Dates to Remember

Bibi was born and raised in upstate New York. She has lived in Maryland, Virginia, Connecticut and �nally settled in Texas almost 20 years ago.

After attending Connecticut Technical Institute and receiving her degree in mapping, surveying and drafting, Bibi was recruited by the Connecticut Department of Transportation and quickly promoted to Instrument Operator. She excelled in a �eld dominated by men. After passing a di�cult state exam, she was promoted again to Party Chief which was a notable feat as few passed and most had to retake the test multiple times. She became the �rst woman in the state to work on a surveying crew. “I loved EVERY minute of it,” she said.

Shortly after she and her husband moved to Texas, he was diagnosed with cancer and passed very quickly. Bibi decided to work with a horse trainer in Terrell, training pony horses and thoroughbreds for the race track. Still school beckoned and she earned her Applied Science Agriculture degree at North Central Texas College in Gainesville. “I love school and would still take classes if I could,” she said with a smile. Her passion for agriculture is unchecked; she has seedlings planted everywhere and loves to work in the dirt whenever she can.

Bibi loves animals! She has rescued over 100 abandoned animals—everything from birds to cats and dogs. And, she has found them loving homes. She currently has two small dogs, Kenny and Joey (the boys). When her most beloved companion Chaykota reached the �nal stages of cancer, Bibi asked MMOW for help. A special grant from Ban�eld Charitable Trust made it possible for MMOW to assist with the cost of in-home euthanasia provided by Compassionate Care Pet Services. “I was able to spend a few very precious moments with him before he passed in my arms,” she said. “Thank you.”

Bibi was the �rst meal recipient in Flower Mound and has been a member of the MMOW family for four years. She does not drive, so shopping is problematic. After an extended hospitalization, she is especially grateful for the blessings of home and appreciates MMOW’s support which enables her to live independently. She is a joy to all of the volunteers who meet her and she wants to say, “God bless you and thank you for not only delivering wonderful meals but helping me with errands, transportation and the boys. I cannot express the love in my heart for each and every one of you.”

~From the desk of the Executive Director ~Wow! Thirty-�ve years. Three and a half decades. It sounds like a lot of time, but in so many ways, it feels like only yesterday. MMOW, April 1, 1980—then. MMOW, today—now. Yes, we are bigger. We have grown from delivering meals in one community to an outreach that stretches across parts of three counties. We have provided over 1.2 million meals for thousands of seniors. But, at the core we are still very much the same. As Kelly Bradley, Vertalee Coleman, Emily Ragsdale, Sue Hoke, and Shaun Wicker cooked MMOW’s �rst meal, it was personal—for them and for the �ve seniors who received a meal that �rst day.

Then, Roanoke was a small town where everyone knew everyone. Those �rst meals were prepared by volunteers for their neighbors. Now, although our towns are larger and more suburban, neighborliness remains at the heart of all we do. Thanks to the support and involvement of so many, we have grown from delivering 200 meals in the �rst year to 88,904 meals in 2015. And, all of those meals were accompanied by a smile, a hug, a kind word, or an o�er of assistance. Very, very personal.

Over the years, MMOW has found additional ways to be a good neighbor to our seniors. Senior center luncheons create special events and celebrations for active seniors every week. MMOW’s Stocking Tree, Pet Patrol, Staples for Seniors and nutritional supplement programs gives our neighbors the opportunity to create lots of special memories for our home-delivery participants.

Through the years and the growth, MMOW has continued to provide its services in a very personal way. Ask the volunteers, and you’ll quickly hear that they think they receive more from volunteering than they could ever give. Ask the seniors, and they will say no one could ever make as huge a di�erence in their lives as their volunteers.

For today’s volunteers, it is still personal. For MMOW’s sta�, it is also personal. Each participant is an individual with individual needs. Because it is personal for all of us, we recognize and respect individuality. While we can’t always meet every need, we surely try. In the process, we share smiles, hugs, love, enduring friendships, and more often than not, creative and personal solutions to challenges.

April 1st marked Metroport Meals On Wheels’ 35th anniversary! To help MMOW celebrate this very special date, The Conservatory in Keller Town Square hosted a Black-Tie A�air on April 16th with all proceeds bene�tting Metroport Meals On Wheels. The glamorous event was held at The Conservatory in Keller at Town Center with signature martinis and a sumptuous array of food tastings provided by The Conservatory, The Classic at Roanoke, Truluck’s, Golden Thai, Chick-�l-A, Keller Beverage Company and The Conservatory’s Manny Herrera. Award winning concert pianist Vanddi LaBecki provided the evening’s entertainment.

