Somerville Hospital Ladies' Aid Association Welcomes Mayor Curtatone to Annual Luncheon

Somerville, MA…The Somerville Hospital Ladies' Aid Association kicked off its 117th year of fundraising with a luncheon at the Mount Vernon Restaurant on September 17th. The Association, which currently has 75 members, is a charitable volunteer organization that assists patients at Cambridge Health Alliance's Somerville Hospital campus.

Somerville Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone joined the celebration and apprised the group of progress being made throughout the city, including development at Assembly Square. Jan L. Cinganelli, President of the Somerville Hospital Ladies' Aid Association, thanked the members for their support of the Adolescent Assessment Unit and other areas at the Somerville Hospital campus. In total, the organization donated $20,000 last year.

The luncheon concluded with a ceremony honoring members with pins in recognition of their hours of volunteer service.
