Avolun- teer must be kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and above all, must be willing to donate his or her time to helping other people. Moreover, it takes an extraordi- nary person to be a devoted vol- unteer for 47 years. Evelyn Eck of Shavertown is just such a person. Mrs. Eck has spent the past half century of her life volunteer- ing her services for the Shaver- town Branch of the Nesbitt Me- morial Hospital Auxiliary. After nearly half a century of volunteer- ing, no one can blame her for wanting to step down from volun- teering to spend time for herself. Fortunately for the auxiliary that time has not yet come. “I can't stop now. Tomorrow has as many needs as today,” she says. Having graduated from the Nesbitt Memorial Hospital School of Nursing, it was her original desire to help others that brought Mrs. Eck to the auxiliary nearly half a century ago. She joined the auxiliary branch in 1950 so that she could donate some time for the betterment of others. Since that time, she has not looked back. “We used to do many things back then,” she comments. “We did everything from making puppets Open Mike Night May 23 for performers Amateur and professional performers are invited to perform at the Open Mike Night sponsored by the Chicory House, Fri.

Demonstrating her leadership, she has administered numerous fundraising projects over the years, all with the goal of benefit- ing the hospital and the patients.
