Luther Manor welcomes new President/CEO
To all who support our Luther Manor mission,
Thank you! We can never say that enough. You are the reason that our Luther Manor mission has and will
continue to thrive for many years to come!
Each year in April, we celebrate our wonderful volunteers who have given more than 46,000 hours of
dedicated service to the residents and participants at our three locations—Luther Manor in Wauwatosa,
Lakefield Adult Day Service in Grafton and Luther Manor at River Oaks in Mequon.
Every day, our volunteers display genuine acts of kindness through gifts of service that enhance the care
we provide and enrich the lives of those we serve. We recognize the important role volunteers have had in
building our strong heritage and the vital contributions they will continue to make as we head into the future.
We also extend a heartfelt thanks to our donors. Your generosity through monetary gifts to the Luther Manor
Foundation has enabled Luther Manor to carry out our time-honored tradition of never having to ask residents
to leave because of an inability to pay for care. Since its establishment in 1985, the Luther Manor Foundation
has been able to provide financial support totaling more than $8.8 million to residents in need, many at the
final stages of their lives. This amazing story of sharing God’s love is a testament to the impact you make on
residents’ lives. We are humbled by the generosity you show our residents and all who benefit from your gifts.
We are thankful for the continued support of the Friends of Luther Manor members who continue down the
path of successful fundraising through their special annual Love Lights event. This festive gathering provides
a moment of reflection and healing during the busy Christmas season. Each light on the special designated
Christmas tree sparkles with fond memories. This past year, Love Lights raised $10,400 from donations that
paid tribute to loved ones through the purchase of lights. The Friends of Luther Manor also works tirelessly
year-round to spread awareness about Luther Manor and our mission.
It is your investment in our mission through your time and treasure that we will grow from in the future. In the
coming months, I hope to meet you and hear your reason for serving Luther Manor. Thank you for your partnership.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Chedid, President and CEO

Early this year, the United
Lutheran Program for the Aging
Board of Directors announced the
appointment of Stephanie Chedid
as President and CEO of Luther
Manor. The appointment came
after nearly a yearlong search in
anticipation of the Rev. David J.
Keller’s retirement.
“We are delighted to have Stephanie
join our team,” said United Lutheran
Program for the Aging Board
Chairman Dale Kirchner.
Chedid is the third executive
to hold the position in Luther
Manor’s more than 50-year history
of serving older adults.
“I feel a tremendous sense of
responsibility and I am excited
to preserve the spirit of what has
been accomplished as we evolve
to meet the future needs of our
residents, employees and the
community overall,” Chedid said.
Chedid comes to Luther Manor
from Cleary Gull Advisors Inc., a
Milwaukee-based advisory firm
where she served as President. She
dedicated her business to working
in the health care sector and
with not-for-profit organizations
specializing in aging services
across the nation. In addition, she

Volunteers gathered for the Den of Antiquity milestone luncheon in October.
Volunteers are molded to
serve by the very hands of
the divine Potter. A potter,
a master artisan, uses basic
materials of clay and water.
When mixed together, the clay
is made pliable, smoothed
and creatively shaped, gently,
between the potter’s hands.
Historically, clay jars and bowls
were utility pieces needed to
sustain nourishment. They held
life-giving water to be shared
with families and communities.
Each of us are wonderfully
crafted, molded and shaped
for a purpose. Like jars of clay
with space inside we each have
unique talents and skills inside
of us. These are the treasures and
gifts that we have been given.
These spiritual gifts are meant to
be poured out and shared.
Volunteers are essential for
Luther Manor’s mission
and ministry. They enhance
the programs, services and
opportunities that we can offer
older adults of the greater
Milwaukee community. We are
all shaped to volunteer for a
purpose. What does your clay
jar hold? g

How much money
could possibly be
raised selling gently
used household
items for pocket
change? You might
be surprised.
After 23 years of
business, Luther
Manor’s resale
shop, the Den
of Antiquity,
reached its
$500,000
milestone on
Sept. 2, 2014.
The money raised by the Den of
Antiquity is gifted to the Luther Manor
Foundation to help support Luther
Manor residents who have outlived their
financial resources.
“To think that the Den of Antiquity has
brought in over $500,000 for the Luther
Manor Foundation is truly amazing,”
said Resource Development Officer Mary
Kanavas. “I’d like to give a big ‘thank
you’ to all the volunteers, in-kind donors
and the customers of the Den. We all
share in this achievement.”
The idea to house a resale at Luther Manor
more than two decades ago originated with
Terrace resident Sr. Rose Kroeger.
“I always felt it was a vision from the
Lord,” Kroeger said. “It’s nice to see the
legacy carried on.”
Before Luther Manor had a space set
aside for a resale shop, donated items
were sold at Maxwell Street Days.
Kroeger served as manager of the Den of
Antiquity from it’s opening until 2002.
The Den is open to Luther Manor
residents and family members,
program participants, volunteers
and staff. A dedicated team of about
20 volunteers keep the Den running
smoothly. They do everything from
sorting and displaying items, to
cashiering and bagging purchases.
Today only one of the Den’s charter
members—Carol Coraggio—is
still a volunteer. Coraggio began
volunteering with her mother,
Millie Cap. Now she is joined by her
daughter, Laurie, a third-generation
Den volunteer.
“We are really pleased we are able to
help so many people,” Coraggio said.

