The Magnolia Regional Medical Center Auxiliary recently completed their $400,000 capital campaign pledge to the MRMC Foundation.
The Magnolia Hospital Auxiliary was organized in April 1958 as a project of the Columbia County Medical Auxiliary in which Mildred Ruff was a vital part in founding this organization. Other charter members were June Houston, Mary Jane Wilson, Pauline Burt, Ann Weber, Nancy Crow, Elizabeth Rushton and Margaret Sizemore.
The Auxiliary members have given many hours of volunteer service to the hospital. The money raised by the Auxiliary through the years have been through the rental of television sets, snack bar sales, vending machine sales, gift shop sales, uniform sales, jewelry sales, bake sales and book sales.
Currently the Auxiliary has 43 members and volunteered 8,602 hours in 2010.
