By the WHCF The Valley View Health Care Foundation is a nonprofit non-profit incorporated organization that was established to effectively support the development of health care service in Iron County. It's primary purposes pur-poses have been to raise funds through tax deductible contributions to enhance the health care services of our area and especially the Valley View Medical Center, and to build strong community com-munity relationships through open communication, com-munication, with the intent of gaining an understanding and supportive membership. Since it's organization, the Foundation has benefitted from a steady increase in membership and community com-munity support. Donations received in the the form of memorial gifts, and individual and corporate gifts, have regularly added to the stability of the Foundation itself and directly increased the quality of patient care delivery at the Valley View Medical Center. Over $10,000 worth of equipment has been purchased pur-chased through donations to the Valley View Health Care Foundation and is currently being used in caring for newborns requiring critical care monitoring, adults and children requiring critical monitoring of intravenous fluid therapy, etc. Additional donations have been received for many other specific pieces of equipment and simply await receipt of further contributions to have enough funds for planned purchases. The Board of Trustees of the WHCF wish to thank the community for donations both financially and in the form of dedicated service time that has added to the success of the Foundation in achieving it's purposes this past year. It has been exciting ex-citing and heart-warming to see the enthusiastic support of the entire community shown in the efforts of grade school children donating funds from a service project to the large scale support 3 , . r O - I ; J . .

One of Cedar City's older organizations, the Wei-Ak-Avi literary club, has made its last contribution. It has donated to one of the areas newest organizations, the Valley View Health Care Foundation, as the club closed its book recently. Organized over 50 years ago, under the sponsorship of the Southern District of the Utah Federation of Women's Clubs, the Wei-Ak-Avi club has provided its members with cultural, literary and study programs to enrich the home. By becoming knowledgeable about problems facing the nation, members have been given a sense of responsibility respon-sibility as mother citizens. Wei'Ak-Avi members have undertaken many community service projects over the years. They participated par-ticipated with the District in sponsoring a childrens' health clinic. Through their contributions of time and money, they have given a great support to the war effort during World War II, have supported the Music Arts in Cedar City, have donated to the Shakespearean Shakes-pearean Festival, have donated books to the local public and school libraries, and sponsored many other worthwhile projects. Over the years, some members of the club have moved to other communities and others have passed away. In 1975, at the com memoration of 50 years and some 1200 meetings, the following active members met for a tea and a reunion of the total membership: Christy Bradshaw, Florence Cardon, Leta Cowley, Carol Draper, Thelma Higbee, Ruth Hunter, Bernella Jones, Claire Jones, Rhoda Jones, Lucy Lunt, Blanche Richards, Ada Thorley, Mary Urie and Evelyn Webster. Recently, the active members met and voted to disband and to contribute their remaining funds to the Valley View Health Care Foundation through its president Dixie Leavitt. Leavitt expressed his gratitude to the Wei-Ak-Avi club members for their support of the Foundation.
