| AUXILIARY HAPPENINGS
The work of the 2004 Hospital Auxiliary is well underway. The donation of $39,000 to Grace Cottage is helping to construct the new laboratory (see related story, front page), and the laundry staff will be the beneficiaries of a new washing machine. Thanks to everyone who helped with Fair Day and on the membership drive - your hard work made this possible. At Super Supper, held in February, we express our appreciation to all the volunteers that help us throughout the year. Planning for the 54th Grace Cottage Hospital Fair Day, on August 7, 2004, has already started. (For example Denise Choleva, who runs the fried dough booth, is desperately seeking an additional Fryolator - any thoughts?) We welcome suggestions for the Fair theme and entertainment throughout the day. Please consider helping, even if you only have an hour or two to spare that day. Our dedicated booth chairpersons always need volunteers, as does the art show, bingo, auction and common set-up crew. If you can help, before, during, or after the Fair, contact me at 365-4455.

In partnership with Fleming Oil Company, Grace Cottage installed a new heating oil tank this fall. Now, we no longer have to worry about striking oil in front of the original hospital building! This had been a big concern since the former tank had been installed in 1960. Fortunately, there had been no leakage.
