 Status of the We Care Network
A huge thank you to all the physicians, dentists, and organizations who volunteer in the We Care Network.

24 Years and Counting
By Rosalie A. Carlin, CMS Administrative Assistant:
Wow. When I started at CMS, Mollie Hill was the Executive Director and Madeline Shephard was the bookkeeper. That was it. It was just the three of us. There was no We Care back then. We had 325 members (we now have 620). There was no medical school. Come to think of it, I believe Dr. Moore was actually performing plastic surgery in our Board Room. Read more...
Historical Review of the Holiday Auction
By David Miles, M.D.
Foreword (Author's Note)
Since most of the books I read include this I felt it only fitting that I should also; coupled with the fact that it helps clear my conscience. This is so stated because of the number of talented writers this organization is fortunate to have and the selection of this author is based upon 2 factors: 1) AGE 2) Unavailability of the real writers due to this time of year (vacations and football). Therefore, it is requested that this author not be held responsible for veracity or accuracy of this historical review. Having said this AND feeling immensely relieved, will now proceed with this review. Read more...
