Students Raise Money for Cornerstone VNA’s Pediatric Fund
Students Raise Money for Cornerstone VNA’s Pediatric Fund
Rochester, NH – Cornerstone VNA, a local nonprofit home health and hospice care provider, recently received a generous donation of $484 from the HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) students at the Richard W. Creteau Regional Technology Center at Spaulding High School in Rochester, NH. This donation is a result of a special bake sale that the students organized to support the Kiddie Cornerstone Fund at Cornerstone VNA.
The Kiddie Cornerstone Fund was established in 2016 to provide gifts for the organization’s pediatric patients to bring smiles to their youngest patients and to promote hope and healing at home. In addition to gifts, such as books, coloring books, and small toys, funds are also used to purchase gas cards to assist with transportation to medical appointments for families in need.
“Childhood illnesses are scary for young patients and their families, and the financial burden can be so overwhelming,” shares Erika Lee, Director of Advancement. “Thanks to donations to our Kiddie Cornerstone Fund, we can provide an extra layer of support in the form of toys and books, special equipment, gas cards, and even gifts over the holidays. We are very grateful to the students for their efforts to support our young patients.”
HOSA Co-President, Mia Baillargeon shares, “We are fortunate enough to have a great group of ladies [students] this year that are passionate about serving the community and reaching out to those who may need it most. Of course we could have raised money for ourselves, but this was something more honorable, that makes an impact on others.” HOSA Advisor, Lisa Kumph adds, “Our HOSA group was very excited to be able to support the children in our community. The students and staff at Spaulding High School and the Creteau Tech Center demonstrated their generosity through support of the bake sale.”

Artist in Residency Exhibition
Artist in Residency Exhibition
The Art Center in Dover, NH presents the “Artist in Residency Exhibition”, a fine art installation that showcases some of the best work of seasoned and up and coming seacoast artists. Artists Lillia Shuel, Lindsey MacMurdo and AJ Jessome and Printmakers Diane St. Jean, Luccas Booth, Beth Wittendburg, Kristen Lanzer each spent four months at The Art Center in the Art Center’s Artist in Residency Program to create the body of work that is presented in this impressive collection. The show highlights several different styles of printmaking including monoprint, linocut, etching and collagraph. Photography, watercolor, oil painting and drawing are also featured.
This is the 3rd year that the Artist in Residency Program has been available to local artists. When Rebecca Proctor created The Art Center, public education was always a part of her master plan. As The Art Center grew she put that plan into action with the help of Peter Henry of Market Square Jewelers who signed on to sponsor a studio. The printmaking program started last year as The Art Center launched its state of the art printmaking studio. The Closet Connection subsidized this effort and several printmakers have reaped the benefits of their ongoing generosity.
The exhibit runs through April 30th with an artist’s reception scheduled for April 9th from 6-9 PM.
To take advantage of this opportunity to become a ‘resident artist’ or ‘resident printmaker’ and enjoy all of what The Art Center has to offer, Artists can apply at www.theartcenterdover.com.
The Art Center located at the Washington Street Mills, 1 Washington Street, Suite 1177, Dover, NH.
