| Dear Valued Donor,
 As
we reach the end of our fiscal year, June
30, 2008, the Foundation is proud of its
accomplishments through our partnership with
our donors and the community at large. To
date, we have raised $1.1 million.
The Foundation’s emphasis for May/June
is the Angiography Suite Acquisition Campaign
with a goal of $2.6 million. We have already
contributed and raised approximately $680,000.
The project consists of renovating one of
the fifth-floor operating rooms into the
Angiogram Suite. This renovation is expected
to take up to 18 months. We anticipate completion
by December 2009 with installation of the
equipment. The Foundation’s campaign
will end October 2009. You still have an
opportunity to join our campaign by volunteering
and/or by making a donation. We are very
excited to bring this much-needed project
to ACMC.
A major site visit took place on Monday,
May 12, 2008 for a potential grant of $1
million from a local foundation. Board of
Directors is 100/% pledging.
As we continue to move forward to complete
our year, we are excited about our 18th Annual
Gala--June 7. Already we are expecting
over 350 guests in support of our honorees
and mission. It will be a great evening,
so please make sure you are in attendance.
On another note, when I think of all that
has occurred around us, I thought about the
importance of giving; and I found this article.
A new study helps explain an irony of modern
times: increasing wealth. Psychologists found
the greatest joys of all can be attained
by giving money away (Elizabeth Dunn).
It confirms that those who have a generous
spirit and altruistic instinct for helping
others live happier and longer lives. If
you haven’t had an opportunity to give
this year, try it.
Sincerely
Cherlyn L. Spencer, MSW
Executive Director
