Continued from cover with a horse, and through painting, could creatively express their feelings through this living art project. The horses stood so patiently while the children painted some of them from nose to tail! Diane facilitated the childrens grief work by spending time with each of them as they painted. When their projects were completed they were able to parade the horses for the rest of the group to admire. New to camp this year was Melanie Lohwater, OTR-L who is a licensed Occupational Therapist from Personalized Therapy, LLC. Melanie spent time with the children teaching them positive coping and stress management skills. Melanie taught the kids how to use these skills when they find themselves angry at the loss of their loved one. Another special surprise was the Double Deuce! Paul Collona (father of Tara Wood our Assistant Director) drove his tanker to Sotterley and

sprayed the kidsand some of us! The kids had a blast slipping and sliding on the 70 feet of plastic that Paul set up. The cold water was much appreciated on a 90 degree day! Camp concluded with a special butterfly release. The children launched beautiful monarch butterflies in memory of their loved ones. We almost had to let the butterflies go in the barn as a huge storm blew through right before the release. Just as families were arriving to participate in the release the rain stopped and the sun came out. Many tears were shed by all that participated in this moving ceremony. I would be remiss if I didnt say a special thank you to the Tall Timbers Optimist Club. They raised $5000 at their Spring Dinner/ Dance and donated it all to support bereavement care of children. Camp Sunrise would not have been the quality experience it was if not for the support of the Optimists.

Our Mission
The mission of Hospice of St. Marys is to provide physical, emotional and spiritual support to terminally ill patients and their families and bereavement care to those families and the community.

Fountain and Bench Donated to Hospice House

Memorial Brick Campaign

A
The poignant theme of sailing away is captured by the peaceful fountain in the front circle of the Hospice House. The fountain and plantings were made possible through a generous donation from Phil and Judy Christie in honor of and in memory of their parents. The teak bench was donated by St. Marys Hospital nurses and provides a quiet place for patients and families to enjoy the surroundings.

recent memorial will soon be seen as an herb garden on the front lawn of the Hospice House. Leading to the garden will be a lovely brick walkway. Plans are underway to launch a Memorial Brick Paver campaign where personalized bricks will be available as a memorial for a loved one for a donation to Hospice. Purchase of a brick will enable both the donor to honor a loved one and Hospice House to provide continued excellent care to our patients. Specific information will be available in the next edition of this newsletter.

News From the Volunteer Office

By Katy Crowell, Volunteer Coordinator Many Thank Yous to Our Wonderful Volunteers!
Spring has been a very busy time for Hospice of St. Marys with many fund raising events, and these events wouldnt be the success that they were without the support of our wonderful volunteers! Our 16th Annual Run and Fun Walk for Hospice was held on April 16th, and the volunteers came out in full force to ensure that we had another successful event. We had more volunteer course marshals who were along the route working with our local Sheriffs Deputies, and we had a lot of positive feedback from the extra folks directing the runners and walkers. We are always looking for ways to improve, so if you have any feedback, we would love to hear from you. Our world famous brunch provided a wonderful variety of great food, which was donated/purchased from many of our local stores and restaurants. Special thanks to Janet Padgett and Anne and John Richards for all their help, along with the many other volunteers that helped them with the brunch. The race would not be the success it is without Jim Dicus, Jamie Thomas, Jeff Thomas, Brian Buker and Mike Dailey. These men have worked this event for the past 16 years, and are the reason it is as successful as it is! The Spring Fling was held on May 1 in Leonardtown, and once again the volunteers came out in force to help solicit donations from people attending the event. It was a picture perfect day, and the crowds were very generous in supporting Hospice with their donations. May 7 was the Kentucky Derby Party at Sotterley, and without the help of all the wonderful volunteers who put in countless hours preparing for this day, our event wouldnt continue to grow and become the event of the spring in St. Marys County! It was a beautiful day, and a great time was had by all. The Rockfish Tournament was held on May 14th another beautiful day in St. Marys County, and the fisherman came out and helped raise more money for Hospice. Special thanks to our volunteers who were the witnesses to the weighing of the fish as they came in.

