Hospital seeks members The foundation formed to seek
long-term financial development of Sierra Nevada Memorial and Miners hospitals will begin seeking additional members during the fall. Contacts will be made from September through November to attract people who are interested in the future of the community facilities, This was learned Wednesday by the board of trustees, who at present are the only members of the fledgling foundation which was organized earlier this year, A general membership meeting will be held on the second Wednesday of August followed by the drive for new recruits.« At the end of that drive, a general orientation meeting will be held to get the new people involved in working toward the foundation's goals. The trustee meeting was unofficial Wednesday because not enough members attended to provide a quorum. About 20 showed up, but 23--half plus one of the trustees--had to be there to transact business. President William Cassettari deplored the low turnout and it was decided to write letters to trustees who have failed to attend the first two quagterly meetings and see if they want to remain on the board or resign. Proposed by-laws changes were discussed, including one to gradually reduce the number of trustees from 45 to 24. Cassettari said it is hoped this move will "make the group more viable and active." Al Casey, administrator of Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital, announced that $222,000 has been donated or pledged in the expansicn fund drive held during the spring. ~ THEY’RE MOVING «o MEN, , NOT =.
