facing Church Street for additional living quarters for nurses - all costing more than
$135*000.00. The financing of these capital expenditures was made possible by individual contributions and a long term insurance loan.
The Board of Directors and Trustees have been considering a fund raising
campaign to raise additional capital in order that we may continue to present building program, which will provide, according to present plans, twenty eight patient
beds, two new emergency rooms, new nursery, and probably a recovery room.

other group, the Board of Directors and Trustees would like to ask you to participate
in this program, A pledge to be paid over a three year period has been suggested.
