Hospital Auxiliary pie sale a big success

February 24, 2017

Hospital Auxiliary members Carolyn Dinning, Shirley Mayo, Jennifer Wasescha, Bev Hokanson, Claudia Reno, Betty Phalen, Amy Anderson and Irene Rice show off this year’s pie selections.

Thank you to everyone who donated or purchased pies at the famous Hospital Auxiliary Pie Sale on Thursday, February 16. The 50 pies and cakes were sold out by Noon and the Auxiliary raised over $1,000. Over the past year, monies raised through the annual pie sale and other fund raising events, including the ever-popular raffles, have been used to purchase patio furniture for the extended care facility, an phthalmoscope for the emergency room, a pulse oximeter and over-bed tables for acute care, a rebounder for physical therapy and deep well tables and a Mayo stand for outpatient surgery. In addition, the Auxiliary funded a bench for outside the outpatient services lobby in memory of late member Annie Koon. The Hospital Auxiliary, started in 1954 to assist at the hospital, is seeking new active members to join the group. If you are interested, please come to the next meeting at 11:30 a.m.  Tuesday, March 14 at the Chic-N-Chop Restaurant. Women and men are welcome.
