A Message from the President
By Barry Burkholder
The best yet! That is how many of
our patrons described the Landfall
Foundation’s presentation of Commedia
Dell’ Arte. Their comments focused
on this year’s formula, that included
cocktails under the tent followed by
a strolling dinner and topped off
with professional entertainers and
a successful live auction.
Everyone enjoyed having more space to
move about and the opportunity to greet
new faces to Landfall. The creative
atmosphere for this year’s Gala was
the inspiration of Janet Burkholder,
who chaired the event, and her very
able co-chairs Shirley Heusel and
Carol Cunningham.
More than 60 individuals comprised
the Gala committee, which were in
turn led by various committee chairs.
Sandy Murphy again arranged the outstanding dinner offerings working with
Kevin O’Connell, Charles Rousey, the
Country Club of Landfall (CCL) staff
and the participating

chefs. The dynamic duo of Gus and
Martha Bachman secured our live
auction items and “whirlwind” Nancy
Carrier orchestrated the silent auction.
Chris Farley handled invitations with
Bob Gera providing the attractive
artwork for the cover of the invitation.
Maggie Earley won the drawing contest
with her artwork that graced the program. Avery Wilmeth was responsible
for publicity and communications.
Shirley Heusel had a dual role in chairing decorations and coordinating the
beautiful autographed masks. Unique
this year was that each room of CCL
was decorated by a separate committee
and the CCL staff members wore costumes especially created by yet another
group of volunteers. Bill Bryden handled
reservations and Stan Nawrocki
acted as Treasurer. Peg Atkinson,

Landfall Foundation
COMMEDIA DELL’ ARTE—LIVE IN LANDFALL Gala Committees
By Carol Cunningham, Co-Chair
Comedy, Art, Music, Magic! More than
350 Landfall Foundation Sponsors and
Guests enjoyed it all at Landfall
Foundation’s tenth anniversary gala.
The fun began in the cocktail tent on the
front lawn of the Landfall Clubhouse.
Magic tricks and acrobats entertained
guests as they
savored cocktails,
complimentary
wine and delicious hors
d’oeuvres.
When guests
entered the
clubhouse,
they were
Janet Burkholder and Toni Dew (in mask)
overwhelmed by the artistry of Landfall
and guest chefs. Fabulous food: Asian,
Italian, Southern European! We had it all
—and all of it was presented beautifully!
(Please note the chef’s names and
restaurants on page five so you can
thank them in person for their support
when you visit their establishments.)
People buzzed with excitement as they
strolled from room to room, filling their
plates and recommending their favorites
to friends. People relaxed at elegant little
tables in the dining rooms or basked in
the setting sun at tables on the veranda
and lawn. For many, the fun of not being
“tied” to one table added to the night’s
excitement. From all the comments, the
“strolling dinner” was a tremendous
success.

President’s Message
(Continued from page 1.)
Pat White and Janet Burkholder
encouraged sponsor contributions.
Thank you to everyone who worked
on the Gala and produced this
spectacular evening. Landfall truly is
a repository of caring and talented
individuals who passionately give
back to their community.
Now, to the business side of the event.
We began the evening with the largest
sponsor base in the foundation’s history.
Contributions of $107,000 set the stage
for our fund raising efforts and celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the
foundation in grand style. I would like
to personally thank each sponsor for
his or her part in making a difference
in the Greater Wilmington area through
the foundation. Our auctions produced
$53,000 due to our attendee’s aggressive bidding, as well as the quality of
items received from our very generous
2
Frances Weller
and Dean and
Shirley Heusel
donors. I encourage you to honor the
donor businesses with your presence.
Finally, ticket sales net of expenses,
amounted to $20,000 for a grand total
of $180,000 for the evening, an increase
from $143,000 in 2005.
Professors Paul Costagno and Craig
Steenerson of UNCW, along with Bruce
Gibson of Landfall, scripted, directed
and produced the evening’s stage show.
In closing, I thank all 2005 contributors
to the Landfall Foundation listed on
pages six through eight. We have now
provided more than $700,000 in grants
to worthwhile charitable agencies in the
Wilmington area with more to come in
2006 as we approach the $1 million
dollar mark. Thank you Landfall!

