A warm thank you to Senior VP Ron Rozanski for conducting the installation ceremony, as devised by and with the help of Gaby Evans. After the installation we enjoyed a presentation by Rozina Nensey, RN, MSN, Clinical Manager of Telemetry 3G to show a bladder scanner and to discuss the importance of a blanket warmer, both purchased with funds donated by the Auxiliary. I would also like to extend a thank you to Jean Cosby and Diane Hunter, who co-chaired the Cookie Walk on May 4th. Through their efforts and those who assisted them, they raised over $600 which will go directly to patient services. Our final General Meeting for the fiscal year will be held on Monday, June 27th in the Education Auditorium at 10:30 a.m. This will be our Scholarship Luncheon, and scholarships will be awarded by Barbara Hawthorne and her scholarship committee: Jennie Eliades, Dorothy Lake and Mary Newbold.
