Heartlines Fall 2011
Casa Pacifica’s Stepping Stone Project Making Great Strides Forward Heartlines C asa Pacifica is very excited to move forward with new housing for its Coaching Independence in Transitional Youth (CITY) Program to compliment the two housing options already offered to emancipated foster youth. Currently, the CITY program offers young adults who qualify a choice of independent living apartments or semiindependent living “community nests” in private homes around the county. The new Stepping Stone Program will offer newly emancipated youth, whose independent living skills need more development, the opportunity to hone their skills in a “house parent” living situation. Vicki Murphy, Casa Pacifica’s Chief Advancement Officer & Director of Alumni Services, conceived the Stepping Stone project as she drove down the agency’s driveway each morning. She would look at three abandoned buildings on a property INSIDE: fronting Casa Pacifica and think,“Those President’s Message houses would be CEO’s Message perfect for transitional Page 2 youth who have just left the foster care Annual Fundraising system but still need Page 6 some services. Casa Pacifica would be Angels Events right next door to Page 8 & 9 help them get on their feet.” As the Wish List CITY Program’s Page 11 housing assistance program developed, Upcoming Events Page 12 the idea pressed on Fall 2011 her mind, and the need for a Stepping Stone form of housing became more apparent. for this unexpected and substantial financial support for the project. With approval from Casa Pacifica’s Board of Directors for the project and help from Ventura County Supervisor Steve Bennett, Casa Pacifica’s CEO, Dr. Steve Elson and Vicki Murphy met with Ventura County officials. The County was enthusiastic about the program and its goals, recognizing the tremendous need for emancipated youth housing, and approved adding the 2-acre parcel to the property Casa Pacifica already leases from the county. Mrs. Murphy once again couldn’t wait to share the news with the Bakers. Sean Baker responded, “If you’ve got someone committing that much to this project, my partner and I will do all the renovations for you. We’ll cover everything.” Mr. Baker and his partner, Gary Simons, own Upside Investments, a real estate organization that buys properties and adds value to them by reconfiguring their use, as well as Projects West Construction, which specializes in the redesign and renovation of multi-unit residential buildings. This project was right up their alley. Vicki Murphy couldn’t believe her ears. It was a banner day, needless to say, for the Stepping Stone Project! When Vicki Murphy told Sean Baker and his wife Dianna the news, they were very excited. The Bakers have pledged a half-million dollars over three years to create the CITY Program and develop a funding stream for it. Bill Powell, a supporter of Casa Pacifica and sponsor of the 2011 Wine & Food Festival, was also moved by the news. As Chairman of the Board for Granite Construction, Mr. Powell invited the Santa Barbara Area Manager of the industrygiant construction firm, Bruce McGowan, to come out to look at the property to see if his company could help. After meeting with Vicki Murphy, Granite Construction pledged to provide all the hardscape for the property and only charge Casa Pacifica for the cost of materials With such a generous offer on the table, Mr. Powell said he would personally cover the cost of the materials. Vicki Murphy was speechless and very grateful Vo l u m e 1 1 • N u m b e r 3 Work on the new housing has included clearing the property of wild vegetation and trimming overgrown trees by two volunteer crews from the California Conservation Corps, Region II/Camarillo Center. Actual renovation of the buildings began in the middle of October, and construction is expected to take 90-120 days. The only element of the project left that needs assistance is landscaping. Casa Pacifica is thrilled to have the Stepping Stone project well underway and sincerely thanks each individual, business, and volunteer who has made it possible. Expectations are that newly emancipated youth will be able to move into the Stepping Stone houses in March! From the President of the Board of Directors T he kids we serve at Casa Pacifica arrive with baggage. Many suffer from acute anxiety and depression, pre-natal exposure to drugs, and post-traumatic stress, not to mention organic emotional disturbance. They run away, they lash out at others, and they can be destructive. These behaviors, considered abnormal and alarming elsewhere, are seen on our campus as the normal byproducts of suffering. The prospect of treating these symptoms and the conditions that provoke them is a daunting one for our staff. Yet day in and day out, they tell our kids that no matter what has happened to them, they