FAMILY HOUSE www. FamilyHouseInc.org Spring-Summer 2007 “Amazed and Relieved” ONE FAMILY’S EXPERIENCE AT FAMILY HOUSE W hen we were at the hospital awaiting our adopted child’s birth, we did not know that Samuel was going to be born with spina bifida. So within a matter of hours our world changed. We were headed to San Francisco to be present with our new baby, who would have to spend several weeks in the UCSF Intensive Care Nursery. We did not know anyone in the city and were not sure where to stay. Very early on, our social worker informed us about Family House. We were amazed and relieved to find a place like this. The staff was friendly and the facility was nice and clean with all the needs we could think of. There are many occasions when we just stop and think of how much of a blessing it has been to have Family House available. It has helped relieve our worries and allowed us to focus on our …we just stop and think of son, learning about spina bifida and how much of a blessing it has adjusting to a new life as adoptive parents been to have Family House of a child with special needs. available… As I researched the history of Family House, in order to share with friends and family, I came across its mission, which is to serve children with cancer and other life threatening-illnesses and their families by providing physical comforts and emotional support, free from financial concerns. Its facilities consistently provide comfortable, clean, and safe living arrangements that meet my family’s physical needs. By offering this living arrangement free of charge, our financial concerns are met. We feel that Family House is exactly that, a home away from home. Our emotional needs are also met as we have the opportunity to interact with other families enduring hardships and with a staff that is good at listening and being sensitive to our needs. I would like to thank all those sponsors that donate so generously to Family House for seeing the importance of these facilities. They help families like mine to focus on our …we have the opportunity to child and not the other details. Family House is doing a great job at fulfilling their interact with other families mission. I also would like to thank the enduring hardships… volunteers that help at the houses. It is always special when a nice picture is posted on our door during the holidays from local schools, or when a meal or dessert is freshly baked and available for the families to enjoy. There is so much kindness shown; Family House and its staff are making a difference in the lives of families. Thank you so much. With gratitude, Mark, Janell, and Samuel Colosio Janell and baby Samuel at Family House SAVE THESE DATES!

Prior to joining the staff at Family House, Neff was Director of Development at St. Raphael’s School, Director of Special Events for CYO, and an active parent at Marin Catholic. She and her husband, Lou, reside in Marin County. Their son, Jason, attends Villanova, which will win the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship next year. Alexandra Morgan with board member George Eberle and outgoing board chair, Tay Via Dear Family House Community, I am delighted to update you on a wonderful, eventful year at Family House. We continue to operate both facilities at 95%, and work closely with UCSF Children’s Hospital to house as many families as possible every night of the year. The spring of 2006 marked the 25th anniversary of continual operation of our facilities. The occasion was abundantly planned and celebrated by event co-chairs and Family House cofounders, Debbie and Art Ablin at our annual dinner celebration at the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Many past board members attended who have served and supported Family House since 1981. It was an honor to be in the company of people who have nurtured Family House, and the children and families who stay with us, for so many years. In February we hit another milestone: the 2007 Cabernet for Connoisseurs annual wine auction raised over $300,000 thanks to event chair, Neil Aldoroty, and his intrepid event committee: Dick Grace, Bill Shea, Dan Toney, George Eberle, Adorean Boleancu, Mike Dowling, and honoree Debbie Zachareas. Thank you, all! I would especially like to thank Tay Via, our spectacular Board Chair for her three years of outstanding leadership and service as she steps down. Under Tay’s direction, services to families have increased, the Board of Directors has grown in depth and breadth, the organization professionalized, income has tripled, our two buildings have gone through significant improvements, and endowment and staff have grown. However, these are not the greatest measures of what Tay has given to Family House: she has sat barefoot in a business suit at Ocean Beach with staff while we memorialized children we’ve lost; she’s spoken on behalf of Family House to anyone who would listen from board rooms to whacky events; she’s the number one cheerleader at our events, encouraging bidders to raise their paddles with abandon, and she is devoted to our families. In short, Tay has brought wisdom, humor and kindness along with powerful leadership skills into the lives of our families, staff, board colleagues and donors; she’s brought us from what we were by making us understand what we could be. Thank you, Tay, for making Family House a better place for all. I join our Board of Directors in welcoming Kathleen Toney as the new Board Chair of Family House. Kathleen’s husband, Dan, was on the founding Board of Directors of Family House, and they have been friends of Family House ever since. They are committed to helping our families whose challenges they know firsthand. I could not be more thrilled or luckier to work with two such fine people as Tay and Kathleen.

