Hospice of the Carolina Foothills trained new volunteers last week from Columbus, Mill Spring, Tryon and Landrum. These volunteers will work as patient companions, as well as in capacities at the Hospice House and with HoCF-sponsored events. Pictured, from left, are: Leta Scruggs, Denise Hofman, Bobbie McNutt, Mary Sherman, Barbara Adams and Stephanie Fletcher. If you are interested in volunteering for your local Hospice, call Kim Smith at 828-894-7000 or Tracey Brannon at 864-457-9125. (photo submitted)
