As a fun way for members to “meet & greet” their fellow volunteers, Service League of Greenville 2nd Vice President Danette Pugh has been finding creative disguises to chat up randomly selected members during our monthly meetings…
Service League of Greenville President Annelle West looks on as “Pilgrim” Danette draws the names of the lucky “winners”…
SLG members Joan Giordano and Teresa Warren give each other moral support as the questioning chatting begins…

We had a great turnout for our first fall blanket workshop this year! Service League of Greenville members made 19 colorful hand-tied blankets and delivered them to Vidant Patient and Family Experience, who will gifted them to Vidant patients.
These workshops are always a wonderful way to connect with our fellow members and show individual Vidant patients how much we care.
Thank you to all the members who participate in and donate to this worthy project!

Quick meals are in high demand at The Ronald McDonald House located inside the James and Connie Maynard Children’s Hospital at Vidant Medical Center (near the pediatric units).
When a child is sick and receiving medical attention, the last thing families need is the added stress of worrying about how or where to grab something quick and nutritious to eat without having to leave the building where their child is being treated. Fortunately, the Ronald McDonald House provides a 2,500 sq.ft. common area with kitchen, laundry, and shower facilities, a playroom and other home-like amenities.
But, keeping the pantry full is an ongoing challenge.
During our October meeting, the Service League of Greenville held a last minute “Quick Meal Drive” to help the Ronald McDonald House restock their quick meals pantry. We are pleased to say, our members exceeded expectations:
Helping to unload the Service League of Greenville’s quick meal donations are RMH Eastern NC’s Director of Development, Hanna Caton, and Executive Director, Meghan King Woolard.
A huge thank you to all the SLG members who participated and gave so generously!

As we start our 80th year, we took a moment during our October meeting to look back to our founding ladies and thrift shop beginnings, to the source of our inspiration and focus — Dr. Laughinghouse, and, to the emblem of our aspirations — our Service League of Greenville seal.
Service League of Greenville member Gigi Walter gave a moving re-enactment of founding member Jesse R. Moye as she addressed members on October 2, 1939 to present and explain the meaning behind the seal she designed.
“… A torch of service to guide our feet. A compass, in its form the likeness of a star, a star of hope, a star of faith, to guide our direction… ”
