HEY DAY 2015
Volume 7, No. 2: Spring 2014
Summer/Fall 2015
Hey Day was once again a huge success by being “THE BEST YEAR EVER” in the amount of money raised by our community
to support our local hospital. Thanks so much to everyone who donated their time, donated items and, of course, the shoppers
who came out to this annual fundraiser.
Lil’s Café provides sandwiches & homemade pies to volunteers & shoppers
alike under the capable hands of Bev Cecchini and her assistant Pam Miller.
Clothing racks are filled and organized by these ladies.
Ferne Richardson presented a cheque
for $2700 to Lorraine Ferguson,
winner of Hey Day’s 50/50 draw.
Brent Thompson, born at KDH and an
Ottawa Senators fan, won the
President’s Raffle, a Sens jersey and
tickets to a Sens game. He looks
pretty happy about that!!

SECOND HAND
ROSE
On October 21, eleven (11) KDHA members attended the HAAO Ontario East Fall Conference in
Carleton Place.
The morning speaker was Kathie Donovan, former co-host of Regional Contact. Kathie gave a very
inspirational and emotional talk on happiness and how to “create the life you deserve”. She has
written a book entitled Inspiration in Action-A Woman’s Guide to Happiness. Many attendees lined
up to purchase the book afterwards.
Shown on the right is Cecile Prodonick with Kathie.
A Certificate of Appreciation was
presented to Elaine McNaughton (second
from left).
V Pin – (Ten Years Service) was presented
to Audrey Halsey (centre).
These awards were presented at Hey Day
as the ladies could not attend the
Volunteer Tea.
The “Second Hand Rose”
section in the KDH Gift shop
offers a range of gently-used
(and still-beautiful) jewelry,
china and other items at
terrific bargain prices.
Betty Beach, Second Hand
Rose co-ordinator, encourages
area residents to donate
jewelry, ornaments, dishes,
and other small treasures that
they are no longer using.
“These items can bring
pleasure to a new owner, and
can benefit the hospital too.”
To donate items for Second
Had Rose, please call Betty at
613-258-4454 or bring the items
to the gift shop during open
hours (every weekday from 9
am – 4 pm.)
Ferne Richardson received a Certificate of Merit
from the Loyal Orange Lodge – Morrisburg in
recognition and appreciation of her outstanding
service to KDH as a long time committed volunteer
and a member of KDHA.
