In the mountains

Erin Asprec, Suzie Johnson, Scott Seligman, Jim and Nancy Gordon, Nina Hendee, Edd Hendee, Anne Neeson, Will and Elizabeth Galtney, Audrey White, Amalia Stanton, and Matthew White escaped the Houston heat and enjoyed time in Aspen, Colo. at a celebration for the Memorial Hermann Foundation. This was the third annual event in the mountains for Memorial Hermann Health System donors and friends, highlighting the work of Memorial Hermann Life Flight. More than 150 guests joined hospital leaders and kicked off the event at a cocktail reception. A string quartet of students from Aspen Music Festival entertained the group while they enjoyed blood-orange rosaritas and beautiful mountain views. Memorial Hermann executives Anne Neeson, Dr. David Callender, and Dr. Jamie McCarthy welcomed and thanked supporters, and gave an update on Life Flight operations and service to the community. The celebration continued the following morning with brunch at the Garden at Hotel Jerome, hosted by Melissa Juneau and Leticia Trauber, who was represented by her daughter Lexi Trauber. Before heading home, guests received a gilded Aspen leaf ornament in honor of trees donated by Memorial Hermann Foundation that will be planted at the Aspen School District campus.
