You still earn your Rewards Points, Fuel Points, and Rebates, just as you do today, and your purchases will benefit Hearts for Hospice as well.  This Friday, May 13, we will again be participating in the Downtown Springfield ArtWalk at the Hearts for Hospice Resale Shop from 5-8pm.
As an added bonus, we will have a large selection of our framed art outside our front door at 50% off for this evening only. Our featured artist this month is Kim Black, a native Oregonian. Her work is inspired by nature and native American cultures as well as indigenous art throughout the world. Kim creates beautiful gourd vessels, gourd wall art and pine needle baskets. She describes herself as a life-long learner who enjoys trying new things, as evidenced in her stunning work. Her goal is to create beautiful, high quality, yet affordable art. We’re also pleased to welcome back the band Monroe Street, who will provide musical entertainment for the evening. Please join us for this festive evening.

Members of the Hearts for Hospice education committee will be in attendance to assist in providing information about end-of-life care planning.

Sandra Clarke, founder of the No One Dies Alone Program, will make a guest appearance in the afternoon from 2:30-4:00.

Stop by the shop and pick up some great buys.And Don't forget - the first Saturday of every month our clothing inventory is half off.This just-published book, written by 37 year old Dr. Paul Kalanithi, after his diagnosis of terminal cancer, is a remarkable and intimate portrait of a life and death well-lived. A review in today's New York Times describes this book as "as intimate and Illuminating as Atul Gawande's "Being Mortal."
