ODESSA – The Odessa Healthcare Foundation’s May 7 virtual auction will carry a “Roaring 20s” theme. Since January, the foundation board has learned how to conduct a virtual auction, and created an auction website. We’ve secured sponsors. We’ve gathered donations, taken pictures and written descriptions of those donations. That information was entered into the website, omhf.maestroweb.com. Bidding will start later, but for now you can see the donated items. You do not need to register or sign in to view the items. However, to...
ODESSA – The Odessa Healthcare Foundation would like to express its appreciation to our community and the surrounding area for the continued support. We strive to meet our mission to improve the healthcare of the community by raising funds to support Lincoln County Public Hospital District 1. Although the in-person May 2020 wine tasting, microbrew sampling and auction was not held, several generous donations enabled us to purchase the “raise the paddle” item, a vein finder instrument to assist the hospital staff in locat...
Cookbook (noun)…a book containing recipes and other information about the preparation and cooking of food Beginning with mimeographed pages and hand stapled, the Odessa Memorial Hospital Auxiliary published their first cookbook called “Over the Party Line”. Through the years, the Auxiliary continued to put together a total of nine different cookbooks of recipes contributed by citizens of Odessa. The most coveted (and out of print) one being the “green one.” The auxiliary disbanded in 2014. Though many changes have taken pla...

It has been a busy winter and spring for the members of the Odessa Healthcare Foundation and the FBLA Partnership With Business team. This is the second year the Healthcare Foundation has partnered with FBLA. The Foundation explained to the students how a non-profit organization works and what the proceeds from the annual auction have purchased for the Odessa Memorial Healthcare Center. In turn, the Partnership for Business team has increased the Foundation’s social media presence by creating a website (separate from the auct...

Springtime in Odessa means rain, sunshine and wind…sometimes all three in the same day.

On Friday, May 5, 2017, the Odessa Community Center will be filled with friends seeking a new wine to taste, sampling a favorite microbrew, bidding on silent and live auction items, and s...

Meagan...
The 25th annual Odessa Healthcare Foundation’s Wine Tasting, Microbrew Sampling and Auction is just three weeks away? That’s right, Friday, May 6, 2016 is the night to discover a new wine, sample a favorite beer, nibble on some appetizers, bid on some auction items and support the local medical center.

Would you like a speedy checkout at the end of the e...
Continued from last week. The walk down memory lane continues in part three of the history of the Odessa Healthcare Foundation’s wine tasting and auctions. After the “rough winter” of 2008-09, the Odessa Healthcare Foundation chose to focus on raising money for a new 4-wheel drive ambulance. The board knew this would be a multi-year project since new ambulances cost in the $150,000-$200,000 range. The 18th (2009) and 19th (2010) annual wine tasting and auctions raised over $55,000 toward the ambulance. That, combined with...
Continued from last week. The walk down memory lane continues in part two of the history of the Odessa Healthcare Foundation’s wine tasting and auctions. In 2000, the Healthcare Foundation’s goal was $20,000 for the 9th annual wine tasting and auction, with the money raised going toward remodeling and updating Odessa Memorial Hospital’s physical therapy department. Despite wheat selling for $2.38 a bushel, Odessa rose to the challenge, and the goal was met and surpassed. Event organizer Noreen Groh was quoted in The Odess...
In anticipation of the silver anniversary of the Odessa Healthcare Foundation’s annual wine tasting, microbrew sampling and auctions, I began reading past minutes and treasurer’s reports of the Odessa Healthcare Foundation’s meetings, as well as past issues of The Odessa Record in search of information about previous “wine tasting parties.” I hope you will enjoy this walk down memory lane. In June of 1988, the Odessa Memorial Hospital Board of Commissioners had a desire to set up a foundation structured in such a way as to...

This is by no means a complete list, but just a sampling of what you will find at both the silent and live auction Friday, May 1,...
