O U R M I S S I O NSaint Saviour’s Center is a community

outreach ministry that provides a home

for human service organizations and offers

health, wellness and recreational programs

for elderly and low-income residents of

Raleigh and Wake County.

O U R V I S I O NSaint Saviour’s Center is a vibrant place in

the Glenwood South community. It is Spirit

focused:

• A place where God’s energy fl ows and

people are nurtured

• A ministry centered on community,

meeting needs of the people

• A happening place for volunteers and

those we serve

• A focal point for congregations to get

involved and reach out to neighbors

was a whirlwind year at Saint Saviour’s

Center. Sandy Jordan, who in December completed two terms as Board Chairman, did a fabulous job guiding the Board through many challenges and changes. The rest of the Board joins me in thanking Sandy for his extraordinary leadership. I am grateful that I have stepped into a job that has been so well-managed, and I am excited about going forward into a new year.

We enter 2010 with high hopes and great aspirations. We have an energetic and knowledgeable Interim Executive Director, and we have added six capable new Board members. Our Program Committee is developing programs focused on better serving our evolving community, while Sylvia Harlen continues to expand our Health and Wellness Program. Our Buildings and Grounds Committee is working to build on the operational improvements of 2009. Our diligent Finance Committee has gained clarity regarding our fi nancial standing, and we are planning an exciting new spring event, focused on raising awareness of Saint Saviour’s Center among the businesses and newer residents of Glenwood South. In addition to all of this, we have updated and enhanced our mission statement.

I am particularly excited about that

mission statement. While our previous mission statement represented our intent, it lacked clarity and specifi cs

about what we do now. To roll out a strategic plan and vision for 2010, we needed to be very clear about the mission of Saint Saviour’s. A committee, comprised of Sandra Archer, Marion Church, Sharon Hayes, Sandy Jordan, and me, met to update the statement, and

in November the Board approved our recommendation.

“Saint Saviour’s Center is a community outreach ministry that provides a home for human service organizations and offers health, wellness and recreational programs for elderly and low-income residents of Raleigh and Wake County.”

I think that this new mission statement properly refl ects the duality of Saint Saviour’s mission. We act as a community outreach center, hosting other organizations, and we also administer our own programs, which are independent of our physical building. Both are important.

Saint Saviour’s Center is a special place where volunteers make a difference in people’s lives every day. 2010 will be an exciting year at Saint Saviour’s Center. We are always looking for more volunteers – join us!

SAINT SAVIOUR’S!

Celebrate ’s Celebrate Saint Saviour’s! – held Friday,

November 20th in the Martin Building

at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds – was a huge

success! “Around 200 people attended the event,” says

Christ Church’s Elaine Wood, Board member for Saint

Saviour’s. “The weather was perfect, the atmosphere lovely,

and the change in venue provided lots of parking.”

Celebrate Saint Saviour’s! serves as our annual

touchstone fundraising effort. “I am extremely pleased

that so many people came out and gave money, especially

given our current economy,” says event co-chair Kay

Leager. “This has been a very tough year for non-profi ts,

and the enthusiasm I have seen is wonderful.” Close to

$74,000 was given in support of this year’s gala. Leager

also adds that a lot of folks who believe in the mission

of Saint Saviour’s contribute even if they cannot

attend Celebrate Saint Saviour’s! “We are continuing

to accept donations,” says Leager. Leager, a member of

Christ Church, co-chaired the event with Kate Rivers of

St. Michael’s Church.

Christ Church’s J.B. Davis lent his voice and wit as the

event’s auctioneer, and 42nd Street Oyster Bar provided

steamed oysters, shrimp, barbecue and countless

trimmings. Music by The Moon & The Stars added

colorful ambience to the evening.

“Having worked at Wake Relief, I know how many

people benefi t from the program Saint Saviour’s offers,”

says attendee Austin Andrews. “It was great to see all the

support from the church members at the gala, and it is

inspiring to witness such strong community involvement

through donation of the items to be auctioned.”

