2011 Vogel Alcove Arts Performance Event
Come Celebrate the 20th Annual Event!
The 20th annual event on Tuesday,
May 10, will star Lily Tomlin, one
of America’s foremost comediennes.
During a career spanning television,
theater, and motion pictures, Ms. Tomlin
has garnered six Emmys, two Tonys,
a Grammy, two Peabody awards, and
honors from the New York Film Critics, the National Society
of Film Critics, and the Writers Guild of America. Although

Broadway, she went Co-Chairs Patti and Blaine L. Nelson
on to earn critical
acclaim for her one-woman performance in The Search for
Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe. On film, she teamed
with Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton in 9 to 5, played the rich
woman whose soul invades Steve Martin’s body in All of Me,
and sang with Meryl Streep in A Prairie Home Companion.
From 2002-2006, Ms. Tomlin was best known for her role as

Message from the Chair
“Always do right. It will gratify some and
astonish the rest.” -Mark Twain
For 25 years, our staff and volunteers have
continued to build and strengthen Vogel Alcove
by following Mark Twain’s simple yet powerful
maxim. Every professional, employee and volunteer
at Vogel Alcove is deeply focused on our core
values of commitment, empathy, excellence through
continuous improvement, inclusion, integrity, a
nurturing environment, respect and safety.
During the past year, we adopted a new long range plan with a singular
mission: to provide the youngest children of homeless families with the
foundation for success. Our vision is that every child in our community has a
home, a self-sufficient family, and a pathway to success in school. Our fervent
hope is that no child in Dallas should be homeless again.
As I begin my term as chair of the board, I’d like to thank our immediate
past chair, Alan Perkins for his superb leadership during a period of challenges
and transition. I would also like to acknowledge Leanna Cruz, who founded
the Auxiliary, and Karen Foster, who has assumed the position of president
of our Auxiliary. Thanks also to Allan Thompson who helped us launch our
Facebook page, which features articles and videos of our wonderful volunteers,
as well as stories about people who are making extraordinary contributions
to the Alcove.
I’d like to give special recognition to Diane Miles, our interim executive
director, for assuming a leadership role at a particularly challenging time.
On behalf of the entire board, I’d like to thank Diane for her commitment to
our mission.
As your board chair, I promise Vogel Alcove will continue, in the spirit
of Mark Twain, to always do right, gratifying some, astonishing the rest, and
always, always, devoting all our energies to promote the welfare of our precious
kids. Thank you for your commitment to the children of Vogel Alcove.
Recent Grants of Note
A special thank you goes out to the TI Foundation, Maverick Capital
Charities, and the Dirk Nowitzki Foundation that generously granted
funds to help cover the cost of Vogel Alcove’s exemplary early childhood
education and child development program.
At the Alcove, homeless children have the opportunity to thrive in a
safe and nurturing environment that prepares them to enter school and
overcome the trauma of poverty and violence. We salute these major grant
contributors for their commitment to providing the youngest children of
homeless families with the foundation for success!

New Alcove Staff
From August through the beginning of November, Allan
Thompson, a masters degree candidate from the University of
Missouri, worked with Vogel Alcove to research how non-profit
organizations can use social media to build awareness, recognize
volunteers, and increase support for their causes. Allan created
a Facebook page for the Alcove and a blog that will help drive
traffic to this page and to the Alcove’s website.
The Alcove’s goal is to build an online community of
followers. If you are already a member of Facebook, from
the landing page click the “Wall” tab; then click the “Like”
button on the top right. Share the Alcove page with your
existing network, who will be more likely to view the page if
the recommendation comes from you. If you are not a member
of Facebook, you can still view the Alcove page because it’s
public. Please take a moment to visit http://www.facebook.
com/vogelalcove where you can watch short videos and read
about volunteers and others who support the Alcove. It’s a
great way to learn what’s new at Vogel Alcove.
