Dear Members,
March 20th officially marked the beginning of Spring, even though it has felt and looked like spring for several weeks. I think Spring is my favorite season – a time of renewal, the seemingly dead plants and trees coming to life with beautiful flowers and leaves.
Our Cups of Gratitude event was a huge success! We sold all of the 730 cups of candy. A special thanks to Jan Carlson for organizing and planning this event and to the ladies who put them all together. Also, a huge thank you Walgreens for giving us a great price on the candy and to Anita Slattery for the donation of the ribbon to make the cups so pretty!
I would also like to thank Mike Bruce from Bruce Masonry for donating his time and services to install the three new bricks in the Get Away Garden. Be sure to check the Get Away Garden out when you are visiting the hospital and now would be a good time to become a “Waterfall Patio Sponsor.” If you would like more information, just send me a message by clicking the Contact Tab here on our webpage.
Have you had a chance to look at the newly remodeled Family Counseling Room? This was one of the projects completed by the funds raised by the Auxiliary. We have a couple of more items to add, but it sure does look nice! Take a look; I’m sure you will agree.
Be sure to check out the calendar to see what events are coming up! Don’t forget the Spring Luncheon coming up in April. See you there!
Wishing you all a blessed Easter and a fun summer!

Dear CCH Auxiliary Members and friends,
The holidays are behind us and now it is time to look forward to the New Year ahead. We have much to accomplish this year.
Coming up in February we have our annual Cups of Gratitude event. We are in need of 5 more volunteers to assist in assembling the Cups of Gratitude. We will be meeting on Tuesday, February 7 at 9:00 a.m. at Jan Carlson’s home to assemble the cups. If you can join us, please give Jan a call at 919-498-1379 or myself at 919-498-1157. As the saying goes “many hands make light work” and we have a lot of fun!
We will also need assistance on Tuesday, February 14th at the hospital to deliver those cups that were ordered and to sell any we have left over. If you can spare a little time, please let us know.
Don’t you have someone special you would like to order a Cup of Gratitude for? They are only $1.00 and just think how happy you would make someone when you present them with this little cup filled with candy! Be sure to pick up your order form at the Gift Shop!
Be sure to check the calendar for more upcoming events!
Thanks for all you do!

Dear Auxiliary Member,
New Year is the time to reflect over the past year and to once again thank God for wonderful family and friends.

Dear Friends,
Its official, the Christmas season is here! The lobby and the gazebo at the hospital are now decorated and looking so very festive. A special thank you to Jack Beyer, Jan Carlson, Brenda Garner, June Gunter, Crystal Hickman, Mary Buck and Dick Philbin for assisting with the decorating.
I know that during the holiday season our schedules become very busy, but please take time to remember someone special by filling out one of the Lights of Love forms and making a donation to our Auxiliary. Your special someone’s name will be inscribed in the “Lights of Love Book of Remembrance” which is displayed next to the “Lights of Love Christmas Tree” in the lobby. (Be sure to tell your friends and neighbors as well.) Remember with these funds, we will be able to continue our many projects that benefit the patients, visitors, staff and our community.
Be sure to check out the upcoming events and let us know if you would be able to assist.
May the miracle of Christmas fill all of your hearts with warmth and love.
Merry Christmas!

Dear Auxiliary Members,
Fall is here with the cooler weather, falling leaves, colorful mums and pumpkins. Only four weeks from now we will be celebrating Thanksgiving, one of my favorite holidays. A time to reflect on all the blessings that have been bestowed upon us and a time to say thank you. I would like to say a special thank you to all of you for the time you have given to assist with the vendor sales, auxiliary activities and of course for all you do as a volunteer in your role at the hospital. We really couldn’t do all that we do without each and every one of you.
I look forward to seeing all of you at the upcoming Auxiliary Fall Social on November 10th. Sure to be a fun time!
See you then,
Gail

Enjoy your summer!

Greetings everyone!
I do hope everyone had a most blessed Easter. We all have so much to be thankful for. Our families, our friends, our country, our health and you, our wonderful volunteers.
It was really nice to see so many of you at the Volunteer Appreciation luncheon. The colorful hats worn by many of you reminded us that spring was really on its way. (Be sure to check out the Photo section!) I look forward to seeing you at the hospital and at the many upcoming CCH Auxiliary sponsored events. Be sure to check out our Upcoming Events Schedule to see what is scheduled in the next few weeks. If you havent already volunteered to assist with one of these events and would like to, be sure to contact Crystal Hickman.
I want to thank all of you who have paid your dues to join the CCH Auxiliary once again this year. Everyone that has paid should have received their membership card. If you have not received your membership card and have paid your dues, please let me know. If you have not yet joined and would like to, the dues are only $5.00 per year. As a member of the Auxiliary you will be included in the upcoming fall event.
Also, if you have any suggestions or ideas for the CCH Auxiliary, I welcome you to contact me to discuss.
Thank you so much for everything you do!
Sincerely,
Gail Carucci
President CCH Auxiliary
