Archibald Named Easter Seals Captain For Meeting Street Drive
Robert T. Archibald of Bristol is named captain for a second year in the Major Gifts Division of Meeting Street School 1973 Easter Seal Campaign. Howard W. Armbrust chairs the division as 17 captains and 85 workers launch a statewide appeal to support a private Rhode Island health agency serving 130 multi handicapped children and 23 severely handicapped youngsters under new state mandatory education and therapy laws. The school also runs an infant program for birth to three, with monthly mother training, and handles about 200 new cases annually, though space limits cause a waiting list. Major Gift workers stress Meeting Street School is Rhode Island’s sole facility of its type and relies on local support.
