We’ll throw open our doors one last time this year during Autumn with Topsail, weather permitting. Plan to visit several of our patients during your tour. Hospital darling “Ambassador Lennie” continues his amazing growth spurt, and he says it will be nice to have some excitement again before we close these particular doors forever. We’ll have our gift shop set up, and we’re stocked with all kinds of T-shirts (long and short sleeve), hooded sweatshirts, toddler and infant gear, accessories and stuffed turtles. Come armed with your holiday shopping list, and sizes! All proceeds go directly to our hospital operation and our patients’ care. Doors will open noon-ish, or as soon as we finish with our morning routine. See you there. . . . → Read More: One busy September!
