All usable items will be accepted except books, clothing and furniture (unless considered antique). Unfortunately, computer equipment not working or more than 4 years old also cannot be accepted. Time to clean out those garages and let us help you dispose of those items that need a new home. Phone 449-9927 for pickup. This has been a fun event for everyone and we look forward to seeing you at the auction!

HERITAGE GUILD HAPPENINGS

They have volunteered to be co-chairs for this year. Joe Bishop, Vanna Born, Bill Junk, Anna Siig and Jim Winnick also volunteered to serve on this committee.

Makes Appeal for Easter at Arroyo Sanatorium

Easter at Arroyo Sanatorium, where 150 patients, 35 of whom are mere children, are making their brave way back to health, will mean only what the people of Alameda county wish it to be to them. Out at the County infirmary, near San Leandro, 750 men and women are waiting the religious ceremonial day with a bit of misgiving. The Alameda County Hospital Association is once more sponsoring the happiness of this band of citizens whose health and poverty have separated them from their fellows. An Easter token -- a basket of candy eggs, a booklet, a card -- are little things that bring a heap of joy. A humble task, perhaps, but the hospital association is asking the public to join them in it.

Besides the little gifts, there will be appropriate Easter programs at the institutions. Automobiles will be needed to carry the participants,

Easter Program at Arroyo Sanatorium

 

Entertainment Given by Committee for Patients at Hospital Arroyo Sanatorium and Del Valle Farm patients were visited on Easter Sunday by the Alameda County Hospitals

Christmas Committee, which entertains the patients on
various occasions. The entertainment and gifts are pre-
sented at various holiday periods and financed with money
collected in the annual Oakland Community Chest drive.
On the hospital committee are Herman T. Johnson, Chair-
man, W.J. Bergsma, Secretary, and E.F. Garrison, Treasurer.

The Easter program was presented before the joint body of patients from both Arroyo Sanatorium and the preventorium in the auditorium at the former hospital. Following the program the Easter baskets containing gifts were distributed.
