Auxiliary notes Members of the auxiliary to Wingham and District Hospital enjoyed a tour of the hospital as part of their September meeting. Bill Woodley, director of nursing and Nancy Brown, supervisor at the lab department conducted the tour. Members were shown where operations are performed and services such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech pathology are carried out. Along with the X-ray, lab and pharmacy departments all the departments which contribute to patient care, from supplying clean bed linen to dietary needs, were covered. Past president, Mary Lou Cameron, president, Marlene Leedham and secretary Diane Doolittle attended the Seaforth Fall Conference held Sept. 27. The CEO from Seaforth Community Hospital spoke on the social contract while the guest speaker spoke of her experiences with health care in China and Russia. Three workshops were held. Upcoming events include the rummage sale to be held Thursday, Oct. 14 from 5 to 8 p.m. and Friday, Oct. 15 from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Armouries. Donations are welcome Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For pick-up in Wingham call 357-2846. Proceeds from the rummage sale go towards auxiliary projects. Hospital bridge begins in November. New players are needed. If you wish to play call Ruth Currie at 357-1482. The auxiliary awards will be presented at the F.E. Madill commencement to two students who have entered the nursing field. Currently there are 23 teen volunteers for which the auxiliary will be purchasing badges. The next meeting will be held Nov. 22. Mr. Tim Sullivan, social worker at the hospital will be the speaker. Outstanding food, great entertainment, dazzling company, and your own piece of original Canadian art work! That's what you will get when you attend 3 x 3 in '93 - miniature art draw and auction to be held at Blyth Memorial Hall and the Bainton Gallery on Nov. 6. Volunteers co-ordinator Marian Doucette, believes the fund raising event is a first for this area and perhaps for the province. "I got the idea for the project from another volunteer board member at a national theatre conference in Edmonton six years ago. It sounded like the perfect fund raiser for the Festival, especially with our wonderful gallery space and long history of involvement with visual art and I just waited for the right time to try it." With the Festival approaching its 20th Anniversary in 1993-'94 the event will start off a year of celebrations for the theatre. Over 115 pieces of 3" x 3" miniature art have been donated by artists from across the province and beyond. "I can't tell you how exciting it has been for our committee and staff as each piece has arrived here at the office" said Development Co-ordinator, Lynda Lentz. "Many artists were particularly pleased that their art work would be on exhibition in th Bainton Gallery for the two weeks preceding the art draw." The miniatures represent a broad range of media, from an exquisite porcelain vase to a delicate paper and wire web to an intriguing mix of photography and water colour and a miniature native wood carving. While some artists represented in the exhibition live as far away as Edmonton and Vancouver Island, they are primarily from this region of Ontario. Many artists expressed their delight at being asked to donate a piece of work to the event and congratulated the committee on the unique idea. "There are equal elements of mystery and excitement around the event," Ms Doucette said. "Everyone's very curious to see The Blyth Angel by Robert Carmichael, creator of the loon on the back of our 'loonies.' And I think people will be intrigued to see what artists like Margaret Atwood and James Reaney have submitted because we tend to associate them primarily with their writing." The real excitement will come on the evening of Nov. 6 when ticket holders will get to choose their own piece of original artwork as their name is drawn from the hat. To ease the suspense, the gala event will also feature complimentary gourmet delights from a number of the Festival's outstanding volunteer cooks, accompanied by wine from the Pelee Island Vineyards. Interesting background music for the evening will be provided by the The Bartlett Duo, violin and cello performers from Fergus. Even if you are in Halifax or Fiji you can still have your choice when your name is drawn. Organizers of 3 x 3 in '93 are including a proxy page in the exhibition catalogue that will be available to every ticket buyer. Your choices will be honoured by the designated proxy holder at the event. 3 x 3 in '93 promises to be an exciting evening with many surprises. a single ticket for the event, including original artwork and refreshments, is $93. One additional guest ticket for $7 allows the person to enjoy the evening's refreshments and entertainment but does not make them eligible for the art draw. The exhibition will open at 7 p.m., with the draw beginning at 8 p.m. Tickets may be ordered through the Festival Box Office at 523-9300 during business hours, Monday - Friday.
