You name it, we had it: wonderful raffles in abundance, silent auction
offerings, a cool jazz trio, a wonderful group of attendees dressed in
their finery with a fabulous selection of fashionable hats! Click on

The High Tea for Old Colony Hospice held on May 17 at Spring Valley Country Club was yet another occasion on the OCH event calendar to mark our 30 years of service.
We extend special thanks to Jane Anderson, Chairman; and her very capable, energetic volunteer committee. Monique Doyle Spencer was guest speaker. Monique believes in humor as a powerful force in restoring the human spirit under any conditions. She is author of The Courage Muscle: A Chicken's Guide to Living With Breast Cancer; and How Can I Help? Everyday Ways to Help Your Loved Ones Live with Cancer.
The $26,000 net proceeds raised will support patient care – and could there be anything more important than providing care for loved ones at their most fragile time in life? OCH continues to experience steady growth and significant support in the community, which is vital for the skilled, most compassionate work we do each day.
Winners of the Grand Raffle were: Lisa Katz, (Napa, CA trip); Evelyn Smith, ($500); and Mark Chandler ($250 Massachusetts lottery tickets). We are thankful for the generosity of our patrons, area businesses, and lead sponsors: HarborOne Credit Union and Mansfield Bank Charitable Foundation.
