Dear Ms. Shore:

Special thanks to you for the generous donation of a gift certificate valued at $25.00. This gift was a terrific auction item at this year’s “Friends of Hospice” Annual Gala.

The theme for this year’s event celebrated the Silver Anniversary of Old Colony Hospice -we are so proud of that. We enjoyed a marvelous evening - scrumptious dining, auction of twenty-five select items and dancing to a vibrant band at the Boston Mariott Hotel in Quincy on October 22, 2004. Honoring our special supporters and enjoying the vibrant personality of Ms. Susan Wornick, of Channel 5 WCVB-TV, completed our very worthwhile evening!

Our goal was to provide our guests with an enjoyable night and to raise awareness of the benefits of hospice care during the celebration. The $62,000 raised at the Gala directly benefits programs that Old Colony Hospice offers, including nursing care and costly medications.

As a supporter, Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture was promoted in our program book for the event and will be listed in the next Report of Gifts.

Since 1979, Old Colony Hospice has provided compassionate, expert medical care and programs that focus on body, mind, and spirit - with an understanding that serious illness profoundly impacts the patient as well as family and friends. Teams of health care professionals $ill serve more than 700 patients, plus their families, this year, regardless of their ability to pay. This makes it critically important for us to raise money through sponsorships.

Thanks for your role in our evening –

Marilyn A. Jackson
Director of Development/Marketing
