TVRH HEARTS FOR OUR HOSPITAL GALA
As the many volunteers and TVRH Auxiliary Foundation Staff put the finishing touches on the 2018 Hearts for our Hospital Gala
some exciting details are emerging. Two of the live auction items have just been announced. Guests will have the chance to bid on a
private performance with Fernando Varela; they can also bid on the fifteen-seat Sharon Box at the Sharon L. Morse Performing Arts
Center for the upcoming production of a Chorus Line. The live auction will be conducted by veteran auctioneer Doug Sorrell.
“The Beat Goes On” is the theme of this year’s Gala which will be held at the Savannah center on Saturday, February 10. A silent
auction held during the cocktail hour will be an exciting part of the evening. “There is something for everyone at the silent auction,”
said Diane Kupchak, Gala Co-chair. “We have a great variety of items at all price levels.” In addition to hand crafted items, beauty
services, golf items, dining, trips and other experiences, there are family packages including Disney passes. The lottery tree was so
popular last year; they are adding a second tree this year.
New this year, guests will have the opportunity to go home with a keepsake photo. The high-tech photo booth will also allow guests
to instantly download the photos to share with friends and family to all forms of social media.
The Gala continues to be the premier black tie event in The Villages. Now in its twelfth year, the Gala is the largest annual fundraiser
for the Auxiliary Foundation. For more information, call the Auxiliary Foundation office at 352-751-8871.

Hospital Gala in February.
The Big Bike Weekend is a partnership between the Auxiliary
Foundation and the Sumter Landing Bicycle Club. The event is co-
chaired by SLBC members Pat and Lori Gillis and Dave Taylor, TVRH
Board Member. “We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the
2017 Big Bike Weekend,” said Pat Gillis. “This event is only possible
because of the gracious support of our sponsors, the hard work of
over hundred volunteers and the participants.” The Auxiliary
Foundation would like to extend a special thanks to Buffalo Crossing
and Harbor Chase for providing breakfast and lunch, respectively
for all of the riders.
Plans are already underway for the 2018 Big Bike Weekend.

FOUNDATION DINNER
Over one hundred guests attended The Villages® Regional
Hospital (TVRH) Auxiliary Foundation Dinner at the Rohan
Recreation Center. This annual event allows people interested in
the work of the Auxiliary Foundation to come together for dinner
and to hear the latest happenings and accomplishments of both
the Auxiliary Foundation and the hospital.
A highlight of the 2017 Foundation Dinner was the prize drawing
for a Viking River Cruise. Mitch and Monique Saunders were the
lucky winners.
Dick Campbell, President of TVRH Auxiliary Foundation provided
guests with an update on the Foundation. Over 2.6 million dollars
has been dedicated to The Villages® Regional Hospital. Room
Naming Sponsorship has increased resulting in more than four
million dollars in cash and pledges.
TVRH Administrative Director of Nursing, Susan Williams, and
Vice President of Auxiliary Membership and Patient Survey, Joan
Hanosek, shared an update on the renovations, expansion and
improvements in the hospital’s emergency room. In addition to
the expansion of 50 beds in 2016, the ER also now offers vertical
care for patients with non-critical health issues. Vertical care
is an area with recliners allowing patients to be treated while
leaving the beds for the more serious cases. Three open nursing
stations provide the opportunity for better team work.
