The Young & Restless Wine-tasting on May 1st was hailed a success again this year. Even in record-breakingtemperatures, Audrey Burnier’s Third Avenue home and shaded garden provided a comfortable retreat for the occasion,which included the presentation of the third Loving Heart Award to Charles Ayars for his outstanding support. Chuckhas been a mainstay of St. Paul’s from its inception more than 40 years ago. He was involved in arranging the originalArticles of Incorporation and HUD loan for St. Paul’s Manor in 1960, signed papers incorporating the Villa in 2004, andwas one of the first people to pledge his financial support for the present Capital Campaign – Generosity for Generations –A Place for PACE. The special award was presented by Bill McLaurin, Chair of the Foundation. The second highlight ofthe evening was the bidding which reached an amazing price of $450.00 on a bottle of 1990 Chateau MargauxBordeaux during skillful auctioneering by Jack Anthony. The Wish-list of the Intergenerational Program was wellreceived by guests of the wine-tasting, and Linda Hopkins, Supervisor of Senior Day Care, was heard to remark: “This isjust like Christmas! Our Seniors and children will just love the items being sponsored today!”

Having recently returned from two trips it isamazing how different cultures care for their Seniorpopulations. In Russia, life is bleak for the elderly;many of them live in communal apartments andreceive on average $40.00 per month with healthservices being provided in their apartments by anunderstaffed visiting nurse program.

On the other hand, my trip to Washington D.C.showed me how not-for-profit organizations whichserve Seniors are doing remarkable work on verysmall budgets. They are focused on meeting thespecial needs of special Seniors, i.e. Parkinson’s patients, young Seniorswith learning and physical disabilities since birth, home andcommunity based programs that reach out and serve those who wish toremain in their homes. There are Seniors in retirement facilitiesproviding thousands of volunteer hours in their facilities, communityschools, dependent populations, at-risk youth, and educational trainingfor medical school students, to name a few.

Facilities are partnering with other organizations to develop somespecial programs, and St. Paul’s Senior Homes & Services is no different.We currently partner with San Diego Hospice, ElderHelp of San Diego,Meals on Wheels, Aging and Independence Services of the county,UCSD, SDSU, USD, and Alliant University. Many nursing programscurrently rotate through our medical unit, and other students use ourfacilities as their “living classroom.”

Only through collaboration, innovation and re-inventing who we areand whom we serve, will we be able to meet the needs and expectationsof future Seniors. St. Paul’s Board and staff are currently engrossed inplanning that future. We hope you will join us.

Jose (Joe) Gomezhas been a resident at St. Paul’s Villa since earlyFebruary as part of St. Paul’s participation inthe San Diego Outreach Program. Joe has beena gardener for the last 30 years. While workingon a ranch in Bonita during the last 2-3 years,he began to lose his sight. Although an Americancitizen, Joe had lost most of his paper work anddocumentation and at 70 years old was unable tosupport himself or find housing and medical care.The owners of the ranch let him live in a barnand then contacted the San Diego Homelesscollaborative, which offers support services forseniors who need assisted living through St. Paul’sVilla. Through the Rotary contacts of CherylWilson, St. Paul’s C.E.O., Joe was able to receivefree eye care surgery to regain his sight.

THE TREE OF LIFE“Like a shepherd he tends his flock and

gathers the lambs in his arms. Holding themcarefully close to his heart, leading themhome” (Isaiah 40:11). For almost 20 years theresidents and visitors to the McColl FamilyHealth Center have been greeted by theoriginal bronze carving by artist, SanfordWerfel, depicting that passage from the Bookof Isaiah. It is a magnificent sculpture of amighty oak sheltering a shepherd as he tendshis lambs. The Tree’s branches and leaves offerprotection and a peaceful resting place,symbolizing the strength and assurance offeredto the families of our community by theCenter.

The Tree was given in loving memory of EllenMcDade by her son, Dr. William McDade andhis family.
