“This event will give us exposure in NYC and the Tri-State Area,” says Bandremer. “If I can give someone the comfort to call Hospice for a loved one or learn about us in the two minutes that I am speaking, then I have done my service.”

“You never know who is in the audience and it doesn’t hurt to talk about the good work that we do at this wonderful organization,” says Bandremer.
