PLYMOUTH — For most it is a strange sight to see. Literally hundreds of children, lined up down the block from an elementary school hoping to get a shot.
That was the unlikely scene at Washington School in Plymouth last night as The Marshall County Health Department held its first H1N1 flu shot clinic. In spite of the large numbers that turned out and the trickle of vaccine into the county, the department didn’t have to turn anyone away. Everyone who came received an inoculation.

Volunteers: Expecting no recognition E-mail

PLYMOUTH — It was a night that would have been thrilling to anyone. To those who give expecting no recognition it was even more thrilling.
“We’re thrilled, it’s such an honor,” said Dixie Lawrence, President of the Hospital Auxiliary of St. Joseph Regional Medical Center. “We give so much to the community but recognizing what we give is particularly special.”

St. Joseph Regional Medical Center honored the volunteers of the Hospital Auxiliary in a very special way at this year’s gala to raise money for the St. Joseph Health Center. Many volunteers were honored for their selfless service to further the hospital’s mission.
The members of the auxiliary never expected the honor when they became involved.
“I think people want to feel needed,” said Lawrence. “People want to feel productive, like they’re doing something. To be honest with you there is nothing like that feeling you get in your heart by helping someone, whether it’s a smile, words, pat on the back or a hug.”
Many members of the auxiliary received that hug from the hospital Friday night as they came forward to accept awards for their service over the years. Robyn Hammonds, Alice Ruiz, Juanita Uhlig, Jack Stapleton, Elaine Hansen, Mary Grossman and Mildred Phillips all received a thank you for their time and support.
“People get involved because they need to care, we care about our community,” said Lawrence. “To be honest we have something for everyone who would like to be involved. Tell us what your skills are. We’d love to find something for you.”
Opportunities are available to anyone wishing to give of themselves. Lawrence and the Hospital Auxiliary would love to hear from you.
“All the forms are at the front desk at the gift shop (at St. Joe Regional Medical Center).” said Lawrence. “They can call me at 574-935-5332. I would be delighted to answer any questions that they have.”
