100 Mile & District General Hospital Auxiliary held its annual general meeting and installed its officers for the upcoming term at a luncheon held in the South Cariboo Health Centre's Multipurpose Room on Feb. 5.

The 100 Mile & District General Hospital Auxiliary held its annual general meeting to elect its board and installed its officers on Feb. 5.

Mina Elsworth is the president after a one-term rest from holding this role, and says she is looking forward to getting back at the helm.

"Mostly, I'd like to see some new members. We'd really like community members to consider joining to boost our auxiliary and maybe bring some new ideas."

There is less of a need for volunteers for hospital equipment fundraising events, she explains, as that aspect is currently going "very well."

Roberta Graves is the board's new vice-president, along with treasurer Joyce Bueckert, secretary Lucia Medeiros and Ruth Kachur as past president and publicity convenor.

Medeiros says the Eclectica Community Choir spring concert will once again split proceeds between their hospital auxiliary and the Mill Site Lodge/Fischer Place Auxiliary.

The concert takes place at Martin Exeter Hall on May 10 at 7 p.m., with entry by donation to the auxiliaries.

Other annual events this year include the hospital auxiliary's Spring Tea, slated for early June, a garage sale toward the end of August, and its wintertime bake sale. The dates for which will all be announced ahead of time.
