UKIAH – Victoria (Vicky) Howard and her husband Jeff have recently given a $500 donation to the Mendocino College Foundation to be used for nursing scholarships.


Howard, a graduate of the Mendocino College RN Program in May, was a scholarship recipient during her time as a student.


“That meant so much,” Victoria Howard said. “Hopefully this donation will mean as much to someone else and will ultimately help them to decide to donate when they are able.”


According to Howard, she believes in paying it forward as a reason for her donation.


“The Mendocino College nursing program changed my life for the better in many ways and I want to thank the nursing program faculty and staff for their encouragement during my time as a student,” Howard said.


Howard recently passed her licensing examination and is now a registered nurse. She will begin work at Frank R. Howard Memorial Hospital in Willits in the near future.


She relocated to the Ukiah area from Castro Valley because of the nursing program.


“Vicky was always a positive force in her nursing classes. She will be an excellent R.N. and Howard Hospital is very lucky to have chosen her to work for them. Her donation is very generous and goes to show her spirit of caring,” Mendocino College Nursing Program Director Dr. Barbara French said.

LAKEPORT – Have you ever wondered how you came to be where you are today and what you can do to take back your personal power for your own happiness?


Sutter Lakeside Hospital will host an educational series entitled “Introduction to the Four Agreements,” which is based on the book “The Four Agreements” and other Toltec teachings of don Miguel Ruiz.


The Four Agreements state: 1) Be impeccable with your word; 2) Don’t take anything personally; 3) Don’t make assumptions; 4) Always do your best.


Although the agreements are simple truths, they are not always easy to put into practice. Participants will work together to master these agreements and learn to live them in their daily lives.


“Introduction to the Four Agreements” will be taught by Helen Turley and Norb Yates, former apprentices of don Miguel Ruiz.


Using the tools found in the Toltec teachings, Turley and Yates have found happiness and freedom in life by freely giving to others based on their respect and love for themselves and life as a whole.


Both Turley and Yates live in Lakeport and continue to study Toltec teachings today.


The five-class series will be on the first and third Monday nights of the month, starting on Sept. 21 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.


The series will take place at the Sutter Lakeside Hospital Healing House, just east of the main hospital building.


The fee for the class is $30 which includes all five sessions. A 50-percent discount is available for current SLH Wellness Center Members.


To register for the class or for more information, please call the SLH Wellness Center at 707-262-5171. Classes fill up quickly, so reserve your space today.


If you have a question for Turley or Yates, please contact them at 707-262-1721, This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , or visit their web site at www.twotoltecs.com .
