A smile swept over Shelley Hann’s face as she inducted seven members of the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital Guild to their new positions on the group’s board during a recent elegant installation ceremony and dinner at the Tournament Players Club in Valencia.
“We had such a fabulous year with 24 debutantes in the Guild’s Silver Rose Debutante Program and we raised $70,000 to benefit Laboratory Services at Henry Mayo,” said Hann during the two-hour installation event. “I look forward to another wonderful year with Virginia Hart as our Guild president.”
The new Guild board members include President, Virginia Hart; Co-Vice Presidents of Membership, Phyllis Grekin and Tamara Levine; Treasurer, Debra Weyand; Corresponding Secretary, Pam Ingram; Recording Secretary, Mary McCormick and Parliamentarian, Lois Bauccio.
“We have a great group of women on the Guild’s board and I am looking forward to working with them this year to raise $80,000 because that has never been done,” said Hart.
The 31-member Guild is among the HMNMH Foundation’s five philanthropic arms. The Guild raises funds primarily for Laboratory Services at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital.
Its primary fund-raisers include a professionally-produced fall fashion show, luncheon and boutique; a Serendipity Auction in which handmade items are auctioned to raise money for the hospital and the Silver Rose Debutante Program.