Miloudi Elafess gets a few giggles
while volunteering as a Senior
Chuckles clown.
”“There is a lot we
can learn from
the elderly.
”“The entire
community must
come together to
care for the young
and the old.
Volunteers from around the
unite to serve
older adults
w rld
Luther Manor volunteers are a
special group of people. They
come in all ages, from all walks of
life. They have different religious
beliefs and ethnic backgrounds,
but they are united by their
commitment to serving older
adults and making a difference at
Luther Manor.
“Luther Manor is very unique in
that although we are a faith-based
nonprofit organization, we have a
very diverse group of volunteers,”
said Director of Volunteer Services
Cheryl Schmitz. “It reflects our
global society. We have volunteers
of so many different cultural
backgrounds and that’s very
special because there is so much
we can share and learn from one
another.”
Miloudi
Elafess is
one such
volunteer.
Originally
from
Morocco,
Elafess
has been
living in
Wisconsin
for 34 years.
He came
on-board
as a Luther
Manor
volunteer
in 2003 and will be
recognized in April for
achieving 10,000 hours of
volunteer service.
Elafess has volunteered
in a number of areas,
including the Health
Care Center Life Enrichment, for
the Employee Family Event and
Holiday Decorating.
“There is a lot we can learn from
the elderly,” said Elafess. “We
can learn how they lived; some
lived during wars and the Great
Depression. This is history. In the
Arab world, they teach kids to
respect the elders. You are to
do what they tell you.”
Elafess qualified that
an “elder” is “anyone
older than you.”
That’s a
sentiment
that is
pretty
common
across
cultures.
Menyene
Akpan,
15, and
Precious
Akpan, 12,
are from
Nigeria
and have
lived in Wisconsin for 10
years. They volunteer in the
Health Care Center.
“Pretty much whatever they
say goes,” agreed Menyene
Akpan.
Menyene and Precious have
dedicated 141 and 47 hours of
volunteer service, respectively.
“(Elders) are treated with
respect,” said first-generation
Indian immigrant Rema Kunnath.
Kunnath volunteers in the Ice
Cream Parlor and has logged 62
volunteer service hours. “They are
thought to have a lot of wisdom.”
Older adults are also actively
involved in family life.
“In Laos it’s very common
that the older adults help
in child rearing,” said Yenh
Mikolajewski, who was born
in a Thailand refugee camp

“(Elders) are treatedwith respect. Theyare thought to havea lot of wisdom.
before coming to the United States
in 1981. “There is that saying that it
takes a village to raise a child and
that is really true. Everyone plays
a part.”
Mikolajewski has volunteered
in the Health Care Center and
Courtyards, as well as the Den of
Antiquity. She has gifted a total 24
service hours.
In India, Morocco, Laos and
Nigeria the elderly are generally
cared for by family members in the
home.
“Most elderly people stay with
their families,” said Elafess. “My
mother was cared for by my niece-
-her granddaughter. The elderly
always stay with their families.”
In India it depends on a family’s
financial status, said Raji
Palathinkara who has lived in
Wisconsin for 22 years. He has
volunteered in the Health Care
Center and the Courtyards and has
given 27 hours of service.
“Usually the children of the person
cares for them,” said Palathinkara.
“This used to be the daughter-
in-law, but over recent years is
not limited to just her but by all
children. If a family can afford it, a
caretaker or nurse may be hired to
help.”
Ultimately, the care of the
society’s youngest
and oldest
populations
depends on the
community.
“It’s not just
family,” said
Mikolajewski.
“The entire
community must come together
to care for the young and the
old. Luther Manor is this kind
of community. We care for each
other.”
But the relationships that form
between volunteers and residents
are far from one-sided.
“You know if someone isn’t
capable of doing something
themselves, you help them,”
Menyene said. “But you can learn
so much from them.”
“They all have special and unique
stories,” agreed Mikolajewski.
“They have faced challenges and
overcome difficulties. You can see
the resiliency, and it’s made them
strong.”
That being said, sometimes the
simplest actions are the most
meaningful.
“Elders just like someone to be
there for them,” Kunnath said.
“They like conversation, and it
feels good to be around them.”
Opportunities to make a
difference at Luther
Manor are as diverse
as the volunteers.

