It was presented to Memorial Hospital for McHenry County this past week by Mrs. William Frame, right, president of the woman's auxiliary. Receiving latest donation from the*" auxiliary were Jack Byers, left, board president, and Raymond Gathman, treasurer. Gift boosts total amount given the county-wide hospital by the auxiliary to $242,000. The latest gift from the woman's auxiliary to Memorial Hospital for McHenry County will serve a two-fold use. Mrs. William Frame, auxiliary president, made the presentation of a $25,000 check to Ray Gathman,. board treasurer, last week. This gift boosts the total amount given Memorial Hospital by the hardworking women to $242,000. The money will be used first to reduce the debt owed by the hospital on its 1962 construction. Secondly, the auxiliary has requested that when any further expansion takes place the board of directors will include added space to help the woman's auxiliary carry out its many services in the hospital. Expansion of the snack bar and gift shop area is a possibility. A patient's library and an office for the volunteer workers to administer their work at the hospital may be necessary. Bert Hanson, administrator for the county-wide hospital, reported another reason why this fiftieth anniversary year is a big milestone. Sale of the property given the hospital by Mr. and Mrs. Chester Gould in 1961, combined With the money received from the woman's auxiliary, has made it possible for the board of directors to slash the indebtedness to half what was reported at the annual meeting in mid-January.
