In Memoriam
Wingspan remembers these
beloved members of our
community who died during
the past year.

Dear friends,
A sense of belonging is an innate need of all of us, and it is integral
to the mission of Wingspan Life Resources.
Wingspan is committed to cultivating a culture of belonging in all
we do. It is found in homes and programs where people feel accepted
and appreciated. It is cultivated in the abundant shared opportunities
offered for relaxation, enjoyment and personal growth. And it is
reflected in a sense of connectedness and community shared by all
in the Wingspan family — those we serve and their families, our staff
members, volunteers, donors and other supporters.
As we celebrate the joy of belonging in this
Annual Report, we have good news to report.
Earlier this year, the Minnesota Legislature approved
a long-overdue increase in funding for services for
people with disabilities. Thanks to the many of
you who called legislators, wrote letters and shared
your personal stories as part of a multi-faced
Patricia A. Moore
campaign led by Wingspan’s Therese Davis through
Executive Director
ARRM’s 5% campaign.
As we move forward, our loyal donors, both
individuals and businesses, continue to play a pivotal
role in fulfilling our mission. Your generosity enables
us to go above and beyond the basics of care, and
to provide every possible opportunity to enhance the
quality of life for those we serve throughout their
lifetimes.

Music that touches the heart
The new Wingspan Glee Club put in weeks of rehearsal to
prepare for its first performance at Wingspan’s annual Power
of Love Gala in May, and all that effort paid off. The choral
group of 20 adults with developmental disabilities, along
with several Wingspan staff members, received not one
but two standing ovations, wowing guests with a touching
rendition of “What a Wonderful World,” both sung and
in sign language.
While Wingspan has long offered informal opportunities
to sing in small groups or at special gatherings, the
Glee Club goes much further. Through a partnership of
Wingspan with MacPhail Center for Music, participants
engage with music as a therapeutic tool that offers many
benefits, such as reducing isolation, improving self-esteem
and bolstering memory.
Best of all, over the weeks, Glee Club members have become
their own supportive community, each week meeting to raise
their voices in song and enjoy the pleasures of friendship.
It’s just one of the many opportunities offered by Wingspan
to enrich the lives of those we serve.

Love goes a long way
A year ago, Beverly moved to Wingspan’s Troseth House in
Roseville with an uncertain future. She had to leave her previous
group home due to problematic behaviors, and the Troseth
staff was warned about possible difficulties with the
home’s newest resident, such as running away and
faking falls so she could go to the hospital.
In preparing for the move, house supervisor
Shelda Thompson discovered that Beverly often
felt unliked and unheard at her previous home.
Shelda was determined that Beverly would
never feel that way at Troseth.
When moving day came a year ago,
Shelda and her team warmly
welcomed Beverly into
the household, as did
Cindy, Larissa and Lydia,
Beverly
her new roommates. Each
day, Beverly was reminded of her
importance and that she was loved and
appreciated. In this supportive environment, Beverly
has thrived. The predicted behaviors
disappeared, and the few times Beverly
hinted about running away, the staff
turned it into a joke and got her laughing.
She has even joined the Wingspan
Glee Club.
“What a difference the Wingspan staff
have made in our client’s life,” wrote a
Hennepin County supervisor in assessing
Beverly’s progress. “I am happy to report
she is a much happier and healthier
individual.”

It’s a family affair
Decades ago, LeRoy and Darlene Bergerson decided against placing
their young daughter Lynn in an institution, which at the time was
an accepted practice for parents of children with developmental
disabilities.
Instead, the Bergersons steadfastly cared for Lynn in their own
home. But as the couple reached retirement age, they began to plan
for the time when they would no longer be able to provide loving
care for their daughter. When Wingspan Life Resources came into
their lives, the family felt prayers had been answered.
In December 2012, the Bergersons moved Lynn into Thomas
House, confident that their beloved daughter would be safe, secure
and happy. That was just the beginning. Leroy joined the Board

of Directors in 2013, and he
and Darlene co-chaired the 2014
Power of Love Gala. Lynn’s siblings
and their spouses regularly attend
Wingspan events. The Bergersons
visit Thomas House frequently,
and have helped with painting projects and staining the
large deck as well as being generous financial contributors.
“Our family, not only Lynn, was welcomed to Wingspan with
open arms,” said Darlene. And in the process, the entire Bergerson
clan has become a special part of Wingspan’s extended family.

Losing dear friends.
Gaining new ones.
When Margie passed away, her housemates and staff at Portland
House were greatly saddened by the loss of an irreplaceable friend.
Margie, 80, was one of Wingspan’s “Golden Girls,”
a group of older women who share life at Portland.
Another Golden Girl, Dorothy, 93, had also
recently passed away and was missed by everyone.
Often after the death of a housemate, enough
time passes to grieve the loss of dear friends
before someone new moves in. But in this case,
Pam was referred shortly after Margie’s death.
She came for a visit and seemed a good fit.

Debi Rattler (standing behind Pam), program director Philip Varchenko and Carol (seated).
“When Pam moved in, people were still grieving and emotions ran
high. But our staff are professionals who rise to the challenge of
making a new person feel welcome and happy in their new home,”
said Therese Davis, Wingspan’s Chief Operating Officer.
Pam’s adjustment had some rocky moments, but before long,
she settled in. With the staff’s care and attention, she has
become more independent, has had her medications reduced,
and has even started wearing makeup.
With her housemates Carol and Gail, Pam
has truly become one of the Golden Girls.
Ready for a holiday party were three members
of the “Golden Girls” of Portland House,
all of whom have passed away – Viola (left),
Margie (standing) and Dorothy (right).
