A Desire to Give
In this issue Saint Therese begins Oxbow Lake expansion 9th Annual Golf Classic Update 2010-2011 Tribute Gifts Mary Jane and Phil McManus pose with Mary Jane’s painting “Flowers for Home.” A Desire to Give S The ROSE Tenant spearheads effort to bring charitable gift annuities to Saint Therese aint Therese at Oxbow Lake tenants Donald and Cathy Vandergon searched for several months looking for the perfect place to retire. “We looked many places,” Donald said. But with special comforts of a chapel, laundry rooms in the apartments and a beautiful balcony, Donald said the Oxbow Lake campus shot to the top of the list. Shortly after moving to Oxbow Lake, Donald learned that Saint Therese wanted to expand the Oxbow Lake campus to include a care center. Donald said he immediately liked the idea of bringing a care center to the campus in the event either he or Cathy became ill and needed additional support. Donald contacted Saint Therese Foundation Director John LeBlanc about contributing to the project. Donald was specifically interested in creating a charitable gift annuity with Saint Therese. Unfortunately, Saint Therese did not offer charitable gift annuities. Summer 2011 Hidden potential unveiled Saint Therese at Oxbow Lake tenants reveal hidden talents through therapy M ary Jane McManus of Saint Therese at Oxbow Lake has a little known secret…well, until now. Mary Jane recently discovered she is a beautiful painter. “I asked [John] to pursue it a little bit,” Donald said with a smile. With a little assistance from therapist Larry Homan from Art without Boundaries, Mary Jane created a beautiful painting that was featured in an art show held at Saint Therese at Oxbow Lake on Wednesday, March 30. The pair got right to work and in just over a year, as fundraising for the expansion project was in full swing; Saint Therese collaborated with the Mary Jane and her husband Phil each created a painting with Larry that was featured at the art show. Phil’s painting entitled “The Black Tree,” drew the attention of his children. DESIRE TO GIVE continues on page 3 HIDDEN POTENTIAL continues on page 4 Letter from the President and CEO Dear Friends, Mission Saint Therese, a Catholic organization serving seniors of all faiths, is dedicated to the wellbeing of each individual. Board of Directors Joseph Amberg, M.D. Patrick J. Boran Fr. Michael Byron J.J. Choromanski Wm. Christopher Downey, M.D. Scott Fairbairn, M.D. Kaye Foley Fr. Joseph Gillespie David M. Hoffmann Stephen Imholte Kristin L. Kopp John C. Manion, M.D. Jane McCrossan Mary Ortizcazarin Sr. Karen Sames, OSB Jennifer J. Shaltz Wayne H. Thalhuber, M.D. As I write this letter, the Minnesota state government shut down has just ended. As we anxiously wait to learn where the coveted monies will be allocated, we know for certain funding for senior care and services will drastically change. Both parties proposed significant cuts to senior care and even the best case scenario will force a harsh reality upon all senior care facilities. While we are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best, we must remember our Saint Therese senior communities have much to celebrate. Families, friends, donors and volunteers of Saint Therese gathered for a beautiful day of golfing, enticing games and delicious food at the 9th Annual Saint Therese Foundation Golf Classic in June. The event raised nearly $40,000 for Saint Therese senior communities. In July, the Saint Therese at Oxbow Lake campus began building a 64-bed expansion featuring transitional and long-term care suites and wellness center. We will be one step closer to fulfilling our mission to provide a full continuum of care to our seniors at each campus. It will truly be a life changing addition for the seniors and families we serve. The Saint Therese of New Hope campus will host their tenant family picnic in August. The free event attracts almost 1,000 tenant friends and family members to our campus for an evening of food, fun and games for all ages. Our newest campus, Saint Therese at St. Odilia, is beginning to make a name for itself in the Shoreview community. The intimate 8-bed palliative care home is growing daily as we serve seniors through specialized and holistic care. Saint Therese is dedicated to the well-being of each individual and that mission will not falter with the changing winds of government. I encourage you to be an advocate for senior care and contact your local state representative. Share your story and ask them to support funding for senior care and services so we can continue to provide innovative care to our senior communities. Sincerely, Barbara A. Rode President/CEO Stay Connected! Help us spread the word about Saint Therese!