Board chair Sandy Jordan of White Memorial heaped

praise on the dozens of volunteers who made Celebrate

Saint Saviour’s! such a great success. – By Philips Wood

C O M M I T T E E S

FINANCE Saint Saviour’s has seen many changes over the past twelve months, on the

fi nancial side as well as in other areas. We have witnessed increased reliance on the services offered at Saint Saviour’s, but although our client base is expanding, the resources available to support these services are proving more diffi cult to obtain. Operating in this diffi cult economic environment is a primary challenge for us. Consequently, we are seeking new avenues for revenue enhancement.

In 2009, we moved the fall fundraiser to a larger location. We expanded our donor base, and we actively encouraged participation from businesses in our immediate proximity. Our goal is to sustain ourselves in these tough times, and we hope that our association with many sources of support will achieve this objective.

Interim Executive Director Sharon Hayes has been instrumental in controlling costs, especially as these costs relate to building maintenance. Sharon has organized groups of volunteers to handle minor maintenance on the building, and this achievement has greatly reduced our repair expenses. We are thankful that she continues to monitor the fi nancial well-being of the center.

2010 brings great opportunity to build and develop our programs and services, as the need for our programs is increasing. Our success depends on involvement, both monetarily and in volunteerism from individuals, churches, and businesses. We look forward to meeting this challenge, and we appreciate your continued support.

COMMUNICATIONS We on the Communications Committee have worked for the past two years to

create a greater awareness of Saint Saviour’s Center. We have made a concerted effort to let people know who we are and what we represent. First, we produced a new logo which is used in all collateral material. Next we developed a new look for the newsletter, Good News, which goes out three or four times a year. An initial expansion of our mailing list helped our reach to grow even stronger. And for mission fairs and other presentation opportunities, we constructed a tri-fold display which visually tells the Saint Saviour’s story.

Next year, in conjunction with the organization of a Development Committee, we hope to generate a direct mail campaign. Highlighted by a new brochure, other collateral materials will include an annual report and holiday giving cards. Our plan is to focus more on cultivating relationships with North Carolina foundations and local congregations. Grant writing and foundation research are directions we are anxious to pursue.

If you are interested in serving on our Communications/Development Committee, please let us know. We welcome your expertise especially in the fi elds of non-profi t development, grant writing, marketing, advertising, and public relations. Contact Sharon Hayes or any member of the committee.

NOMINATING The job of the nominating

committee is to determine what vacancies are coming up on the Board of Directors, and to recruit capable and effective individuals to fi ll those slots. The committee tries to look not just at the number of places that will be vacant, but at the talents and committee placements that St. Saviour’s is likely to need in the upcoming year.

Chairman Sara Jo Manning and her committee have fi nished their work for the year 2010, and new members John Boylan and Mary Gulledge join the Board as of the January meeting. Sandra Archer and Bo Maddison voluntarily rotated off the board.

PROGRAMS The St. Saviour’s Program Committee is looking ahead to 2010, thinking about

ways SSC can implement its new Strategic Plan to reach out to the larger Glenwood South community while not losing sight of the special services we provide for our neighboring residence communities at Glenwood Towers and Carriage House.

Our regular group of six meets once a month at SSC with Sharon Hayes, and from time to time we invite others to join us -- Sylvia Harlen, perhaps, or other community leaders. Our sessions generally include a report from Sharon about current programming, and we combine that with informal brainstorming on how to add to or improve those efforts.

We are also a committee of hands-on volunteers. Our members lead the Center’s weekly Bible Study and quarterly parties for the Glenwood Towers and Carriage House residents. We lend a hand with other volunteer efforts on an ad-hoc basis. One of our goals is to lengthen the lists both of volunteer opportunities and people to fi ll those jobs. We are constantly looking at ways to facilitate and develop useful, meaningful programs that will maintain St Saviour’s place as a viable, valuable part of the Glenwood South neighborhood.

