The Hammond-Henry Hospital Auxiliary would like to invite you
and a prospective member guest to Come Smile Awhile with us!
The Auxiliary Development committee has
a new idea for a fundraiser event. The
“Power of the Purse” will be a chance for
you to donate some of those purses you
have stuck away in your closet but no
longer use.
Please drop off your gently used purses at
the volunteer office by October 24. In
return we will give you a $5 coupon to be
used on your purchase of a “new” purse at
the event.
The “Power of the Purse” event will be held
Thursday, November 10 at HHH in the first
floor conference room from 12 noon – 6
p.m. That day, there will be samples of
desserts that you can order for all your
holiday festivities.
Women’s Health Luncheon
and Men’s Health Series
The Women’s Health Luncheons will begin
again on September 22 at 12 noon at the
Cellar on the topic of medical marijuana.
Anyone interested is invited to attend. Please
register by calling 944-9112 or email to
[email protected]
The cost is $8 for the lunch (payable at the
door) for those with reservations.
The next Men’s Health Series program will be
October 12, 7 a.m. in the HHH 1st floor
conference room.
Volunteer Training
The next volunteer training is scheduled
for Wednesday, September 14, 9 a.m. –
noon in the HHH First Floor Conference
Room.
Active volunteers are required to attend
training once every two years to remain
current. Topics include hospital safety,
volunteer procedures, and general updates
about our volunteer program. Plus it is an
opportunity to meet new volunteers – or
volunteers in other areas in the hospital. If
you haven’t attended for a while, I hope to
see you there.
If you miss the September training, there
will also be a volunteer training offered on
Thursday, October 20, 9 a.m. – noon in
the HHH First Floor Conference Room
(near the East Entrance).
Volunteer training is for new volunteers or
for any volunteers who have not attended
training in the past 2 years.
Thanks to all Ice Cream
Social Helpers!
Thanks so much to everyone who helped with
the Auxiliary Ice Cream Social. Even though it
was warm, we had a great time. The
Auxiliary’s profits totaled $3000 – which will
be a great boost to our scholarship fund.
Whether you baked pies or cakes, helped
serve, set-up, clean-up, or just supported us
with your attendance or your donations, we
appreciate it all.
A special thanks to the Green River Band
and the Daniels family for sharing their talents
and providing such wonderful music for all to
enjoy.
