MEDICAL LOAN CLOSET (MLC)
|
When you ask people in the community if they have
ever heard of Soroptimist International of Sequim, many respond affirmatively.
When asked what they know about Soroptimists they say something like:
“You’re the folks who have medical equipment people in the
community can borrow.” This is true, but that is not all we do.
Still it is interesting that the Medical Loan Closet is so much a part
of our community. Perhaps Marcia Beggs and Dorothy Herritt did more
PR than they know.
The MLC exists because there is a need. It is kept active by support from our club and by contributions from the community, sometimes with donations of equipment sometimes with donations of funds. |

The
MLC recently received a wonderful walker from Leslie McDaniel, a very
generous local woman. Leslie said she had been supporting the Sequim
Food Bank as her major contribution locally, but felt that they were
already well provided for. She attended one of our Soroptimist meetings
as a guest of Jeanne Martin’s. Leslie remembered the work we do
and purchased the deluxe walker (costing more than $250) at Frick’s
Drugs, a local company. |
She
also said she plans to contribute another walker later this year. Leslie
wanted to help our community and knew that teaming with Soroptimists
would allow her donation to be put to good use for a long time to come.
Leslie is truly supporting her community, in so many ways. We are grateful
for her generosity, compassion and attitude. This is a woman who leads
by example. Thank you, Leslie from Soroptimist of Sequim and from the
citizens of Sequim for improving the quality of life for many of our
senior citizens. |
