SWING INTO SPRING FUNDRAISER

MARCH 1, 2008

Successful Spring Fundraiser!

We are excited to announce that our Swing into Spring Fundraiser collected $20,645.00 for the Fayette Care Clinic! We are so grateful for all of you who supported us in this event. Those who attended had a wonderful time eating, dancing, and being merry together for a wonderful cause. Harold Seay & the Boogie Shoes delighted us with great dancing music. The auction was a huge success, as well as a lot of fun.

We especially wish to thank Glendalough Manor and Gary Marullo for allowing us to borrow their facilities and for providing the sumptuous feast. We are grateful to all who were present at the gala, to all who donated auction items, and all who bid on them. We are also grateful to Bill MacDonald for being our fearless auctioneer. Without all of you, this fundraiser would not have been as successful.

Finally, thank you to Ginger Blackstone who worked so tirelessly planning and preparing for this event. We look forward to another wonderful event next year!

Georgia Power Foundation volunteers came in yesterday, January 21st 2008 on their holiday, to help us prepare Medical education classes. The top three diagnosis of our patients are diabetic, hypertension, and depression. Our first class is planned to start in February and scheduled as an 8 week class.

Fayette Care Clinic Board of Directors would like to thank the volunteers for cleaning out the basement area, taking donations to Clothes Less Traveled, taking items no longer needed to the dump, moving and changing out file cabinets, and painting. It was a great day and all of our goals were accomplished.

Along with Georgia Power volunteers, Fayette Day Break Rotary Club provided 5 volunteers that assisted with the painting. We thank all who gave of their day to make our classes possible.

Memorial for Ed Eikenburg

Fayette Care Clinic lost a wonderful friend and dedicated volunteer on September 16, 2007. Ed Eickenburg worked with us two days each week, on preparing us to receive patients on Tuesday and the working the reception desk to check patients in and out each Wednesday.

Ed gave much of his time and talent to the Fayette Care Clinic. But more than that, he gave us his love and friendship. His smile and laughter made everyone's day brighter. His pure spirit and genuine love for others was an inspiration to all of us. We miss him greatly. We have all felt the magnitude of our loss as each week passes without him.

Ed, we love you and miss you. But we know that you are safe in the arms of God and that even now you are watching over us. Your friends at the Fayette Care Clinic

Care clinic a lifesaver

I am writing this letter in hopes everyone will read it with eyes wide open.

I am a newcomer here from Florida. I came divorced and alone with no health care. I thank the good Lord every day for the Fayette Care Clinic. I have diabetes along with other problems and without their help and understanding I could not be here today. They are the most caring people I have ever met, and I would like everyone to know they are there to help. All the staff goes above and beyond the call of duty.

God bless FCC.

The Fayette CARE Clinic is a not-for-profit organization created to provide primary medical and dental care to members of our community who lack access to such services.

The Fayette CARE Clinic relies solely on private and public donations. The clinic is under the supervision of an experienced board of directors, who provides management and financial expertise including the allocation of funds. Skilled, licensed health care providers volunteer their services toward a variety of medical needs. Doctors oversee a qualified staff of nurses, medical assistants and student physicians, while a skilled administrative staff handles medical records, appointments, and office support

While our community continues to grow and prosper, there are many among us who, for various reasons, are either left out of the healthcare system or seem to simply fall through the cracks. Health care costs continue to spiral, leaving many in our county either without medical insurance or the ability to pay for needed medical procedures. Some residents may have lost their jobs and their health care coverage in the process. As part of greater Fayette County, we either can turn our backs on those who are suffering from a lack of medical attention or join together to minimize their illness and hardship. Through our organized efforts, we can alleviate the silent suffering of many and exemplify the caring community we are.

Because we depend on public and private donations, financial, equipment and services gifts are vital to the success of the clinic. A 501(c)3 organization, the Fayette CARE Clinic is seeking the support of all Fayette County. Already, our local health care community has committed hours of volunteer medical and dental care to our patients. Outpatient procedures such as laboratory tests and radiology services, are being donated by Piedmont-Fayette Community Hospital, while surgical and specialty services are being supported by various community and hospital programs.

Give voice to your compassion by helping meet the hidden health care needs within Fayette County. The Fayette CARE Clinic is an opportunity for you to help by committing time or talent, donating medical or office equipment or contributing monetarily to this vital effort. No matter the type, size, or amount of your gift, its benefit will ripple throughout Fayette County and our community will be all the stronger for it.
