At this time, I am moved to reflect on how your generous gifts to the Memorial Hospital Foundation-Bowmanville have helped our community create and sustain a vision of health, of caring and compassion. We thank you for your continued support, which is appreciated by the Foundation and the Hospital physicians and staff but more importantly by the patients and families who directly benefit from your generosity. Without a loyal team of compassionate supporters, volunteers and committed and caring staff... our mission to raise funds for the medical equipment needed to provide quality care at the Bowmanville hospital would not be possible. From all of us our sincerest wish for a safe and happy holiday season. May 2006 bring good health and happiness to you and yours. *\ , Denis Beaulieu X Foundation Board - Chair "a,.. -, _ . \æ^iu..s ,a ,w \u
