Another example of her Excellence and Service, is her special contribution to the MedCare Clinic project. The Medical Records Department "adopted" the MedCare Clinic and donates small toys throughout the year. Karen decided to enlarge her personal contribution with some real recipes for success. She became a one-woman bake sale. Karen made and sold homemade baked goods to her friends and co-workers. She then took the money from the sales to buy new toys for MedCare. By investing money in ingredients for the baked goods that she might have used to buy a few toys, Karen was able generate enough money to buy many toys. While Karen did not think her ingenuity and generosity of time and talents were anything special, the children who delight in the toys would think her very special indeed. We are proud to name Karen Ricker, a Legend of St. Rita's. |
