Hospice in Great Britain has the sunflower for their icon. We have also chosen the sunflower as the symbol for our local group. Sunflowers focus on sunlight for stamina and strength, thrive in adverse growing conditions, and develop deep roots and strong stalks to withstand the elements. These qualities could also describe a Hospice nurse.
Officers for 2012:
| President Elect: Claire Gibson |
|
Treasurer: Bonnie Tarver |
