Foundation Update - March/April 2009

A Message From Cherlyn L. Spencer

Executive Director, Alameda County Health Care Foundation

Our Spring Appeal was sent out in March to all of our donors, and the results have been really great. We hope those of you who have not had an opportunity to give will please consider it. There is no time limit.

The Foundation has been very busy for the months of March and April.

• The Angiography Suite Acquisition Campaign is ending the fiscal year 2008/2009, with two special events; the Bank of Alameda Corporate Reception, May 19, 2009; and the Third Annual Faith-based Campaign Luncheon on May 21, 2009.
