Happy Tuesday! We have been approved !

As mentioned in previous posts, the Auxiliary got its start on Dec. 3rd, 1955, prior to the opening of Massac Memorial Hospital in 1956.

The Auxiliary originally was the Ladies Auxiliary, but eventually the board voted to drop Ladies from the name so anybody could become a member. Dues started out at just $2 per year and now are only $5 for a year!

When it was formed, it was never set up as a not-for-profit organization. So for close to 70 years, the Auxiliary has given money to numerous hospital departments to make purchases and since establishing the scholarship program, has awarded thousands of dollars to high school seniors majoring in a healthcare field, but it was never an officially recognized organization, at least not by the state.

Earlier this year the board decided to move forward with becoming an official not-for-profit . We have been assisted by Attorney Richard Kruger and we are grateful for his help and guidance !

As of this morning, in an email from Richard:

โ€œThe Illinois Secretary of State application for the Massac Memorial Hospital Auxiliary to be an Illinois not-for-profit corporation has been approved.โ€

๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰ ๐ŸŽˆ ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

Richard is now working on the first meeting of members and the first meeting of the board of directors. He is also preparing by-laws, which will be unique to the Auxiliary and will relate to meetings, the board of directors, the officers, the fiscal year, and all other matters that are required by law.

A huge thank you you to Richard for helping the Auxiliary with this!
