In a special tea celebrating the 40th anniversary of Friends of Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt, past presidents and current leaders of the organization were honored for their longstanding dedication to the hospital. The volunteer organization supports Children’s Hospital through fundraising, community awareness and services to patients and their families. Here, the first president of Friends, Libby Werthan, right, looks at minutes from the group’s first meeting in 1972 with current president-elect Lynn Ghertner, left, and Lynne Rosenblum.