with faith-based organizations and
their governing boards. Prior to
joining Cleary Gull in 2006, Chedid
was a Senior Vice President with
Robert W. Baird and Co.
“Stephanie’s many years of
financial leadership and planning
in the nonprofit health care sector
make her an outstanding addition
to the Luther Manor community,”
Kirchner said.
Her professional accomplishments
and achievements in the
community confirm her credentials
as an effective and highly
disciplined leader. In 2014, The
Milwaukee Business Journal
recognized Chedid’s professional
achievements and community
involvement by naming her as one
of its “Women of Influence.”
In addition to being known
for service in the Milwaukee
community, Chedid is a frequent
speaker at national conferences in
the Aging Services field. She is an
active member of Leading Age,
the national association of not-for-
profit organizations dedicated to
making America a better place to
grow old.
“In the short time I have been with
Luther Manor, one thing is already
clear,” Chedid said. “The sense of
family has risen to the top in my
conversations with both staff and
residents. This has lead to a sense
of mutual respect, compassion,
deep relationships and care for
one another. It extends beyond
our staff and residents to our more
than 400 volunteers and is what
drives us in delivering the highest
quality experience across our
continuum of care.” g

They are really wise,
beautiful people,
and a joy
to spend time with.
“
Kay Fitch
In a room just beyond the Life
Enrichment Center of the Luther Manor
Courtyards, a group of residents gathers
every Wednesday afternoon to explore
their creativity.
Visitors to the Courtyards have probably
seen the fruits of their labors—creations
come in the form of ceiling decorations
and centerpieces, wall hangings and
artwork—all adding color, life, and
personality to the Courtyards corridors.
Leading the Wednesday afternoon
craft sessions is
volunteer Kay Fitch.
Fitch began her
volunteer service
at Luther Manor in
February of 2014.
“I actually came on with the intention of
being a Hospice volunteer,’” Fitch said.
“For many years I worked as an LPN
at St. Luke’s and that was where I first
learned of the Hospice ministry. I met a
Hospice nurse and I was in awe of her.”
Although Fitch has been volunteering
with the Luther Manor Hospice program,
Director of Volunteer Services Cheryl
Schmitz saw other ways that Fitch could
share her talents.
“When I found out that Kay was a florist
and a talented crafter I thought she
would be a great candidate to lead the
Courtyards craft group,” Schmitz said.
Fitch’s background makes her uniquely
qualified to lead the craft group. Not only
has she been crocheting and sewing since
she was 8 and 11, respectively, she was
a florist at Bluemel’s Garden Center and
Landscaping for six years and the Bradley
Center for four years. In addition, she
makes and decorates cakes for weddings.
Fitch has a core group of crafters who
attend the weekly Wednesday sessions.
Initially, residents made some crafts for
themselves such as door decorations and
centerpieces that would brighten their
living spaces. Then they branched out
to make gifts for family and friends, and
pieces to sell at the annual Luther Manor
Holiday Bazaar.
“They were really excited about making
items for the bazaar and things for
family,” Fitch said. “They take so much
pride in the things they make and enjoy
showing them to family
members. They are
really wise, beautiful
people and a joy to
spend time with. We
have a lot of laughs
together.”

The hand is the most frequently
symbolized part of the human body.
It gives blessing, it is expressive. It is
used in gestures of greeting and friendship.
According to Aristotle, the hand is the “tool of tools.” In
general, it is strength, power, and protection. However, it can
just as easily mean generosity, hospitality and stability, hence
the saying “lend a hand.”
We hope this summer students will think about lending their
young, healthy, and empowered hands to assist (and learn
from) older, tired yet experienced hands. Why lend a hand?
Why volunteer? There are many reasons to consider…
• Volunteering is an opportunity to brighten someone else’s
day and empower yourself.
• Volunteering provides insight into health care careers for
students.
• Volunteering helps students be productive, be involved
with positive activities, have fun, learn new skills, and gives
them something to add to their resume.
• People volunteer because they are passionate about the
ministry or cause.
• Some schools insist on volunteer service to fulfill graduation
requirements. We know volunteering looks GREAT on
college applications and helps in applying for scholarships.
Luther Manor offers a summer student volunteer program
for young people ages 12 and older. We request a minimum
commitment of 30 hours.

A new project Fitch and the crafters have
taken on is making lap blankets for new
residents.
“These are blankets that are gifts from
the heart,” she said. “They are made by
residents as a welcome gift to their
new neighbors.’”
Residents and staff sing Fitch’s praises.
“There is no doubt about it, she is a very
talented volunteer in the area of crafts,”
said Courtyards Life Enrichment Specialist
Mark Mrozek.
Mrozek recruited Fitch to help realize his
vision of creating a flexible theater space in
the Life Enrichment Center.
With the help of another volunteer, Rose
Miller, Fitch made (32) 7.5’ x 3’ panels
that can be hung from the ceiling to create
curtains and a stage.
Courtyards performing groups, which
include the Bell Choir, Theater Guild, and
CALM Singers, utilized the space for the
first time during the presentation of the
holiday concert.
“Seeing them actually performing in the
space was really rewarding,” Fitch said.
Fitch hopes to expand crafts and offer a
mobile version to residents in Memory
Care who could also benefit from the
creative activities. Fitch said she is inspired
by volunteers like Eunice Koehler and
she plans on brainstorming other ways to
enhance birthday parties in the Courtyards
with the arts.
To date, Fitch has donated more than 1,370
service hours in the Courtyards and as a
hospice volunteer.

