amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always
just exactly fits the newspaper.

Hospice Christmas Auction
The annual hospice auction was held in November and raised over $8,000 towards the purchase of a pressure mattress.
We had a great turn out, and a wonderful selection of auction items generously donated by the local businesses in the Comox Valley. Without the support of everyone involved we would not have been able to raise these much needed funds.
