sored their annual formal dinner
and dance at the Manor Club

1t was a very large affair this
year, since the invitation list was
expanded to include members of
the Women's Board and of all
the various hospital auxiliaries
with their husbands. This was
one way for all those ladies who
work so hard for the hospital to
learn more about its total func-
tioning and to meet other people
associated with it.
The banquet was a most en-.
joyable event. especially appro-

National Hospital Week. Guest
speaker was Frederick McNa-
mara, past president of the
Maryland Delaware District of
Columbia Hospital Association.
On the same subject of our
hospital and the willing volun-
teers who do so much for it, the

Fashion Show a few months ago.

cial baby scale and measuring
device for the hospital nursery.

ais Gaithersburg Washington
Grove Auxiliary drew a large
group of hospital supporters
