I want to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who attended our recent Summer Weekend Wind Down Dueling Pianos event on July 26 at The Venue on Church Street. Approximately 300 people enjoyed local cuisine from Cuero Pecan House and piano entertainment by the Piano Punch duo from Austin. As promised, the evening was filled with great music, big laughs and pure enjoyment. Special thanks to the staff from the Cuero Pecan House for providing a wonderful spread and excellent service. In addition to the great music, we received compliments from almost everyone on how delicious the food was! New this year was the Old Stogie Company Mobile Cigar Lounge, which really elevated our event. We appreciate their partnership and support. Given the tremendous support and feedback, we look forward to continuing Dueling Pianos as an annual event in downtown Cuero! — Nikki Lantz, DeWitt Medical Foundation Spotlight on our Stars Star Name: Irma Ahrens Star Dept.: Clinic Lab “Irma is always in the best mood! Always has a smile and always greets the patient with a smile or a hug. We need more employees like her!” —C. Watson Star Name: Audrey Woytek Star Dept.: Med Surgery “Audrey always goes above and beyond. Patient didn’t know how to contact family and Audrey investigated to track down the patient’s family to let them know the patient was in the hospital.” —Sheila Yancey, RN
