WE DID IT. 💛

In April 2025, we made a commitment to fully fund a new X-ray machine for St. Marys Memorial Hospital. Today, less than a year later, we are proud to share that we have officially raised $650,000 and fulfilled that commitment in full. 👏

After recently announcing that we were just $15,000 away from our goal, an incredibly generous community donor contacted the Foundation and offered to contribute the remaining amount to help us cross the finish line. 🎉❤

This achievement reflects the strength, generosity, and shared commitment of our community. Reaching $650,000 in under a year is truly remarkable, and it speaks to how deeply our supporters value access to high-quality care close to home.

On behalf of the Foundation, thank you to every individual, family, and business who contributed to the X-ray. Your support ensures that patients of all ages will continue to receive diagnostic care when they need it most. 🏥💙

An absolute beauty of a photo from Lucid Musings Photo!

Fun fact: we reached out to Sean to feature one of his stunning images as the backdrop for our “Here For You Today, Building for Tomorrow” donor wall. This beautiful shot of the Trestle Bridge perfectly captures the heart of St. Marys.

Thank you, Sean, for so beautifully capturing the charm and beauty of our town!

Last evening just as the sun was setting for another day below the horizon, I waited for just the right moment, just the right exposure and kneeling in the snow captured this image. Winter in St. Marys, the frozen blues warmed by the rays of sun radiating off each strand of water going over the old mill dam. A moment of beauty to be embraced
❄️
Yesterday I made a big leap in the future of this business, A new chapter in the ever evolving face of Lucid Musings Photo. Keep an eye on my page for updates on developments. All I can say for now is, as it always has been for me, this next step is about this town, this community and doing my part to make it even better in my own little way.
❄️
For now, in anticipation, I ask everyone to feel free to share this picture. Show it off!! My gift to you for supporting me for so many years. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!✌❤
