Beehives Help Heart Patients

About 2 months ago, in a Beehive class planning meeting, Kendi Hansen proposed a service project. She mentioned that her mom, who works as a CNA at Dixie Regional Medical Center, would like to start a video library to benefit long term patients in the hospital’s cardiac care unit. The girls were excited and created a handout explaining the project and asking members of the Bloomington 7th Ward to donate pre-viewed or new DVD's. The young women subsequently collected 4 boxes of videos and DVD’s in 2 months. On Sunday, Oct. 4, a delegation of 3 Beehives, including Elizabeth Larson (daughter of Aaron and Rebecca), Kendi Hansen (daughter of Stacy Sappington Foote) and Aspen Erskine (daughter of Jerry and Lorraine), accompanied by Karin Smith, one of their leaders, delivered the collection of more than 50 films to the hospital.