are valued human beings with a right to be safe and successful. They embed deep in the consciousness of each child who crosses our threshold the message that he or she matters. From the Chief Executive Officer N Several years ago, a 12-year-old I’ll call Gabriella visited one of our David E. Wood, Esq. Board of Directors meetings with two of the clinicians who worked with her. Gabriella was shy, but responded to Board members’ President questions about her daily life with a quiet intensity that caught my attention. She was bright and sensitive. Her artwork, which she displayed proudly, was full of emotion. Gabriella seemed even-tempered and cooperative. A few days later, I was surprised to see Gabriella running across the parking lot, pursued at a distance by a staff member. She was having a meltdown. She ran and cursed, ran some more, and cursed some more. As Gabriella worked off steam, the staff person stayed a respectful 10-20 feet away, speaking softly and reassuringly, telling her she was safe and inviting her to come back home. I knew from Gabriella’s clinicians that she had suffered terrible emotional and sexual abuse much of her short life. I knew that she sometimes blew her stack, unable to cope when counseling brought up memories she preferred to forget. And I knew I was witnessing what our loving and professional staff does every day. They help kids like Gabriella, who are suffering in ways we can barely imagine, feel safe. They teach new ways to cope with childhood trauma and emotional disturbance. They teach alternatives to substance abuse and other self-destructive behaviors. Our staff loves these kids until they learn to love themselves. As Gabriella’s crisis passed, she slowed down and began to cry. The demons seemed to leave her. She walked quietly through the front door with her clinician. Although I could not make out the words, I could hear his tone, soothing, respectful and loving. Gabriella was hearing the mantra: you are safe, you are loved, you matter. I have never been more proud of our staff, and the work they do without fanfare every single day, than I was that morning. Nothing says more about who we are as a society than how we treat and care for our neediest children and their families. Casa Pacifica meets children and families in the most challenging moments of their lives. This holiday season, let’s celebrate the superlative work of our staff by recommitting ourselves to the small acts of service—be it volunteering for the kids’ holiday party, helping with toy distribution, or writing a check—that profoundly affect the lives of these children. Through our support, let’s tell Casa Pacifica’s dedicated, patient, and compassionate employees and volunteers how proud we are of them. Above all, by funding the people and facilities at Casa Pacifica, let’s tell the children who come into our care that suffering is not inevitable, and that they are safe here. 2 w w w . c a s a p a c i f i c a . o r g ot long ago I received a letter from Madge Schaffer, who was a member of the Ventura County Board of Supervisors when Casa Pacifica was originally being conceived. In 1989, Madge facilitated holding the first Angels Ball at the Sherwood Country Club and chaired that inaugural event. For several years in the early 1990s, she was instrumental in assuring that Casa Pacifica was a recipient of the proceeds from the Steven E. Elson, Ph.D. Shark Shootout (Greg Norman’s nationally televised golf Chief Executive Officer tournament). Upon receiving her letter I took the opportunity to call Madge, who now lives in Hawaii, and we reminisced about Casa Pacifica’s beginnings. She told me other Casa Pacifica stories that I hadn’t heard before. In the course of that conversation Madge made two comments that struck me. First was that Casa Pacifica had turned out to be so much more than even the founders had dreamed and, second, how proud she was to have played a role in getting it off the ground and how important leaving a legacy is for us all. In reflecting on that phone call I dug into some data about the legacy this community leaves by embracing the children for whom we care—more than 13,000 since we opened. Here are some facts about that legacy, which continues and even grows: • Over 1,600 folks—mostly women—have joined the Angels Auxiliary. They put on three premier events a year that, since their inception, have raised more than $8 million collectively for our region’s most vulnerable children. • Angels’ special events’ attendance—cumulative over the years—has topped 45,000. • 190 campus volunteers work an average of an hour a week—about 10,000 hours annually, or the equivalent of five full-time staff. • Dozens of Amigos have staged well over 100 events for kids on campus—28 this year alone. • Scores of Amgen, Target, Pentair, National Charity League volunteers, and