Summary

The Medical Auxiliary announced free-will luncheon fundraisers for June 26, July 17, and August 21, 1979.

Evidence and limits

The notice announces the dates; it does not establish that every luncheon took place or provide proceeds, attendance, or a complete event program.

  3. Reports that three summer luncheons netted $520.00, that approximately $200 was spent on three Medical Center equipment items, that the Auxiliary agreed to pay half of a $1,000 hospital bed, and that a March of Dimes donation supplied a fetal monitor and bassinet. These are newspaper-reported figures and deliveries, not audited accounts or equipment inventories.
