To the Editor:
    Each August the dedicated women of the Morgan Memorial Hospital Auxiliary work tirelessly to host the Festival of Friends to raise needed funds for the hospital, and this year is no exception. 
    The Ninth Annual Festival of Friends will begin at 6:00 p.m. on August 15 at the James Madison Conference Inn with a silent auction and cocktail party.  This event will be followed by nine spectacular dinners at separate venues at 8:00 p.m.
    Since its inception, the auxiliary has raised over a quarter of a million dollars to provide needed equipment for the hospital.  This year, we are looking forward to being able to fund a designated area in the new hospital that will better serve the healthcare needs of the citizens of Morgan County.
    If you have not yet made your dinner reservation, please call 706.752.1017 for further information.  This is always a fun-filled event in which every dollar raised goes to our hospital.  We hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Nancy Vaughan,
President
Morgan Memorial
Hospital Auxiliary