others, join our Angels and Amigos to spend hours decorating the gym for three major children’s events each year. • Rotary Clubs of Camarillo have raised more than $1.5 million for Casa Pacifica in the annual golf tournament they have hosted for the last 19 years. • 20,000 plus individuals have donated money or in-kind gifts. • 120 of Ventura County’s most influential citizens have served as Board members. • Including the original capital campaign & events, donors have given $30 million. It is this kind of support that enables us to continue to admit a child into one of our programs every three hours and, in addition to our campus programs, to provide services to children and families in their own homes and communities from Santa Maria to Santa Barbara to Santa Paula to Simi Valley. We do not duplicate services provided in our region—every program is unique to Casa Pacifica. And, all of our services are nationally accredited. As a member of the original Casa Pacifica steering committee often said, “It’s amazing what a community can do when it comes together on behalf of its most vulnerable children.” • 8 0 5 - 4 4 5 - 7 8 0 0 Your Donations Really Do Make a Difference A staff member from our community-based Supportive Behavioral Services program emailed this story to Jody Kussin, Casa Pacifica’s Director of Community ServiceVentura County. Her heartfelt words clearly illustrate how donations from our community can tremendously impact the life of a child or family. I wanted to take a moment and personally thank you for the opportunity to provide a family I work with tickets to the circus. I heard of the offer via text message on Tuesday evening and I immediately thought of a family who could benefit from such an opportunity. Due to the late hour, I waited to contact the family until first thing in the morning. Here is a brief description of what occurred. I was scheduled to be in an all-day training, so I knew I was limited to short phone calls to provide the mother of this family with the circus ticket information. At first she was somewhat uncertain of the offer, asking me how much the tickets were and how many were available. I explained that they were free and had been donated to our organization to be used for our children or a family. The mother was somewhat speechless, stating that she has wanted to take her family to the circus for many years, but could not afford to as this was more than a luxury for a single mom raising four children on a very limited budget. the tickets came with parking passes, so that would be one less expense for her to worry about. Within the hour she called me back, overwhelmed with joy, stating she would be able to make the trip and was so blessed and grateful for our generosity. I drove out to the house later that day to personally hand deliver the tickets to her, and was greeted with tears of joy and thankfulness, and found myself feeling equally as blessed and fortunate to have been given the opportunity to give to this family. I am so proud to work for an organization that has allowed me the ability to give back to the community I live in, and to provide joy and happiness to a family so appreciative, so thankful, and never expecting to receive such an amazing gift. This outing provided an opportunity for the family to bond and connect with one another and to experience a truly memorable event, one they will look back on for many years to come. I am so proud to work for Casa Pacifica—knowing that the values we represent in the work we do every day have such positive impact on the lives we touch. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of such a humbling and truly inspirational moment. It was for me as well, a truly memorable event, and one I too will reflect on in the years to come. Kathi Sasse / SBS Family Specialist The mother told me that she would get back to me with an answer, but first needed to pray, because she still needed money for food and gas to make the trip to L.A. I advised her that Archie Update S ince the last issue of Heartlines, Archie has had a couple of exciting events take place. First, Archie experienced his first limousine ride! During a short stay at The Barkley in Westlake Village one weekend, Archie was supposed to be groomed before he was picked up Monday morning, but a miscommunication resulted in him not being washed, fluffed, and ready to go on time. The Barkley staff remedied the situation, grooming Archie and then providing door-to-door service to Casa Pacifica. It was quite a sight to see Archie arrive in such style! A more lasting highlight that took place was Archie was chosen to model for A Letter to My Dog, a new coffee table book to be published by P.Q. Blackwell. Casa Pacifica’s friend Kimi Culp is a part of the project and suggested they consider Archie as one of the 60 dogs portrayed in the