IT is a significant year for the Maleny Hospital Auxiliary, celebrating 40 years of fundraising! Over the last few years, the Auxiliary has managed to provide items such as a slit machine for eyes, a jaundice monitor for the midwife clinic, a ‘tilt in space’ wheelchair, and a king single sofa bed for one of the Palliative Care rooms.
The Auxiliary also provided a block wall around the front gardens, and supply and maintain the colourful pots at the back of the hospital adding vibrance for patients and staff.
Invited guests included Mayor Rosanna Natoli who addressed the 130 plus guests on volunteering and the progress of the Hospital refurbishment.
A display table of crafted morning tea treats from the 80’s, and a colourful celebration cake tied in the 80’s with a current day vibe. The cake was cut by the Auxiliary lifetime members, Diana Bryce, Gillian Allen, Norma McLeod.
The auxiliary were thrilled to have two founding members of the Auxiliary, Bernice McLelland and Wendy Nugent attend to join in the celebration on Wednesday September 4.
