Summit Adult Day Services
Celebrates First Centenarian
“He makes me smile.” These four simple words were heard
over and over again when the Summit Adult Day Services
staff members were asked about Gordon Chapin. This quiet,
pleasant gentleman will be celebrating his 100th birthday with
his friends, family, and caregivers on Friday, June 20. “We are
very excited to be here for Gordon’s 100th birthday,” says Kelly
Poluga, Activity Director for Summit Adult Day Services. “He
has been with our program since 2011, and his presence is an
important part of our program.”
Jim Mazzagatti is equally excited to see Gordon turn 100. As
Director of Summit Adult Day Services, Jim has been looking
forward to such a day for a long time. “We’ve been in operation
for almost 40 years and this is our first centenarian,” says
Jim. “The goal of our program is to keep our clients physically
and mentally active and help them remain in their homes and
community. We’ve had a few clients live until age 99, but
Gordon is our first to reach 100.”
Gordon was born on June 21, 1914 in Fort Anne, New York
and one of four boys that grew up on a dairy farm. He attended
a business college in Albany, New York and worked as a proof
reader for a publishing company before entering the Army.
Gordon married his wife, Dorothy, in 1941 and together they
had six children. As a member of the US Army, Gordon served
in World War II from 1943 – 1946 in Brazil and secretly worked
on the Manhattan Project.
Following his time in the Army, Gordon and his family moved
to Washington DC where Gordon served as a technical librarian
for the Naval Department. He retired in 1971. Gordon and
Dorothy enjoyed his retirement until Dorothy passed away in
1982. Eventually, Gordon relocated to Akron to live with his
son Mike and his family. He currently has 15 grand children, 15
great grand children, and one great, great grandchild.
Gordon attends Summit Adult Day Services everyday and can
frequently be found working a crossword puzzle or reading a
book. Many staff members commented that he is quick to offer
a smile or a friendly nod. “I love Gordon,” says Marlesa McWain,
LPN. “I look forward to seeing him every day. He is the first
person I know that is 100 years old, and I’m privileged to help
care for him.”
Gordon Beats The Odds
> According to the US Census Bureau, there were 53,364 centenarians in 2010, making up only 0.0173% of the population.
> Roughly only 1 in 6,000 people reach the age of 100.

the mission of the agency by
providing assistance with program
planning and evaluation, financial

2014 Council Members
From The Director
Dear Friends of Catholic Charities,
2014 is shaping up to be another exciting year for Catholic
Charities in Summit County.
Summit Adult Day Services celebrated its first centenarian.
Over 100 clients, staff, and friends attended the celebration for
Mr. Chapin. Camp Christopher celebrated its 90th anniversary.
Founded in 1924 by the Akron Council 547 of the Knights of
Columbus, Camp Christopher has grown from a few small
cabins on East Bath Road to 165- acres at the current location
in Bath. Today, the camp still remains a popular destination for
thousands of kids in Northeast Ohio.
Our programs continue to expand and grow. Help Me Grow
was reinstated at Catholic Charities and serves over 75 mothers with young children.
Thanks to a grant from the United Way, Emergency Assistance has expanded its outreach
to northern Summit County. Counseling expanded its services to a number of schools.
The success of our programs continues to be a combination of our dedicated staff,
volunteers, and community support. In this newsletter, you’ll find features on some
specials volunteers and supporters of our Monte Carlo, Golf Outing, and Women’s
Board Luncheon and Style Show.
We thank you for your continued support!

