The Grinnell Regional Medical Center Auxiliary hopes
to fill its tree in the the medical center with angels. This project is a way
to honor or remember loved ones through the purchase of an angel ornament for
the tree. The GRMC Auxiliary will begin selling the ornaments on Thursday,
November 1, in The Glass Gift Box at GRMC.
This year’s angel ornament is made of brushed pewter
with small clear jewels in the dress of the angel. After Thanksgiving and
throughout the holiday season, more angel ornaments are added to the tree as
they are purchased. They remain on display in the admissions department of the
hospital until the week of December 17 when the ornaments may be picked up and
taken home by the person who purchased the ornament or given to the honoree.
The tree will remain on display until after December 25.
Funds raised will go toward the purchase of new beds
for GRMC and the auxiliary scholarship fund for individuals pursuing a
healthcare degree. This year the auxiliary provided $5,000 in scholarships to
area residents entering or continuing a healthcare education.
To purchase an angel and support the work of the GRMC
Auxiliary, stop by the GRMC Auxiliary’s gift shop, The Glass Gift Box.
Ornaments will be sold from Nov. 1 through Dec. 16. Angels are $10. For more
information, contact the GRMC volunteer coordinator at 641-236-2588.
