A chairman salutes citizens for funding a community hospital open day near. The drive raised over 318000 with planning spanning six and a half years and involved many volunteers, auxiliary workers, staff, and the Chamber of Commerce. Former residents are expected to attend the opening and view the facilities.
Mrs. Muriel Adams organized the Georgetown and District Memorial Hospital Women's Auxiliary in 1958 with 135 members contributing over 3500 to the new hospital. The group launched with a charter meeting at Adams home on November 8 1958 and plans continued fundraising including art exhibitions and a Christmas Ball. A pledge of 5000 toward nursery furnishings was fulfilled with a 1000 payment bringing total to over 3000. The Auxiliary will staff the Hospital Gift Shop and provide patient services as new hospital operations begin.