Landfall Foundation
Treasurer’s Report
Contributing Chefs
By Stan Nawrocki
The Landfall community made 2005 another very successful year for the Landfall
Foundation. More than $230,000 was raised in a record year for the organization.
Expenses were held to low levels once again in 2005. The foundation’s administrative
expenses were $8,900—less than 4 percent of funds raised. This achievement is
testimony to the hard work of many generous volunteers. Fund raising expenses
were a little less than $33,000 for the year.
In 2005 fifty-nine charities received grants totaling $166,675 and the Kenan Chapel’s
concert program was supported with a $5,000 grant. The foundation awarded nearly
$13,000 in scholarships to Landfall POA and Country Club of Landfall employees
who are pursuing studies at Brunswick Community College, Cape Fear Community
College and University of North Carolina at Wilmington. The scholarship awards
for 2006 are expected to increase significantly because of a change in policy, which
awards a larger percentage of the tuition cost to eligible recipients.
2006 is progressing as another very good year. The “Commedia Dell’ Arte” event
was a fun-filled, successful evening. Early calculations indicate that “Commedia
Dell’ Arte” will have raised close to $180,000 for the foundation.
The foundation expects to significantly increase the amount it distributes in 2006.
The Board recently voted to change the formula calculating the allocation for grants
making more money available for local charities and other deserving organizations.
Remember that a gift to the foundation on behalf of, or in memory of loved ones are
excellent ways to support the foundation’s work in our community. Almost one-half
of the residents of Landfall supported the foundation in 2005. The community should
be very proud of its support and the work the foundation is able to do because of
the generosity of our community residents.
The foundation continually seeks greater resident participation—any amount is
appreciated. The foundation accepts Visa or Master Card in addition to checks and
stock as noted on the donation form on page 11.

Scholarship Program Report
By Stan Roman
For fiscal year 2005 the Landfall Foundation budgeted
$20,000 for employee academic scholarships and $10,000 for
future endowments. The CCL/POA employees are required
to meet both employment and academic standards in order
to be eligible for the scholarships that reimburse up to 50
percent in-state tuition and fees. I am pleased to report that
during 2005 the foundation awarded 21 scholarships in the
amount of $12,073. During the year the Landfall Foundation
Board also made the following significant changes to the
scholarship program: reimbursements to employees would
be made after successful completion of the course(s) and
continued satisfactory employment status; reimbursements
for Cape Fear and Brunswick Community Colleges were
increased from 50 to 100 percent, and the University of
North Carolina at Wilmington increased from 50 to 75
percent. In addition continuing education programs for self
improvement were included in the available reimbursement
programs. These positive changes were greatly appreciated
and acknowledged by the academic institutions, employees
and CCL/ POA management.
For fiscal 2006, the foundation budgeted $25,000 for
scholarships. As of March 31, 2006 the foundation had
awarded 17 scholarships in the amount of $16,826 reflecting
the significant increase due to the above noted changes.
A reminder to all that Landfall community members can
designate their contribution on the donation form on page 11
to a specific academic institution, namely the University of
North Carolina at Wilmington, Cape Fear Community
College and Brunswick Community College.
An investment in education is an outstanding contribution
to the future of our great Nation.

Landfall Foundation
Commedia Dell’ Arte
(Continued from page 2.)
The energy level was still soaring as
guests entered the ballroom for the
night’s entertainment and auction.
“The Other Side” improv group had
everyone laughing at their antics. Marty
Allran and Howard Bollinger belted
out songs such as Stormy Weather and
A Good Man is Hard to Find between
auction items. Cirque du Soleil characters,
Eleanor and Hershel, assisted Alan in
their delightfully bumbling manner.
Along with the entertainment, Alan
Perry worked his own special magic
with the auction items: magnificent
jewelry, art, sculpture, sporting events,
trips and fine dining, to name a few.
The auction items brought forth the
generosity and competitive spirit of the
gala guests.
When all was said and done, Commedia
Dell’Arte made history for the Landfall
Foundation as the most fun evening in
our ten-year life span, and thanks to the
generosity of sponsors, donors, bidders
and guests, it is also the foundation’s most
successful event from a fund-raising
perspective. What this all means is that
more worthy organizations in the greater
Wilmington area will benefit, once again
demonstrating the Landfall community’s
commitment to having fun while
“doing good.”
