Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The Gift Auction returned and was very successful and everyone had a great time. The selection of gifts was outstanding. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. Thank you to the businesses who generously supported us, and thank you to the members who worked many hours to make this happen, and to everyone who came out to support us.
This has been an amazing year for our group as we celebrated our 50th Anniversary of raising money for help fulfill the wish lists of various departments of the hospital that add to the comfort of the patients. Holly Twig started in 1972 with less than ten members. Today we have over fifty members and we have plenty of room for you. We take a break for the summer, and we will be back in September. Come join us and be part of this group as we work together to make it possible to fulfill our Mission is to raise money to purchase comfort items for the patients of RWJ Barnabas Health/Community Medical Center. 100% of the profit of our fundraising goes into those items that are selected from a Wish List that is made up from various departments. In the past, we have contributed such items as warming blankets, reclining chairs and televisions for the patients, just to name a few. None of the money goes into the hospital operations.
It is important to mention that this hospital recognizes and respects the senior population in the area and continues to grow with our health issues in mind. This is the closest hospital, and the one you will go to in an emergency.
Even though it’s summer, our members continue to knit and crochet. We appreciate your donation of any weight yarn. The baby weight is turned into precious little caps for the new born babies to wear home. The heavier weight yarn is used to make other items which we sell at our boutique. Your support and generosity makes this possible. Please call Susan to arrange for pick it up. Approximately 1,200 babies are born each year at our hospital.
Holly Twig meets the second Wednesday of the month at 9:30 a.m. in the H.C. Berkeley Clubhouse #2 - upper clubhouse. Being part of this group doesn’t take very much time, and is very rewarding. We look forward to meeting you. We do not have meetings in July and August.
