The 40th year turned out to be the finest. Hospice of North Idaho hosted a successful sold-out soirée Feb. 1, raising an all-time best of more than $276,000 at the 40th annual Wine Taste and Auction at The Coeur d'Alene Resort. "It’s a new record for us," Hospice of North Idaho Executive Director Eric Ladwig said Thursday. ... "These are programs we don’t get any reimbursement from Medicare for," Ladwig said. "There's no mechanism for reimbursement other than community support." The annual event has seen increasing support year over year ... [for] Hospice of North Idaho, which has been providing end-of-life care and support services for the community for 44 years. Counting volunteers, attendees and sponsors, well over 400 people gathered for "The Secret Garden"-inspired evening, ... "It sold out three days before the event," Ladwig said.
