The last regular meeting of the Neepawa Health Auxiliary was held Oct. 6 at the Legion Hall, with luncheon provided by the Legion Ladies Auxiliary.
Seven local members attended the annual conference in Russell on Sept. 28 to 30. The theme was 鈥淓nergize 鈥� Mind, Body and Soul鈥�. There were 116 Auxilians in attendance from throughout 水果视频. It was reported that there are 393 members in 水果视频 and these members have provided 85,731 volunteer hours in 2014. These same people raised $222,422 and used these funds to provide needed items for health services in local communities not covered by the province or regional health authority.
Our local Auxiliary has 44 paid up members 鈥� there continues to be a need for baby blankets or afghans for the hospital cupboard and additional volunteers for the visiting program.
The fall business canvass continues, as does the annual raffle. The draw will take place at the annual tea.
Fall Tea will take place on Oct. 28 from 2 to 4 pm at the Neepawa Legion Hall.
Next month, the Health Auxiliary will convene the Flu Clinic on Nov 5.
The NAHA鈥檚 next meeting will be Nov. 3, at the Legion at 11:30 am. Anyone interested in health is welcome to attend our meetings.
