On Thursday, September 10, 2026, NMC’s Auxiliary members met for the first of four meetings for their business year.
The group heard from guest speaker Kelly Wakefield, a Master Gardener who beautifies the grounds at NMC and many other community locations. The meeting was attended by 43 community members, and the group welcomed a new member at the gathering.
NMC’s Auxiliary members meet four times a year and each meeting features a speaker followed by the business portion of the meeting. During this month’s meeting, Auxiliary President Maris Rock and the Auxiliary Board Chairs reported on the various areas of responsibility for the Auxiliary, including review of the organization’s finances.
More About the Auxiliary
The Auxiliary’s Mission is to support NMC through fund-raising and positive community relations. The NMC Auxiliary was formed by and for people who have a common commitment to the goals of the hospital and a concern for the health of our community.
The Auxiliary’s largest ongoing fundraising source is the NMC Gift Gallery, which is open to the public five days a week. The gift gallery features a variety of gift items like: women’s clothing and accessories, baby items, toys, games, books, decorations (seasonal and everyday), cards, chocolate, flowers, and much more. Please stop in and patronize the shop!
The Auxiliary membership gathers in September, November, February and April. At the meetings, attendees enjoy a meal and a featured guest speaker, which is followed by a business meeting.
New members are always welcome. Please contact the Auxiliary/Volunteer office at Northwestern Medical Center at 524-1055 if you are interested in learning more or becoming a member.
