PRESIDENT’S

MESSAGE

Carol Dixon

Here, as promised last month is the rest of your Board of Directors for 2015 (in no particular order!)

Patti Gitschel, (Courtesy Desk) tells us that she grew up in Portland, has two daughters and one son and eight grandchildren She worked as a Claims Agent and was transferred to the Bay Area, living in San Bruno. She met her husband through friends and moved to Paradise in 1990. She has been President of the Elks Wives three times, and started at the Courtesy desk in 2007.

Betty Roberts (Gift Shop) was born in Oklahoma and came to California in 1949, living most of the time in Woodland. She has three girls and worked for Mobil Chemical for 28 years. After her first husband passed away, she remarried and moved to Magalia. After he passed away, she began volunteering at the hospital.

Sharee Gray (Hospice) moved to Magalia last August from San Ramon, where she lived for 17 years. She and her husband have a daughter and a son. She volunteers at the Hospice two days a week, and has been a volunteer for three months. She loves Magalia and the wonderful people at the Hospice. Helga Ryer (Meals on Wheels) is new to the Board this year, but has been a MOW Driver for six years. She was a first grade teacher for 25 years, and was encouraged by a classroom helper to join MOW upon her retirement. She has lived in Paradise for 30 years as a transplant from San Diego.

“The first thing I do in the morning is to make my bed and while I am making up my bed I am making up my mind as to what kind of a day I am going to have.” ~Robert Frost

Each day I do make my bed and I do think about the day ahead of me; I think about how truly blessed I am to work with such wonderful people. As I sit down to write this article, the tree outside my office is blooming and the sunshine is once again with us…Spring has sprung! With Spring comes our Annual Volunteer Recognition Luncheon, celebrated during National Volunteer Week. I look forward to April 15

th

(no, not for tax day) where I will have the opportunity to see many of you there and thank you in person for adding joy to my day. We will be celebrating (among the other anniversaries) eight Volunteers who have 25 years or longer of service!

We had an absolutely fantastic presentation by at our March General Meeting by Diana Siler, RN from the Joint Replacement Center (JRC). She will be provid-ing her PowerPoint presentation to us at a later time and we will share some of the highlights from the meeting. A big take away for me was that the JRC offers free classes every Monday to explain about their program.

As you can see from the Volunteer Opportunities list, we are in need of volunteers in some key areas. While we recruit year round for all volunteer opportunities, we find ourselves in desperate need from time to time in certain areas. Please take a look at the list and see if anything interests you or if you know someone who is interested in volunteering, send them our way.

Can you believe you encountered 2,685 patient/visitors during the month of February? This is the count I have between the E.R. and main lobby courtesy desk.

And, the stories that these people tell us...their illness, sadness, happiness and even a few jokes. How happy they are meeting the first or second grandchild as we escort them to O.B. Maybe they have come to the hospital to say "goodbye" to a loved one.

Do you know how important your job is? When visitors come to the hospital you're the first person they see and they expect you to answer any questions they have. Or they've had a bad day and take their "grumpiness" out on you. You smile and help them anyway. That's what we do, smile, help, answer questions and walk.

It's nice to know how much you matter to so many people. Happy Easter.

HOSPITAL COURTESY DESK

Patti Gitschel

HEALTH CENTER COURTESY DESK

Rosemary Poshard

Just a few quick notes to let you know that we are down both regular and substitute volunteers. The current volunteers are doing the best they can to fill in but if any of you have an interest in helping out at the Health Center Courtesy Desk, please be in touch with me or Rebecca right away.

As you have all probably encountered, both as a Volunteers and as patients, parking is a real issue here at the Center. Staff are being asked to park across the street so that the patients won’t be impacted. Please be courteous about where you park when on duty.

Also a word about appointments, especially those individuals using buses or being dropped off at the Center. Be sure that your appointment is at the Health Center and not at the Hospital. We do not have a shuttle to the hospital and volunteers are not allowed to transport patients.

DEPARTMENT PROFILE

Karen Fry Miller

This month I want to tell you about the volunteers at the Main and ER courtesy desks. I dropped by the hospital lobby this past week looking for Patti. Gloria and Nancy were on duty and told me she was working the ER lobby. I managed to make my way there myself but not with-out frequently checking the directional boards along the way. I have been a frequent visitor and even so it can be confusing so imagine how it seems to first timers. I found Patti tidying up the very beautiful ER lobby area and taking inventory of supplies. The Café provides the coffee when it runs out but the volun-teer has to let them know. At this moment all was in good order so Patti asked if I would like a tour of the hospital to see some of the locations where visitors are escorted. As Patti mentions in her article to the left, last year the hospital courtesy desks tracked that they provided assistance to over two and a half thousand of visitors. Wow! Their friendly, helpful fac-es are the first that anxious visitors see when they walk in and the “May I help you?” is a welcome relief for those here for the first time.

