COURT HOUSE – Edythe Edwards, of Cape May, NJ, has been named Cape Regional Medical Center’s “Special Touch Volunteer” for the fourth quarter of 2011. During her multi-shift assignment throughout the week, Edythe provides diligent service as a busy East Lobby Desk Volunteer. It has been a privilege to include Edythe on the volunteer roster since July, 2008. Since that time, she has contributed more than 2,000 hours of valuable volunteer service.
“I am extremely honored and overwhelmed,” stated Edwards. “I love volunteering. It is a source of fulfillment for me. I get as much as I give!”
Edythe is saluted by her peers as someone who is very committed and always willing to help as needed. This was evident by Edythe’s willingness in offering to join a team of her fellow volunteers who provided vital volunteer assistance during Hurricane Irene!
Edythe, and her late husband, Eric, were married for 18 years and have two children, Barbara Keyser and Robert Thompson. She is also the proud grandmother of four grandchildren. She loves living in the Cape May area with its nature and beaches. Prior to her retirement, Edythe was an Executive Secretary for more than 25 years. In her last position she worked for the Butler Board of Education in Butler, New Jersey. She was also a former volunteer at a North Jersey hospital.
On Tue., Oct. 18, Joanne Carrocino, FACHE, President and CEO, Thomas Piratzky, CRFE, Vice President of Public Relations and Marketing, and Julie Paolella, Director of Volunteer Services, joined Edythe’s fellow volunteers in honoring her with the presentation of the Volunteer of the Quarter Award. With brother, Jack, and sister-in-law, Susan, by her side, Edythe was presented with flowers, a Special Touch Volunteer pin, gift certificate and commemorative plaque.
Congratulations, Edythe, and thank you for your vital volunteer service!

Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
