January 2008
The league of friends begins it's 50th year of voluntary service, serving the hospital at Heatherwood.
The radio station took great pride in presenting one of the specially commissioned commemorative mugs to a grateful patient Bruce Dunsford on ward 4 last night.
Bruce joins a long line of lucky winners of mugs.
The first mugs were given away in 1993 and a number of designs have been available.
Patients who make requests each night go into a draw and will qualify for a chance to win a mug.
Monday team Celsio D'souza, Katie Ayers and Ian Shephard were on hand to see the presentation went without a hitch. Katie Ayers featured in the picture with lucky winner Bruce.
