Hard at Work
Dana Housley, Volunteer Coordinator, St. Bernards Development Foundation Spring is such an amazing time of year here at the Foundation. Our volunteers are working on events, taking care of patients and their families, supporting the work of our Medical Center, Senior Center, the Village and the Hospice House.

St. Bernards Advocates', Triple Swing will be June 26, 27 & 28. These dedicated volunteers are hard at work planning the area's premiere event full of fun and challenges. Our theme this year is based on the favorite board game Monopoly.

The dinner dance on Saturday is shaping up to be a very special event, unlike any we've seen before. Dancing to the "git your feet movin' sounds" of Party Planet, featuring Kool & The Gang lead singer, Al Paris. Watch their video. Sunday's Tennis matches are filling and we'll soon complete our few remaining teams for Monday's annual golf tournament. Hurry and purchase tickets and sign up your team before we sell out!
