Ransom Memorial Hospital Auxiliary hosts an informal coffee on February 28 from 1 30 to 3 p m in the Conference Room of the old building. Members are urged to bring prospective members. Dues are 2 for active members and 5 for associates. The auxiliary began with the charter meeting on April 23 1934. Since then it expanded to recruit volunteers for reception duties in 1959 and to start refreshment, library, sewing and landscaping services in the 1960s. In 1964 the group sponsored the Pollies fundraiser and funded a 3200 remodel of the emergency room.
