Taste of the Foothills & 12th Annual Cash & Caring Raffle

Our March 31st event under the beautiful sky was another huge success. Thanks to the work of the committee, the volunteers and all our supporters, we again had wonderful food and beverages, the great band AFFINITY, terrific live and silent auction items, a tall wine tower, and a lovely venue to celebrate Foothills Caring Corps. As one of our two major fundraisers, we were able to net $89,510.

Thank you to our supporters with the “ASK” and our Auctioneer, our MC and the President of the Board. The 2016 Humanitarian tribute was given to David Schwan by last year’s Humanitarian Dick Segil.

A Helpful Message from a Neighbor

May I recommend before l e a v i n g f o r y o u r n e x t d o c t o r ’ s a p p o i n t m e n t , please call to confirm. I had an experience that I offer to help my fellow neighbor’s and volunteer drivers.

After receiving a reminder call the day before, my driver and I showed up early the day of the appointment. After a long wait I asked how much longer it would be and was told it wouldn’t be much longer. I was called back 45 minutes later.

My doctor apologized for the wait indicating my appointment had been cancelled because I didn’t respond to the reminder message that was left.

To keep everyone happy, remember to call your doctor back to confirm!
