On Saturday, May 21, friends of Dorchester General Hospital will experience the elegance of a tropical luau while supporting services of the hospital. Beginning at 6:30 p.m., Dr. and Mrs. Michael Moran will host this fundraiser at their waterfront home in Trappe. The presenting sponsor is the Dorchester General Hospital Foundation.

The evening will include an island-style meal catered by Latitude 38 and dancing to the high energy music of Mike Hines and The Look. Silent and live auctions will add to the $60,000 fundraising goal that will help develop a palliative care suite for Dorchester General Hospital.

Jennifer Brant, PA-C, and Kathy Effron, RN, are co-chairing the DGH Luau planning committee. The other committee members are Kimberly Bair, RN; Alma Colburn; Rose Joyce; Rosa Mateo, MD; Lorrie Moran; Lois Narr, DO; Kirsten Strohmer; and Carey Willey, OD.

Tickets are $150 per person. To reserve your table at the Dorchester General Hospital Luau, call Debbie Gardner, 410-228-5511, ext. 5481.
