The Grinnell Regional Medical Center Auxiliary hopes
to fill its tree in the medical center with angels for the upcoming holiday
season. 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 Friday, Nov.1, in The Glass Gift Box at GRMC.
This year’s angel ornament is a trio of three small
vintage-look angels, silver in color. 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 GRMC Auxiliary’s
$150,000 pledge to the hospital’s Moving
at the Speed of Life comprehensive campaign, with $100,000 committed to the
GRMC Auxiliary Chemotherapy and Infusion Suite. The auxiliary’s lead gift for
this new area was the catalyst for GRMC to move forward and complete this
project.
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 November 1 through December 16. Angels are $10. For
