HOST COMMITTEE It is my sincere pleasure to welcome you to St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center’s 42nd Haute with Heart Fashion Show & Luncheon: Dreaming of Style. This event pays tribute to our students at St. Madeleine’s – adults who have developmental disabilities. Our students, through the programs at St. Madeleine’s, are empowered to reach their full potential and live fulfilling lives. I invite you to join me for a wonderful afternoon of entertainment, fashion, and celebrating our students’ many achievements and be a part of supporting the programs and services of St. Madeleine’s. You help us make the difference in not only our student’s lives but also their family’s lives. St. Madeleine’s gives everyone involved in caring for an adult with a developmental disability the peace of mind that their relative is in a safe place, being taught new things, developing friendships and living a full life. I have friends who have adult children at St. Madeleine’s and I have seen them grow and thrive through the programs over the years which brings them so much joy. I am especially delighted that St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center is honoring the Grossmont Healthcare District for their continued support. Since 2014, Grossmont Healthcare District has granted funds to St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center to be able to have a full-time nurse on campus, a much needed position in any school environment. Heartfelt recognition and thanks to our host of sponsors, vendors and underwriters and the dedicated staff who have made it possible to present our 42nd Haute with Heart Fashion Show & Luncheon. Dee Ammon, Honorary Chair Honoring : GROSSMONT HEALTHCARE DISTRICT St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center honors Grossmont Healthcare District (GHD) at the 42nd Haute with Heart Fashion Show. Through a grant, GHD continues to fund a full-time registered nurse to be on campus and has been doing so since 2014. The Grossmont Healthcare District is a public agency that supports health-related community programs and services in East County. The District formed in 1952 to build and operate Grossmont Hospital. It serves as landlord of Sharp Grossmont Hospital and owns the property and buildings on behalf of East County taxpayers. The district is governed by a five-member board of directors who represent more than 500,000 people residing within 750 square miles.
