1990-91 ANNUAL REPORT Greater Greensboro Society of Medicine Auxiliary The state theme "Striving for a Healthy Mind, a Healthy Body, in a Healthy Environment" was used continuously throughout the planning of the 1990-91 year last spring. During the year we assessed our use of the new structure, assessed the bylaws, and policies were written. We began putting job descriptions of executive positions on computer. The auxiliary continues to grow and become more professional as we train volunteers to do many kinds of jobs. MEMBERSHIP: The membership committee's goal for the year was to promote friendliness and personal enrichment for all members of the auxiliary. The name "Big Sister" program was changed to "Sponsor" program, resident spouses were contacted by a representative of the auxiliary, a social group called Moms & Tots was started for mothers and their small children, and KITS (Keep In Touch) continued to have social meetings for those auxiliary members over the age of 60. The Membership Profile was sent to all perspective members with the dues notice in May. The information from the profiles will be entered into the computer as soon as an accurate data base is established. Efforts to welcome our new perspective members included the "Sponsor" program where each newcomer was matched with an established member, special recognition at the September general meeting, Supper on the Grounds with the Medical Society to welcome the new physicians and spouses, and a Holiday Brunch in November to inform the newcomers of the exciting holiday activities in the Triad area and to give them a chance to meet and talk with the Executive Board and sponsors. Many of the newcomers became involved with Moms & Tots, which held four social functions in various auxilians1 homes. The Swim Party, the Halloween costume party, the Holiday party, and the Spring Fling were ways to include young mothers and their children as part of a support group among auxilians. This was a very positive year for membership activities and many new ideas were implemented! PROGRAMS: The state theme was used as a basis for our goals for programs. One goal was to provide health education among ourselves by providing a program on women's health issues. This was the subject of our January Annual meeting. Another goal was to promote good adolescent health which we did with the "Think First" head and spinal cord injury prevention program in our city high schools. Our other programs such as "Our Role in Indigent Health Care" and "Heart Healthy Cooking" fit right in with the state theme. There is a detailed description of each meeting attached. RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MEDICAL SOCIETY: Our goal stated that we continue to work closely with the Medical Society to assist in their projects for Guilford County. The President of the auxiliary attends all Executive Committee meetings of the society and sends a representative to the general meetings. This year, a representative from the Medical Society Executive Committee began attending auxiliary board meetings. This gave them a new perspective on all that we do as an auxiliary. Supper on the Grounds (New Physicians' Party) was funded by the society with the auxiliary making the social arrangements. A softball game was held in June, 1990 as a joint effort with the Medical Society and Legal Society and their auxiliaries. The money raised from this ballgame was given to the Urban Ministry Indigent Care Clinic. The Executive Committee of the society has unanimously voted to allow the auxiliary to have some storage space in the new office. Also, some part-time secretarial help is being considered. National Doctors' Day will be celebrated on March 13 locally by honoring our physicians with box lunches, special breakfasts at each hospital, and red carnations to wear during the day . REACHING OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY: Another of our goals was to work with other agencies and organizations to better educate the public on such issues as illiteracy and indigent health care. Our volunteers were part of a Read-A-Thon organized by Community of Readers of Guilford County. The "Think First" project involved physical therapists from Moses Cone Hospital Reahabilitation Unit, Emergency Medical Services technicians, and volunteer head or