Virginia Muzyka, Event Chair stated: “The outreach of Metroport Meals On Wheels has been successful because the community recognizes the importance of taking care of our own. We are honored and thrilled that The Conservatory chose MMOW as the bene�ciary of their Black Tie A�air.” MMOW extends special thanks to the Conservatory’s Director, Lisa Skopal and her terri�c team: Manny Herrera, Celia Fancher, Alica Smith, David Zant, Faith Paramore, Jennifer Markum, Amy Dudney, Kasi Thompson, Karon Goad, and Kayla Young.

Fore! June Is Tee Time at MMOW

Robert Finn, Russell Carter, Tim Bock, and Tyler Rainear set the pace for a great day of golf.

The rains ended and 411 golfers teed o� for MMOW’s 24th Annual Golf Classic as scheduled on June 8, 2015. The Golf Classic is MMOW’s largest fundraising event with proceeds from the tournament funding home-delivered meals and senior center programs. This year’s tournament was presented by Allen Samuels at Alliance and Allen Samuels on North Loop 820. The tournament, held at Trophy Club Country Club’s Hogan and Whitworth courses, hosted both morning and afternoon shotgun starts. The MMOW’s Golf Classic o�ered something for everyone.

“For golfers, we continued to add something new with challenging contests, great food and auctions - while o�ering a day on the course for a worthy cause,” said Tournament Chair Robert Finn. Participants enjoyed contests for Hole-in-One, Chipping, Longest Drive, and more. All MMOW golfers received “Tourney Bucks” to make their personal choices in the Callaway mobile pro shop.

Favorite restaurants delighted golfers with delicious food from breakfast through dinner at the 19th Hole Food Festival. Once the afternoon golf round ended, the After Party & Auction began. David Moore Productions entertained with a wide range of music for the evening festivities. An amazing selection of live and silent auction items was open for bidding all day – including travel, exclusive dining packages, sports tickets, golf outings, restaurant dining, and many others. The Golf Classic shared MMOW’s mission and generated funding that makes a dynamic di�erence to our seniors and our community.

The Classic at Roanoke Wines and Dines for MMOW

A stunning winter evening was the perfect backdrop as The Classic at Roanoke hosted its 21st Annual Bene�t Wine Dinner for MMOW. Over 75 friends of Metroport Meals On Wheels and The Classic gathered to enjoy this longstanding tradition.

Owners Chris and Curtis Wells generously donate all proceeds to MMOW. In its inaugural year, their outstanding team of servers donated the gratuities they received. This year’s team continued the heart-warming tradition. C Chef Charles Youts and the entire Classic sta� wowed everyone with a spectacular menu. Appetizers of seared pork belly with balsamic demi-glace and smoked salmon mousse were served with champagne on the patio prior to dinner. The four-course feast was introduced with crab minestrone with lemon infused olive oil followed by a grilled wild mushroom and bread salad with balsamic roasted red pepper herb vinaigrette. The main course was a spectacular presentation of pork Osso Bucco with creamy garlic whipped potatoes, steamed white asparagus and baby carrots. A chocolate ginger tart provided a delectable ending to a fabulous meal. Each course was perfectly complemented with wines courtesy of Paradise Liquors.

It was a delightful evening full of sumptuous food and wine and wonderful company. Thank you to all of the attendees and our great family at The Classic at Roanoke for a more than memorable evening.

The volunteers and stylists had as much fun watchingand pampering as the seniors hod getting their new styles!

Twelve years ago, Glen Alan invited MMOW to bring participants for a morning of pampering at his namesake salon in Southlake. Glen’s stylists loved the idea and donated their time on their day o�, MMOW volunteers served as caring chau�eurs, and a grand tradition was born!

On the Monday before Mother’s Day, the salon was a hubbub of activity. The stylists greeted MMOW’s participants enthusiastically then eagerly shampooed, snipped, curled, and styled their tresses. Glen made sure there were stylists for the guys, too!