Catholic Community Foundation to offer charitable gift annuities to all donors. What is a charitable gift annuity? A charitable gift annuity is a simple contract in which an individual makes an irrevocable donation in the form of cash, marketable securities or other assets in return for a fixed payment amount for the rest of his or her lifetime. A charitable gift annuity can be designated for one or two people, so an individual and/or their loved one can receive payments for life. Donald, who has charitable gift annuities with other institutions, feels a charitable gift annuity is a great addition to any investment portfolio. “If any of my investments run out, I will still have money coming in,” Vandergon said. “I felt the charitable gift annuity should be apart of our portfolio because we would be covering ourselves for the short-term and long-term.” Update: Since Donald was interviewed for this article, his beloved wife Catherine passed away. Saint Therese is very grateful to Donald for sharing their story. Other benefits of a charitable gift annuity include an immediate and substantial Federal tax deduction (per IRS limits), secured and guaranteed income for a lifetime and recognition as a Saint Therese Heritage Society member. However, Donald believes that the greatest benefit lies within the act of giving. “You have to have a desire to give to Saint Therese,” Donald said. Most gifts given through a charitable gift annuity will ultimately go into a permanently restricted endowment fund. Giving to the endowment fund supports the mission of Saint Therese and provides us with the tools to offer a full continuum of care for seniors. To learn more about charitable gift annuities and how to give to Saint Therese, please contact John LeBlanc at 763.531.5459 or visit sttheresemn.org. How does it work? If you currently have a $10,000 CD (Certificate of Deposit) with an interest rate of 1.25%* for 60 months, you could receive approximately $640 in interest after five years. However, if you are 85 years old and donate $10,000 through a charitable gift annuity you could receive an interest rate of 8.4%*. With an interest rate of 8.4% you could collect an annual payment of approximately $840 every year of your lifetime. *Rates are subject to change. Donate A Vehicle. Drive Our Mission. Saint Therese has partnered with Cars with Heart, a local vehicle donation program, to facilitate car and other vehicle donations from supporters. We receive the proceeds from the sale and you receive a tax deduction based on fair market value. It’s easy to do! Just contact John LeBlanc at 763.531.5459 for more information. 3 Saint Therese at Oxbow Lake expansion becomes a reality The Suites to open fall 2012 A fter years of research, planning and fundraising, Saint Therese is happy to announce we have broken ground on the Saint Therese at Oxbow Lake campus skilled care suites and wellness center. From the very beginning, the vision for Saint Therese at Oxbow Lake included a state-of-the-art continuum of care community that offered the full array of housing and care options for seniors. Now that vision is becoming a reality. The new 64-bed addition will feature “Suites” of both transitional and longterm care options in a “neighborhood model”. The model is designed so residents will be grouped in smaller areas rather than in large wings. Other features include private suites, a fitness center with a therapy pool, therapy services and family-style dining in each neighborhood. For more information about contributing to the expansion project, please contact John LeBlanc at 763.531.5459. To learn more about the expansion project please contact Saint Therese Oxbow Lake Administrator Dinah Martin at 763.493.7007. Visit facebook.com/sainttherese to receive timely updates on the expansion. Hidden potential unveiled continued from page 1 “It was a wonderful surprise to see the painting,” said Maureen Brenk, Phil’s daughter. “I thought, ‘wait until I show them what dad did’,” said Brenk, referring to her other siblings. “I was amazed.” Therapy disguised The Saint Therese at Oxbow Lake Therapeutic Recreation department contacted Larry after hearing about the unique Mneme therapy program through a colleague. According to the Art without Boundaries web site, Mneme therapy is an “experience” that uses “everyday pleasurable experiences in a unique combination like singing, painting, movements, story telling and praise.” The therapeutic recreation team thought the special type of therapy might appeal to some of their tenants and within weeks, 4 Larry was visiting Saint Therese at Oxbow Lake and creating new “painters”. The therapy session begins with Larry speaking with the individual and asking them about details of their life. Sometimes participants speak, other times, they sit silent. Larry asks the individual to point out an image in his collection he or she would like to create. Larry then starts to place globs of paint in certain areas around a pizza box top that acts as a “canvas”. He asks the individual to move their brush up, down, left and right. He uses words like “horizon” and “boundaries” to guide the painter as he or she creates. Larry said the movements and images that are created trigger forgotten memories. He said while the individual paints he asks questions about the image they are creating. Tenant Louis Fournier, sat silently throughout the painting process until Larry started asking about the fall picture he was painting. Louis began talking immediately, telling Larry the painting reminded him of Red Lake where he would visit with a group of friends twice a year saying he had a “really nice time there.” Louis named his painting “Firedance”. Larry said every individual has a unique experience when they paint. “It’s all about pulling memories from their minds,” Larry said. Pointing at her painting during the art show, Mary Jane recalled her experience with Larry by saying “He just told me start and said ‘do this’ or ‘do that’ and all of a sudden it looked like this.” Smiling with tears in her eyes Mary Jane said “I had a wonderful time. This is so great!” Update SAINT THERESE GOLF CLASSIC Thank You to Our Top Sponsors! Presenting Sponsor am: First Place te s nd ie fr m and Dennis Lam On Monday, June 20, nearly 144 golfers participated in the 9th Annual Saint Therese Foundation Golf Classic, presented by Frana Companies Inc. The enthusiastic golfers played 18 holes and took part in several traditional hole games such as closest to the pin and longest drive. Golfers also used their skills and maybe a little luck to try and drive a marshmallow the furthest. This year, several Saint Therese families joined us, playing in honor of a loved one. We are happy to report that nearly $40,000 was raised for Saint Therese seniors. Thank you to the sponsors, golfers, contributors, event committee and volunteers who helped make the day a success! 2011 Steering Committee Fran Hagen, II, Co-Chair Matt Scherer, Co-Chair Tim Beaupre Mary Bloomquist Andy Fazendin Bill Flanary John Fisher Mary Hartkopf Ken Hudoba Harry Hurley Stephen Imholte Lunch Sponsor Golf Cart Sponsors Hospitality Sponsor Dinner Sponsor E-Blast Sponsors Silver Sponsors Merwin Home Medical Merwin Long Term Care LarsonAllen LLP Technical Life Care Medical Co.
