General Meetings are a time to welcome visitors, hear guest speakers and discuss
club business. All residents of Greater Winston-Salem are invited to join us.
General Meetings are held at Trinity Presbyterian Church, 1416 Bolton Street
(just off Silas Creek parkway via the Bolton Street exit) at 10 a.m. on the
fourth Tuesday of each month, except August and December.
Many opportunities for volunteering exist with the Winston Salem Hospice and Palliative Care Center. Join us as Angela Henrichs (Volunteer Coordinator) and Tina Stearns (Director of Community Outreach) help to educate us about Hospice and how we can get involved as Office volunteers, patient visitors, Camp Carousel volunteers (a children's camp), fundraising supporters, or event volunteers (Hospice Hope Run, Carousel of Hope, Golf Classic, Cycling, Light Up a Life holiday ornament sales).
For over thirty years, the Center has been providing a variety of services for Piedmont residents. It is headquartered in Winston-Salem near Bolton Park. The large, beautiful campus there includes the Kate B. Reynolds Home (which has 50 newly renovated private patient rooms designed to be a home away from home) and Education/Administration Buildings. Hospice exists to provide compassionate care of those individuals living with a life-limiting illness and their families, through quality medical, emotional, spiritual, and social support. Thirteen counties around us receive Hospice services. The organization continues to grow steadily and has increased its profile in our community, with many hundreds of volunteers participating in this very rewarding and special work.
Opportunities exist within "Hospice Hands" for those who like to bake, play bingo, sew, work in food pantries, and garden. They appreciate help with Speakers Bureau (providing awareness of services in the community by speaking at churches and civic organizations), Church Liaisons, and workers at Health Fairs. Or consider assisting at the Main Office with filing, data entry, and bulk mailings. Holiday helpers donate holiday meals or adopt needy families. The organization welcomes help with preparing and bringing in "comfort meals" for patients' families at the Hospice Home. Patient/Family volunteers are trained to visit and offer extra support and companionship. Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home volunteers support the patients and administration at the Hospice inpatient facility and may visit patients, answer the phone at the information desk, or direct visitors to patient rooms.