was chosen as
a finalist for
Catholic Charities
USA Volunteer
of the Year. This
award honors
the contributions of more than 300,000
volunteers who dedicate their time and
talents to the Catholic Charities network.
Recognizing that non-profits alone
cannot adequately address poverty
in the community, Dominic uses his
sizable network of business contacts
to continually educate leaders in the
community about the needs of the poor
and gain their cooperation in addressing
these needs. Dominic works tirelessly to
bring individuals from the community,
including businesses and government
representatives, into the fold who might
have insights and/or resources that
may assist in the fight against poverty.
Dominic is able to see that bringing the
right people together can lead to effective
have expanded in recent years to include
more long-range services including
enrollment in the Ohio Benefits Bank
(through which they may qualify for a
variety of extended services), financial
literacy courses, and access to the GED
program. Dominic’s work leads to real
solutions to poverty.
Dominic is not only active with Catholic
Charities, but is also a parishioner at
St. Francis De Sales Church in Akron.
Dominic is a long time resident of Akron
and has lived his faith throughout his life.
As a young person, Dominic attended
parochial schools where he learned his
faith. As the Vice President and General
Sales Manager of the Rubber City Radio
Group, Dominic has a reputation as a
successful, honest and civic minded
businessman. Dominic brings his Catholic
faith to all aspects of his life, regularly
placing the interests of others ahead of
his own.
Program News
Leadership Camp Triples in Attendance
Leadership Campers spend time with
clients at Summit Adult Day Services.
Four years ago, Camp
Christopher launched
a new program called
Leadership Camp.
Specifically designed for
17 year olds, Leadership
Camp is a two-week
residential learning
experience that teaches
leadership concepts and
service learning. This
past summer, Camp
Christopher welcomed
42 Leadership Campers,
up from only 14 in 2011.
Leadership Campers spend their time learning about
leadership styles through guest speakers, role playing,
challenge courses, and shadowing camp department heads
and experienced counselors. Later in the session, leadership
is tested by assisting counselors with various activities,
motivating younger campers to try new things, and assisting
with problem solving. They also engage in service projects and
have the opportunity to become certified in Lifesaving, First
Aid, or CPR.
“This is a great program for Camp Christopher,” says Amanda
Schuster, Camp Director. “Our Leadership Campers benefit
from the program, and camp benefits from their presence and
new leadership skills.”
Emergency Assistance Expands to Twinsburg
Thanks to dollars provided by United Way of Summit County,
Catholic Charities of Summit County has expanded their
Emergency Assistance Services to the Twinsburg area.
Goodwill Industries has provided Catholic Charities the office
space they need to run the program. This close proximity to
other social service entities will greatly benefit our neighbors
in need. St. Cosmas and Damian Parish has agreed to facilitate
referrals should families present a need at their door. We are
blessed to be able to meet the economic challenges faced by
our families in this difficult time. United Way Salutes Catholic Charities Volunteers
Two volunteers, Gary Kaufman and Sally Ricchiuto, from
Catholic Charities Community Services of Summit County were
recently honored at the 13th Annual United Way Volunteer
Celebration.
Gary volunteers every Tuesday and Wednesday for the
Hot Meals Program at Blessed Trinity and Visitation of Mary
Parishes. Pat Kennedy, Hot Meals Coordinator, hails Gary
as one of our most consistent volunteers. His outgoing
personality makes him a natural and provides joy to all those he
encounters.
Sally volunteers with the Blessed Trinity/Catholic Charities
Food Pantry and has helped with a variety of roles. She started
by packing food bags in the evenings and distributing the food
in the mornings. When the pantry became short staffed, Sally
volunteered to work mornings and afternoons to retrieve phone
messages and schedule appointments. Debbie Gisewhite,
Catholic Charities Basic Needs Coordinator, praises Sally as a
lifesaver to the pantry and those who run short of food during
the month.

Help Me Grow Returns
Help Me Grow has returned as a program of Catholic Charities
of Summit County. This program provides services that
promote growth and development, and support for families
during the important early years of a child’s life. Help Me Grow
programs are voluntary and available to expectant mothers and
to families with children from birth to three years of age under
200% of poverty level.
Catholic Charities currently employs three home visitors and
a supervisor. From June through December 2013, the staff
provided support to 82 families and completed 438 home visits
to this population. The staff offices are located at the rectory of
St. Mary’s school in Akron. Catholic Charities appreciates
Fr. Dan and the school Board for supporting our efforts.

Monte Carlo
The 8th Annual Monte Carlo Night, held on Saturday, March 15, 2014 at St. George’s
Fellowship Centre, raised a record breaking $62,000 for our Basic Needs programs. 550
guests enjoyed an evening of Vegas style casino games, live entertainment by The Fret
Daddies and bagpiper Ray Givens, delicious food and drink, silent and live auctions, and
fun raffles. The event would not have been possible without our wonderful volunteer
committee led by event chairperson Maria Didado Jacobozzi, event vice-chair Dominic
Rizzo, and auction chair Carlotta Dickson.
Thank you to all of the sponsors, donors, attendees, and volunteers who contributed
to the success of this event. The best part is that one hundred percent of the proceeds
stay in Summit County and support Catholic Charities’ basic needs programs which
provide food, hot meals, and direct financial assistance with utilities and rent/mortgage
to assist our neighbors in need.

Catholic Charities of Summit County
Chosen by Akron Marathon as
Blue Line Charity
We are proud to announce that Catholic Charities of Summit County is a Blue Line Charity
Partner for the 2014 Akron Marathon. As one of ten local charities chosen, Catholic Charities of
Summit County will receive assistance with raising awareness and fundraising in conjunction
with the marathon.
The agency goal is to reach the “Record Setters” level which involves 50 runners, 25
volunteers, and $5,000 in donations. If we reach our goal, the Akron Marathon will donate an
additional $1,250 to our cause.
All proceeds from this event will go to help fund camperships to Camp Christopher. Each year,
Camp Christopher welcomes thousands of campers through its front gates, each with his or her
own story, hopes, and dreams. But did you know that a week at Camp Christopher would not
be possible for many children without the help of the Camp Christopher Campership Fund? The
recent economy continues to drive up the number of applications for camperships. The need for
campership funds has never been greater.
Visit www. http://ccdocle.org/events/akron-marathon and make a donation today. Runners
and volunteers are also welcome!
