From the President ~
Happy Fourth of July; to one and all. We are completing our 2016-2017 fiscal year with our final
meeting of the year on June 26th, culminating with the
presentation of ten $2,000 scholarships to hardworking,
dedicated recipients. Our thanks go out to Barbara Hawthorne, Dorothy Lake and Mary Newbold who evaluated the applicants’ applications and selected the
winners.
Over the past year the Auxiliary has financially
contributed to numerous NHMC causes through the
Cookie Walk, Tree of Love, Special Donations and
miscellaneous giving. These donations benefit hospital care in areas where budgets did not cover, in
departments like ED and Radiology.
In addition, we have donated an installment of
$33,333 toward our $100,000 pledge to the Northridge Hospital Foundation’s Capital Campaign.
Many thanks to the Gift Shop which is our main
source of revenue; making it possible for us to contribute to these service that NHMC gives to patients
and the surrounding community. Shop in our amazing
Gift Shop where you’ll find unique items, trendy
clothing; great gifts and help our bottom line.
We have also had some awesome presentation
during our General Meetings. Thanks to Debra
Flaherty for doing a wonderful job as VP of Programs.
Thanks to all committee members and leaders who
support the Auxiliary through the giving of your time,
talents and money. The Auxiliary could not do what it
does without your dedication and support.
Tell a friend or relative how rewarding it is to be
part of the NHMC team. More volunteers and Auxiliary
members will make us even better. Invite them to a meeting and to join our team.
Have a wonderful summer. Try to keep cool. I look
forward to seeing you at the Summer Party during our break. Board and General Meetings will resume in
September.
Again, Happy Fourth of July. GOD BLESS
AMERICA! The land that WE LOVE.

MERRY MEMOS
The Dignity Health and Northridge Hospital Beautification Project is now in the final stages. I encourage all of you to take a tour around the hospital and notice all the:
► Humankindness Signs ► Beautiful Wall Art Work ► Inspirational Messages ► Murals ► Window Stencils
The Humankindness message is alive in all of us and will affect those we interact with each day.

BITTERSWEET GOODBYES
I have written countless memos but this one is bittersweet. It’s farewell to a lovely co-worker, officemate, and friend. I wish her nothing but the best in her new phase in life. We all wish Gaby Evans much happiness and many roads to be travelled whether it is hiking the trails of our backyard or to dreamed of destinations. Congratulations.
With one farewell comes a new journey. I would like to introduce our new Volunteer Coordinator, Karen Sabatino. Although she is new to the role, she has been affiliated with Northridge Hospital for 8 years in the Infant Hearing Screenings. I am sure you will be awed by her kindness, and loving spirit. Mary Grim and I were impressed by those qualities and felt they were important to her new role as Volunteer Coordinator. Also, we sought to capture an individual with familiar ties to the hospital, someone who knows the importance of work- family.
Please come by and welcome Karen. She will be in training for a few weeks with Gaby’s assistance.

VOLUNTEER NEWS
Where do you see yourself?
Her hopeful words attack our ears.
The president needs volunteers
For vital club events forthcoming
To keep its infrastructure humming.
I cringe, I rearrange my purse.
I check my broken nail (looks worse).
That clock must be a little fast-
My watch reads just a quarter past.
They ought to paint the exit door.
Is that a penny on the floor?
An angel voice sounds from afar:
“I’ll organize the next Bazaar”
(Cookie Walk, Summer Party, ___. Fill in the blank!)
Another saint deserves ovations-
She offers, “I’ll head nominations.”
The president relaxes then…
Now I can look at her again.