GARABALDI’S RESTAURANT klmnopx T wo years ago, Family House board member Jim McPartlin was having dinner at Garibaldi’s restaurant when he spotted owner, John Hurley. They struck up a conversation, which ended with John Hurley’s offer to do something meaningful for Family House. Since then, Chef Daniel Martes, has lovingly prepared countless, delicious meals for our families each week. During the holidays, Daniel really steps up to the “plate” to make Family House holiday parties as welcoming and delicious as a home cooked meal. Whether it’s caesar salad or chicken pasta alfredo, our families are welcomed back from the hospital with a delicious meal waiting, thanks to Hurley and Martes. Volunteer, Maureen Healy, picks up the meal and delivers it to Family House every week. We thank these three special volunteers and definitely count them among our blessings! TRIAGE CONSULTING GROUP T riage Consulting Group is one of our most enthusiastic community partners. “Triage” provides financial consultation services to hospitals and has been named among the top 50 Best Small and Medium Companies to Work for in America for the last three consecutive years. We know why. In order to combine a progressive work environment with community service, Triage has teamed up with Family House on project after project to enhance the experience our families have by making the house more beautiful and comfortable. Each year to honor the opening of their company, Triage celebrates “Founder’s Day,” when the company shuts down to volunteer at non-profits throughout the City. Their first project at Family House was an “Extreme Makeover” for six of our ten bedrooms at 50 Irving Street, and this was just the beginning! In May 2006 Triage exercised one of their five guiding principles, FUN, when they produced a Casino Night benefiting Family House. The evening was so successful that Triage renovated the remaining Irving Street bedrooms in need of help, creating a welcoming feel to the house with vibrant color schemes, new furniture, and beautiful artwork. Fortunately, Triage employees love Family House as much as we love them! A Triage team of volunteers sold raffle Chef Daniel Martes of Garibaldi’s, located at 347 Presidio Avenue in San Francisco. DZ1GMCX tickets at the 2006 San Francisco Magazine ’s Best of the Bay event benefiting Family House. With their bright smiles and enthusiastic personalities, the crowd was WOW’d and purchased a record amount of tickets! The year ended with twenty volunteers coming to our 10th Avenue house with food and talented chefs to provide a festive holiday meal for families from both houses. This year Triage continues to be our dream maker. At our Cabernet for Connoisseurs event in February, Triage volunteers did whatever was needed, from pouring wine to selling raffle tickets (we know they can sell tickets!). Once again, they got the job done in style. Triage will host a second Casino Night in April with the hopes of renovating three living rooms at Irving Street. We know their team will produce another outstanding event, turning the time, effort and love that they put into the party into care, comfort and community for our families. The staff, Board Members and families that stay at Family House are in awe of the wonderful volunteers at Triage Consulting Group. We would like to thank Lisa Anderson, who has been the liaison that links us together in a beautiful partnership. Family House loves Triage Consulting Group!

We have been blessed to work with an abundance of hardworking San Francisco corporate, church, school and independent groups. Many groups have found their way to us through HOBA (Hands on Bay Area). HOBA creates, manages and Children’s Place — The Disney Store Levi Strauss leads volunteer projects that benefit more than 300 Bay Area nonprofit agencies by partnering them with corporations that want to support their employees in giving back to the communities where they work and live. Among those who have helped keep us in good shape through “Done in a Day” projects are Charles Schwab & Co., Gap McKesson Corporation Great Exchange Covenant Church Inc., McKesson Corporation, Disney Store’s Children’s Place, and Levi Strauss & Co. Family House is better because of the love, support and commitment of these companies. Corporate projects include prepping and painting bedrooms, bathrooms and common areas, gardening, deep-cleaning and other Tzu Chi Foundation The Gap chores. This kind of help is invaluable to us! The Tzu Chi Foundation, a Buddhist Compassion group, helps out with monthly gardening, preparing nutritious meals throughout the year and with holiday dinners. Great Exchange Covenant Church joined the Family House volunteer roster when a member of the church and our neighbor called about preparing a special dinner for our families. Twenty volunteers showed up an not only prepared a delicious meal, but made sure that there were leftovers. What a treat! They, too, support our holiday celebrations. Not to be outdone by other faith groups Emanu-El sends teens to Family House monthly, where they provide a monthly meal and help out with holiday dinners. The pre-school teachers at Congregation Emanul-El ran a toy drive among their students and donated canned goods during the holidays. Two groups of developmentally disabled adults, ARC and WorkLink serve Family House on a weekly basis. We are so fortunate to have their loving spirits working hard to keep our houses clean and tidy. High school students from Convent of the Sacred Heart and Stuart Hall have been to Family House using their young energy to deep clean bedrooms, organize canned food shelves and toy closets. Family House thanks all of the GROUPS that offer their love, time, and talent to our families!
