             With winter fast approaching and our "Snow Angels" returning from the north country, our volunteer roster is filling up quickly. Please stop into the office to get your badge and to let us know that you have returned. Also, there are still a few who have not picked up their 2011 gift from the hospital.  

              Our annual Christmas cookie party was held on December 8th in the hospital cafeteria. The Auxiliary treated the hospital staff to cookies, coffee and fruit punch. The High Vista Chorus performed Christmas carols, and once again did a terrific job. Special thank-yous go out to Joyce Greenwood, Wanda Yaeger, Judy Mettinger and Mary Ann Donovan for preparing the room and serving the cookies.  Pictures of the event can be seen on the Photo Page.   

             The Service Excellence classes are now scheduled on Tuesdays from 8 AM until 10 AM. The next class will be on January 10th. These classes are very informative and interesting. It will make your volunteer work much more rewarding. Other classes are scheduled for January 24th, February 7th and February 21st, 2012.

          Our TLC volunteers are always in need of more magazines and books for the patients. If you have any to donate, please drop them off at either the front desk or the gift shop. Thanks.

          The hospital nursery is looking for baby blankets to send home with the newborns. If you can knit or crochet, or can donate yarn for this, please contact the auxiliary office.  

          If you would like to volunteer more hours or want to cross-train in another department, please see Judy, Tesa or Bob in the Auxiliary office. You can help recruit more volunteers by placing our applications in your community clubhouse or by talking to your friends and neighbors and telling them about our services to the hospital.

           A reminder on the Service Excellence star-of-the-month award that HOF provides for us. Remember, you can nominate any volunteer. Just fill out the nomination forms that are found in the office next to the bulletin board. Our star for January will be Maria Figueira. Theresa Couture was our December winner. Congratulations!
