"As a mother of young children, I thought it was very important to
have and keep a local hospital. I couldn't support Kirby financially
at the time, but I could support them by volunteering m
y time."
Her favorite part about being a member of the Kirby Auxiliary is meeting
and getting to know the other wonderful members. Her favorite Auxiliary
event/activity so far is decorating the Christmas trees with Bill Haworth
and his amazing crew for O'Night Divine. O'Night Divine is a a
gala event hosted at Kirby Medical Center during the holiday season as
a fund raiser for Kirby Auxiliary. It consists of a nice dinner, wine
tasting, dessert bar and hot cider, a variety of musical entertainment,
and a tour of 25 professionally decorated trees. This event is open to
the public each year.
"When I first joined the Kirby Auxiliary, several elder stateswomen
of the Auxiliary took me under their wing and helped me get acquainted
with members and showed me how important our role was in supporting Kirby.
They lead by example."
Kirby Medical Center is thankful for Veronica's dedication to our Auxiliary!
