Upland Hills Health Auxiliary enjoys Overture Concert excursion

On May 4th the Upland Hills Health Auxiliary members were bound for Madison where they enjoyed an Overture Center concert. Upon their return to Dodgeville, the volunteers were treated to a free “thank you” lunch at the Upland Hills Health Center Café.

“This field trip is just one of the fun ways we like to show the volunteers our appreciation,” explained Erin Groshek the hospital’s volunteer coordinator.

The auxiliary members were treated to a musical performance “The King of Instruments Meets the Instruments of Angels” featuring the Overture Concert Organ played by Samuel Hutchinson and harp played by Mary Ann Harr. This classical music was followed by the whimsical antics of a juggler called the Truly Remarkable Loon and a western music duet—KG and the Ranger.

Keeping with the western theme set by KG and the Ranger, the group finished the excursion with a barbecue sandwich lunch at the hospital café.

Awards were presented to volunteers for their many hours of service. Upland Hills Health enjoys a team of over 50 volunteers that put in over 4400 hours in 2005,doing everything from managing the gift shop to assisting with the comfort of patients.
