As of March, the Northumberland Hills Hospital Auxiliary are on target to reach $1-million for the hospital's new Clinical Information System.
Auxiliary Chair Selena Forsyth shared the news at the December hospital board meeting, along with other glad tidings – such as the fact that they are on target to give the hospital $160,000 in March - “which was our goal, and we still have high hopes for.”
This is possible through the generous support of the community, which was shown (for example) at the recent two-day Month Before Christmas sale at their Petticoat Lane thrift store that brought in $2,763 over two days and the Volunteer Appreciation sale that raised $441.05 in its first 90 minutes.
The store is located at 25 Munroe St., Cobourg, and they have a draw coming up Dec. 17. Forsyth urges everyone to drop in and get their tickets.
And if you're at the hospital, check out Customer Appreciation Days at the Little Treasures gift shop Dec. 2 and 3.
