In addition to the gift shop and snack bar, the auxiliary also conducts bake sales and has an annual luncheon and fashion show. Money from these events goes for nursing scholarships. They have a very good working relationship with the various hospital departments. Right now they're working on a 'Survivor' theme party. Mercer added that auxiliary members get along well with each other.
Nobody tries to take the spotlight.
This is the most cooperative group of people I've ever worked with. While many members are of retirement age, membership in the Mt. Carmel Auxiliary is open to all men and women from high school senior or college age on up. Anyone interested in joining the auxiliary may call 232-0248 to get additional information and an application form.
