During the week, the 4-H'ers had the opportunity to participate in many exciting activities. Participation in activities such as rock-hopping, cliff climbing, and zipping soon caused any homesickness to be forgotten. Swimming was a popular activity because of the hot weather, but hikes to Chief Shaw-waw-nas-see's grave still had very good attendance. There were recreation activities such as volleyball, miniature golf, and sport activities including riflery and archery. The craft building was a favorite spot with 4-H'ers interested in making craft items for themselves as well as for their family and friends. Shrink-art, sand candles, basket weaving, and leather goods were only a few of the craft products. Over in the Nature Cabin, 4- H'ers had the opportunity to observe the activities of some of the animals that live on the campgrounds. After the sun went down, the activities didn't slow down. Chief Shaw-waw-nas-see's return, the Council fire, and night hikes through the woods kept the 4-H'ers excited before they knew the day was over. Camp was both fun and a learning experience for the 4- H'ers who attended. When the bus pulled out on Friday their minds were still at camp and many of them were already thinking about going to camp next summer. 4-H Camp is sponsored by the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension service in McHenry county.

THE JOHN HOSES TRAVELERS -- Pictured aboard a cruise ship just before sailing from Port Everglades, Fla., on a seven-day holiday cruise are Mr. and Mrs. John Hose of McHenry. The cruise took them to San Juan St. Thomas, Santo Domingo, Port- Au-Prince, Haiti. Mrs. Vtcki Bolash, R.N. at McHenry hospital, and Mrs. John Kelsey, president of the auxiliary, examine a costly auxiliary gift to the hospital, this colonoscope which cost over $4,000. services under the direction of doctors or nurses; work in admissions, and staff the information desk. "We welcome additional volunteers to assist us in the work that must be done to aid patients and to assist on the many projects that produce income for the hospital," invited Mrs. Kelsey. In the fall, the McHenry hospital board of directors sponsors a recognition luncheon to honor the many volunteers whose hours of service are revealed amid appreciation and acclaim More than 100 women are recognized. The volunteer program is so extensive that a .full time volunteer director of the volunteer program is necessary. Mrs. Charles Spencer is the coordinator and director of volunteers, a position she has held or assisted for many years. Discuss the contributions of the auxiliary to McHenry hoispital on behalf of the hospital and its patients, and you learn quickly the intensity of the dedication and the scope of this aid. "Neither the volunteer work provided by the auxiliary members nor the many thousands of dollars raised over more than a decade is the more important," explains Mrs. John Kelsey, president of this volunteer group of women (plus one man who is a great asset to the effort). Mrs. Kelsey explains that money raised through benefits and the steady staffing of the hospital Snack Bar and Gift shop may make a visible impact through the way money can be used and is continually needed. For example, the auxiliary has just completed a $30,000 pledge to a new building fund. In addition, it has contributed money to buy over $42,250 worth of equipment for the hospital in the past decades. It has invested an additional $11,000 in scholarships for desiring to follow a i care career. That money is not repaid - except it is repaid a thousand-fold, says Mrs. Kelsey, in the satisfaction •cabers gain through the f to help people who sftinatehr enter dedication tenltti carnrrrfrssHim Most- recipients registered nurses in a Most recent use of funds for equipment includes $1,000 for Resusci-Anne, a lifelike dummy used for those learning heart massage and respiration; $4,000 for a colonoscope, and $2,227 for a defibrillator scope for the Trauma center. "One memorable gift of money was in 1971 when more than $15,000 was used during the year for a nursing coronary care monitoring unit, a hypothermia unit, a respirator unit, and equipment for the unit dos£ drug dispensing system," said Mrs. Kelsey. For many years volunteers staffed the Snack Bar and Gift shop. They still do all the work in the Gift shop on a volunteer basis, but service hours for the Snack Bar became so extensive and the workload so heavy that some employees were incorporated into this auxiliary-operated service facility. Auxiliary members conduct events on a volunteer basis as fund-functions and to provide w o r t h w h i l e c o m m u n i t y projects. Foremost are the fashion revue and the Country Art Fair. The auxiliary also plans a new project--Book Resale--Oct. 5. About seventy of the auxiliary members are active on a regular basis to help provide major services within the hospital, services that would require the hospital to hire people if the Pink Ladies were not available. Volunteers staff the Emergency room accident- information desk; take patients to X-ray, laboratory and other All new-born babies are placed under (Ms mobile Infant warmer In the nursery at McHenry hospital. This equipment is a gift of the auxiliary, a $1,000 investment last year to help the new-born to a healthy start in life. Mrs. John Kelsey, left, auxiliary president, and Mrs. Jean Weber, nurse technician, are in the nursery. 8taee 1SS4 the auxiliary to McHenry hospital has been encouraging people to enter the health care field with no-strings-attached scholarships.
