We’re looking forward to sharing some of the professional photos from Sunday’s Fashion Show, but first, we wanted to share some from last week’s Annual Dinner and Scholarship Presentation, held at Ferris Hills at West Lake. Our members presented $40,000 to the F.F. Thompson Foundation to support the health system and awarded five area high school seniors with scholarships of $2,000 each as they prepare to pursue careers in healthcare. Grace Davis of Canandaigua Academy received the Gail D. O’Brien Memorial Scholarship, Johnathon Finewood of Midlakes High School received the Phyllis Ehman Memorial Scholarship, Jude Rischpater of Naples High School received the Theresa Tremblay Memorial Scholarship, Sean Spezzano of Livonia High School received the Russell and Deborah Kimble Memorial Scholarship, and Hailey Trank of Penn Yan Academy received the Gerry North Memorial Scholarship. Grace is headed to RIT, Johnathan will be attending SUNY Cortland, Jude is enrolled at Dickinson College, Sean will be at Miami University, and Hailey will be a student at Nazareth University. Congratulations to all!

Listen to Bob Green on the baby grand during the mixer, where guests can learn more about the Guild and even consider joining. No RSVP is needed, and you can feel free to bring a friend!

Have your heard? Our gift shop kiosk in the hospital's Constellation Center for Health and Healing now has a selection of printed scrub tops. There is something for everyone and these tops - from a variety of manufacturers - are a big hit! Last week, for example, several members of the Environmental Services team purchased scrubs with hearts for Valentine's Day. We love how much fun they had doing a little modeling shoot to show off their new tops and help us spread the word. Talk about a team that has heart!

Congratulations to Thompson and to all of this year's award recipients!

On this, the 38th annual observation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a national holiday, we pay homage to the life and legacy of a man whose profound impact on the civil rights movement and the path of nonviolent resistance remain a powerful reminder of the difference one person can make. Had he lived, today would have been his 95th birthday. As President Ronald Reagan said when he signed the law creating the national holiday, “America is a more democratic nation, a more just nation, a more peaceful nation because Martin Luther King Jr. became her pre-eminent non-violent commander.”