As we enter the building for our noon meetings, we see the faces of people SSC serves, some in their motorized wheelchairs, chatting with neighbors and exchanging friendly greetings, often fi nishing up their Meals on Wheels lunch.

We like this ongoing reminder that our ministry at SSC enriches the daily lives of so many!

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS MAINTENANCEAny parent who had small children during the early days of Sesame Street will

remember a short jingle that went: “Cooperation, makes it happen. Cooperation means working together!” In the case of buildings and grounds maintenance at Saint Saviour’s, cooperation between the Raleigh Housing Authority and Saint Saviour’s Center makes it happen. Under SSC’s lease, the Housing Authority is responsible for maintaining the structure of the buildings, including roof repairs and external painting, for mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems in the buildings, and for parking lot repair. Saint Saviour’s Center is responsible for routine maintenance and operation of the buildings and for repairs resulting from normal wear and tear. SSC strives to use a cost-effective combination of agreements with several service providers, an on-call repair service, and lots of volunteer effort to meet its responsibilities under the lease. From big issues we faced in the past year, such as retirement of the elevator and repair of the fi re alarm system, to small but important issues like making sure the grass is cut regularly and the leaves are blown, the level of cooperation between the Raleigh Housing Authority and SSC has been excellent, and it shows in the condition of our buildings and grounds.

Special thanks to Dave Simons for leading the Spring volunteer work day and for his weekly efforts to pick up litter and debris on the property, in addition to all of his other volunteer responsibilities at SSC. Thanks also to Christ Church for making an SSC work day part of their All Parish Service Day in November. The members of the SSC Building and Grounds Committee are Dave Simons, Philip Crawford, Emily Smith, Richard Barnes, Bryant Paris, Joseph Qubain, Bob Metz, John Purrington and John Monaghan.

Thank You“The Board of Directors would like

to acknowledge Sandra Archer and Bo Maddison for their service to Saint Saviour’s Center. Thanks for sharing your expertise, time and energy. We couldn’t have done it without you!”

“I respect your good hospitality. We share with others as a whole family. I will keep it in my mind for a long time.

Thank you.”

HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAM B Y S Y L V I A H A R L E N , R N , M A

he St. Saviour’s Center Health & Wellness Program embraces

a core concept of assisting the elderly and disabled with programs that maximize independence and improve quality of life. We focus on meeting the needs of these underserved populations in a manner that is consistent with their wishes, resources, and lifestyles.

In 2009, the Health & Wellness program provided to the residents of Capital Towers, Carriage House, and Glenwood Towers communities, as well as others who visit St. Saviour’s Center, 53 seminars on a variety of health, legal, and nutrition topics. Experts in their fi elds spoke on issues such as How To Handle Medical Bills When You Can’t Afford To Pay Them, Heart Disease, Cholesterol

Screening, Headache, Anxiety, and Diabetes. We offered one-to-one counseling on 2010 changes in Medicare and How To Know If You Have The Best Prescription Drug Plan.

We provided a fl u clinic that served 63 people, trips to the Farmers Market with each

participant receiving funds to purchase fruits and vegetables, a bus tour of the Oakwood Historical District with lunch, hearing testing, assistance in obtaining a free cell phone for anyone receiving Medicaid or food stamps, Healthy Aging Support Groups, and monthly blood pressure checks with a pharmacist consultation for any questions regarding prescription medication.

We expect 2010 to be a busy and exciting year as we expand into the surrounding community with new

programs. We have begun teaching basic health and nutrition classes to the Wake Tech ESL (English as a Second Language) students who study at St. Saviour’s, with the idea that no knowledge is more critical to student success than knowledge about health and nutrition. We are also exploring the concept of partnering with organic farmers to provide weekly home delivery of organic fruits and vegetables to our community neighbors.

As the need for resources to assist our population grows, we will need your help! We invite you to join us in increasing the ways that we can be of service to the aging and disabled community. Please feel free to call Sylvia Harlen, RN, MA, Community Health Nurse, at 833-6400, ext. 223 to discuss any questions or suggestions that you may have.