Among the many things these volunteers do while on duty is checking the list to see if the patient is registered, and keeping a tally of how many people were helped. If the patient is not registered, they are directed to admitting.

Some visitors come in under their own steam but if it is obvious they have a hard time walking, they offer them a wheel chair. If the family member cannot push the patient, and the patient seems too heavy for the volunteer to push, Transport is called for assistance. If they can’t come, then the volunteer calls the department and hopes they can send someone.

Many folks coming in through the ER are actually going to another part of the hospital so escorting them can mean going all the way back to the main lobby. We passed Cardiology, the Birth Day Place, Imaging, Same Day Surgery, the Chaplain’s Office, and the Records Office. I know there were others and I know this wasn’t the order we saw them in but whew! That’s a hike and I only did it the one time!

By the way, I meant to visit the Health Center lobby this past month too but Rosemary was busy one week and the next week it just went clean out of my mind. I will get there soon and meet all you swell vol-unteers and share that experience.

Thank you for shopping so well with us in the Gift Shop. The Noelle brand of women’s apparel,

especially the scarves are selling wonderfully. What is in the shop is all that is left of their spring line.

We will have an awesome fall and winter line

coming in September.

One of the items you have mentioned wanting to have in the shop are angel coins. Thank you for letting us know. It is currently our best seller.

You have also asked for more delicate jewelry – swing by and see the new Annaleece cabinet on the left side of the shop. Extras are also in the

cabinet by the cashier.

If you need a small card to go with a gift or for a special event, there is a new line in the front

window. Our Naked Bee lotions are now in – check out the tester with the Coconut fragrance –

nice and mild.

Sugar free candy is available in the candy section.

We have a new line of reading glasses: Peepers. They are in the back of the shop.

Enjoy shopping and thank you for your support.

Nancy Zastrow

As we enter the month of April and the Holiest weeks of the year, I ask God’s Blessings on all of us, His children! Christ has Risen! He has Risen indeed! Happy Easter! We continue our efforts at the stores with excellent sales figures for February which is usually a slower time of the year. We have seen an increase in traffic since the Salvation Army relocated nearby, which could be contributing to our increase in sales. We hear every day how affordable our pricing is and how friendly our volunteers are. Now is the time you may want to be cleaning out the attic, garage and closets and drop things off. Oh and don’t forget that we really like getting the big stuff i.e.: clean furniture, clean, working appliance, tools, yard and patio items and our guys will make a pickup. Call the store (872-4255), for an appointment. We have a large truck with a lift for those heavy items. If you have smaller items, they will be happy to take them while they are there. Why not check with your neighbors to see if they have items as well? Then arrange a date and time for the truck to pick up all the large items from the whole area at once. Think about it! Help us and the Hospice program! We continue to rearrange, clean and paint in the back of the store and hope to have it more pleasant to work in by the end of the year. February Sales $ 17,390. Year to Date $ 32,920. Dates to Remember: April 22nd Department meetings Boutique 10 a.m. CANCELLED Support/Sorter 11 a.m. CANCELLED Sales/Front Floor Noon CANCELLED Linens/Domestics 1p.m. CANCELLED

EMERGENCY CODES

Review Emergency Codes attached to your ID and know where the emergency exits are,

the fire extinguishers and fire pull stations are.

Volunteers are only to perform the tasks they have previously been trained to do

during an emergency.

These codes are reviewed annually at our Volunteer Education Day.

If you have any questions please

ask your supervisor or call the Volunteer office.

THRIFT STILL NEED BAGS

Don’t forget the Thrift Store needs any any extra clean, with no holes, plastic bags

that you have. It would especially great if you straighten them out and drop them

off at the store.

Did you know…

If you shop at FoodMaxx or SaveMart, 3% of your purchase can support our Meals on Wheels

program? That‘s right!

By picking up a S.H.A.R.E.S. card from the Volunteer services office and having the grocery clerk swipe

the card as you pay, 3% will go back to our Meals on Wheels program. It won‘t cost you a thing, but the

benefits can be enormous.

Contact Rebecca to have a card sent to you. 876-2134 or rebecca.williams@ah.org.

