PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
“Seeds Sown”
I am writing
this to you as a
fellow Auxiliary
member ready
for a new year as
President and
open to learning
new things right
along with you. It is a beautiful
spring day as I write this and the
sun is shining so I am enthusiastic
for new growth within and around
me. I have a favorite reflection,
“Seeds Sown” that really speaks
to me in the Spring.
We do not always know what
happens to the seeds we plant
during the course of a day. Many
of you are here because of a
seed planted by a friend, family
member, something someone
just said in passing. That is how
things come to grow. We can
continue to grow members of the
Passavant Area Hospital Auxiliary
by the seeds we sow.
After the May and June meetings,
I see that it will be a busy and fun
year. The May Luncheon was a
success, the Duck Race was a
success, and even though we will
not meet again until September,
the wheels are turning and work
is being done to assure that the
Bazaar is a success. If you get a
call, please help any way you can.
A friend of mine, also an Auxiliary
member, says, “If you cannot do
what you are asked, ask if you can
help in any other way.”
Sow those seeds among your
family and friends and maybe
those seeds may just grow in to a
new wonderful Auxiliary member.
There is a lot of fun to be shared
by being a part of this group.
Patty Fitzpatrick, President
This year’s Bazaar theme is “Wonders of the Season.” We will
be celebrating the many wonders of Passavant Hospital and its
importance in our community.
The Bazaar serves as a major fund-raiser for the “Advancing Health”
work of the Auxiliary. The proceeds this year will again be used to fund
the Stress Echocardiography System.
Please join us Friday, November 11, from 3 to 6 p.m. and Saturday,
November 12, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. You’ll find some traditional favorites,
as well as a few surprises at this year’s Bazaar.

Mini-Medical Days Announced
for Fall
Mini Medical Days are coming October 18, 19 and 20! These
days are an important Passavant Auxiliary community outreach,
as well as a learning experience for second grade students from
Jacksonville and surrounding communities.
We invite you to participate by serving as a guide as the children
walk through the hospital and learn from presenting experts
about imaging, rehab, anesthesia, laboratory, infection control,
and visit the ambulance/paramedic bay and experience a
pediatrics patient room.
It’s so much better for children to learn about where they or loved
ones could come if needed, but without the stress and anxiety.
You’ll have fun and maybe learn too!
Volunteer by calling Marilyn Kimmons, 245-6109, or Linda
Swisher, 299-6285.
