PASHMINAS FOR SALE!
Well done, Sheila Barcier for raising $1,780 selling 89 colourful pashminas…at Hospice events, at the market, at Madoc Fair, on the street, anywhere Sheila could, as only Sheila can? At last count she had 8 left to sell - a lovely gift, for someone's birthday or Mother's Day? The pashminas were purchased in Kandahar Afghanistan by a resident of Centre Hastings who worked there for seven months with the Canadian Armed Forces personnel.
Our biggest heartfelt thank-you, Sheila

Following a half hour visit on the porch, we were invited to the dining room of the Inn for High Tea at 2 pm - a delicious lunch of delicate sandwiches and cookies. After a tour of the beautiful Inn, one of our group was given permission to entertain on the antique piano. It was an unforgettable afternoon with friends who give so much to their community through the work of Hospice.

GOLF FOR HOSPICE JULY 2009
West Highland Golf Club, Madoc - our first attempt with a coach from the community helping us all the way. We knew we could do it but we weren't sure how. Our goal was to have FUN in the SUN. It was a day of large floating clouds but with sun breaking through at times. The fellowship was wonderful making the day a pleasure for all participants even those who "won" the booby prize. Thanks for being good sports, and special thanks to all our supporters who donated prizes and sponsored holes. Looking forward to our next tournament on July 10th, 2010 - sure to be bigger and better!