CONDOLENCES

Remembrances are on the next page

AUDREY BOGUE Audrey Bogue, a longtime resident of Paradise went home to God. She was 95 years old. Audrey was the wife of the late Raymond Bogue. They were happily married 55 years. Audrey was born in Butte, Montana, daughter of Elmer and Mae Miller and had one sister, Pat Erhart. They were raised in Downey, California.

Before moving to Paradise, Audrey owned and oper-ated her own business, "Audrey Bogue Insurance", for 17 years in Santa Monica, California. She was a lifetime member of Soroptimist International.

Here in Paradise she served with the Paradise Irrigation District as Secretary for nine years. Since 1984, she was a regular blood donor and volunteer at Feather River Hospital contributing many gallons of blood and logging many hours of service to help around the Hospital.

Auudrey was a member of St. Thomas More Catholic Church. Family and friends were an important part of her life. She referred to herself as a "People Person" and truly loved her friends. Audrey will be missed by her many special friends here in Paradise, especially her friends at Church, her neighbors, and the "Thursday Lunch Bunch."

Audrey leaves behind her nieces, Susan and Barbara, who have cared for her these past years. She also leaves great nephews, AI, Ben, John, Tom, Patrick, Daniel, and great niece, Ann. In addition there are five great-great nieces, Bailey, Addison, Gabriella, Anna, Samantha and one great-great nephew, Mark. The family is enriched and blessed for having had such a dear Aunt.

DOROTHY HOILAND STANLEY

Dorothy Hoiland Stanley passed to her rest on March 3, 2015. Dorothy, also known as Dottie, was instrumental along with her first husband, Dr. Dean Hoiland, and three other physicians and spouses, in

the formation of the Feather River Sanitarium. (Dr. Hoiland is fondly remembered not only for his efforts to help bring the facility to fruition, but also for his great kindness to everyone, patients, employees, colleagues, and anyone he met.)

Dottie was known to take the night shift nursing schedule at times, and it is believed that she was the organizer of the children’s choir that sang Christmas carols on that first holiday season after the sanitarium opened in December 1950.

Dottie was part of the first Ladies Auxiliary group that developed into the Pink Ladies, and is known today as our Volunteer Services.

she also served for many years on the Feather River Health Foundation Board, and was an active Trustee until just last December, when she became a Trustee Emeritus.

Dottie and her second husband, Jim Stanley (also a member of our Volunteer Services) have been strong supporters of Feather River Hospital.

REMEMBRANCES

If you hear of the passing of or loss by one of our volunteers, and you do not see it in the

Pink Feather, please email their name to the Editor, Karen Fry Miller,

at pinkfeathereditor@gmail.com.

None should go unnoticed.

"Hoppy" April and a "hoppy" spring that has been with us for quite some time already this year. On the horizon is our annual fundraiser. The Dining Out event will be held Thursday, May 14th. For those who aren't sure how the event works, I'll give you a quick overview. Local restaurants give the Meals on Wheels program a percentage of their receipts for the day of the event. Last year the total amount of financial success was over $17,000. You may wonder how you can be involved so for starters go out to eat on May 14th. Better yet, go out for two meals. Participating restaurants will display a banner in front of their establishments. Some restaurants support us for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Others are involved for lunch and dinner depending on their hours of operation. Just by eating, you have helped the cause. For additional involvement, when you are called by a "captain" to help, just say yes and then find out what you've agreed to help with. The bottom line is many people are needed to make Dining Out successful and most jobs only require two hours of your time. (You get a snazzy T-shirt too!) A big thanks to Laura for taking on the Tuesday E route permanently. We also have one new MOW driver who will begin driving soon. We still need a long term sub for a Lunch Loader on Mondays and in general we need to build up a pool of substitute Lunch Loaders we can call upon as needed. Our monthly stats are as follows: 65 volunteers drove 3,996 miles delivering 1,676 meals. Awesome for a town the size of ours.

I wanted to share with you that as a special bonus,

Rebecca has arranged for a gasoline truck to

dispense 2 gallons of gas to every Meals on Wheels

driver. Due to safety issues, the tanker truck can only

dispense the gasoline at the Volunteer Office

between 2:00 and 4:00 AM on the fourth Tuesday of

the fifth month. Be sure to come see Rebecca on that

day as she dresses up as "Lube Lucy" to greet us.

Thanks Rebecca for your creative reward to Meals on

Wheels.

If you bought any of that I have some

Rolex watches I can sell you quite

Cheaply as well. April Fools!!!!!!
