Spotlight Winter 2012 - The Arc of San Diego

A Quarterly Publication of The Arc of San Diego
Winter 2012
You are cordially invited…
to join the Legacy Society at The Arc
of San Diego.
A Celebration of Giving
The Arc of San Diego held its annual Legacy Society Appreciation Luncheon November 9,
2012 at Bertrand at Mr. A's in Banker’s Hill. This event recognizes and honors individuals who
have left a legacy gift to The Arc by establishing a charitable gift annuity, creating a charitable
remainder trust, setting up a pooled income fund, or including the organization in their will.
President & CEO David Schneider welcomed guests and introduced Keynote Speaker, Julie
Murch. Julie, who works in Arc Community Employment Services as a member of the
janitorial crew at the Sulpizio Family Center, spoke of her long-standing relationship with The
Arc and how meaningful services have given her the support to fully live her life the way she
desires.
David thanked guests for their commitment to The Arc’s future. Over the years, their
generosity has made it possible for The Arc to provide important programs and services to
more than 2,500 children and adults with disabilities. Amongst this year’s successes, we
include:
n
n
The introduction of Therap, a new electronic case management software system which
permits secure effective and efficient documentation, reporting, and communication with
immediate access to important information for staff involved in consumers’ health plans.
The new Therapeutic Art Program, using art and imagery, to help more than 100 infants and
toddlers in the Parent/Infant program communicate and explore the world around them.
In acknowledging the importance of our Legacy Donors, David reiterated, “The financial
support from your planned gift not only gives us strength in advocating for people with
disabilities, but also ensures that we have a strong foundation for future success. Thank
you again, from everyone at The Arc, for your generous support of our mission to empower
individuals with disabilities to achieve their life goals.”
Legacy Society membership is bestowed
upon friends who have designated The Arc
of San Diego as a recipient of their estate or
other planned gifts. In addition to bequests,
charitable gift annuities, charitable trusts,
insurance policies, retirement plans, stocks
and other appreciated assets may be used for
membership.
To become eligible for Legacy Society
membership, an individual simply informs
The Arc of San Diego, in writing, that The Arc
has been included in estate plans.
If you have already made a legacy
gift, please inform us so we may properly
acknowledge your gift, include you in the
Legacy Society, and invite you to our annual
Legacy Society Luncheon.
If you are contemplating a gift, please
let us know so we can help you craft a
meaningful legacy as you explore all options
and evaluate what is important to you. Your
communication with us is strictly confidential.
We look forward to hearing from you.

A Community Hero
Safeco Insurance named Arc President
& CEO David Schneider a Safeco®
Community Hero and awarded the
organization with $5,000!
President’s
Message
The holidays are here and the
year is drawing to a close.
As we look back on 2012,
we find many reasons to
be grateful and proud of
the accomplishments of our
consumers and staff.
Two outstanding
achievements that reflect
the strong commitment
of our dedicated staff and
make us immensely proud…
98 percent of consumers
report an improvement in the
quality of their lives because
of Arc programs and services
while 96 percent of families
express satisfaction with our
services.
In addition, we were awarded
a three year accreditation
from the Commission on
Accreditation of Rehabilitation
Facilities (CARF) with
exemplary recognition for
Arc Community Employment
Services Marine Corps Recruit
Depot (MCRD) Food Services
& Landscaping Programs.
Before we get caught up in
the hustle and bustle that
comes with the holiday
season, I want to express our
gratitude and appreciation
to all our donors, staff,
consumers, families/caregivers
and, in particular, our
220 volunteers who gave
11,091 hours of loyal service
to The Arc. Your belief and
confidence in our work helps
us fulfill our mission.
May you and your family
have a happy holiday season.
We are grateful for your
support and look forward to a
successful 2013!
Every year, through its Agent Giving Program, the Safeco Insurance
Community Hero Award recognizes individuals who make a positive
difference in their community and honors their work with a donation to
the nonprofits they support.
Safeco agents nominate community heroes who support organizations
that focus on education, health & safety, and civic management. Ginger
Hodges-Rodrigo, Customer Service Representative with The Michael
Ehrenfeld Company (The Arc’s insurance broker) nominated Dave. One
of 15 nationwide nominations, Dave received recognition for his work at
The Arc over the past 10 years. Congratulations, Dave!

The Arc of San Diego has five chapter advisory boards who are
responsible for addressing the local programming needs of people with
disabilities and promoting their general welfare.
Founded in September 1959, the South Bay Chapter Advisory Board
celebrates a rich history with Starlight Center in Chula Vista. From
a small teenage recreation program to programs in the carport of a
teacher’s home, to a WWII federal housing project building donated
by the Mary Birch Foundation, the Chapter Advisory Board has been at
the helm, always guiding Starlight Center.
Composed of people from the local community, the South Bay Chapter
Advisory Board brings experience, expertise, and a strong desire to
help Starlight succeed. Chaired by Yrma Nixon, the Chapter Advisory
Board provides leadership and raises essential funds for programs and
services. They have been involved in several capital campaigns and
organize a series of annual fundraisers including the SpringFest, pit
roast BBQ dinner, and holiday gift cards for staff.
According to Area Director Terri Thorn, “The South Bay Chapter
Advisory Board is a wonderful group of individuals who have always
been extremely supportive. We would not be able to do any of our
special events without the assistance of our chapter members and we
are so appreciative of their time and service.”
The South Bay Chapter Advisory Board meets on the second Thursday
of each month at 6:30 p.m. at Starlight Center. If you or someone you
know is interested in joining this remarkable group, please contact Terri
Thorn at (619) 427-7524 or tthorn@arc-sd.com.

