Got the winter blahs? Tired of being cooped up inside with nothing to do? We have a suggestion for your February calendar – make plans to join the Madison-Mayodan Rotary Club for their 12th annual Tasting Extravaganza on February 2nd. Held at Deep Springs Country Club from 1:00-4:00pm, the Tasting Extravaganza will feature something for most everyone – food, wine, hops, and chances to bid on wonderful items in the silent auction. Hospice of Rockingham County is very humbled to be named as the recipient of this year’s proceeds.
Tickets are $20 in advance ($25 at the door) and may be purchased at Deep Springs Country Club, First Bank of Mayodan, First National Bank, and The Front Porch. Individual club members have tickets for sale as well. So come on out and support two local organizations for the price of one ticket!
Hospice of Rockingham County and Cardinal Innovations Healthcare will once again host a free advance care planning workshop in conjunction with National Healthcare Decisions Day.
The workshop will feature Steve Arrington, elder law attorney. Mr. Arrington will offer information on healthcare powers of attorney, durable powers of attorney, and living wills. Additionally, Hospice of Rockingham County’s own, Megan Cole, MSW, will offer an in-depth exploration of the “FIVE WISHES” document, which is an excellent planning tool. We will also have information about organ and tissue donation and are planning to have a notary on hand, in the event anyone decides to execute a document that day.
To register, email triadwellnessteam@cardinalinnovations.org or Flavel Collins at fchospice@triadbiz.rr.com or call the Wellness Center at (336) 705-8684. For more information, call HRC at (336) 427-9022.
Please join the Hospice Doves for their 13th annual Walk to Remember on the Chinqua Penn Walking Trail at the Upper Piedmont Research Station. Registration fee is $25 – although walkers may choose to raise additional funds in support of their walk (either individually or as part of a team).
On-site registration begins at 8:30am and the walk begins at 10:00am. All proceeds from the walk help offset the cost of providing care to those who are uninsured or underinsured. Since Hospice of Rockingham County’s inception in 1987, no patient has ever been turned away that lacked coverage but needed end-of-life care.
Free refreshments will be available on the trail. Afterwards, freshly-grilled hotdogs will be available for a nominal fee. Memorial doves to be placed on the trail will be available for purchase on the morning of the walk for a $1.00 donation.

As Hospice of Rockingham County grows, so does our need for volunteers. Administrative volunteers, patient care volunteers, fundraising volunteers, and meal couriers all help keep things humming like a well-oiled machine at HRC.
If you are interested in gathering more information about what types of volunteer opportunities we offer, why not join Hospice of Rockingham County’s Hospice Doves for ice cream and information? This is a great opportunity to talk with many of our volunteers for a first-person account of what being part of the Hospice team entails. Some of our volunteers have been with our organization for more than 25 years, while others may only have a year or so under their belts so you can gain insight from various perspectives. Please visit our website for information about our volunteer program.
So please join us on August 20th between 6:00pm and 7:30pm (this is not a formal presentation, so feel free to join us any time during the event ). Ben & Jerry’s will be on site serving up wonderful creations from the sundae bar. The Ice Cream & Info Social is free but we do ask that you RSVP by August 13th at 336-427-9022.
