New officers were installed in ceremonies for Parkview-Montpelier Hospital Auxiliary during their noon luncheon Monday, June 10th in the fellowship hall at St. Paul’s Methodist Church, Montpelier.
Members gathered for their year-end luncheon meeting conducted by President Armeda Sawmiller. She led all in the auxiliary prayer followed by all enjoying a ham loaf meal with cottage potatoes, a variety of salads and pies.
Roll call was answered sharing a memorable vacation. The thought for the day was “There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart” by Celia Thaxter. Treasurer Joyce Schelling performed the candlelight memorial ceremony honoring three auxiliary members who passed away this year—Mary Michael, Deloris Dennis and Jean Young.
