Alumnae President's Letter
The Alumnae Association of the St. Luke’s Hospital
School of Nursing
Annual Meeting of the Membership
May 1, 2010
President’s Report
The past 12 months have flown by at
lightning speed. However, the sounds and sights of Homecoming remain
in my mind.
Our “Homecoming Bulletin” recapped all the excitement, laughter and
tears of that special day. Special thanks to Peg Fox and Lee Carr.
It was their dedication that brought the bulletin to life to share
the experience with all Alumnae, whether they were there or not. You
can still continue to view our memories on the SHLSON website (slhson.org)
and if you need souvenirs, all the information is there. Could we
have had a better Homecoming? Only if we added those unable to
attend.
Other events for 2009-2010 included our Memorial Service held
October 17, 2009. The Rev. Lynne Dawson McQuade ’62 officiated with
a memorable service for those attending. At the time the Chapel was
dark and sad-looking. We wondered if we would ever see it returned
to it’s glory.
Well it has been, so to speak. In December just two short months
later, we attended an Inter-Faith Holiday Service held in the
Chapel. It was bright and inviting. There was a special dedication
for the re-hanging of “The Three Marys” positioned above the organ
area. A special brochure has been published extolling the special
artworks of the Chapel at St. Luke’s Hospital. The Board of
Directors voted to donate another $1,000 toward the upkeep of the
Chapel. If you are in the city, please stop by and inspect what has
been accomplished.
We celebrated the Holidays at our Annual Christmas Tea. I was unable
to be present but our ever supportive Vice-President, Lee Carr,
chaired the meeting. The proposed 2010 Budget was presented and a
new miscellaneous line item for $20,000 for inclusion under
Benevolent Fund expenses was voted on and approved at the meeting.
These Benevolent funds will be available for distribution to
organizations consistent with our not-for-profit status.
The meeting was attended by the new Chaplain at St. Luke’s Hospital,
Rev. Florine Thompson and an invitation was extended to Rev.
Thompson to officiate at the 2010 Memorial Service as well. Many of
the members in attendance were able to attend the Homecoming earlier
in the year and the meeting ended with a round of applause and
accolades to the Association for such a wonderful and memorable
event.
Board meetings have been trimmed slightly but our mission continues
as we work on plans and a timeline for dissolution of the
Association. The 2010 Budget was approved at the meeting and we see
no expenditures outside of our normal interests.
The Financial Aid Committee will continue to receive and review all
aid requests. The Board will attend to suggestions for donations
within our tax exempt status. Our accountant keeps us on our toes so
we are legal. If financial bequests do not expend monies earned on
our accounts, we are taxed on these earnings. To that end, the Board
agreed that these monies be donated to Nurses House and the amount
donated last year was $10,894.
Your continue interest in the Association makes it difficult to
explain the necessity of dissolving the organization. Please, be
assured that with modern technology and our Nursing School ties, we
will continue communicating. Last year’s Homecoming brought so many
of us together. The Class Coordinators now have updated lists, as
does the Alumnae Association and we have an active and updated
website. We have the Foundation NYS Nurses – home to our archives
and memorabilia. We will always have our memories of St. Luke’s.
I will always remember the privilege you have awarded me as
President. It is an honor to know and represent you – special,
devoted, caring and amazing women.
My wishes for your happiness and health.
Respectfully submitted,
Joanne B. Vecchione ‘65
President |
