Gift shop volunteers ‘like the people’

By Holy Heßer Staff writer BREMEN You never know what you might find in the gift shop of Community Hospital of Bremen. Sure, there are the staple items like stuffed animals, greeting cards and candy. But there are also unique treasures around every comer, like the popular Willow Tree collection, Carson items, inspirational books, used books, quilted handbags, handmade "Angel" towels, candles, miniature plates, Christmas ornaments, nesting boxes, jewelry, toys and more. "We have a wide variety of gift selections," said Carolyn Nierste, long-time vQlunteer. While the unique merchandise is ever-changing, one thing remains the same the guaranteed smile customers will receive from behind the counter. The smiles are given out freely by Hospital Auxiliary members like Nierste who volunteer at the shop. "I like the people," Nierste. "I get to meet a lot of people and I get to see a lot of people I haven't seen in ages. It's a lot of fun." One of 15 regular volunteers at the gift shop, Nierste works every Thursday and fills in frequently when needed all without pay. "It keeps me out of trouble. Lord knows I need that," Nierste said. Joanie Gunterman, a Hospital Auxiliary volunteer who manages the 15 regular volunteers and 20 substitutes, said Nierste is a regular fixture at the gift shop. "She's a good one and everybody knows she'll come when they call," Gunterman said. "She does a lot of filling in." The Hospital Auxiliary manages the gift shop, passing along the profits to fund special projects at the hospital such as mammography units and baby basinetts.

PHOTO BY HOLLY HELLER Hospital Auxiliary volunteers Shirley Pomeroy, Joanie Gunterman and Carolyn Nierste show off a few of the many unique items available in the gift shop at Community Hospital of Bremen.

"All the profits support the hospital," said Shirley Pomeroy, another dedicated volunteer. She handles the bookkeeping for the shop and works with Gunterman to keep the shelves stocked. While many customers are in search of a gift for a patient, sometimes the patients are the ones looking to shop. "I've had patients with I.V.s coming down," Nierste said. Once, a volunteer worker even delivered a specific handbag to a patient in her room, after the patient was restricted from making the long trek to the gift shop for health reasons. The.gift shop draws from a much wider customer base than hospital patrons, though.

"A lot of people come from town because they like what we've got," Nierste said. The gift shop at the new hospital facility, which opened in March 2006, is a big improvement over the one at the previous building. There, the auxiliary worked out of a closet-sized space in an out-of-the-way location. "Here, they can see it when they walk in," Nierste said. "They're amazed at the upgrade. It's much larger and we 1 have a bigger variety. They really like the shop." The gift shop is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, as well as occasionally on weekends. "Come see all the goodies!" Nierste said.
