The Daviess Community Hospital Auxiliary held its annual Christmas luncheon on Dec. 10 at the hospital, bringing together members and hospital staff for a festive celebration.

The room was decorated in holiday style, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Upon registration, attendees received ornaments featuring replicas of their volunteer pins embedded on the front. Before the meal, guests enjoyed a table filled with delicious finger foods.

Auxiliary President Pat Brochin opened the meeting, followed by Chaplain Bill Whitehead offering a prayer for the meal. Vice President Peg Neidigh led the Pledge of Allegiance.

After brief business announcements, the meeting was adjourned. Ed Zipperle then led a lively Christmas trivia game, with several attendees winning prizes.

Continuing its tradition of community support, the Auxiliary collected canned goods, staple items, and monetary donations for Feed My Sheep.
