Penguin
Swim: The OC Ravens Roost #44 “Penguin Swim Team” is
once again raising money for Atlantic General Hospital as part of their 27th
Annual Penguin Swim which takes place at the Princess Royal Hotel on New Years
Day. Last year we raised over $14,700
and the total raised by the Team in the past twelve years is $126,991.
This is my 13th year as a member of
the OC Ravens Roost #44 Penguin Swim Team. We normally hold several fundraising events
throughout the year in addition to personal donations collected from friends
and neighbors. This year, due to the
Covid-19 concerns and restrictions, we have been restricted to just doing a
raffle and one fundraising event at The Shrimp Boat in West OC on Fri. &
Sat. 10/30-31. This has greatly
restricted our fundraising efforts and made our personal requests for donations
much more important. Any help you can
give is greatly appreciated!!
The
AGH Penguin Swim helps the hospital support a wide variety of programs and
services. Last year, the hospital
provided community benefits worth over $12 million. These benefits included health screenings,
community education, immunizations, seminars and meetings, support groups and
financial assistance.
You
can be sure that your donation will be used where it is needed most to help the
hospital accomplish its mission: To create a coordinated care delivery system
that will provide access to quality care, personalized service and education to
improve individual and community health.
Please
make a donation to support my participation, along with the entire OC Ravens
Roost 44 Team's effort to help this very worthy cause, our non-profit community
hospital. Simply go to "www.aghpenguinswim.org",
scroll down the left side of the page and click on "Search All Teams” Then click on “OC Ravens Roost 44”. Scroll down to “Team Members” and click on the
name of the penguin you want to donate to (ME or Maggie) then fill out the
requested info.
Remember,
whether you live here or just visit the OC area, if you have a medical issue
while here, you will probably wind up at Atlantic General Hospital. Help to make it the very best it can be.
We
appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Gary
& Maggie

Dave's
best friend passed away recently. Grieving
before his grave he said "Bro, I really miss you. My wife has been pregnant for 8 months now. How about you reincarnate as my child?" A month later, Dave's wife gave birth to a
boy. As his child grew older each day,
he realized he looks a lot like his best friend. Dave's really happy that his prayer worked.
Etcetera
