Some of the deficit will be made up in grants and foundation support, Whitlock said. The organization is trying to find ways to help the auxiliary remain engaged with CHC. “They have enormous brain power and passion and ability,” she said. But the auxiliary has seen its numbers diminish. “Years ago, they were humon- gous,” Chanteloup said. Now, 125 to 150 people comprise the group. The diminishing number, like rising lease costs, are a product of the times and reflect how people use their time, Whitlock said. “They can’t re-populate (the group). Their daughters are working full time,” she said. So the organization is strategiz- ing. Perhaps there will be a raffle and auction that will involve the auxiliary, she said.
