Yesterday, chairman of the fundraising committee Mr. Andrew Soares said this was just the beginning of fundrasing efforts.

He said a gospel concert, danceathon, and walkathon were among the committee's plans.

The money will go towards improving services at the 12-bed facility for the terminally ill.

He said it could also go toward obtaining more beds, wheelchairs, and computers.

The committee has already raised $2,000 from a bake sale in August and it has secured about $8,000 for the purchase of a $14,000 van.

Mr. Soares said the group of five to 10 volunteers could use more help. Anyone wishing to help can contact hospice coordinator Mrs. Hillary Soares at 236-2345.
