The Clermont Woman’s Club is recently welcomed Nick Geinosky, Philanthropy Director of Cornerstone Hospice Foundation to it’s monthly club meeting. Cornerstone Hospice, which the Club supports, started in the early 1980’s by a dedicated group of volunteers in Eustis. It has grown into the largest not-for-profit hospice in the country.
The Women learned of the many services offered by Cornerstone Hospice that you would expect – such as supporting patients pain control, managing symptoms, and ensuring comfort in the times nearing end of life. Nick educated the group about the many additional supports provided by Cornerstone for the entire family, especially kids services, Good Work to assist with last wishes, Final Salute for well deserving military veterans, and Hospice House.
The Clermont Woman’s Club is a Federated Woman’s Club chartered in 1927. It is a non-profit service organization and by fundraising throughout the year, they can support international, national, and local charities. They meet on the first Tuesday of each month (September through May) at their clubhouse at 655 W. Broome Street and 7th Street, Clermont. For more information see www.clermontwomansclub.org.