Road to recovery
Volunteer transporters play
a vital role in Rehabilitation
Center by assisting staff and
encouraging patients
A friendly smile, a kind word, a
gentle touch—these are simple
things. But Dan Seitz knows simple
things can be very significant to
someone who is struggling or
having a hard day.
Seitz is a transport volunteer—a
person who escorts Luther Manor
Transitional Care Rehabilitation
Center patients from their rooms to
their therapy appointments.
“One of my spiritual gifts is to be
an encourager,” Seitz said. “Often
encouragement is what rehab center
patients really need at this moment
in their lives. It can be a difficult
time.”
Seitz began his volunteer service at
Luther Manor in October of 2014,
but he had been thinking about
it for a while. He believes it was
providence that eventually led him
to action, because a month or so
after he started volunteering, his
mother-in-law, a Terrace resident,
was admitted to the rehabilitation
center.
“Having me already there, as
volunteer, made a big difference to
her,” he said.
Seitz typically transports on
Tuesday mornings. He comes
in around quarter to eight
and punches in his time in the
Volunteer Services Center. Then
he heads to the rehabilitation gym
area across from the pharmacy.
“We like to have three volunteers
scheduled for every morning,”
said Luther Manor staff member
Kasondra Owens. Among Owens’
duties is coordinating patient
transportation.
Transporters like Seitz typically
dedicate three to four hours on the
days they volunteer. During that
time, Seitz said he can transport
five or six people to and from
therapy appointments.
“Being a transporter is one way
that you can serve the Lord and
stay active,” Seitz said. “Pushing a
wheelchair for three or four hours
is great exercise.”
Seitz also enjoys his interaction
with staff, other volunteers, and
the patients.
“I like transporting because
I get to know people,” he
said. “Oftentimes people
spend several weeks in
therapy so we are able to
Dan Seitz
develop a relationship. I hope that
the encouragement I give them,
or the interest I show in them,
makes a difference, if even for a
moment.”
But transporters don’t just make
a difference in the life of patients;
they make a difference in the lives
of staff members, as well.
“I can’t say enough about how
much I appreciate them all,”
Owens said. “Dan is always
very willing to help out. There
is nothing I can ask him that he
won’t be willing to do.”
Dayna Hein, Manager of
HealthReach at Luther Manor,
said the role of volunteers is
instrumental to therapy.
“Volunteers are absolutely vital,”
she said.
To date, Seitz has given more
than 80 service hours. A retired
computer software engineer, Seitz
said volunteering has been very
fulfilling.
“I worked in business for 30
years and it was always about
the dollar,” he said. “Here it’s
about the people. Serving is so
much more gratifying. I feel
very appreciative to have this
opportunity.”

a transporter, call Luther Manor

From a little rehab to the Little Shoppe
Rehabilitation Center graduates become Luther Manor volunteers
Sharon Robins & Maureen Endres
The Luther Manor Transitional Care Rehabilitation
Center prides itself on being the bridge between the
hospital and home. For two guests, however, the
rehabilitation center was also the introduction to
vocation of Luther Manor volunteer service.
Sharon Robins began her volunteer service in February
of 2014. She is regularly scheduled in the Little Shoppe
on the third Monday and Thursday mornings of the
month. On the second Monday of the month, you can
find her in the Terrace Manor Mart.
“I mostly work the cash register,” she said. “A lot of
people don’t like to monkey around with the money,
but it’s something I am good at.”
Before Robins became a Luther Manor volunteer, she
was a two-time guest of the rehabilitation center.
“The first time I was here was in January of 2012 when
I was recovering from hip surgery,” she said. “Then I
had surgery on my other hip the following year.”
After her second surgery, Robins retired from her
position in Human Resources at Cargill, where she
worked for 18 years.
“If I wasn’t here, I’d be sitting in my house watching
TV. How much TV can a person watch?” She joked.
In addition to her regular volunteer schedule, Robins
also is a sub and fills in when needed. To date, Robins
has given more than 200 hours of volunteer services.
Maureen Endres, like Robins, spent time in the Luther
Manor rehabilitation center before becoming a volunteer.
“It was actually the woman who was my next-door
neighbor in rehab who told me about volunteering,”
Endres said. “She said she was a Luther Manor
volunteer and she really enjoyed it.”
Endres began her volunteer service in August of
2014. She volunteers regularly in the Little Shoppe on
Monday mornings and on Thursdays she sells meal
passes. She has also recently been trained to help out
in the pharmacy. To date, she has given more than 100
hours.
Endres, who worked as a bartender for almost 30 years,
is a naturally social person; so being able to interact
with Luther Manor residents, staff, and visitors is a joy
for her.
“I love getting out and just being with people,” she
said. “The people at Luther Manor are wonderful.”
Although Endres would like to get back into the
workforce, she finds volunteering at Luther Manor to
be a satisfying alternative.
“It’s my way of giving back,” she said. “It also keeps
me busy and keeps the blood flowing.”

