A celebration was held on Saturday for a dedicated group of volunteers, who over the past seven decades have raised millions of dollars for a small eastern Ontario hospital.
All dressed up and ready to party, the Winchester District Memorial Hospital Auxiliary celebrated their 75-year anniversary.
In 1948, a small group of women met to discuss the impact that a new hospital would bring to Winchester, Ont., forming before the hospital was even built. "In a year, I'd say we raise maybe $20,000, so for us to donate lots of money it takes time and a lot of volunteers," Beck said. "They have bought everything from chairs to IV pumps to equipment for the operating room," said Jane Adams, communications lead for WDMH."Millions of dollars of equipment has been raised by the auxiliary."
