FLOWER OF CARMEL BENEFIT

BREAKS RECORDS

FOR LOURDES-NOREEN MCKEEN RESIDENCE

PALM BEACH, Fla. (December 1, 2011) – It was truly a “divine” evening on Nov. 18 as the Carmelite Sisters hosted the sixth annual Flower of Carmel Benefit to support the Lourdes-Noreen McKeen Residence. A record number of board members, supporters and residents of the nonprofit retirement community attended the elegant dinner-dance at The Beach Club in Palm Beach to help raise funds for planned renovations to the waterfront facility and the programs and services offered there.

Veronica and Dr. Richard C. Bauer served as the co-chairs for this year’s annual fundraiser, and Cathy Flagg and Charlie Henderson were the honorary chairs.

“This was one of the most successful years in the event’s history, which speaks volumes about the overwhelming support and commitment we have from the community,” said Veronica Bauer. “It was a privilege to have so many guests with us that have been touched by the organization’s personal warmth and compassion. As a board member and long-time supporter of Lourdes-Noreen McKeen, I take great pride in the fact that every resident is treated like a member of the family and is shown the type of love and care that they would receive at home.”

In addition to the chairmen, notable guests at the benefit included Lourdes-Noreen McKeen Residence Administrator Sister Mary Anne Dennehy; president of the board Sister Anthony Veilleux; vice president of the board James Daly and his wife, Denise; Meg and Jack Toner; board member Martin Purcell and his wife, Connie; Sarah and Frank Olson; Jamie and Scott Murray; and Mary and Bob Simses.

Lourdes-Noreen McKeen Residence, located along Flagler Drive in downtown West Palm Beach, offers independent and assisted living accommodations, as well as skilled nursing and short-term rehab care. Founded in 1960 by the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm, the facility is committed to providing the very best care and an unmatched nurturing environment to their residents.
