We're back in the saddle at the SMHA ranch! Here's some of our latest news:
- Our raffle on a case of lobster raised $1,375, which is a great result! Thanks to all the volunteers who sold tickets and to all those generous people who bought them. We have this raffle every summer, so expect us to be "trapping" you in our lobster raffle next year!
- The auxiliary recently made a large donation of $5,000 towards the purchase of 12 new mattresses for the long-term care residents. The mattresses are already in use and are providing the residents with superior comfort and support. This donation represents a large percentage of the money raised by the Auxiliary over the past year. Here's a photo of Auxiliary President Doreen Wooder (right) and Stewart Memorial Hospital Nurse Coordinator Kelly Blanchard with one of the new mattresses.
- Four of our members attended the PEIAHA annual meeting on Saturday, October 22 at the Montague Curling Club. Our members enjoyed meeting up with fellow auxiliary members from across PEI. This meeting marked the end of the Kings County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary's two-year term as the PEIAHA executive and they all did a great job! The baton now passes to the Western Hospital Auxiliary in Alberton, so we look forward to a trip west for the semi-annual meeting in April.
