AUXILIARY HAPPENINGS
| “Hide not your talents, they for use were made.
What’s a sundial in the shade?”
Benjamin Franklin |
As we approach the 53rd Annual Hospital Fair, the Auxiliary has
need of your talents. Specifically, for August 2, 2003, we are looking
for:
• Auction Chairperson: Coordinates pick ups for the auction
and works with a dedicated team to arrange and deliver items to
the auctioneer during Fair Day.
• Bingo Chairperson: Recruits helpers and oversees Bingo on
Fair Day.
• Raffle Chairperson: Coordinates people to sell raffle tickets
at events in June and July, and oversees the raffle booth on Fair
Day.
• Clothing Booth Chairperson: Receives and sorts clothes at
Leland & Gray High School a week before Fair Day, and oversees
the booth on Fair Day.
Everyone is invited to share their talents in preparation for the
Fair, on Fair Day, or Sunday morning clean up. Keep in mind auction
items - we'll pick them up anytime, anywhere.
The founders of our valley and mountain towns shared Ben Franklin's
knowledge that communities and organizations thrive when people
share their time and talents. Call Stan Holt at 365-4455 for more
information.
PROFILE OF A PRESIDENT
Stan Holt is such an incredibly modest man that he protested against
a Cottage Door profile. Indeed, mention to Stan that you saw this
article about him, and he'll reply with a blush, as he moves on
to a topic he's more comfortable with. But the time and effort that
he puts into the Auxiliary and Fair Day, year round, deserve to
be acknowledged. His jokes, well, that's another story (just kidding,
Stan!).
A native of Hartford, CT, Stan graduated from Middlebury College,
then Union Theological Seminary in New York City. He was a minister
at a rural parish in St. Lawrence County, New York, and then campus
minister (representing four different denominations) at the Univ.
of Cincinnati. He later became a community organizer in Chicago,
Providence, Baltimore and Boston. In 1981, he and his wife, Marge,
left urban life in order to log and grow Christmas trees in Townshend,
but Stan still serves as a consultant to the Massachusetts Public
Health Association and the Rhode Island Campaign Against Child Poverty;
he's also a board member of Windham County’s Youth Services.
Stan and Marge have four children and nine grandchildren.
