Shriners Hospital-Treasure Boxes

Glenda and Nancy took 49 Treasure boxes to the SLC Shriner's Tuesday, September 2nd 2008.

One of the directors of the hospital, Malissa Phillips, gave them a tour of the hospital. She showed them where they make wheelchairs for the kids, the class room for children that need to keep up with their studies, the PT room and where the children have surgery. They were also shown the great big play room where the kids can run, yell and play games. Children that don't need a wheelchair are pulled around the hospital in little red wagons.

The Shriner's hospital in Salt Lake takes children from UT, NV, NM, ID, CO, and three towns in Mexico. The hospital was built in 1995, but you would never know it. It looks like it was built this year. There are only 40 beds, and they have 5 rooms that are fixed up like a hotel room for the family that needs to stay close to their child. The rooms also have a bed next to the child's bed for a parent. Its a very pretty, pleasant place.

Things were a bit slow Tuesday, not many kids were there that day, but Glenda and Nancy were able to give a couple of children a box. The hospital has a lot of out-patents and the children that were in the hospital for a longer stay were in their rooms and Glenda and Nancy could not visit them without a background check.

Glenda hopes to be able to take more boxes to the Shriner's again in March of 2009. That will give her and the rest of the chapter members time to paint more boxes. She has already received 2 box's from a lady in Florida and 15 box's from a lady in Prescott Arizona!!! Thanks Glenda for being a member of our chapter and for being the Utah Coordinator of the Memory Box Program.

Did You Notice Our New Chapter Logo?

Back in Janurary we held a contest to paint a new logo for our Chapter, one that would better reflect our Chapter name. Juanita Denton judged the submitted pieces and chose the one submitted by Tirzah Probasco. The prize was one day free at the Nancy Baur Seminar. Since then a bit of work was done to "tweak" the scanned image of the piece so that it would really show up on our web site. We hope everyone is pleased with the results. We will now begin to use the new logo on not just the web, but also name tags, signs, even business cards.

Senior Center

Nancy Snow, the activity coordinator at the Senior Center, will be retiring this September. The Senior Center is giving her a farewell party Sept 29th at 1 pm. The Chapter thanks Nancy for all her work on our behalf and we wish her all the best.

Chapter Minutes

Attending:

Nancy called the business meeting to order at 9:17 am and welcomed our seminar teacher Nancy Baur.

Our Chapter participated in the Brigham City Peach Days with a window display of art by a number of our members. Once again our window was given an award for the "Most Artistic Display". The Award is on the back table, along with the candy prize. Everyone is encourged to enjoy a piece.

Glenda and Nancy took 49 Treasure boxes to the Shriner's last week. (20 of those were done by Glenda herself!!!!) We will have some photos in the newsletter. Lydia took 8 Memory boxes to the hospital and said they could use more.

Nancy encouraged everyone to sign up for Nola Snowman plate next month as well as the Christmas Party. It may seem a bit early, but it creeps up fast.

September is also the beginning of our annual membership drive and time to pay your dues. After December 5th there is a $5 penalty.

Finally, the SLC Chapter asked Nancy to announce that Feb 20th-21st 2009, they will have Sharon McNama Black there for a seminar doing a milk can or a tray with a rooster. We will try to get a photo for the newsletter of we can.

The seminar was then turned over to Nancy Baur. Below are a couple of photos of the seminar.
