4th Annual Oyster Fest
at Rock Hill Farm was
Beautiful & Successful!
Over $30,000 Raised to Benefit
Free Clinic of Culpeper Patients
September 2014 welcomed the return of the Free
Clinic’s 4th Annual Oyster Fest. Recently named one
of the top ten entertainment events in Culpeper for
2014, this year’s event at Collis Jenkins’ picturesque
275-acre Rock Hill Farm was sold-out with over 350
people in attendance.
“It’s an honor to have the Oyster Fest here,” said
Collis Jenkins, Free Clinic of Culpeper Board member.
“This is for a great cause and I’m happy (con’t. on page 5)

Free Clinic Volunteer Spotlight
Chairman’s Corner
2014 Oyster Fest — con’t. from page 1
The Free Clinic would like to
introduce you to Joanne Durr,
one of our fabulous and most
faithful volunteers.
Natives of New Jersey, Joanne
and her husband, David, moved
to Culpeper from Gettysburg
in 2007. Many of you may know
Joanne from her volunteer
work with the Culpeper ‘92
Lions and Golf for Second Base
tournament, an event near and dear to Joanne’s
heart as she is a breast cancer survivor.
Three years ago Joanne walked through the Clinic
door and is now sharing four to five hours of her
valuable time with us every week on Mondays and
Wednesdays.
“The staff, nurses and doctors passionately care
for their patients here and work hard for their well
being,” said Joanne. The Free Clinic can say the
same for Joanne. Last week, she made sure a
patient safely arrived home after his appointment. “It
just seemed to be the right thing to do,” she
explained. “I can’t help but care! When you have
come to love the community like I have, you want to
help those in need.”
Thank you, Joanne Durr, for your steadfast
support of the Free Clinic, your kindness to our
patients, and for always asking, “Is there anything
else I can do before I go?”. You are appreciated!
As I prepare to step down in
April as chairman of the Free
Clinic Board of Directors, I want
to express what a wonderful
experience it has been to work
with
such
supportive
and Nancy Cannon
dedicated board members and with Norma
Dunwody and her great staff at the Free
Clinic. We are blessed to have these caring
individuals helping those in our community that
are in need of medical attention that have no
health insurance and/or underserved by other
means. This past year we provided over $1.8
million in services and prescriptions. We were
very honored to receive the Culpeper Chamber
of Commerce Award for "Non-Profit of the
Year," as we are very proud of the successes
we have reached with our patients.
I would also like to express my sincere appreciation to EVERY volunteer for sharing their
time and talent with the clinic and our patients.
In 2014, our volunteers logged in over 2200
hours.. The clinic absolutely could not function
without their dedicated service.
I want to thank the community for allowing me
to be a part of this great organization. I
leave this position in the good hands of Charles
Perryman, Jr. who has provided many years of
leadership and support to the Free Clinic.
to host it at my farm. I want to keep having it here
because we can keep growing the event.”
Guests dined on all-you-can-eat oysters prepared
in numerous ways by Country Café Catering, as well
as delicious pork barbecue and various side dishes.
Eighty degree temperatures, scrumptious food, live
music by the Stillhouse Band, and a silent auction of
many tempting items all contributed to the Oyster
Fest’s tremendous success.
Please mark your calendars for Sept. 26, 2015.
The Free Clinic plans another repeat performance!
Please Join Joanne!
Volunteers Always Needed
The Free Clinic is in search of daytime
volunteers for Tuesdays and Thursdays for two
hour shifts.
Physicians, NPs, and nurses (RNs and
LPNs) are especially needed for day clinics on

Free Clinic Named Non-Profit of
the Year by Local Chamber
Norma Dunwody, Executive Director, proudly accepts

Commerce’s 2014 Non-Profit

and the Free Clinic is truly
humbled by the recognition,”
acknowledged Dunwody.

To the most delightful benefit
you’ll ever attend
You don’t have to come, it’s
money you’ll send.
For critical prescriptions, medical
care and supplies,
Your generous support will help
save many lives.
No cookies to bake, no china to lend,
No rummage to dig up, no
bundles to send.
You don’t have to worry about
what to wear;
No driving or parking to give
you a care.
Just kick off your shoes, don’t
bother to dress,
Dance your pen on a check, let a
stamp do the rest.
Without usual hurry, have
dinner for all —
You and your family have
answered the “call.”
