Thank you to the Sea to Sky Singers, Squamish’s community choir for providing uplifting and beautiful songs to the residents in the hospice unit. Your lovely voices and beautiful music bring smiles to our days and we are so grateful that you stopped by this past week. Your voices add so much compassion to the care that is provided to the residents during their stay.
Please note, we had incorrectly named the group as the Anglican Church Choir and have now corrected it for this post.
Once again the Sea to Sky Hospice Society is very grateful to be the recipient of a gift of wonderful of quilts. These beautiful quilts have been handmade by the ladies of the local Squamish Quilters Guild. They will be used to provide comfort and warmth to persons receiving care through the Hospice Society services and also will be used as a means of raising funds for our programs.
Thank you Squamish Quilters Guild and Anne Babuin!
