A note from PruittHealth Activities Director Torrence Williams:
What can I say? You guys have done it again. You are the best! I type this letter on the last Friday of 2022 while reflecting on what a challenging year it has been for our staff, relatives and friends. I refuse to let 2022 close without telling each of you how special you have made our residents and staff feel. The holiday social was one of our heaviest attended events of the year, but hands down it continues to be the one that people discuss the most. The residents model their new clothes, share their snacks, communicate to their loved ones about their special gifts and tell stories of how much fun they had. The staff is always so appreciative of their gift cards and routinely ask me for contact information so they can express their gratitude. I again cannot thank you enough for choosing our facility as one of your annual expressions of love for our community. I look forward to next year already. If there is ever anything we can do for you please don’t hesitate to let us know.
A note from Isabel Reddy:
A big Thank You for another wonderful Christmas Benefit for the residents and staff at PruittHealth Carolina Point.
The below picture is all the gift bags ready to be delivered.
It was wonderful to see smiles come to the faces of the residents.
A few gift bags included Cracker Jacks, and the residents were so tickled, saying,
“Oh, I haven’t seen these in many years.”
The party on Dec 21 was joyous with half a dozen children handing out drinks and bringing joy to the residents.
A Giant Thank You to all NHIA community for helping making this Christmas a very special one for Pruitt residents and staff.
PruittHealth’s activity director on last year’s benefit:
“The residents were clearly excited and thrilled with their personalized gifts such as blankets, pajamas and special food items. Additionally, your contribution helped to give 59 hourly and patient-care staff thirty-dollar grocery gift cards.”
Our goal for this year is to raise $3,000 to support 90 patients and 60 patient-care staff members. The NHIA will provide the first $1,000 and for the remaining we ask for donations.
We are hoping to make this another special holiday season for the residents and staff at PruittHealth.
Please be a part of this and donate through our website or mail a check to:
NHIA, PO Box 16013, Chapel Hill, NC 27516-6013
Thank you so much for your support!
NHIA’s End-of-Year Pizza Party, Membership Meeting, and Elections will be held Friday, December 9th, from 6-8 pm at the Community Center on Whitfield Rd. We’ll also review 2022 events and look forward to 2023. Hope to see you there!
Duke University had decided that running events will no longer be allowed in Duke Forest and that includes the New Hope Turkey Run every Fall and their own Pine Cone Pacer every Spring.
Our longtime sponsors had already funded the T-shirts we were going to give out for this year’s race and we wanted to make them available specially to folks who have participated in the Turkey Run for years or in some cases decades! We decided to have a get together at the New Hope Improvement Association building on the usual date of the Turkey Run (this year Nov. 12) at the usual start time 9 am and these T-shirts will be available for free (donations to support NHIA will be gratefully accepted too).
There will also be a Nature Hike on part of the Turkey Run race course led by UNC Botany professor Dr. Robert Peet and perhaps some refreshments, but sadly no usual Turkey Run breakfast. For those interested we will show a video that was made of the Dec. 5, 1992 Turkey Run – that would have been the 10th edition and this year would have been the 40th !!! We hope you can join us next Saturday morning and we appreciate all the support you have provided over the years.
