On January 9, 1968, official paperwork was signed at the Church of the Holy Communion, making the Church's parish house at 1407 So. I St. the home of the Hilltop Day Care Center. The Center started operation in mid-January, supplying needed child care to low-income parents. It was sponsored by the church and the Hilltop Multi-Service Center and operated Monday through Fridays. It had room for 37 children. The Episcopalian minister on the far right is Rev. E.O. Winckley, the pastor of the church. The woman in the middle of photograph wearing a broach is the director, Mrs. Janabea Gamell; the other woman is unidentified. The man standing is Herman Walker, head of the Hilltop Multi-Service Center. Photograph ordered by the Tacoma-Pierce County Opportunity & Development, Inc. (TNT 12-27-67, A-5, TNT 1-13-68, p. 20)
