No experience is necessary, just enthusiasm and compassion for helping pediatric patients cope with the stress of being a patient. Helpers need to be at least 10 years old. Please email us at emersonauxiliaryblog@gmail.com. We have room for 40 helpers.
Thirdly, our 33rd annual Spring Pops concert is planned for Saturday, April 4th, at 8:00 pm at the Friends of Performing Arts Center in Concord, MA. This is a popular event and has sold out the last two years running. Invitations go out the second week of February.

Emerson Auxiliary Tree of Lights and Cookie Sale
A festive crowd braved the cold temperatures at Emerson Hospital Auxiliary’s annual Tree of Lights ceremony held on December 8th. The tradition of donating a light on the tree in memory of a loved one, to honor a special person, or to just celebrate the season continues to be a fun and beloved Auxiliary event. This year, the event raised roughly $4000 for the hospital.
Auxiliary President Denise Haartz kicked off the ceremony, followed by Emerson Hospital President and CEO Christine Schuster who reflected on this special time of year. After some prayers led by Emerson Chaplain Georgia Leiner, season songs were then performed by the vocal group Music Among Us of Bedford.
This year’s “Cookies-By-the-Pound “sale, held on December 17th, was also a recipe for success, yielding $1300 from sales of over 400 dozen cookies baked by Auxilians and the mothers and daughters of the National Charity League.
The Emerson Hospital Auxiliary supports Emerson Hospital through a wide variety of activities ranging from more intimate members-only gatherings to large events open to the public. If you like to organize, create, cook, network, write, edit, speak in public, or just contribute to your community, the Auxiliary welcomes your participation. Anyone interested in learning more about the Auxiliary should contact Karen McCarthy at 978-371-2133 for more information.
