HOSPICE AUXILIARY
2014/2015 ANNUAL REPORT
Helping Families Care for Their Loved Ones
President’s Message
Auxiliary Events To Come
Over 75 members of the Hospice Auxiliary continue
to promote the work of Hospice.
During the course of the year the Auxiliary serves
in meeting assorted needs that patients and
families might encounter.
Our support for the Children’s Grieving Center has
not only continued but has expanded. The Auxiliary
plans to once again designate the proceeds of
2015’s Fundraisers to go to the Children’s Grieving
Center. The Children’s Grieving Center provides
services to children ages 4 through 18 years of age
who have lost a loved one and are in need of
bereavement support.
*Wine Tasting Event on June 9, 2015 at
Nostrano Vineyards in Milton, NY.
Hoedown II was held in June 2104 and once again
was deemed a success.
The ever popular Mum Sale took place in
September and results were better than previous
years thanks to an expanded presence in Sullivan
County.
The Auxiliary decided to forgo Dine Out for Hospice
in 2014 but has brought it back for 2015 with a
“new twist”.
Fund/friend raisers in 2015 call for a Wine Tasting
on June 9th at Nostrano Vineyards, a “Tea-less”
Tea Party and a “White Sale.”
*Dine Around- Dine Out for Hospice
a new twist on our annual fundraiser.
Each participating Restaurant will choose
their day to support Hospice. Coming soon
to a restaurant near you!
Thank you for all your continued support as we all
look forward to another successful year!
A “Tea~Less” Tea Party
No need to dress up and no place to drive.
“Invites” coming soon!

Mum’s the Word!
Our annual mum sale was held in early fall under the
direction of Auxiliary Board Members, Mary Bonura
in Orange County and Rachelle Klugman in Sullivan
County. It was both profitable and rewarding, thanks
to the generous support of each co-chairs team of
auxiliary members who came out in support.
Thank You Hoeffner Farms, Montgomery, NY for
your continued support.
The Auxiliary continues to provide mattress pads and
hospital bed sheets for patients in need who receive
hospice care at home.
We continue to collect coupons from BED, BATH &
BEYOND to purchase our sheets and pads.
We are thankful to Mr. Earl Bryan, Manager at Bed,
Bath & Beyond in Newburgh for his help and service
to the auxiliary when purchasing these items for our
patients and families.
As historian I am creating a scrapbook of our events,
newspaper clippings and photographs. If you have
anything of interest to add to this scrapbook please
forward them to me through the auxiliary or drop them
off at the Stony Brook Office. Thank you.
Pick-up location in OC was Anthony’s Pier 9 in
New Windsor.

Annual Report of the Kaplan Residence Liaison
The work of the liaison provides a conduit from the
Residence to the Auxiliary so that current needs may
be addressed and help provided as appropriate.
The Auxiliary has continued to finance supplies such
as aprons for the volunteers, tote bags for family
members to use for taking personal possessions
home. Arts and craft supplies were purchased for
young children to work with our social work intern.

Restaurant in Rock Hill.
