PACKAGES FOR UMSTEAD
We owe a vote of thanks to Ellen Marks, who
wrapped approximately 300 packages for the patients at Umstead. Each patient in the Guilford County Unit received at least two gifts
which were greatly appreciated. Thanks to
Ellen and all those who contributed.
CHRISTMAS CARD PROJECT
Our Christmas card project for the benefit of
AMAERF netted $666 from fifty contributors.
The Board was very pleased with the success of
this project and pleased to be able to contribute to this worthy cause.
Thanks go to Betty Jane Buie for designing
our card.
KNOW WHAT YOUR AUXILIARY IS PRESENTING

abuse information project which will be
presented to the membership on February 18
(our regular meeting day) at 10a.m. in the
Cranford Room of Wesley Long Hospital School
of Nursing Building. There will be a film
and panel discussion. Please plan to come
so that you will be able to tell others
about this Auxiliary-sponsored project.
There will be no luncheon held at this meeting^       	
YOUR DUES ARE DUE'
In fact, past due.  If you have not already
done so, we urge you to pay them promptly.
Also, please study the enclosed sheet so
that you will be prepared for discussion
and voting on this issue at the January
meeting.
DOCTORS' DAY
Doctors' Day, the annual February event at
which we honor our husbands, will be held
the evening of February 27. Fran Lake,
Doctors' Day chairman, has engaged the
Elks Club. There will be a buffet dinner
and program for your entertainment.
Please plan to come, since this is the
only event during the year in which the
husbands are included. There will be a
$5.50 per person charge.
LEGISLATURE DAY
A day for the Medical Auxiliary to go to
Raleigh to visit the legislature has been
set for March 6, Thursday, because of the
great success of this program last year.
The program will include meetings with
individual legislators, observing meetings
of the Senate and House, a luncheon at
the Carolina Country Club.  If you are
interested, keep this in mind for March.
