2012 NCMS Alliance 89th Anniversary
Annual Fund for Mother's Day
Each spring the NCMS Alliance provides its members the opportunity to honor the special women in our lives, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters or friends, with a contribution to the North Carolina Medical Society Alliance Annual Fund. Your contribution enables the Alliance to continue to fund programs and projects that support the Family of Medicine and advance the health of North Carolinians.
This year’s unique card was designed by the daughter of Dr. Patrick and Beverly Wright from Greensboro. Sarah Ellen Wright will graduate in May 2013 from Meredith College with a B.A. in Theatre, with a concentration in Production and a minor in Fashion Design. We are very happy Sarah took the time from her studies to do this in support of the NCMS Alliance Annual Fund.
Thank you for your support of the NCMS Alliance Annual Fund and Happy Mother’s Day to all!
