LIGHTS OF LOVE

Our Annual Lights of Love is here again.  Anyone is invited to donate a light to "remember, honor, thank or celebrate a friend, loved one, dear one who passed away, a new baby, or anyone who has made your life a little easier.  Each $10 light is tax deductible. Donors who give $50 or more will receive an Auxiliary 100th Anniversary Ornament, featuring the Rotunda in a circle of gold.  Lights of Love brochures are available in  Volunteer Services Office.

All funds raised will go to help create the Positive Image Boutique in the UVa Emily Couric Critical Care Cancer Center. 

The Tree Lighting will take place on Sunday, December 6 at 2:30 PM in the Hospital Lobby.  Holiday music will be provided by Lorrie Seitz, Anna Dietrich Covington, Doug Schneider and the Virginia Consort Prelude Choir.  We hear that SANTA will be visiting.  Cookies and Cider will be served.

                       ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Auxiliary will facilitate a CPR class for volunteers, to be provided by the Medical Center's Life Support Learning Center.   The FREE class will be held if there are enough volunteers interested in signing up for it.  The date has not been set and will be set only if there is enough interest.  Please call 434-924-5251 to sign up.  Note: You need to be physically able to get down on the floor to learn the technique (although we may be able to offer a tabletop session also).

Seasonal Flu Shots are available for volunteers FREE at Employee Health.
