Mother’s Day Luncheon<\/strong><\/h4>\n

“Honoring and remembering our mothers” was the theme of the annual luncheon to benefit the charity care mission of Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care of Santa Barbara<\/a> at the Coral Casino on May 5.<\/p>\n

Always a tearjerker, the event singles out two mothers each year, one living and one who has passed away.<\/p>\n

Peter Douglas spoke movingly of his mother, Anne Douglas, who then upstaged her son with a witty acceptance. Then Jerry Rubinstein shared his fond memories of his mother Yetta Rubinstein, as well as his gratitude for the services his family received from Hospice VNA when Yetta died in 2001.<\/p>\n

Emcees Debby Davison and Larry Crandel<\/a>l kept things lively while honorary event chairs Judy and Peter Murphy spoke about the good work that Hospice VNA does in the community. The weather didn’t cooperate, but the unexpected rain didn’t prevent event chairwomen Nancy Kimsey and Barbara Kummer and their committees from smoothly running the silent auction and luncheon, which raised over $125,000.<\/p>\n