Remembering
The Arc
at Year-End
Timing Your
Year-End Gift
To qualify for a deduction
in 2012, your gift must
be postmarked, delivered,
or transacted by Monday
December 31st. Here are some
helpful hints.
It’s the holiday season, the time of the
year for charitable giving. We hope you
will consider making a contribution
to The Arc of San Diego. Your gift
will make a difference in the lives of
individuals with developmental and
intellectual disabilities.
US Postal Service
The postmark on the envelope
not the date on the check is the
date of the gift.
Here are a few suggestions to make your year-end giving easier:
Gift of Cash
Making a gift of cash by check or credit card is a convenient way to make
a donation. If you itemize, gifts of cash are deductible up to 50% of
adjusted gross income.
Gift of Securities
When you donate stock, bonds, or mutual funds that have appreciated,
you avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase in value and claim a
charitable deduction up to 30% of adjusted gross income.
Gift of Real Estate
Depending on the type of gift (personal home, vacation home, acreage,
or farm), you may enjoy tax savings, lifetime payments, and freedom from
carrying costs once the property is sold.
Gift Through Your Will or Living Trust
After providing for your loved ones, we hope you will consider
remembering The Arc in your estate. Gifts included in wills and living trusts
are flexible and easy to arrange.
As always, we encourage you to seek advice from your tax advisor.
Thank You to
Other Delivery
For donations sent via FedEx,
UPS, or other third party, the
date of the gift is the date the
nonprofit signs for the package,
not the date it was sent.
Credit Card
The date your account is debited
is considered the date of the
donation not the date you
mailed in your donation.
Stock Transfer
The date a gift of stock is
deposited in the nonprofit
brokerage account is the date
of the gift, not the date the
donor instructs the broker to
make the gift.
After December 16th, it may be
best for you to make your gift
by telephone or online to avoid
mailing or shipping delays and
assure your credit card gift is
processed in time to count for
2012 tax purposes.
Our Donors
October 6, 2012 through November 30, 2012
Our work at The Arc of San Diego, to provide services to children and adults with
disabilities, depends on the generosity and hard work of our many donors and

help enhance and improve their quality of life.

Surprise

Inclusion Project
Community
Partner
Isabella Cebrero never anticipated her work
at Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD)
Mess Hall would become the focus of
attention.
More than 350 consumers at North
Shores Vocational Center and Arc
North County will have access to
the latest adapted hardware and
software technologies as a result of
an $82,322 grant from the California
Communications Access Foundation to
fund the Technology Inclusion Project at
two computer labs.
In February 2012, The San Diego Regional
Chamber of Commerce launched a new
initiative, the Community Partner Series, to
recognize nonprofit organizations across the
County that have a significant impact on our
community.
Isabella was pleasantly surprised to be
honored with a certificate recognizing her
strong work ethic from the Director of Food
Services Program Lt. Col. Jay A. Rogers and
Chief Warrant Officer 2, Damian A. Sullivan
of the Installation & Logistics Headquarters
U.S. Marine Corps OIC West Coast Food
Management Team.
The Marine Corps Food Team conducts
annual inspections at Mess Halls around
the country to ensure compliance with
existing contracts including food sanitation,
food safety, equipment, menu compliance,
quality assurance and overall management
effectiveness.
Isabella has been working at MCRD since
June 2011. Hired through Arc Community
Employment Services (ACES) Food Services
Program, she is a conscientious team player
dedicated to doing an outstanding job.
Each lab will house 10 desktops, 10
iPads, and assistive tools and applications
such as touch screens, mouse devices,
oversized keyboards, text-to speech,
screen-to-speech, and the award-winning
Proloquo2Go software. Additionally, the
San Diego Community College District
has designated both labs as Community
College Continuing Education sites and
assigned two instructors to each location.
The labs offer sessions in reading, math/
money skills, internet navigation/e-mail
use, and music/interactive recreational
games. Those seeking employment use
the lab for pre-employment preparation,
taking advantage of Resume Writing and
Internet Job Search classes.
We thank the California Communications
Access Foundation for helping us bridge
the digital divide by providing stateof-the-art computers, hardware, and
specialized applications to people with
disabilities.

The Arc of San Diego is proud to have been
selected as ‘Community Partner of the Month’
for October 2012. As Community Partner,
The Arc was highlighted in the Chamber’s
eNewsletter, on social media, and at the
‘Business After Five’ mixer on October 17th.
Chamber mixers draw between 250-300
people and our staff spoke about The Arc and
shared information with guests.
The San Diego Regional Chamber of
Commerce is San Diego’s largest business
advocacy organization representing nearly
3,000 businesses and 400,000 member
employees.
It was an
exciting
weekend
trip for
a group
of four
vacationers
who
signed up
with The
Arc of
San Diego's
Leisure Express Trip and Travel program.
They had a happy, fun-filled time at Disneyland and California
Adventure. Our adventurers enjoyed the rides, shopping, eating and
a spirited celebration at Mickey's Halloween Party.
Holiday Bazaar Delights Shoppers
Starlight Auxiliary held its Annual Holiday
Bazaar the first weekend of November at
Norman Center in Chula Vista.
A steady flow of shoppers browsed through
thousands of items including quality holiday
crafts, decorations, jewelry, embroidered
linens, handmade toys, baby clothing,
jewelry, collectibles, donated items, homebaked goods, white elephant sale, and raffle.
Preparation for this successful holiday tradition
begins early with dedicated and committed
Auxiliary Members collecting, cleaning, sorting, and pricing items throughout the year.
The Bazaar, a major fundraising event, raised more than $15,000 to support Starlight Center
programs and Building Fund.
Elected officials visit Arc Centers in October in celebration of National
Disability Employment Awareness Month. Left: Chula Vista City
