This month we will be talking about our lunch in September. Volunteers wanted.
We also will talk about the Christmas party in Dec.
It has been a good summer so far. Hope all are well.
See you August 8th at 10:30.
 

It has been brought to the Board of Directors attention, that there was vandalism done in the Dart Room. Most of the darts were destroyed. Unfortunately we cannot continue to replace the darts. If you are interested in playing darts in the future, please provide your own darts to play with. Once you are finished playing, please take them home with you. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

 

Holly Twig welcomes guys as well as gals to volunteer with us and be part of this group as we work together to make it possible to fulfill our mission 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.
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. We can also re-gift new items that you would like to donate. Your support and generosity makes this possible. Call us to arrange pickup of your donation.  

Here is what’s coming up:

Sales are from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Outpatient Lobby 
and parking is free.

Our next meeting is Wednesday, September 14th. 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. Refreshments are served and we have a program.

The context of some recent false social media postings has been taken out of context. These postings have created many questions by the share owners about our proceedings and format. Please accept our apologies as we learn how to conduct meetings properly. Be assured the 2022 Board of directors are always discussing a wish list and always seek how to proceed legally when suggesting things like having our own 50/50 raffle.  Many changes have been happening and we hope the share owners are favorable to the ideas we put forward. There may be a cost associated with transparency, but we will always discuss the ideas publicly before making any final decisions. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Your input is both welcome and needed. Please vote yes if you would like to see the you Tube channel to continue.
