Dear Hospice Supporters,
Thank you to those who were able to help out at our Canada Day information booth.
We’ll also have a booth at Pride in the Park on August 12th and at Blackberry Festival on August 18th. If you’d like to volunteer for a shift at either of these events, here are the links to sign up. These opportunities are open to all our members!
We don’t have any big fundraising activities taking place over the summer, but mark your calendars for Saturday, October 7th, when there will be a Beer & Burger night at the Carlson Club! This event is not hosted by Hospice, but the proceeds will all go to Hospice. There will be a silent auction, live music and all kinds of tasty food. If you’ve attended one of these events in
the past, you’ll know you’re in for a great time!
Congratulations to Sarah Joy Herzog, our Client and Volunteer Coordinator, who was recently named the Woman Employee of the Year by Coastal Women in Business! Sarah Joy is typically
the first person from Hospice that a new client speaks to, as she manages referrals, conducts an intake interview, matches the client with a volunteer, and then follows up along the way. She’s a great support for all our volunteers. Sarah Joy provides and coordinates our annual training sessions for new volunteers as well as organizing monthly continuing education and support meetings with our current volunteers. Well done, Sarah Joy! Your work is very much appreciated.
Along with our new name, logo and website, we’ve changed our e-mail addresses from @prhospice.org to @fourtideshospice.org. If you’re trying to reach a staff person or a board member and you inadvertently use the old address, it will redirect to the correct address and send you a note asking you to update your contact information.
Thank you again for all you do in support of Four Tides Hospice Society. As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like further information on any hospice-related topic.
Cathy Fisher, President
