For those of you who missed it, Jody Kramer, the Client Services Coordinator, spoke with Darren McPeake of Mtn FM Radio fame, this past Tuesday to share insights about the upcoming events and fall programs being offered by the Sea to Sky Hospice Society.
We wanted to share Jody’s interview with you here, so that you too, could learn about what is on the fall schedule.
Thank you for your support Darren, Mtn. FM and Jody Kramer for all that you do on behalf of the Hospice Society!
