6TH Annual River Rafting with Wiley E Waters! |

Saturday July 23, 2011 -
Our Summer Party is also our Annual Membership Meeting. Remember - this is YOUR organization. Invitations coming soon.
Our carnival is coming along nicely - thanks Elaine Williams for heading this up.
So far: games, lots of prizes, a jumping castle, a water slide, snow cones, lunch provided by Applebees, your favorite mascots, karaoke, and lots of fun.
And at the end of the day, the Inland Empire Motorcycle Coalition will end their annual ride for kids with cancer at Calvary. Parking lot rides in the sidecars will also be available.

 The hospital has discontinued meal card assistance for in-hospital families. We have supplemental cards that can help. We've added a $25 cafeteria card to our new patient bags and will continue to add supplemental assistance. As always, supplemental cards are also available for those lengthy clinic days too.
Check in with Michaella in the office or call 509-474-2759 or 509-443-4162 for more information |
