PLYMOUTH â The Plymouth Eagles Lodge 1900 is hard at work contributing to the yearâs state project â raising enough money to buy an ambulance for Riley Hospital for Children.
Since the clubâs fiscal year began in June, it has raised $1,800, which is more than half its goal contribution of $3,000. All of the Eagles clubs in Indiana will raise money for a $250,000 ambulance. Itâs worth the high price tag, however, according to Plymouth Eagles secretary and president of District 4, Brandon VanVactor, who says the ambulance is equipped for surgery mid-transport.

When CollegeChoice CD called the Plymouth resident to tell her sheâd won tickets, they learned she had knitted or crocheted 11 scarves for the Super Bowl XLVI Super Scarves Project.

The largest employer in Marshall County is now also a health care provider for its many employees, and Culver Academies Human Resources Director Diane Avery couldnât be happier.
Avery says the genesis of the idea began two years ago, when she read an article about medical practice coming full circle and the rebirth of a popular trend in the 1960s for large organizations to host onsite health clinics for their staff. With todayâs rising health care costs, she says, institutions such as the Academies are seeking ways to keep those costs down.