A friendship made in Manor Mart
Volunteer-staff partners stock shelves and make memories
Terrace resident Orville Treptow was taking a walk
in the Garden Terrace one day when he saw a woman
wrestling with inventory for the Terrace shop.
“I was walking past and she looked like she could use
a hand,” Treptow said. “I felt sorry for her.”
So Treptow offered to help out. The woman, Luther
Manor Materials Management Specialist Roberta
Pratt, accepted his offer.
That was 15 years ago. Today Treptow and Pratt
continue to work together, and are one of Luther
Manor’s best known staff-volunteer partnerships.
Although Treptow’s post is voluntary, he treats it
like a job. He reports to duty at 6:30 every weekday
morning. When Pratt takes time off, he takes time off.
He even calls Pratt his boss—albeit somewhat tongue-
in-cheek.
“I am not his boss,” Pratt insisted. “Sometimes he
comes to me and asks me for time off if he’s got a
doctor’s appointment or something. I tell him he’s a
volunteer: he can take time off whenever he wants.
Orville Treptow and Roberta Pratt
But it’s nice that he is so considerate.”
When Treptow and Pratt’s partnership began, the
Terrace sundry shop was located in the area currently
inhabited by the Garden Fitness room and it was
called The Commissary. In 1998 it was relocated to its
current location and renamed the Manor Mart.
Part of Pratt’s job is keeping the inventory at the
Manor Mart stocked. Treptow helps in a variety of
ways.
“We usually go shopping to replenish the inventory
once a week,” Pratt said. “He comes with me and
unloads the cart and puts the items on the conveyor.
That gives me time to separate the items by category
so when we get back to Luther Manor it’s easier for
me to unpack.”
Back at Luther Manor, Treptow helps with pricing
and facing items in the Manor Mart.
“Orville began his ‘official’ volunteer service in
November 2000, although he partnered with Roberta
prior to that date,” said Cheryl Schmitz, Director

A round of applause
for our volunteers
of Volunteer Services. “That was when we finally
convinced him to come on-board as a volunteer.”
To date, Treptow has gifted more than 10,920 service
hours.
“What he has done for me and Luther Manor, I could
never pay back,” Pratt said.
After so many years of working together, it’s not
surprising that Pratt and Treptow are pretty much
like family. He’s watched her children grow up and
attended many of their sporting events. Pratt has
attended Treptow family reunions. In the summer
they often barbecue and in the fall and winter they
watch Packers games.
Pratt even took Treptow as her guest to an Employee
recognition Banquet a few years ago.
“He didn’t want to come,” she said. “He’s a very picky
eater. Finally he said ‘if you can get me a hot dog, I’ll
go.’”
Pratt was able to make arrangements with dining
services so Treptow could have his hot dog.
“She’s a good boss—a good person,” Treptow said.
“We are kind of opposites. She can be a perfectionist
and very serious.”
“In all these years I’ve never seen him mad,” Pratt
said. “He’s always got a sense of humor.”
And for those who see Treptow volunteering and
think he works too hard, he takes issue.
“I don’t think of it as work,” he said. “She does all the
hard stuff. Volunteering keeps me going.”
And though he doesn’t have a clock to punch, you
won’t see Treptow helping Pratt past 1 p.m. He has a
standing TV date with “General Hospital,” which he
has been watching for 63 years.
“All the time we have spent together,” Pratt said. “I
wouldn’t trade it for anything.

St. John’s Lutheran Church
More than fifty years ago, a group
of ELCA congregations in the city
proper and greater Milwaukee area
saw the need for elder care in the
community. Guided by the hand of
faith, these congregations formed
the United Luther Program for
the Aging, also known as Luther
Manor, to serve this need.
One of these congregations is St.
John’s Lutheran Church. St. John’s,
located on the corner of Davidson
and Barker roads in Brookfield,
was established in 1962 with Pastor
Ralph Baumbach at the helm. The
first worship service had 200 people.
Today the congregation is 940
members strong, with some three-
generation families in the mix.
“We have a really strong sense of
community and caring for each
other,” said LoAnn Petermann,
a member of St. John’s Lutheran
Church and a Keyperson for
the Friends of Luther Manor
fundraising and advocacy group.
“People don’t just talk the talk; they
walk the walk.”
The mission of St. John’s is
“Following Jesus; Making Disciples;
Serving the World.” The church’s
core values are serving in the world,
locally and globally; inspiring
worship and music that honor God;
nurturing relationships with one
another as Jesus walks with us;
growing in God’s grace through
education and discipleship; and
engaging children and youth in the
life of the church.
“St. John’s has a deep heart for
outreach of all kinds,” said Senior
Pastor Jennifer Arnold. Arnold has
been St. John’s leader for a little
more than three years.
The church is active in the local
community, with members
preparing lunch every Monday at
‘Following Jesus. Making disciples. Serving the world.’
St. John’s Lutheran revitalizes partnership with Luther Manor
the Hope Center in Waukesha and
volunteering with other services
agencies, as well. St. John’s offers
a preschool, Vacation Bible School,
and Sunday school for children in
the local community.
In the global community, St.
John’s partners with a parish
in Tanzania and in El Salvador.
A number of members have
participated in mission trips over
the years. St. John’s also has a
very active partnership with All
People’s Church in Milwaukee
and the women do combined
annual retreats.
Small group ministry – such as
Bible Study, book clubs and women
and men’s faith support groups
are also an important part of what
Petermann called “in-reach,”
strengthening the church’s sense
of community through faith-based
fellowship activities. The Women’s
Ministries structure is very strong
and active in providing services to
the congregation, enrichment
for the women, and many
service opportunities.
“We also have a great music
program,” Arnold said. “We
have a hand bell choir and
a senior choir. Our music
coordinator is a blessing. An
amazing praise band supports
our weekly contemporary
service.”
Serving older adults is another
important aspect of St. John’s
ministries, which are part of the

