The Greene County Medical Center Auxiliary, Jefferson, Iowa, celebrated its 40th anniversary this year. We compiled our history and showed it off with displays and brochures. We even sewed and displayed quilt blocks from past quilts that have been raffled by our organization. We then held an open house that featured these displays and tours of departments where our organization donated funds for specific equipment and furnishings. Refreshments were served and commemorative pens were given.
This event got us busy and worked on compiling our history. Before that, we had bits and pieces, but this really pulled it together. The volunteers worked very hard to get ready for this event, with very little help from our staff. It was a fun celebration.
