Madison County Hospital CEO Fred Kolb (standing, center) accepts a check from Edie Tolley, who volunteers as the manager of the hospital gift shop. In 2009, the shop netted $16,000 for the Auxiliary. Standing beside them are gift shop volunteers: (from left) Jane Widen, Pam Farlow, Beverly Dhume, Marilyn Eberhart, Marge Berchtold and Vi Carter. All proceeds from the operation of the gift shop are used to purchase equipment and furnishings for Madison County Hospital.

At the Madison County Hospital Auxiliary’s January meeting, new officers took the oath of office. They are: (from left) Pam Farlow, vice president; Joan Denes, president; and Vi Carter, secretary. Marjorie Deyo is treasurer.
