Arthritis Society Refocuses on Public Info and Fundraising
The Manitoba Division of The Arthritis Society, led by Chairman Gil Wilde, will stop sponsoring the province wide therapy program and shift to public information and fundraising for research.

Over the next year the society aims to raise 200 000 for medical research and manpower and mount a 150 000 capital campaign to equip a basic research lab at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg.
