Louise Kaulback of the Rumford Eagles Club, right, presents a check for the Rumford Hospital Annual Appeal to Barbara Belanger, president of the hospital auxiliary. It is the seventh consecutive year the Eagles have given to the appeal for a total of nearly $6,000. “The Eagles have been tremendously supportive of the hospital and its annual appeal program,” said Belanger. “We are asking other organizations and individuals in the community to give generously this year as the appeal goal is to furnish and equip the new consolidated patient unit now under construction.” Donations should be made payable to Rumford Hospital and mailed to Community Relations, 420 Franklin St., Rumford 04276. The appeal closes July 1. For more information, call 369-1143.
