“What do we live for, if it’s not to make life less difficult for each other?” George Elliot Annual Report 2013 2 message from the executive director Dear friends, TABLE OF CONTENTS President’s Message............. 4 Staff...................................... 5 Board of Directors................. 5 Highlights/Milestones.......... 6 Our Donors........................... 8 Financials............................ 24 Our Volunteers.................... 26 What a year this has been! Besides developing the Home Safe and Sound Initiative and expanding our service area and offerings, VINE’s staff invested a significant amount of time and energy planning and preparing for our new building which is due to open in late spring 2014. Throughout the course of this year, I was asked many times if I ever dreamed that VINE would grow so much. It’s probably a good thing that my earliest vision didn’t include raising millions of dollars to re-purpose a five-story building! Besides researching best practices for older adult centers, I’ve learned about such things as boilers and security systems, trash enclosures, and the finer details of bank financing. As I have done so, I am continually reminded that most every established organization, whether a hospital, a college, or non-profit, started small. Having had a taste of what’s all involved, I have a renewed respect for the visionaries and founders of such places. Most importantly, I am grateful to the business and construction professionals serving on the VINE Board and in the community who have guided this project throughout its development. Our fundraising efforts were significant in FY2013; grant writing, presentations, donor visits, and special events were all an important part of this past year. It’s a well-known fact that “fundraising” and “friend-raising” are closely connected. We are so pleased to sponsor and promote the efforts of the newly formed VINE Garage Band and XYZ Live, VINE’s premier theater troupe. Besides raising funds for our Capital Campaign, these talented age 55+ entertainers, along with the Summit Singers and Summit Stompers, are great ambassadors for positive aging as they spread VINE’s mission and goodwill throughout the community. 3 My thanks to each and every one of you who have supported VINE throughout the years. As you review the pages of this Annual Report, I hope that you will do so with a sense of gratitude. VINE continues to grow because of the contributions of thousands of people who believe in the importance of sharing their time, wisdom, and financial resources to improve the quality of life of their neighbors. As I reflect on VINE’s values, George Elliot’s words often come to mind. “What do we live for, it it’s not to make life less difficult for each other?” VINE’S MISSION STATEMENT VINE Faith In Action promotes quality of life and a culture of caring, sustained by volunteerism, community engagement and support for neighbors in need. Sincerely and gratefully, Pam Determan, VINE Executive Director VINE Voices at y Party St. Patrick’s Da ing Bethel Baptist youth help with building demolition s People to Job A furry friend at the Some Time Away respite PALs Exer cise Progra m VINE Home Thrift Store program 4 president’s message Dear friends, As a VINE volunteer and board member, I have seen the significant impact that VINE has on our community. The baby boomer generation continues to age, and VINE will be increasingly important in the years to come. One in four people will be over the age of 65 by 2030, and the need for services for this age group will continue to expand. Construction on the repurposed VINE Adult Community Center began in 2013 in order that VINE will be able to address the needs of our community now and in the future. VINE’s Adult Community Center will provide a place for adults in “midlife and beyond” to improve or maintain their physical health, socialize with peers, volunteer to help others, and access needed services. This will positively impact the way in which our community ages and will allow more people to maintain the highest level of health and independence. The work that is done and coordinated at VINE is unique; these services are not offered to this extent anywhere else in our state. The Minnesota Department of Human Services awarded the prestigious 2013 Service Odyssey Award to VINE in recognition of its promotion of its exemplary practices, services, and advocacy for elders, people with disabilities, and their communities. It has been my privilege to serve as the President of the VINE Board of Directors. VINE is blessed with hundreds of dedicated volunteers, excellent and highly skilled staff, committed Board members, and many generous donors who contribute to VINE’s mission to promote quality of life and a culture of caring, sustained by volunteerism, community engagement, and support for neighbors in need. Thank you for supporting VINE’s vision. With your continued help, the Greater Mankato area will be an even better place for each of us to age with the highest quality of life possible.

Through the Home Safe and Sound Program, aging adults and their caregivers receive assistance with home modifications, chores, and in-home and social model respite. 676 community members received help with one or more of these services this past year OCTOBER After raising the 1.7 million dollars required for essential building renovation, VINE presented $1.00 to Blue Earth County and officially purchased the Nichols Building. highlights and SEPTEMBER AUGUST VINE’s popular Some Time Away Respite Program was expanded to Messiah Lutheran Church in North Mankato and Wellspring Faith in Action in St. James. Trained volunteers, under the direction of VINE’s staff, engage aging adults with dementia and other progressive illnesses in fun and enriching activities while their family caregivers enjoy a well-deserved break. Senator Al Franken visited the VINE office to promote his sponsorship of legislation to reauthorize the Older American’s Act. He met with staff, volunteers, and care receivers and was very complimentary of our services and plans for the future. Debra Zellar joined VINE’s staff as Fiscal Manager. Debra is a Certified Public Accountant and brings many years of experience working in public accounting. VINE’s Annual Rake the Town service event was the largest ever. An estimated 850 volunteers from 64 groups helped 260 older homeowners with their fall yard work. Our thanks to Taco Johns for donating the chili for the luncheon at St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church. highlights and milestones NOVEMBER We are grateful to many groups and organizations that helped with interior demolition at the Nichols Building. Employees of Dotson Company, Taylor Fine Impressions, the Pork Producers Association, the Gustavus Men’s Tennis Team, and other volunteer groups contributed hundreds of hours of volunteer labor tearing out walls and recycling building materials. VINE’s talented entertainers, XYZ Live (Xtra Years of Zest), made their acting debut with five sell-out performances of Hot Rods and Poodle Skirts. All proceeds from this delightful 50s musical revue were designated to our Capital Campaign. milestones APRIL DECEMBER Sister, a talented trio of real life sisters who grew up in Hanska, returned to Mankato for a Holiday Show. We appreciate the hospitality extended to VINE by Hosanna Lutheran Church for this Capital Campaign fundraiser. JANUARY Over a hundred people attended a retirement party for Jim Kirschbaum and Darlene Schorn. We are grateful to these two good people for five years of service to VINE and the Summit Center. We are pleased that they will continue to help us as volunteers. During the winter months, VINE Board members and staff invested much time planning and raising funds for our new building. Volunteer groups regularly worked on interior demolition, salvaging of reusable parts, and recycling of other materials. The VINE Board of Directors selected R.W. Carlstrom Construction to serve as the General Contractor for repurposing the Nichols Building as the new VINE’s Adult Community Center. 7 We said goodbye and grieved the loss of Pat Matejcek, longtime employee and friend of VINE. During the decade she worked at VINE, Pat coordinated volunteers and services for aging adults living in rural Blue Earth County. She was passionate about helping others through her church and work as an associate chaplain at the hospital. MAY VINE continues to benefit from the goodwill of Patti Maes, event organizer of the 10 Kato Run and Walk. Hundreds of people turned out again this year for this annual Memorial Day event. Proceeds support VINE’s volunteer caregiving efforts.
