AHC NE Charity Drive
The Austin Healey Club of New England has chosen to direct our 2022 charitable donations to the Surgical Intensive Care Unit, Ellison 4, Massachusetts General Hospital. Members who attended the Annual Meeting Zoom call heard first hand from our member and front line worker Sharon Brackett about the intense pressure nurses have endured during the Covid pandemic. Often working multiple shifts, foregoing food, family and personal well-being nurses sacrificed much for the common good. Your contribution will be used to purchase basic creature comforts including but not limited to face lotions, and healthy snacks. Rick Neville will be coordinating delivery of care packages as funds permit. Personally, I have donated what I would have spent on a good meal out with my bride had I dared venture out, I challenge every AHC NE member to consider doing the same. We owe a debt of gratitude to our front line workers. Members came through by making face coverings when shortages existed. Now that the current phase of the pandemic appears to be winding down, this would be a good time to show appreciation for a job well done. Hopefully we will see Sharon on the road this summer to thank her personally.
