Mary worked for Adoray for twenty years, from 1998 to 2017, as the Chief Financial Officer. Most recently, Mary served as CFO for Interim in Roseville, MN. During Mary’s tenure with Adoray, she helped shape the organization’s mission, and her leadership contributed to Adoray’s current success.

Good Neighbors Ukulele group | |  | | | | | | |  | The true-blue Forget-Me-Not plant displays a cloud of tiny sky-blue flowers with yellow centers, perched on the tip of hairy stems which grow from 4 inches to a foot long. An old German legend says that God had assembled all the flowers to give each one a name until there was only one tiny plant that remained. Then God turned as if to leave, causing the little plant to cry out:” Forget me not O Lord, and the Lord said: “That shall be your name.” This tiny blue flower does not attract immediate attention, it is very easily overlooked among larger and more vibrant flowers, yet it is just as beautiful and important as other plants and flowers that we see in flower gardens. | | | | Over the course of four months, I have had the great privilege of meeting many of you, in person, or over the phone. I am truly amazed what a great group of volunteers you are. There are many reasons an individual starts volunteering, personal value, concerns for well-being of another individual, desire to give back to the community, desire to give back after receiving Hospice service, and because it’s your calling. All these, and many more, are wonderful reasons for which you volunteer. I see power and spark in you when you talk or write about the service you have provided to a dying patient. I know how deep you feel when a patient passes on from this life. I see your joy, and your sorrow, your commitment, and your sacrifice. My hope is that just like Forget-Me-Not flowers you feel appreciated, recognized, and thanked on a regular basis. You are a vital part of our Hospice. Without you it would be impossible to reach the lives of each and every one of our Hospice patients. You are the one that offers kindness, love, and time to each one of them. I look forward to meeting more of you in person before I see you all on June 24th for our mandatory meeting, that will be followed by a fun and relaxing picnic. Have an amazing month😊 – Martina | | | | We are excited to welcome our new Hospice Volunteers to our Circle of Care!
