To The Editor:

I appreciate your giving us the opportunity to thank everyone who participated in the 4th Annual Hospice Poker Run on June 13, 2009.  The event raised $7,200 for the Burnett-Calvert Hospice House.  We would especially like to thank Chris Bowen who has coordinated this successful event for the last four years.  We are grateful to Mike Ricker of CJ’s Backroom Saloon who sponsored the event and hosted the post-run party.  Tina Abel and Heather Scott also contributed greatly through their hard work in soliciting auction items and sponsorships.  Thanks, too, to the individuals and businesses that supported the poker run and donated items to the silent auction. All of your support is helping to make the dream of the Hospice House a reality.

The Annual Hospice Poker Run is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to learn about the patient care and bereavement services of Calvert Hospice.  Thanks to the support of the entire Calvert County community, we are able to provide Hospice care to anyone regardless of the individual’s ability to pay and bereavement services, free of charge, to any resident of Calvert County.  With the opening of the Burnett-Calvert Hospice House this October, your help will allow us to add a new level of care to those in need. 

We are deeply grateful that the community finds the work of Calvert Hospice worthy of their generous support.

Sincerely,

Lynn Bonde
Executive Director
