Christmas! Tis the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall,
the genial fire of charity in the heart.

Our best wishes to all who make our mission possible throughout the year.
The ECHHO Staff
On Thursday, December 10, the ECHHO staff and Board members gathered at the office for a holiday
luncheon. Our living room, which is usually filled with medical equipment, was transformed with wreaths, lights and Christmas decorations. The scent of candles and hot mulled cider filled the air. A delicious potluck buffet was served. We gathered to honor Fran Roby for her years of dedicated service to ECHHO as its Executive
Director and Office Manager. We have missed Fran. It was good to see her looking so relaxed and well. Fran was presented with a framed, hand-lettered certificate of appreciation and a festive wreath for her home. We also recognized Sarah Ford, who has completed a 2-year assignment at ECHHO as our Title V trainee in the Senior Community Service Employment Program. We will miss her get-it-done attitude and attention to the many details that go along with our work. It won't be easy to find replacements for either Fran or Sarah. We wish them well.
