Greetings!
What a month!
June was an amazing time for everyone here at the Foundation. It seemed there was a special event every time we turned around and we were fortunate to meet with great success in all of our activities.
As you read this edition of Community Giving, we hope you will enjoy our news about the events that are making the Foundation's fundraising campaigns so successful. And we know it would all be for naught if we didn't have the support of wonderful sponsors, volunteers and donors like yourself.
All the best to you as you start your summer.
Sincerely, Dave Stell, Communications Specialist Rouge Valley Health System Foundation
