APRIL 2016
Taste of the Foothills &
12th Annual Cash & Caring Raffle
Our March 31st event under the beautiful sky was another huge success. Thanks to the work of the
committee, the volunteers and all our supporters, we again had wonderful food and beverages, the great
band AFFINITY, terrific live and silent auction items, a tall wine tower, and a lovely venue to celebrate Foothills
Caring Corps. As one of our two major fundraisers, we were able to net $89,510.
Thank you to our supporters with the “ASK” and our Auctioneer, our MC and the President of the Board. The
2016 Humanitarian tribute was given to David Schwan
by last year’s Humanitarian Dick Segil.
Congratulations!

A Helpful Message
from a Neighbor
May I recommend before
leaving for your next
doctor’s appointment,
please call to confirm. I had an experience
that I offer to help my fellow neighbor’s and
volunteer drivers.
After receiving a reminder call the day before,
my driver and I showed up early the day of the
appointment. After a long wait I asked how
much longer it would be and was told it
wouldn’t be much longer. I was called back 45
minutes later.
My doctor apologized for the wait indicating
my appointment had been cancelled because I
didn’t respond to the reminder message that
was left.
To keep everyone happy, remember to call your
doctor back to confirm!
