The response to our request for funds for Hill-Rom beds was positively overwhelming. An anonymous donor purchased two beds, Shirley Benson donated the funds for another, and the fourth was given by Marguerite Wyman and the Panwy Foundation, for a total of $11,200 given for beds. A grateful hospital and a generation (or more) of appreciative patients salute and thank these angels!

A Pharmacist has been found! We can't reveal her name until she actually begins work this summer, but she's as excited about coming here as we are to have her.

Joan McConnel donated Lincoln Logs for the Rehab Dept. (No, it's not for the staff, but for young patients!)

Many of you volunteered to open your homes to medical student interns. The accommodations sounded so good that it made a few of us want to move out of our own homes into yours! Thank you for your generosity -

WISHES MADE ~ ~ ~

The Valley Health Council received many plastic hangers for children's clothing, in response to their request in the last issue of Cottage Door. Now their need is for pant and skirt hangers, and for a "pop-up" awning-type tent for sales outdoors.

In order to encourage reading, the physicians' offices would like to give a new book to every patient, age 6 months to five years old. If you would like to help fund this effort, please contact us. The physicians would take care of purchasing age-appropriate books, if donations are received.

For further information or to arrange for donation of any of the above Wish List items, call (802) 365-9109.
