Carrington
Health Center Auxiliary
The
Carrington Health Center Auxiliary was organized on December 5,
1985, for the purpose of assisting the Carrington Health Center in
charitable work and to aid the best interests of the clinic.
It consists of many volunteers who provide helpful services for the
hospital. The Happy Heart Hutch, their gift shop at the
hospital, is always adding new and unique gifts for the convenience
of hospital visitors.
Visit their web site to see the thoughtful projects with which
they are involved. All proceeds from the Happy Heart Hutch and
their other endeavors go toward enhancing the efforts and lives of
the health center, its staff, patients, the Family Villa, and
visitors. If you would like to become an Auxiliary volunteer,
please call Dorothy Fenske at 652-7194 or 652-3214.

Carrington
Senior Citizens Club |
|
The Senior
Citizens Club of Carrington is a very active group.
If you're a senior and haven't been to one of their
monthly potlucks, then you're really missing out!
Also, if want to have a nice lunch during the week, just
drop by the club, and have a very nice meal for only
$3.50 (served by South Central Adult Services - the same
organization that provided Meals on Wheels). It's
also a nice place to meet people, to play cards, shoot
pool, play Bingo, or just spend time chatting.

FAITH in
ACTION |
|
For someone with long-term health
needs, something as simple as changing a light bulb can mean
the difference between maintaining or losing independence.
Thankfully, Faith in Action Volunteers in Carrington can
help bring light back into the lives of those with long-term
health needs.
Our program is
a new part of Carrington Health Center that connects
volunteers to neighbors in need. We bring together
volunteers of many faiths to help people in our community
with long-term health needs or disabilities maintain their
independence for as long as possible by providing
non-medical assistance with daily activities.
Volunteer
activities include shopping for groceries, providing rides
to medical appointments, cooking meals, doing light
housework, running errands and providing companionship
through visits or phoning. Volunteers also may provide
respite care and relief for family caregivers.
The Faith in
Action program is beginning here in Carrington and needs
your time and talents. Just a few hours a month can
make the world of difference.
Become the
Hands and Feet of Jesus; put your Faith in Action! For
more information, contact Faith in Action of Carrington
Health Center coordinator: Jan Bakke at 652-7218.

Meadows Memorial Fund
The Meadows family has established an
endowed fund with the North Dakota Community Foundation to
financially assist students from Carrington ND with their
post-secondary education expenses. The primary purpose of the fund
is to aid students in the medical field who have an interest in
returning to Carrington to practice. This may include doctors,
nurses, physical therapists; radiological technicians, physician's
assistants or other health related workers. If there are no students
studying in health-related fields who apply, the scholarship may
then be used for other students from Carrington. The Fund was
created in an effort to attract and maintain qualified and trained
medical professionals for the Carrington area.
Dollars for Scholars: Our Vision
Local Chapter: Contact Tom Erdmann -

students through strong Dollars for Scholars support.

Katie Ralston - Miss North Dakota
Katie rides down the main street of
Carrington in our local 4th of July parade.
Carrington
attendees of the 4th of July Parade enjoyed seeing their very own
Miss North Dakota contestant riding in the local parade. Katie
will be very busy during the coming year, speaking in North Dakota
schools. Her platform, "Walk This Way: the Path of
Leadership," is a concept that came to her as she was helping tutor
a fifth grade class during her senior year. The Miss America
Pageant is next on Katie's busy agenda. There will be a
community send-off for her on January 10, 2010, at Carrington
Elementary School.
