Ruby's Christmas Surprise.

Ruby Parker was a hospital volunteer for over 50 years. Now she regrets not being able to volunteer any longer. She's 87 years of age.

A current volunteer, Lela Boix, decided to organize a surprise for Ruby. She had hospital volunteers and employees send their good wishes via individual Christmas cards which Lela then delivered on Christmas Morning.

Needless to say, Ruby really was surprised.

PHOTOS
These folk came to judge the Christmas trees and decorations in the various departments around the hospital. I was allowed to follow them with my camera.

They had a big job ahead of them with all there was to eat, and all the hot chocolate that they had to drink.

I left before their final judgements. I'm glad I didn't have to choose what was best. Everything seemed so wonderful.

At Last !
She's back, finally, and we are all happy to see her running the show in the Gift Shop. It's not an easy job, and it was amazing to see Kevin Hilton manage the show for all the weeks that Trish went missing.

Welcome

New Volunteers that you may see on the front desk, in the Gift Shop, or other areas of the hospital. I think it's wonderful, with every new face I see. I want to applaud and shout from the roof-tops
Happy Days.
Tricia Payne, the manager of the Hospital Gift Shop, gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Of course I had to use that excuse to get my camera out. They do make a lovely photo. Just click on a photo to enlarge it.

Harmonicas For Therapy

At the last quarterly meeting of the hospital volunteers a vote was taken to authorize funds for the purchase of harmonicas that would be used for breathing classes.

Anyone wishing to donate or help can call Pat Armstrong at 270-765-2819.

Mardi Gras Photos

On Tuesday, 4th of March, I set up my camera in the lobby and took photos from 10.00 am till 2.00 pm. I want to take this opportunity of thanking those hospital employees and volunteers who got in the spirit of the day and let me take their photos. It all takes time and effort, not just the photographing but all the computer work etc.

So thank you again to those of you who made it all worth while. You are appreciated.

Stock Taking
Stocktaking is a major function for the Volunteers' Gift Shop. It requires a lot of coordination as far as finding enough participants is concerned. It's done twice each year. Above we see Phyllis Brandenburg and Linda Peters scanning items from the gift shop shelves.

The photo below shows Tricia Payne, the gift shop manager, busily sorting items to be counted.

The Gift Shop

The gift shop is operated by the hospital volunteers and the profits provide thousands of dollars that are donated for good causes.

We look forward to the opportunity of serving you and supplying many items that are not available anywhere else in Hardin County.
