1 Sutter Delta Medical Center Auxiliary June, 2013 The Pulse of the Auxiliary Happy Fathers Day to all Fathers & Grandfathers!! It s hard to believe this year is half way through. I would like to thank all the volunteers for their hard work and dedication to Sutter Delta Medical Center and a welcome to all of our newly joined volunteers. On April 25 th the hospital staff presented us with an appreciation luncheon. Like always the menu was delicious and enjoyed by all. It was a treat to be waited on by the hospital staff and we were given a very special treat, when a group of nurses broke out and sung a Thank You song to us. Luncheons such as this one offer us an opportunity to visit with volunteers other than those on our own shift. June 20 th we will have our next General meeting and luncheon at Carpaccio in Oakley. As always, Barbara Stoiber is doing an excellent job setting up these luncheons. See Barbara for details about this luncheon. I would like to wish everyone a happy summer and safe 4 th of July.

3 THE PULSE OF THE AUXILIARY PAGE 3 VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH Peggy Grabus I came to the U.S. from Canada in 1961 and went to work for the school district. In 1993 I had a stroke and had to retire. After recovery, I had to keep moving so volunteering was something I was interested in doing. I recently received my 6,000 hour pin. I find volunteering to be very rewarding. I meet very interesting people and it s a great way to give back to the community. I have 4 daughters and 8 grandchildren. What a blessing! I enjoy working with all my fellow volunteers. They are very dedicated people. Thinking of You. Thinking of you and sending good thoughts to all that need them. Get Well Soon. David Greenlaw You are in our thoughts, and we're all hoping that you will be enjoying better health again soon. HAPPY BIRTHDAY June 5 - Cristina Guiriba June 11 - Christine Whitby June 24 - Richard Wallis 3

4 THE PULSE OF THE AUXILIARY Page 6 The following is a thank you letter that the Auxiliary received from the Women s Health Center. Lindalee Rovai Auxiliary President The staff of the WHC and the Social Workers would like to thank the volunteers for their generosity. Their willingness to assist a complete stranger in need was heartwarming. Our patient (we will call her Mary) delivered a beautiful baby. During her stay, the staff noted that something was not right and determined Mary was in an abusive relationship. Fearing for her safety and that of her baby Mary found the strength and courage to leave the relationship. With the generosity of the volunteers (The Auxiliary gave a check for $500.00) and staff in the department and in different parts of the building, we were able to buy Mary a car seat, baby supplies and clothes, clothes for Mary, shoes, personal hygiene items and a few other things she needed to start over. We did send her with some cash to buy what we may have forgotten. Mary and her beautiful baby left here for emergency shelter for the next month with permanent placement to follow. Thanks to the volunteers, we believe we have saved the life of a mom and her baby and provided them with the opportunity for a fresh safe start. Thanks for all you do. Women s Health Center staff If you are interested in being on the crab feed committee, please call me, Our first meeting will be in August, since our Crab Feed next year will be held on February 1 st at the Antioch Community Center. (Pruitt Water Park) Thank you, Lindalee Rovai Auxiliary President 4
