Meadows staff thanks ’Market on the Pond’ event volunteers

Dear Editor:

The volunteers who help at the Meadows Nursing Center are very special. Whether it’s our Auxilians, community service organizations, staff, family, friends or neighbors, our annual fundraiser “Market on the Pond” would not be possible without them. We also recognize all our sponsors who were able to help. We salute you!

On June 14, over 120 vendors were ready to sell their wares by 9 a.m. and thousands of community members visited this outdoor event to make it an extraordinary success to benefit the 130 residents at the center. Over $13,500 was raised and each and every dollar will be spent to enhance the lives of residents at the Meadows. The Auxiliary already plans to sponsor an Outdoor Ice Cream Social in August. This is just the beginning of many good deeds.

Without you, the public would not be aware of this event. Thank you so much for “spreading the word.” We are very grateful. We are community!
