We invite you to join us for a special Veterans Day Flag Ceremony to honor our local Veterans. Happening on Friday, November 8th at 9:00am in the Atrium of Western Wisconsin Health. | | | | | | | | Very ironically, change is the only thing that remains a constant in our lives. From the moment we enter this life, until the last breath we take, change is a very powerful force in our lives. It gives us opportunity to progress and create future we desire for ourselves. Change is also very intimidating and scary. It makes us question “can I do this?” and “am I ready? | | | | Fall is upon us, and so is another change, a change in season. The hustle and bustle of summer, to do lists, activities late into the evening are behind us. It is time to slow down a little. A recent quote I read says: "Autumn, the season that teaches us the change can be beautiful“, reminds me that change of season, as well as any change in our lives are all part of a beautiful plan. End of life is difficult, but it can also be beautiful. As volunteers you are doing things to make that end of life, for our hospice patients, as beautiful as it can be. You meet your patients where they are. You serve with all your heart and kindness in many positions. Thank you for all the beauty you bring with you.

It encapsulates life at Treasures! Each day we receive hundreds of beautiful donations. Staff and volunteers process them and out to the sales floor they go where they find new homes and help us raise needed funds to support Adoray’s patients and their families. Completing the circle. Imagine how thrilled we were when Hospice Volunteer Coordinator Martina, reached out to GM Joleen inquiring if the stores could help with our annaul Veteran’s Day baskets for our Hospice Veteran Pateints. Martha’s Quilt Group from St. Bridget’s Catholic Church in River Falls had agreed to make basket liners for the veteran’s baskets. The concern was they may not have enough of ‘patriotic”, red, white, blue fabric. Not to worry! In less than a day we were able to provide enough fabric to not only create the requested 25 baskets but 34! Again, completing the circle and accomplishing our mission. Pictured above is a selection of the basket liners as they are being created. Great job ladies! Thank you! | | | | | | | | | This month's Volunteer spotlight is Jean Kelly Jean Kelly helps us on Thursdays in store with the behind the scenes, of testing and cleaning all electronics, and small kitchen appliances. If that's not enough, Jean also takes all our linens, bedding, curtains, and more home to tag and price. Then, Jean brings them back, looking like new and restocks our linen area weekly, usually 6 bins to be processed. Jean is originally from Baldwin and now resides in Woodville, where she loves to garden. Jean also loves antiques. We are truly Blessed and Thankful for Jean to share so much of her time with us. We definitely appreciate you and couldn't do it without you. | | | | Adoray's Treasures from the Heart is excited to participate in the Annual Trick or Treat on Main Street in Balwin.
