History
In the summer of 1950 the administrator of Shelton General Hospital
met with seven local women who were interested in organizing an auxiliary
to aid the only hospital in the area. Following a luncheon for prospective
members, there were 113 ladies willing to participate in fund raising
projects.
In 1968 the new Mason General Hospital was dedicated and the Auxiliary
was reorganized under the name of Mason General Hospital Auxiliary.
The membership  continued
to grow and over the years, through various money making projects,
the Auxiliary has annually donated funds for new hospital equipment.
The Auxiliary supports and staffs the MGH Gift
Shop within the hospital
with the proceeds going to scholarships to students entering the
nursing or other medical professions. The Auxiliary also supports
the Life Line Program to help for low income subscribers.
Varied fund raising projects over the years have included -- card
parties, concerts, cook books, raffles and bake sales. The ladies
have assisted with the Blood Bank draws and help with Fantasy
Forest activities.
If you are interested in joining the Mason
General Hospital Auxiliary or have questions, please
plan on attending the next monthly meeting. |
