Please join us in celebrating St. Joseph Mercy Saline Hospital's 50th anniversary. This year's Dinner at Eight, presented by Anesthesia Associates of Ann Arbor, recognizes the Hospital's ongoing service to the community. The 2009 Dinner at Eight will be held on Saturday, January 24, at Travis Pointe Country Club. We hope you will join us for this premier event to kick-off the New Year and benefit an important resource in our community - St. Joe's Saline.

Proceeds from the event will support the addition of the Community Health Pavilion at the Hospital, redefining health care in our community. The transformation will be marked by a new front entrance to improve access to all of the hospital's key services including inpatient, surgery and emergency. The Pavilion will house a new Community Room, improved family space and the state-of-the-art Imaging Center for remarkable medicine and remarkable care close to home. We are asking for your support of this important addition to St. Joseph Mercy Saline Hospital by joining us at Dinner at Eight. Our goal for this year is $100,000.

Guests who reserve their tickets by January 1 will receive an invitation to attend the exclusive pre-party January 8, 2009, at the elegant Mélange Subterranean Bistro/Wine Bar in downtown Ann Arbor.

We feel honored to be leading this important event and hope that you will join in our excitement by supporting the new Community Health Pavilion. Your commitment will help to promote this vital project and ensure that St. Joe's Saline - the hospital that our community has relied on for 50 years - continues to grow and offer excellent care far into the future. If you have any questions, please call Special Events Manager Susan Hammersmith at 734-712-8684. Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you on January 24!

Sincerely,