- 13 -- 13 -
supporters
Luther Manor
reason members like Petermann are
reinvigorating the congregation’s
partnership with Luther Manor.
“Our connection to Luther Manor
has been through our families,”
Petermann said.
For the past three years, Petermann
and Kathi Campbell, who is also
a member at St. John’ Lutheran
Church, have been working to
build awareness about Luther
Manor and the services the
organization provides, as well as
increase membership to the Friends
of Luther Manor.
“Luther Manor is an amazing
place and we want to show our
support,” Petermann said. “We
are kind of in the baby stages. We
did a cookie drive last year and
raised 70 dozen cookies. We hosted
our first Friends of Luther Manor
membership drive in March.”
Strengthening the relationship with
all of the United Lutheran Program
for the Aging affiliate churches is a
priority for Luther Manor, too.
“We are looking forward to
renewing our relationship with
St. John’s in Brookfield,” said
Mary Kanavas, Luther Manor
Resource Development Officer.
“As one of our partner churches,
it is important for parishioners to
know about Luther Manor, our
living options and the resources we
have available for them. People are
always amazed when they find out
everything we have to offer.”

The Golden Rule blesses
the Golden Years
Notes from Pastor Dave Patterson
Luther Manor is a special place where people of different cultures and
faiths unite to share God’s love.
For the fact is all major religions follow the principle that Jesus
expressed in the Golden Rule,
“Do to others as you would have them do to you.”
The Baha’i Faith teaches: “Lay not on any soul a load that you would
not wish to be laid upon you.”
Buddhism instructs the enlightened to “Treat not others in ways that
you yourself would find hurtful.”
Confucianism states: “One word which sums up the basis of all good
conduct ...loving kindness.”
Adherents of Hinduism believe “This is the sum of duty: do not do to
others what would cause pain if done to you.”
Islam encourages love for others in the tenet, “Not one of you truly
believes until you wish for others what you wish for yourself.”
Judaism offers this wise counsel, “What is hateful to you, do not do to
your neighbor. This is the whole Torah; all the rest is commentary.”
Native American wisdom states, “All things are
our relatives; what we do to everything, we do to
ourselves. All is really One.”
Sikhism professes, “I am a stranger to no one; and
no one is a stranger to me. Indeed, I am a
friend to all.”
Adherents of Taoism are guided
by the doctrine, “Regard your
neighbor’s gain as your own
gain, and your neighbor’s
loss as your own loss.”
It is wonderful to
see in a world where
differences often
separate us, that at
Luther Manor God’s
call to love one another
makes us one in mission,
ministry and service.

”“The Friends of Luther Manor
is thrilled to be able to
contribute each year to
projects that improve the
lives of the residents
at Luther Manor.
Let your Love Lights shine
The Friends of Luther Manor
celebrated the fifth year of Love
Lights, which culminated in a tree
lighting ceremony on Dec. 11, 2014.
Outfitted with new blue and white
LED lights and a star tree-topper,
the Love Lights tree shined even
brighter than in previous years,
thanks to the generous donations
made to the Friends of Luther
Manor.
The Friends of Luther Manor is
an all-volunteer fundraising and
advocacy organization. The Friends
raise money through membership
dues and the Love Lights event,
during which individual lights
and strands of lights are sold for
$5 and $100
respectively,
to honor or
memorialize
loved ones. The
money raised
from these
efforts goes
toward specific
funding
projects each year.
New tree decorations and lights
were among the list of items on
the Friends of Luther Manor 2014
funding projects.
Through the sale of lights, as well
as the sponsorships received from
Krause Funeral and Cremation
Services, Realty Executives,
Paratech Ambulance Service and
Kanavas Landscape Management,
the Friends of Luther Manor
surpassed the goal of
$10,000.
On Dec. 11, Friends of Luther
Manor President Sandy Wals
presented a check to Vice
President and Administrator
Dave Beinlich in the amount of
$10,850 to fulfill the 2014 funding
commitment.
“The Friends of Luther Manor is
thrilled to be able to contribute
each year to projects that improve
the lives of the residents at Luther
Manor,” Wals said.
More than 100 residents, staff and
guests attended this year’s Love
Lights event.
Pastor Wolf
Knappe and
Father Wayne
Mionske offered
blessings to the
groups gathered
to watch the
tree-lighting
ceremony from
the warmth of the
Welcome Center
and the Health Care Center lobby
windows.
Pastor Dave Patterson led the
group gathered outside in prayer
as the tree lit up the night sky for
the first time.

