Dear
Alumni members,
As
I write this newsletter I am astounded by the beauty of nature. It has been a
dull, dreary, and cold spring BUT summer is just bursting with color. Everything
is young, fresh and fragrant. I hope you all are enjoying the beauty of the lazy
days of summer. The board has been busy this year. We have approved a Cats Meow
replica of the old Hahnemann Hospital. The replicas will be available at the
banquet, and then by mail. We have added the finishing details to the banquet,
scholarships and the contents of the newsletter. We will honor the members of
the Class of 1955 on the occasion of their 50th Anniversary. Every
class celebrating an anniversary should try to get their classmates to join them
at the banquet. If you are unable to join us, just raise a glass and toast all
of the great nurses of the Worcester Hahnemann Hospital School of Nursing!!
Have a safe and healthy year,
Linda
Cats Meow Project
Above
is the photo that the project will resemble. It was taken from an old
Hahnemann Herald. The Cats Meow will be colorized, including the trees,
bricks, walkways and walls. If you are not familiar with the cats meows series
they are small wooden cutouts of a building or landmark that are painted. The
price is $15.00. Mail orders will be filled after the banquet. Used the
form below. PLEASE add $ 5.00 for shipping.

Letters
Dear Linda
May 26, 2005
I want to thank the Alumni for the scholarship that was awarded
to my granddaughter, Stefanie Andriski, in her sophomore year at Umass Amherst.
She graduated this past weekend with a B.S in Nursing. She has been accepted at
Brighan and Women's Hospital in Boston for extended training in O.R Nursing
for10 months, at that time she will receive a certificate as a registered Sugery
Nurse.
I think it is most gratifying to know that the scholarship
recipients have done well and we will always be grateful for those who have
helped them achieve their goals.
Sincerely, Sally D.
