Nicole Koester (left) and Gretchen Sundius. On December 9, the Garden City Chapter of the Children’s Medical Fund held its annual Membership Tea at the beautiful home of Mrs. Barbara Runac. The event was a wonderful way to share the holiday spirit by slowing down and spending time with many of the wonderful people that work endlessly throughout the year to raise funds to support the Schneider Children’s Hospital. If you are interested in finding more out about this worthwhile charity and the chapter’s upcoming events, contact Gretchen Sundius at 516-248-9515. Schneider Children’s Hospital in New Hyde Park is a division of the North Shore, LIJ Health Network.
