Members of the Steering Committee for the Garrett County Memorial Hospital Foundation's GALA proudly display a large check for $56,000, the net proceeds from the fundraising GALA held last November.

Pictured left to right are: Patti Battista, Jackie Johnson, Wayne Johnson, Barbara Frantz, and Judy Prather. "The GALA is held every other year and is very generously supported by the community. Plans are already underway for our next GALA which will be held in 2011," remarked Wayne Johnson, GALA Chairman. Committee members not available at the time of photo are: Don Battista, Jeanine Sisler, Frances Gnegy, Bea Crosco, Regina Gearhart, Jason Sweitzer, Elaine McDonald, Betsy Spiker, Linda Fike, Bill Grant, Dana McCauley, Sharon Markwood, and Kris Miller.