Dear Friends of Luther Manor members,
.
2015 Funding Projects
Luther Manor Campus – New signage
Cost: $4,120
Continuing with 2015 campus updates, Friends of Luther
Manor will contribute to helping replace and update
campus signage.
Luther Manor Campus – Outdoor benches
Cost: $3,000
Six new outdoor benches made of recycled plastic and
guaranteed to last a lifetime will replace current wooden
benches around campus.
Luther Manor – Love Lights tree
Cost: $1,280
This covers the cost of preparing the Love Lights tree each
year. The lights and tree topper will be professionally
strung and then removed at the end of the Advent season.
In 2014 you have again shown your commitment
to enriching the lives of the Luther Manor residents
and program participants. Between
membership drives and the fifth annual
Love Lights you raised more than
$16,200. These proceeds were used to
fully fund the 2014 projects and have
given us a jump start to the funding of
the 2015 projects (listed at the bottom of
the page).
It was another great year, and I’ll touch
on a few of the highlights. First was
the general membership fall meeting
and luncheon held on Sept. 25. We
again had a fashion show that featured
Terrace residents modeling items available in the Luther
Manor Den of Antiquity. They accessorized with jewelry
and scarves made by Life Enrichment staff.
Second was the Jingle Mingle on Dec. 4. The purpose
of this gathering was to introduce new Luther Manor
residents to the Friends at a “get to know you” cookie,
coffee and punch social. The event was well attended
and did garner some new members.
The Friends of Luther Manor has been around since 1958
and continues to be an important link between Luther
Manor and partner congregations.
I would like to express my gratitude to all the Friends
members for their support as I stepped into the role of
Courtyards at Luther Manor – Two Hoyer lifts
Cost: $4,000
A Hoyer lift will be available on each side of the
Courtyards. The nursing team uses the lift to safely assist
residents who have fallen. This piece of equipment not
only ensures the residents’ safety, but safety for the staff,
as well.
Luther Manor Terrace – Aquarium
Cost: $3,600
Located in a common area of the Terrace, the aquarium
provides many hours of relaxing entertainment on a daily
basis to residents and guests. The aquarium is leased for a
two year period. All maintenance, equipment, and fish are
provided.
Funding Projects Total: $16,000
president and have worked
to guide us in meaningful
direction over the past year.
I look forward to working
with Luther Manor’s new
President and CEO Stephanie
Chedid going forward.
Also, a big thank you to all the
Keypersons and Co-Workers
who manage the church membership drives. Your hard
work and dedication are so appreciated.
Thank you to all of the members for your support of
Luther Manor. Together we will continue to share God’s
love by enriching the lives of older adults through
excellent housing, care and services.
Sincerely,
Sandy Wals,
President of the Friends of Luther Manor

Luther Manor
All gifts that Luther Manor receives from donors make a difference in the lives of residents and program participants.
Designated gifts are those donations that are earmarked for a specific item. Sometimes donors have specific gifts in
mind, but for donors who need some suggestions, managers from program areas across Luther Manor submit wish
list items, or items that fall outside of the realm of the standard operating budget, to Resource Development for
consideration. These items are compiled into a list called “Opportunities to Give,” which is located on page 18.
“Our ‘Opportunities to Give’ document enables the donor to see the many diverse needs of the entire Luther
Manor campus,” said Resource Development Officer Mary Kanavas. “Donations we receive for items on this list
are so very important to helping us serve our residents and participants in the best possible way.”
In 2014, donors generously supported many of these wish list items. Listed below are a few examples of designated
gifts made by donors that are improving the lives of those who utilize Luther Manor’s programs and services.
Make a joyful sound
Music is a big part of the lives of the residents in the
Luther Manor Courtyards. Not only do they have
many musical
guests, they have a
variety of activities
that revolve around
music including Bell
Choir, Hymn Sing,
and choir.
A donor who loves
music designated
funding for a
digital piano for the
Courtyards.
“It’s a very nice piano that has many sounds,” said
Mark Mrozek, Courtyards Life Enrichment Specialist
and professional pianist. “It has organs, strings,
pianos and electric pianos that I can layer and
combine in many different ways. It also has drum
beats built into it.”
Mrozek uses the piano to perform throughout
Luther Manor (the piano debuted at Love Lights in
December) and for the Courtyards residents.
“There is no maintenance or tuning, unlike the
traditional piano we were using,” Mrozek said. “So
it is a cost savings that way. This gift has given the
residents a quality instrument to work with and
listen to that is always in perfect tune and capable of
meeting our music needs for the foreseeable future.”
Celebrate the Eucharist
Traditionally, the Eucharist has been celebrated one
Sunday each month at Luther Manor.
The donation of communion intinction sets has
enabled the Pastoral Care department to honor a
request expressed by residents to share Christ’s body
and blood, given into bread and wine, more often.
A communion intinction set has a plate and a
connected chalice so that a single server can administer
both communion elements by dipping the communion
wafer into the consecrated wine for distribution.
“Receiving Christ’s body and blood in the Sacrament
of the Altar as the Lord commanded, helps the believer
remember Jesus’ sacrifice, strengthens our faith, brings
spiritual peace and the assurance of forgiveness, and
nurtures the communicants’ relationship with other
church members and the risen Savior,” said Director of
Pastoral Care Dave Patterson.
More than a chair
Residents of the Health Care Center or in the Hospice
program often need more support than a wheelchair
can provide.
Broda chairs are the preferred alternative to the
wheelchair for residents who cannot get around
unassisted, or have special skin conditions that require
frequent repositioning.
“Broda chairs have Comfort Tension Seating, which
helps prevent pressure and creates long term comfort,”
Designated gifts make a difference

