The Auxiliary Board of Directors to United Hospital Center (UHC) held their annual retreat on Tuesday, August 10, at Vincent Memorial Church in Nutter Fort.

 

While new members were introduced, current Auxiliary members completed a history tree that included member names and the history of the Auxiliary and hospital. Scrapbooks of the Auxiliary were also on display for everyone to view.

 

This educational opportunity for new members, also presented a walk down memory lane for many current auxilians—memories that were certain to be a Blasts from the Past. Those in attendance learned that the Auxiliary to United Hospital Center is unique in that it is the merging of various Auxiliaries, not unlike UHC’s history. 

 

The Board discussed the many projects that the Auxiliary has completed, as well as the extensive list of future plans.  These would include fundraising sales, social media ideas, selection of innovative projects, work at the infusion center, and field trip ideas.

 

It was a day filled with activity, education, and renewing friendships.
