The next major fundraiser for essential equipment at the hospital will be Friday, March 15 at Longstocking Brewery, Oaklands, Pambula between 5pm-8pm with woodfired pizzas and drinks provided at set prices as well as live entertainment. 

In relation to the South Eastern UHA Zone Day it has been confirmed that the Wharf Restaurant in Merimbula will be the venue on Monday, April 8 with the anticipation of large numbers of auxiliaries attending.

Further communication with Kelly Jurd, nurse manager at Pambula Hospital has continued with the auxiliary over the finalisation of the next wish list on future equipment purchases for the hospital.

The push for community and business involvement continues and there has been a generous individual donation to the auxiliary from M Crowther and the current New Year raffle has been extended to April 24 with further contributions from Coffee 22 and the Pambula Milk Bar/Takeaway.  

Meanwhile the Foodworks community tin and the Friday evening meat raffles at the Royal Willows Hotel in Pambula prove to be a successful generator of funds towards important equipment for both patients and staff at the hospital.

The next auxiliary meeting is Wednesday, February 27 at at 10am in the hospital meeting room. New members are always welcome. Contact Shirley Rixon, president of PDHA, on 0456 196 891 for further details.

As a result of the auxiliaries fundraising activities the United Hospital Auxiliary (UHA) NSW Head Office is preparing an article for publication in their statewide newsletter.
