Thursday Briefing: Honoring FHF Volunteers, Shrek Opens, USA Gymnastics Regionals, Farm Swap and Music Jam, Sharpton March

April 26, 2018 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment

florida hospital flagler volunteers
In honor of National Volunteer Week, Florida Hospital Flagler hosted a volunteer appreciation luncheon at the Halifax Plantation Golf Club in Ormond Beach on April 18 for more than 120 participants. President Richard Nixon established National Volunteer Week with an executive order in 1974 to recognize and celebrate the efforts of volunteers. Every sitting U.S. president since Nixon has issued a proclamation during National Volunteer Week. In May of 1980, the hospital’s volunteer auxiliary was formed with 53 Flagler County residents. Today, Florida Hospital Flagler has more than 175 active volunteers assisting in 25 departments throughout the hospital. Collectively, this group of volunteers has donated more than 1.6 million hours in service to Florida Hospital Flagler. ‘Our volunteers are so important to our hospital,’ said Kathy Gover, Florida Hospital Flagler chief nursing officer. ‘They touch our patients and support our staff members in so many ways. We truly appreciate their time and talents.’ As a special gift of appreciation, SuperWash Express donated gift certificates for a free carwash to the hospital volunteers. ‘We are inspired by all volunteers and what they give back to our communities,’ said Paul Bradley, president of SuperWash Express. ‘This is a small thank you for all the time they give to others.’ Click on the image for larger view.

“I used to lie languid and dreamy before our tent and muse on the past and the future, and when most overcome with lassitude, my eyes turned always toward the distant Black Hills. There is a spirit of energy and vigor in mountains, and they impart it to all who approach their presence. At that time I did not know how many dark superstitions and gloomy legends are associated with those mountains in the minds of the Indians, but I felt an eager desire to penetrate their hidden recesses, to explore the awful chasms and precipices, the black torrents, the silent forests, that I fancied were concealed there.”

–From Francis Parkman’s “The Oregon Trail” (1924).

Announcements:

The Online auction to benefit the G.W. Carver Center in Bunnell is now open. Art Work, Local Experiences, Restaurant Gift Cards, Baskets, FCYC Summer Camp Registration & Trip Specials, Window Cleaning, Kayaking Tour, Furniture, World Wide Time Share, Camping Rentals, and the list goes on and on. The purpose of the auction is to raise money to go back into the development of the Carver Center. The Flagler County School Board and Flagler County Government have both owned and managed the facility over the years. Due to budgetary constraints it appeared it would be necessary to close the facility in 2010. A coalition was born to save the Gym and restore it as a community center. Our foundation was created to serve this facility with grant funding and equipment/supply needs. In order to participate in this auction you must register for a bidder account here. On the last day of the auction if a bidder submits a bid in the last 3 minutes before auction closes that item will extend for another 3 minutes and that process will repeat for up to a half hour the official close. Go bid here. If you have any questions please contact us via email at [email protected]
