Last month, Rehoboth McKinley Christian Health Care Services organized and hosted a Valentine’s Day fundraiser for Battered Families Services at the Knights of Columbus Hall.
Guests got to enjoy a meal provided by the hospital’s Behavioral Health Services’s culinary staff and dance to music provided by Marvis Wynn, aka DJ Marvelous, a KGLP disc jockey.
Cassandra Lopez, administrative director for outpatient clinics at RMCHCS, reflected on the benefit dinner March 25.
“It was a lot of fun. We had probably about 50 to 60 people there,” she said. “We would have liked a better turnout, but what we had was great.”
She added she thinks a lot of people were happy to participate in the function and support Battered Families.
“We have a committee at RMCHCS that helps put these fundraisers together, so there’s a group of us that loves doing this,” she said. “That’s what we’re about, helping people and serving the community.”
Each week, RMCHCS adds another $150 to Battered Families through food sales and other various efforts.
“Battered Families Services is a great organization,” RMCHCS CEO David Conejo said March 25. “RMCHCS is committed to providing support to the battered families of Gallup and McKinley County and [I] look forward to their growth as a viable service organization.”