book. Robin Layton, the project’s author and photographer, chose Archie and came to Casa Pacifica in September to photograph him. She was very excited about Archie and the wonderful work he performs here. Casa Pacifica’s kids wrote letters about Archie and several of their quotes will be featured on Archie’s page. We are looking forward to seeing Archie’s spread in the finished book and will announce when it will be available for purchase. Along with his regular duties, Archie had a special job in October playing with our kids and keeping them busy during the California Shake-Out event in which Casa Pacifica participated with other agencies and schools statewide. The California Shake-Out was designed in order to practice emergency procedures in the case of a major earthquake. It was a very successful drill and Archie successfully performed his duties of keeping the children distracted and happy. w w w . c a s a p a c i f i c a . o r g • 8 0 5 - 4 4 5 - 7 8 0 0 3 Community News Cyclecross Bicycle Race Takes Place at Casa Pacifica I n September, Casa Pacifica’s campus served as the site for an unusual form of bicycle racing called Cyclocross. Organized and hosted by M4K Cycling/Newbury Park Bike Shop, over 300 riders ranging in age categories from Under 10 to Masters 55+ participated in the event. Cyclocross races cover a short “track” (usually 1.5 to 2 miles long) made up of different types of terrain—pavement, trails, grass, hills, as well as some obstacles that require the rider to get off his bike and carry it, sometimes while running. The bicycles are a hybrid of street racing bike and mountain bike, with cantilevered brakes to avoid mud build-up and knobbed tires for better traction. Casa Pacifica’s “track” included a barrier section, a stair-run-up, a ride through the gymnasium’s barn doors, and a tour around the campus’ BMX bike track. Prior to the race on Sunday, Newbury Park Bike Shop held a bicycle clinic for Casa Pacifica’s residents to learn safety and bike handling skills. Also, in conjunction with the Schwinn Back-to-Bike program, Newbury Park Bike Shop donated 45 BMX bikes and helmets to Casa Pacifica. Racers from some of the different teams were on Kevin Charbonneau of Newbury Park Bike Shop answers hand to share their stories kids’questions before their ride with the racers. with the kids, followed by some time riding with the kids on the new bikes. At the end of the day each child received a specially designed “finisher’s medal.” The Conejo Valley Kiwanis were on hand both Saturday and Sunday to provide a delicious barbeque lunch for Casa Pacifica’s kids, the staff, and the racers. 4 W hile many businesses and groups donated their time and energies to helping Casa Pacifica and its children over the past few months since the last Heartlines issue, the following highlight just a few of those efforts: Human Clothing Company’s Skateboard Competition Raises Money for Casa Pacifica J oe Kennelty and his wife Sarah started Human Clothing Company after Joe lost his job as a graphic designer last year. Since his clothing line has become popular with the skateboard crowd, Joe and his wife wanted to do something not only to get their name out in the public, but also to benefit a worthy cause in the community—Casa Pacifica’s kids! They organized and hosted the For the Humans Skate Competition, which was held at Camarillo Skate Park in October. A big crowd watched the competition, including about 30 of Casa Pacifica’s youth (a few of whom skated in the contest). Skateboard enthusiasts from age 8-30 signed up to compete, totaling about 50. The event also featured a DJ, food, music by a Ventura band named New Liberty, and professional skateboarder Neal Mims judged the competition. The Kenneltys donated 10% of the proceeds from the Human Clothing Company sales at the competition to Casa Pacifica. We thank them both for choosing Casa Pacifica, for their generosity and compassion, and for including our kids in such a wonderful and fun event! Benise B enise, talented guitarist and a favorite Wine & Food Festival yearly performer, generously donated several tickets to his new show, “The Spanish Guitar,” performed at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza on October 6th. Ten youth and staff members were dazzled by Benise’s spectacular musicianship and all the colorful, vivid, captivating elements of the show. It was an unforgettable experience for all! Thank you, Benise, for this special treat! w w w . c a s a p a c i f i c a . o r g • 8 0 5 - 4 4 5 - 7 8 0 0 Community News Alcoa Employees Spend Day Volunteering on Campus California United Bank Golf Tournament Benefits Casa Pacifica C F asa Pacifica was proud to be selected as one of three charities to be the recipient of proceeds from the 5th Annual Golf Tournament hosted by California United Bank (CUB) in October.