F R O M T H E D I R E C T O R S H A R O N H A Y E S

reetings! As I begin my second year at Saint Saviour’s Center, I want to say thanks

to everyone who came forward and made a difference in 2009. It was a transforming year for the center, and we’re now ready to move forward with our mission. I also want to share with you two events that illustrate why I believe outreach ministry is so important.

During Thanksgiving week, Wake Tech ESL students had an assignment to write what they were thankful for. On the last day of class, the students assembled and invited me to attend. When I entered the room, one of the teachers asked the students to share what they had written. Each one took a turn and read, “I am thankful for God, my family, my teachers, Saint Saviour’s Center, my friends, my health…” The list went on and on. One young woman said she was grateful that her mother was with her this year, because last year they could not be together. As I listened, my heart began to melt and tears came to my eyes. Then the

teacher asked me what I was grateful for. At that very moment I was grateful to God for leading me to this place. I was grateful for the teachers, for each student and for the people who came before us – those who had a vision for

Saint Saviour’s and who brought it to life. At the end of the session, the students gave me a poster-sized thank-you card for Saint Saviour’s that they had made. It now hangs on the wall in my offi ce, along with a group photo of the entire class, as a reminder of gratitude.

Last summer some ladies who attend Meals on Wheels lunches at Saint Saviour’s organized a knitting and crochet group. As they began stitching, generous donations of yarn came in from members of Christ Church, White Memorial and the community. By September, the ladies had recruited more members and were making lots of scarves, hats and other items. They wrote a mission statement and set a goal for the group. Their goal was to make enough items to deliver

to nursing homes before Christmas. They met their goal and delivered over 40 hand-made scarf and hat sets, lap throws, and yarn dogs (all wrapped in Christmas paper*) to activity directors at Sunnybrook Health Care and Capital Nursing and Rehab Center. The directors were very appreciative, and they assured the ladies the gifts would be handed out on Christmas Eve to residents who might not have family or presents this year.

If you have ever given to Saint Saviour’s Center, I want to say thank you. Whether you had a vision to help start the center, scrubbed and cleaned, volunteered or donated in any capacity, your contribution has gone far beyond your own generosity. Through your gifts, God works with others to extend a hand to those in need. My hope is that together we will continue serving for many years to come. If I can help you fi nd your place at Saint Saviour’s, please give me a call.

*Thanks to Christ Church for wrapping the gifts during All-Parish Service Day.

Julie Nau is a remarkable

woman with unlimited energy.

She skis, plays tennis and takes

line dancing lessons. Luckily

for Saint Saviour’s, she is also

the most familiar face at Wake

Relief.

Julie’s association with Wake

Relief goes back many years. She has served

on its board, and headed its church alliance,

agency review and food drive committees. She

also took a “break” from those duties a few

years ago to co-chair the entire ministry for

two years. During that time, she re-engineered

the way Wake Relief acquires food, resulting

in a 30% savings in total food costs, and also

initiated and strengthened a series of partner-

ships with several churches. What was once a

network of only two churches is now a collab-

orative effort, taking advantage of the talents

of many Raleigh congregations. As part of her

duties as chairman, Julie made a point of help-

ing on nearly every shift–she

even photographed each shift of

volunteers and used the photos

to recognize each volunteer on

his or her birthday.

As you might imagine, Julie is

both respected and loved by her

colleagues at Wake Relief. Here

are a few of their comments:

“She never asks more of you (us) than she’s

willing to give and her sense of humor always

makes working with her fun.”

“She doesn’t believe that she’s doing any-

thing so wonderful or special when she gives of

herself – she believes that’s what we all can do,

simply responding to Christ in the face of each

person we meet.”

Julie stepped down as chairman last May

but continues to volunteer and serve on the

board with undiluted passion. St. Saviour’s

is a better place because of Julie Nau. She is

indeed a shining saint!
