The Morrison Community Hospital Auxiliary Spring Tea will be held on Thursday, May 3, 2012, at 1:30 p.m. at Morrison United Methodist Church, 200 W. Lincolnway, Morrison, IL.  The Auxiliary Spring Tea is an annual, fun-filled event.  Members gather to socialize, share information, and enjoy refreshments.  The tea is also a way to inform potential new auxiliary members about the benefits of joining.

This year's Guest Speaker will be Judy Naftzger of Albany, IL.  Her presentation is called "Tea and Timeless Treasures."

Please feel free to bring a hat or select one from her beautiful collection upon arrival.  Also, homemade and delicious treats will be provided by the MCH Dietary Department--The Meet & Eat Café.

Throughout the year the MCH Auxiliary offers many fundraising opportunities.  The money raised from their efforts goes into a scholarship fund, designated for local graduating students who are going into the healthcare industry.

Also, money is donated back to the hospital for needed hospital equipment and facility improvements.  The auxiliary has donated funds to purchase

• new wheelchairs for the hospital
• a utility cart for the maintenance department
• a wheelchair weight scale for the Four Season's Living Center
• Tiger Straps for the EMS Department
• a Nintendo Wii for the Rehabilitation Department
• storage bins for the Purchasing Department
• a flat screen television for the front lobby
• new items for the MCH Dietary Department.

To learn more about the MCH Auxiliary and how you can make a difference, please call 815-772-4436. 

"A $5 annual membership fee and a little time can go a long way," said Vi Parkinson, President of the MCH Auxiliary.  "We are always looking for new members who would like to help our efforts."