Luther Manor
said Luanne Schmidt, Director of Nursing.
“The chair offers infinitely adjustable tilt and
recline options to help with positioning, which
also contributes to comfort.”
A donor honed in on this need and funded
two Broda chairs last year.
“As soon as they were donated and received
they were out on the units being used,”
Schmidt said. “We are very grateful. That is
one less chair we have to rent.“
Have a seat
Luther Manor has a beautiful, 29-acre campus
with manicured lawns, beautiful plants, and
inviting landscaping. Spending time outdoors
has many
health benefits
and residents
and program
participants
are encouraged
to get some
rejuvenating
fresh air
during the
warm-weather
months.
Thanks
to donor
designated funds, those who want to enjoy the
outdoors will have more places to sit. Eight
benches have been purchased and will be
place outside in the spring.
“There will be a couple near the
Administration building, a couple near the
Courtyards, one near the entrance to the
rehabilitation center, and a few up around
the pond area near the North Terrace dining
area,” said Shaun Nummerdor, Grounds/
Transportation Supervisor.
Benches seat two and are made of recycled
plastic.
If you would like to designate a special gift,
contact Resource Development Officer Mary
Kanavas at (414) 464-3880, ext. 462. g
Residents and visitors use
the donated benches located
throughout the grounds.

What will your Legacy be?
Planned giving makes a lasting impact
- Nelson Henderson
When you incorporate planned giving into your estate
planning you are creating the groundwork for your lasting
legacy that will help secure the future for the older adults in
the community.
A planned gift exemplifies a high degree of stewardship and
commitment to Christian charitable principles. It requires
thoughtful and prayerful decision-making. Whether you are
at the end of the deliberative process or at the beginning it is
helpful to review the various kinds of planned gifts and what
their benefit will be.
In partnership with the Rev. Larry Westfield, Regional Gift
Planner for the ELCA Foundation, the Luther Manor Resource
Development department has been able to help many
individuals realize their planned giving
goals.
A planned gift can be as simple
as a bequest in a will or trust, or
perhaps charitable gift annuities,
life insurance policies or deferred
gift annuities will better meet your
estate planning needs.
Along with realizing the planned
giving tools available to you and
with advice from your financial
advisor, making a planned gift
could be just the type of legacy
you would like to leave.
Let your gift be the seeds of the
trees that will grow and your
generosity provide the “shade”
for future generations.
If you are interested in information
about planned giving, please contact
Resource Development Officer Mary
Kanavas at (414) 464-3880, ext. 462. g
The true meaning of life is to
plant trees under whose shade you
do not expect to sit.

There are many more opportunities to give beyond what is listed above, please contact Mary Kanavas, Resource
Development Officer, at (414) 464-3880, ext. 462, to find out more about any of the current funding needs, or to
discuss how you might contribute to one of these worthwhile causes. Thank you for your prayerful consideration.

Luther Manor Foundation provides safeguard
Luther Manor has never had to ask a resident to leave because of the
inability to pay thanks to the safety net provided by the Resident
Support Fund. Our two annual appeals are a vital part of growing
and sustaining this crucial fund.
Because of your support, last year alone we were able to offer over
$700,000 in support to those residents who have outlived their
financial resources. Those who contributed to the fall appeal gave
more than $60,000.
Health care costs are only going to continue to increase, and people
are living longer, which makes your support of the Luther Manor
Foundation so crucial. Your donations help us continue our time-
honored commitment to our residents.
May is Older Americans Month and it will also
be our first appeal for 2015. Please look for
information in the mail and help us to
continue to share God’s love by
enriching the lives of older
adults through excellent
housing, care and services.

and services. In addition to retirement housing, assisted living and long-term care options, we offer
rehabilitation services, adult day services, hospice care and community outreach programs.
Guided by our Christian heritage and values, we consistently strive to exceed the expectations of those
we serve. You can count on our commitment and reputation when selecting housing or health care
services for yourself or someone you love.
If you would like to make a contribution to help support any of the programs or services the Luther
Manor community offers, please contact the Resource Development Office at (414) 464-3880, ext. 447 or