Once all the hard work was finished, Casa Pacifica’s children and staff members were invited to share a yummy barbeque lunch with all the Alcoa employees. Archie came by to say “hello” and to express Casa Pacifica’s thanks for all the generous efforts that Alcoa and their employees put forth, and to thank them for choosing to benefit Casa Pacifica and its children, once again, with their global Month of Service volunteer efforts!

The baskets held much needed items for newly emancipating foster youth such as a Crock Pot, George Foreman Grill, family cookbook, kitchen utensils, and much more. These baskets will help give a great start to emancipated young adults as they start down the new, unfamiliar, and sometimes bumpy road to responsibility and independence. Our heartfelt thanks go to all the Rexnord employees who took time to bring some fun, food, and much appreciated care to Casa Pacifica’s children. w w w . c a s a p a c i f i c a . o r g • 8 0 5 - 4 4 5 - 7 8 0 0 5 Planned Giving Maximize Your Year-End Gift Benefits G enerosity knows no season, but this is historically the time most people give and receive—and begin income tax planning. Here are some ideas on how to map out a plan for making a difference at Casa Pacifica Centers for Children and Families. How Can YOU Help? • Give cash. To document a cash gift of any amount, you must have a receipt from us prior to filing your return that states the date of the gift, the amount, and whether you received any goods or services in exchange for your donation. Make certain you receive one. A cancelled check provides sufficient documentation only for gifts by check if they are less than $250. • Give stock or other property. If the property has depreciated in value, sell it and deduct the loss to the extent allowed by law. Then donate the cash received from its sale. That way you have another deduction. If it is worth more than what you originally paid for it, do not sell it. Donate the property to us—we'll sell it and you will eliminate all the capital gains tax you would have paid had you sold it. Your gift will be deductible at its full fair market value on its date of delivery if you have held it for more than one year. Annual Fundraising Goal: $2.4 Million • Sell an appreciated asset for less than its current value to us (a bargain sale gift). The difference between the fair market value of the property and what you receive in the sale is considered the gift—and the charitable deduction. With a gift to a qualified charitable organization such as Casa Pacifica Centers for Children and Families, you can receive the greatest tax advantages when donating this year.

Spotlight on Style Fashion Show Features Fashion’s Finest T he Spotlight on Style Fashion Show – Ventura County’s premiere fashion event—celebrated its tenth anniversary this fall, set amid the elegant and beautiful accommodations of the ballroom at the Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, which features enormous, sparkling crystal chandeliers. This year’s event honored the Angels auxiliary’s past presidents, special women who unselfishly shared their leadership and vision over a time frame spanning twenty years. Fashion show guests enjoyed a superb luncheon and a fabulous assortment of desserts generously donated by Confectionately Yours, Couture CupCakery by Michelle, Find Sconehenge Baking, Kelsey’s Anytime Fudge, Missy’s Cupcake Creations, and T is for Toffee. A captivating runway show, produced by Carin Holmenas Productions, followed lunch and featured the latest in elegant designs from Madison Boutique, Jessica Barcley, Kevan Hall, and Edwards-Lowell of Beverly Hills. Four male models—Bob Endres, Ryan Haynie, Ben Hopps, and Edmond Roche, winners of last year’s male model auction, showed off designs from Men’s Wearhouse. Next to the glorious fashions, the highlight of the afternoon was a short presentation about Casa Pacifica, centered by a brief, yet truly moving video about the agency and the children it serves. There were few, if any, dry eyes in the house. Outside the ballroom, a diverse and unique group of boutique vendors offered the latest fashions, exquisite jewelry, stylish handbags, and unique giftware. A silent auction table featured wonderful gift baskets filled with assortments of items, such as the Devine Getaway basket that included an overnight stay for two at the Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village; his-and-hers plush, full-length robes; breakfast; dinner at Hamptons or