Every year, the Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation does a wonderful thing. They give a terrific party in honor of all the kind hearted hosts of the upcoming dinner parties held before the Valentine Ball.  This year was no exception and the party was held in the beautiful home of Ty and Marc Reichel for more than 70 hosts. What’s remarkable about this party is the incredible gourmet food that is served and it is cooked by the chefs at the hospital. Plus other hospital chefs were brought in from as far away as Augusta, Ga. After all, the chefs were all trained in fine culinary schools before going into hospital work.  Their skills are on the level with the finest restaurants.  Many thanks to them for all their hard work and thanks also to the volunteers who make the Valentine Ball Beaufort’s biggest charity event of the year.