anxious to get started volunteering at Hospice. They are interested in patient care, cooking, helping in the office and some fund raising work. I look forward to working with each of you very soon!!! Check out their graduation pictures in this newsletter, and be sure to welcome them next time you see one of them. More classes will be held in the August/September timeframe. If you know of anyone who might be interested in volunteering at Hospice, or would like more information, please have them contact me at 301-994-3075 or mary_crowell@smhwecare.com

Volunteer Recognition
We are going to do things a bit differently this year. Instead of the luncheon that has been typically held in May, we are going to have an Open House in November, during National Hospice Month, so that we can have a more social gathering and allow the volunteers and staff to mingle a bit more. Date and location will be announced very soon!

Cooks Needed for the Hospice House

I am going to start another recruitment effort for volunteer cooks at the Hospice House we have had some attrition and our staff would be so grateful to get more volunteers to fill in many of the gaps on our schedule. If you think you might be interested, or would like more information, please contact me. We can talk about what is involved, and you could also have the opportunity to shadow one of our volunteer cooks to find out if this is something that you would like to pursue.

Volunteer Waterers
Thanks to all the volunteers who have been so kind to come and water our grounds and help to keep our plantings alive! It looks like we are going to have another hot summer, so the time that these kind people have been putting in is so appreciated! Many of the Master Gardeners in St. Marys County have also contributed their expertise and time to help make the Hospice House grounds look so pretty. Thanks to all of you!!!!

Hospice Cookbook
Our cookbook is in full swing we have received many delicious recipes that are being typed for the upcoming cookbook! If you have any recipes that you would like to share, please send them to me either by email at mary_ crowell@smhwecare.com or put them in the mail to me at Katy Crowell, Volunteer Coordinator, Hospice of St. Marys, P.O. Box 625, Leonardtown, MD 20650. It is our goal to have the cookbook off the presses for holiday gift giving!

Many thanks to all the Master Gardeners who work so hard to make our grounds beautiful for patients and their families.

Added Comfort at the Hospice House

The Hospice House now has a beautiful pergola on the back deck providing some shade for patients and families. The pergola was made possible through generous donations from St. Marys Garden Club, St. Marys Hospital Nursing Staff, and from contributions made In Loving Memory of Patricia and Bill Sloat.

16th Annual Run and Fun Walk for Hospice

n April 16, 2011 the 16th Annual Run and Fun Walk for Hospice was held in Historic Leonardtown, Maryland. The usually large crowd was a bit smaller this year due to the forecasted inclement weather, but a hearty group of runners and walkers turned out to support this signature hospice fundraiser and, luckily, the rain held off until after the start of the run/fun walk. After the event, participants feasted on the fabulous buffet brunch that makes this run/fun walk so unique while the winners of the 5K and 10K runs received their medals. Hospice of St. Marys would like to thank all of the local businesses and contractors who support this event each year. We would also like to thank the town of Leonardtown for being such an outstanding host location for the Run and Fun Walk for Hospice. Finally, we would like to thank each of the participants, and their supporters, who showed up to run and walk and to raise money in support of hospice services. Plans have already begun for next years Run and Fun Walk for Hospice. Be sure to save the date of April 14, 2012. We look forward to seeing you at the 17th Annual Run and Fun Walk for Hospice.

Hospice of St. Marys wishes to extend a heartfelt thank-you to two wonderful individuals for their generous donations in honor of their loved ones:
Ms. Anne M. Margolis, sister of Jerome McCabe, donated $5,000 to Hospice to specifically go towards the continuing education for Hospice staff. Mrs. Maureen Owens, sister of John Joseph Riley, donated $5,000 to the Hospice House for the purchase of two needed electric lifts for our patients. Mrs. Owens also wishes that any remaining funds be spent on a scanner, camera, and even a coffee/tea maker for the Hospice House. Again, many thanks to all for your support!
