THE YEAR OF 1992 - 1993

This has been a very exciting and successful year for the Auxilians. Thank you once again to everyone who has worked so hard to accomlish so much - and so what started as Samuel Riddle's dream became a reality on February 18th, 1963. A tradition of caring had begun. Since that time, we have grown and explosive buildings and growth continues. We are also very proud. As AUXILIANS, coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success! May you look back at the past, with as much pleasure as you look forward to the future. So it is on to 1992 with just eight years to the year 2000! Let us all march into the future. On the first floor, near the Emergency Room, there is a plaque presented from the Board of Directors of Riddle Memorial Hospital to the Associated Auxiliaries that says it all,•

RIDDLE HOSPITAL PEOPLE FETE DR. CHARLES KIPP

On June 19,199L, co-workers, friends and family gathered at the Aromimink Golf Club for dinner and dancing and entertainment to wish Dr. Charles M. Kipp a wonderful life of retirement with his "Cynthia".

Dr. Kipp has been in the Department of Anesthesia

since November, 1963, and some of those years were spent as Chief of the Department of Anesthesia.

(Continued from previous page)

He has been a loyal supporter of the endeavors of the Associated Auxiliaries. For many years, he served as Auctioneer at the Man 0 1

War Ball, helping to boost our profits to record highs. He has been a tireless worker at the Country Fair, each year going above and beyond the call of duty.

Dr. Kipp "Charlie" will be sorely missed -but we wish him the very best as he begins his new life. HE EARNED IT!

OPPORTUNITY

Riddle Village has become the choice in retirement living. Every day Riddle Village gets closer to reality. Construction is progressing on schedule and our first resi-dents should be moving into their new homes just over a year from now.

The new spacious apartments and all the services, activities and amenities, plus security and peace of mind true life care living.

Before long, apartment choices will be limited, at best. That's why selection and value will never be better than right now.

If you ever thought life care living might make sense for you, Riddle Village is an opportunity you do not want to miss.

CLASSIC

FOR THE BENEFIT OF

RIDDLE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

The Tenth Annual Riddle Pro-Am Golf Classic was held at Hershey's Mill Golf Club in West Chester and Chester Valley Golf Club on June 8th, 1992.

It was a drizzmal AM, but cleared to sunny skies and a wonderful tournament. A special "thank you" to Autobohn Motor Cars for taking a chance that someone would ace the 14th and drive off in that beautiful 1992 MERCEDES-BENZ!

Physicians, administration, corporate sponsors and friends of Riddle gathered for a tournament with LPGA and local professionals. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres followed, with the prizes and awards.

Thank you to Joyce Bowers, Director of Public Relations, and her committee, and all the "behind the scenes" people who helped to make_the day. Once again, we will be looking forward to another $UCCE$$FUL Golf Classic for next year.
