In addition to special donors, attendees included current and former board members as well as past staff and current members of Cornerstone VNA’s clinical leadership team. This special event was generously underwritten by Daystar.

The first Cornerstone Award recipient of the night was Stella Marcotte, longtime Rochester resident and dedicated office volunteer at Cornerstone VNA. Since 1990, Stella has cheerfully worked behind the scenes to support their office staff and field staff. Stella continues to volunteer every week, and with her fast hands, she quickly completes any task she’s assigned. Upon accepting the award and expressing her gratitude, she received many smiles and words of adoration.

The second Cornerstone Award was presented to Rinda Madden of Rochester, who worked at Cornerstone VNA for many years before retiring from her position as Home Care Team Manager in 2016. Rinda first joined the rehabilitation team as a physical therapist in 1993. It was noted that over the years, Rinda experienced many transformations in home health care including mergers, technology enhancements and changes in reimbursement.

Jewelry Creations recently held a one-day permanent jewelry fundraising event to support Dover Baseball’s 12U All Star team and raised twentythree hundred dollars; money that will be used to help send the team to Branson, Missouri this summer to represent New Hampshire in the Cal Ripken World Series. The event took place May 6th and Jewelry Creations donated all profits from the sale of permanent jewelry and twenty percent of all non-permanent jewelry purchases to the team. Permanent jewelry is a growing trend in fashion jewelry where a jeweler custom-fits a solid gold or silver bracelet around your wrist and welds the two ends together. The actual “zap” takes all of a few seconds and is completely painless. Visit jewelrycreationsinc.com.
