Weisbrod Hospital Auxiliary meeting notes
Ladies of the Weisbrod Hospital Auxiliary met September 11 for their monthly meeting and lunch. Alice Glover presided over the meeting where Doris Lessenden read the minutes and Loretta Seibel gave the Treasurer’s Report. The donation to the Auxiliary in memory of George Temple from a local lady is very much appreciated. A reminder to families and friends: when $100 is given in memory of a person, their name will be engraved on gold plate and mounted on the large wall plaque in the hospital entryway.

Colorado’s agricultural landscapes provide the perfect subject for photographers. It’s once again time to capture the “spirit” of Colorado agriculture through pictures. The 21st annual “Colorado…it’s AgriCultural” photography contest is seeking entries as a way to celebrate the state’s agricultural heritage.