Glen’s wife, Tonya, served as o�cial hostess for the group. The weekend before Tonya and their children planned the menu for the box lunches for the participants. List in hand, Jack, Alana, Levi and Ethan headed to the store to purchase all the special ingredients. Sunday evening everything came together as the children prepared and packaged the meals.

While the sta� styled and volunteers beamed their approval, participants snacked on cupcakes provided by Small Cakes of Southlake and exchanged news with the volunteers and MMOW sta�. As each new style was declared a great success, participants were presented with their special lunches and corsages made for them by Ali Kerr-Stewart. The morning ended with hugs and promises to return next year; the huge smiles were proof that there is power in a Good Hair Day!

It’s a Family A�air

While Metroport Meals On Wheels is celebrating their 35th anniversary this year, we at Sadie’s have something to shout about, too! Established on May 15, 1998 and named after Sadie England, MMOW’s very �rst meal recipient, we have enjoyed 17 years of business in Roanoke, TX.

What was once a thrift store on Oak Street, Sadie’s is now an award-winning resale and consignment location that continues to attract savvy buyers and sellers. Our customers know they can count on us to provide some of the most sought after labels in ladies fashion as well as distinctive home furnishings. Our showroom is merchandised every day with new arrivals and displayed with artfulness that delights.

All proceeds exclusively bene�t MMOW and its meal programs for seniors. Sadie’s continues to generate revenue to provide more than 25% of MMOW’s annual income. We are grateful to our customers, donors and consignors for their contribution and look forward to another 17 years of success.

From their HeartsMMOW’s heart radiates through each and every volunteer. Their extra touches, thoughtfulness, and concern know no limits. Our participants and their families share stories of the kindnesses our volunteers bestow on their loved ones. Whether delivering meals, assisting with senior center luncheons, assisting at Sadie’s, or serving on our Board of Trustees or helping with fundraising events, each of our volunteers makes a di�erence in hundreds of lives every day. Their impact is profound and their motivation is love.

2014- An Impactful Year of Neighbors Helping NeighborsBecause of you, MMOW provided nourishment and encouragement to our elderly, chronically ill, or disabled neighbors of any age who were unable to consistently provide for their own nutritional needs. As Neighbors Helping Neighbors, MMOW assisted homebound seniors striving to remain safe and independent in their own homes, the place they most wanted to be. Through community luncheons, MMOW enabled active seniors to enjoy fellowship as they supported one another through friendship, fun, and shared experiences. MMOW engaged the community as well, inspiring support for seniors through a myriad of special services.

OutreachCommunity support and loyal volunteers helped MMOW provide the following services to feed, comfort, and uplift seniors in 2014:- 32,452 hot, home-delivered meals to 250 individuals who ranged in age from 40—98- 33,510 meals at luncheons for over 1,000 seniors in 9 communities,- 7,667 shelf-staple meals so homebound seniors were never without healthy food- 1,544 nutritional supplement meals at no cost to seniors who needed additional nutrition- 145 deliveries of pet food that provided assistance to 52 faithful pet companions plus assistance with veterinary care for 5 pets, and hundreds of fruit baskets and personal gifts for homebound seniors during the holidays.MMOW sends a very special thank you to the 626 volunteers who drove over 60,000 miles delivering meals to participants’ homes and especially to the 276 who have volunteered for between 5 and 34 years.

Outcomes 9% of home-delivery participants' conditions improved to the point that they were able discontinue meals and resume normal activities of daily living.88% were able to continue living independently in their homes.94% reported feeling safer knowing that a volunteer would be checking in on them daily.

MMOW structures programs that have a solid community basis, partnering with the communities we serve, with resources in those communities, and with active community volunteers to enhance the quality of life for everyone.

MMOW has created a diversi�ed funding base to ensure strength, stability, and sustainability for the supportive services we provide. Coupled with a strong grassroots philosophy and an ongoing commitment to operational e�ciency, MMOW e�ectively serves the needs of its participants and is well positioned to meet future demand.

During 2014, MMOW:- Provided 88,904 total meals- Funded 88.7% of all meal costs- Continued funding 100% of program support costs- Dedicated 88% of revenue to program services- Provided meals to all in need regardless of age or �nancial circumstances- Posted a surplus which strengthened reserve fundsMMOW retained the accounting �rm of Wood, Stephens and O’Neil to perform an annual audit.
