AUXILIARY HAPPENINGS

GOLDEN JUBILEE AT FAIR DAY

Fair Day chairman Stan Holt of Townshend states that plans for the big day are progressing nicely and hopes are high for the biggest attendance ever. Stan is grateful for the groundwork laid by his predecessor, Carleen Pelsue, and joins the hospital Auxiliary in thanking her for two years as hard-working chairperson.

The Grace Cottage Auxiliary, which initiated Fair Day in 1950 and has sponsored it ever since, has found time between Fair Day planning sessions to carry out its traditional schedule of events:

Super Supper XV on February 11 at NewBrook fire and rescue in Newfane proved to be a smash hit, thanks to Alki Stereopolis's trio, Jon Tobey's MC'ing, Rosie Wilson's clever stand-up comedy -- and pot luck food which pleased even the pickiest eaters.

Boston Bound

on May 20, for the annual bus trip. Forty- five Auxilians enjoyed the Red Sox, shopping, tours, and great restaurants. Join us next year!

Membership Drive in Progress. Annette Leigh reports receipts now total $6,200. The $12,000 goal can be reached. Dues still $1.00 (or more) per family member. "Dues" contribution of $20.00 or more, paid before July 1,2000, makes the donor eligible for a "Millionaire's Weekend" raffle.

NOTE: Can You Sing? The West River Valley Chorus, which will be performing at Fair Day, is looking for a few additional good voices. Rehearsals will be on Wednesdays in July. Call Alice Gausch, Director, at 365-4132.
