All Auxiliary members and volunteers are invited to join us
for the Auxiliary annual meeting on Tuesday, April 25 at the
First Lutheran Church, Geneseo. Registration begins at 9:00
a.m. and the meeting/program will begin at 9:30 a.m.
You can celebrate the accomplishments of our Auxiliary this
past year and meet the new Auxiliary officers and board
members for 2017. We always have a good time together!
To wrap up our meeting, the Nutritional Services department
will serve lunch — a treat you won’t want to miss! Because it
is National Volunteer Week, Hammond-Henry Hospital
provides lunch after the Annual Meeting to honor and thank
all volunteer and Auxiliary members for their services you
give to HHH. Hope to see you there!