Onyx; special Spa treatments; and cooking lessons in the Wellness Kitchen. Or there was the Wine and Dine basket with two VIP tickets and four general admission tickets to the next Casa Pacifica Wine & Food Festival, a $50 gift certificate to the Napa Tavern in Westlake Village; a $25 gift certificate to Sheila’s Wine Bar & Grill in Camarillo, six wine tastings at Malibu Winery, four bottles of Tobin James Wine, a party wine bucket; and the book “Sniffing the Cork.” It was a spectacular afternoon at the Four Seasons Hotel and Casa Pacifica’s gratitude goes to the endlessly energetic Angels “Spotlight on Style” chairwoman, Patricia Cordover, and to her fashion show committee for all their creative brainstorming, dedication, and hard work resulting, once again, in an unforgettable and enjoyable afternoon, which raised $48,000 (net) for Casa Pacifica and the children it serves. Calamigos Ranch Hosts Casa Pacifica’s Kids for End of Summer Party C asa Pacifica’s children celebrated the end of summer at the beautiful, pastoral Calamigos Ranch in Malibu by participating in a great variety of fun activities. The kids enjoyed swimming, paddling around the pond in paddle boats, challenging staff to a game of horseshoes, jumping in the Panda bounce house, bouncing down the inflatable slide, and competing in contests such as the egg toss. A fantastic, mouth-watering barbeque lunch was also provided. Casa Pacifica Angel Board member Linda Landau arranged this special event with Glen Gerson, the owner of Calamigos Ranch. Our sincere gratitude goes to Mr. and Mrs. Gerson and to all the staff at Calamigos for planning and hosting such a memorable day for our kids. Our deep thanks go as well to Mr. and Mrs. Herve Willems who provided funding for a bus to transport the children to and from Casa Pacifica. It was a happy day, full of laughter, smiles, and fun for Casa Pacifica’s kids, and a day that won’t be soon forgotten!

It’s been a great fall season for the kids and our Amigos! ould you like to help a child give a gift this season? You can, by donating to our annual Holiday Gift Boutique. This special event gives Casa Pacifica’s children the opportunity to buy holiday gifts for their family members, teachers, social workers, and others who are important in their lives (using allowance money they’ve earned for good behavior skills). We need items for women, men, boys, and girls, such as perfume, games, candles, lotions, stationery, wallets, picture frames, money clips, ties, colognes, etc. The gifts are sorted (by gender and age), placed on tables, and priced from $1.00-$3.00. Once the children have shopped, volunteers beautifully wrap the gifts so the children have something special to present to their loved ones. Shopping for those they care about makes the children feel good. They enjoy having a gift in-hand that they’ve chosen themselves when they visit their homes for the holiday. Along with gift items, donations of gift bags, tissue, ribbons, boxes, tape, and wrapping paper are also appreciated. Please bring donated items to Casa Pacifica between 8 am and 6 pm, Monday through Friday. Also, please identify that the items are for the Holiday Boutique when you drop them off. If you would like to volunteer along with the Angels to help wrap gifts, or if you have any questions, please call (805) 484-7126. Halloween Party Visits Haunted Ghost Town C asa Pacifica’s children enjoyed a great time at this year’s haunted ghost townthemed Halloween Party, hosted by the Casa Pacifica Angels. Each Casa Pacifica department manned its own booth that featured and activity or game for the kids to play. The Angels, Amigos, Amgen college hires group, and Boys Teen Charity all worked together to create an amazing haunted house maze that featured the ghost town’s saloon, jail, hanging gallows, and cemetery. The details and quality of the maze were unbelievable once again and elicited lots of jumps and screams! The kids loved every minute of the Halloween Party and Casa Pacifica is grateful to everyone who worked so hard to make it such a huge success! Thank you! 10 Gift Card Wish List G ift Cards: An Easy Way To Give! Stop by your favorite stores and restaurants, or visit their websites to buy gift cards online. Please do not donate bank cards (including those to specific shopping malls), and check to see they don’t charge monthly fees, since many do and that reduces the amount that Casa Pacifica actually can use for the children. Gift cards from individual stores are very helpful!
