This year the Happiness Committee is working with the volunteer East County Foster Parents Association. They have expressed specific needs for foster teens for backpacks and pajamas. Again this year each $50 pledge will provide for those needs for an East County foster teen.

 

To make a pledge(s), please email Lesley Bradley at lesley.bradley@sharp.com or call 619-740-4145. Checks can be made payable to the SGH Medical Staff.

 

This year the Happiness Committee will make the presentation of the gifts at the General Medical Staff Meeting on Wednesday, September 19 (5:30 pm hors d'oeuvres and 6 pm program). Please mark your calendar for this very special meeting featuring speaker Erin Gruwell from Freedom Writers Foundation.     www.freedomwritersfoundation.org   Spouses are welcome!
