The 78th Annual Mistletoe Ball<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They\u2019re rolling out the red carpet\u2014literally\u2014at the Wayne Memorial Hospital Auxiliary\u2019s annual Mistletoe Ball. The theme for the January 19th event at Silver Birches in Tafton will be A Night at the Oscars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCome experience old and new Hollywood,\u201d says co-chair Nancy Moro, \u201cdress like one of your favorite stars, and maybe you\u2019ll win a prize.\u201d Moro, who is considering going as Marilyn Monroe, notes that the evening is fun and meaningful. It\u2019s the auxiliary\u2019s biggest fundraiser of the year to help its community hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe proceeds this year will go towards a fund to purchase the resources\u2014such as equipment and information systems– needed to recruit physicians and other medical talent. We\u2019re building a state-of-the-art patient tower, and we want to assure it\u2019s equipped and staffed as well as possible.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mistletoe Ball will feature live music and dancing with disc jockey Jumping Jeff Walker from WKRZ and a \u201cfabulous basket raffle\u201d with donations from many local vendors, including Apple Day Spa, Black & Brass Coffee, Rustic Farmworks, Wallenpaupack Brewing, VIP Kids Club and Wayne County Ford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With more than 200 members, the Wayne Memorial Hospital Auxiliary is one of the strongest in the state of Pennsylvania. Anyone can join, says Mistletoe co-chair Danielle Hedgelon. \u201cCome to the Mistletoe Ball and find out how much fun we can be while helping our community hospital at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
