The South Bruce Grey Health Centre - Kincardine hospital auxiliary held its annual meeting Wednesday morning, Feb. 25, at the Kincardine hospital. Sixteen members and two guests braved the blustery, extremely cold weather to attend.
President Ginny Ross had just returned from a spring-like getaway to British Columbia and was trying to recover from jet-lag and the major difference in weather.
The annual reports for 2014 were prepared and approved. The auxiliary has a great team of conveners looking after the various committees and appreciation to that group for providing excellent summaries of the previous year. Thanks to the treasurers, also, for the detailed accounts of the financial status.
