A rainbow of color sparked with smiles, is like a treasured pot of gold for hospital patients' days...
FRMC Charlie's Chaplains will soon begin cheering the patients twice monthly, scheduling Clown Rounds on alternating weeks. This new plan was recommended by several members of the hospital clown creative ministry team, voted on and unanimously approved by the membership at their recent Mid-Year Gathering.
