WMC and the WMC Auxiliary recently received donations totaling $1100 from the Weir High School Class of 1946 in memory of a beloved classmate. Weir 1946 graduate Perry Lazich organized the effort to raise funds in memory of late classmate Alice Miser with the help of classmate Betty Virtue. Alice was a long-time member of the WMC Auxiliary so Lazich and his classmates got together to honor her memory. A plaque was placed in the WMC Gift Shop, which is operated by the Auxiliary, to honor Mrs. Miser. Her daughter Alison Kramer was in attendance to celebrate the honor bestowed on her mother. Lisa Conti, Executive Vice president of WMC was on hand to accept the donation along with Sondra Weigel, President of the WMC Auxiliary. Conti’s late mom, Louise Enrietti, was also a member of the Weir High School Class of 1946. “I hope this encourages other local high school classes and groups to come together after seeing this to support our hometown hospital,” said Lazich.
