Art While You Wait

Fertile Visions: Paintings by Marion Line
Southside Community Hospital Main Lobby, 800 Oak Street, Farmville
Art While You Wait, the brainchild of David Dodge Lewis, chair of the
Membership Council, brings art into the regional hospital, Southside
Community Hospital. Conceived several years ago, the program is finally
ready for implementation. The purpose of the program is to have meaningful,
inspiring works of art on display so that visitors waiting for loved ones
can take their mind off their concerns, if only for a few minutes, to enjoy
the beauty and healing power of art. Printed materials about the art and the
LCVA will accompany the works. How many times has each of us been to a
hospital and craved something more to read? It is also a way to let the
community know more about the LCVA and its many programs and opportunities.

The first exhibition will be Fertile Visions: Paintings by Marion Line
(1919-1999). Given to the LCVA in 2000 by Lloyd E. Line, Jr., the works
embody the spirit of charming Virginia landscapes throughout the seasons and
memories associated with growing up in the rural atmosphere (such as picking
apples, hanging laundry out to dry, and dyeing Easter eggs) through brightly
colored scenes painted in a folk art style. Marion Line's work is
particularly apt for the hospital because she came to painting late in life
as a method of coping with pain associated with debilitating arthritis.
Line's paintings will be exhibited in the main lobby of the hospital through
the summer of 2007.

Meals on Wheels/SCOPE

Mission

SCOPE/Meals On Wheels provides balanced, nutritious meals to the elderly, disabled, or homebound who have no reliable means of obtaining their daily food requirements. Our caring volunteers help alleviate the sense of isolation and worry of clients and observe their physical condition. In cooperation with the community and county agencies, we identify those in need of these services. The Meals on Wheels program results improved the nutritional status for our clients of various socioeconomic backgrounds and provides regular contact with the community.

Meals are prepared at SCH.

For more information on meal delivery, or to volunteer, call 434.392. 8797.
