On Saturday, the Epworth Manor Auxiliary held its thirty-second annual meeting and discussed routine business.
\nMusical entertainment was provided by Aye Tepsic, the opening prayer was said by Epworth Manor chaplain Joan Smith, tea and refreshments were served and a tour of the new facility was given to auxiliary members.
\nAuxiliary president Gloria Harris thanked members for their support over the past year. Karen Rumberger gave the secretary\u2019s report; Ann Clark gave the treasurer\u2019s report and proposed budget for 2003-04. Reverend Paul O\u2019Brien gave the installation of new auxiliary officers, and Epworth Manor Executive Director Robin Stern also spoke at the meeting.
\nThe new officers for the 2003-04 year include: president, Linda BeQueath; first vice president, Darla Jones; second vice president, Vicky Davis; secretary, Ann Sharer; assistant to the secretary, Darlene Myers; treasurer, Ann Clark; assistant to the treasurer, Darlene Cupp and historian, Edie Graves.
\nThe Women\u2019s Auxiliary has served for more than 30 years and raises money for activities and supplies at Epworth Manor. This year the main fundraiser will be for a soft ice cream machine.
\n\u201cThey\u2019ve donated money for a soft ice cream machine, which is worth the price of a car,\u201d said health care center activities director Pauline Stout. \u201cThey\u2019ve set up a library in the personal care building, and they also paid for part of a lounge in the personal care building. For both buildings, they\u2019ve paid for all kinds of outings and some special events.\u201d
\nThe women of the auxiliary decide every year how much money should go into the budget for supplies and activities for the residents of Epworth Manor. Then the women spend the rest of the year raising money to met that goal.
\n\u201cWe would not be able to afford these large ticket items that they provide,\u201d said Stout of what life at the Manor would be like for residents without the help of the Women\u2019s Auxiliary. \u201cI would say our outings and special events would be cut in half.\u201d
\nBesides activities, the Auxiliary helps to pay for items in nursing such as slings and bibs for the residents. Also, the Auxiliary offers welcome baskets to every new resident of Epworth Manor. It also supports the gift shop and the library, and the Auxiliary paid for the new chapel cross in the personal care building.
\n\u201cThey\u2019ve had many special sales and fund raisers to provide these special gifts that are way beyond what we could do,\u201d said Stout. \u201cWe certainly appreciate them. They are always helping and always available, and I don\u2019t know what we would do without them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
