Fall 2009 - Mission Road Ministries
annual report 09 & Superman Blue Walls Happy Kids When you see the children of Ellison House on an outing at their favorite restaurant, or dressed in matching t-shirts at a Spurs game, or marching along the merry trails that meander through Fiesta Texas, you might mistake them for little United Nations goodwill ambassadors. But listen to the laughter, excited conversation and occasional sibling bickering and you can see that they are a family. A proud branch of the Mission Road Ministries family. serves as liaison with the children’s schools, said, “We had no color higher than green … nothing greater for them to strive for.” Ellison House, she says, “offers a step better than green.” To live at Ellison is the ideal, the pinnacle. Kids attain the ultimate independence within their reach — helping prepare, serve and clean-up after meals; hanging up clothes and cleaning their rooms; communicating their needs; and the golden ring: making choices. Ellison House is one of five homes on the MRDC campus — and it is designated for higher functioning children. It is an honor to live at Ellison where the responsibilities, privileges and opportunities encourage maximum independence … and the choices offer a mighty alluring perk. Penny said, “I’ve never seen greater joy than when we told the kids they could choose their room color, ceiling border and bed cover. They were allowed to design their own environment … huge, exciting, wonderful choices.” The colorful results may stop visitors in their tracks — Superman blue walls, zooming racecar borders and other unusual decorating techniques. But free choices and bold colors equal happy kids. A Color Higher Than Green When Ellison House was founded less than two years ago, it was an experiment of hope. Residents in all homes on campus may earn or lose privileges based on a color level system of green/yellow/red. Penny Simone, who Kids Who Volunteer Once a week, they make an outing to the public library, and on Sundays, the congregation of University United Methodist Church embraces them as family. The kids make frequent field trips to sports events, retail shops, restaurants and other fun-filled places. They even volunteer at Morningstar Ministries — helping feed, water and care for the animals at the sanctuary.

So Saddle Up and join the stampede. We’re aimin’ high for the 702 Mission Road kiddos and adults with developmental disabilities who’re countin’ on a whoppin’ $460,000 in net proceeds to see to their needs right now and yonder. Don’t miss out on the good times. Save the date … and sneak a peek at live auction items at www.shindig.missionroadministries.org. Downright amazin’. All items are available for online absentee bidding prior to the event. Want to know more? Lend a hand? Make a gift? Be an underwriter? Sherry Mosier’s the one to contact: 210-334-2455 or [email protected]. With just a few months to go until completion, the Jesse H. and Susan R. Oppenheimer Center is emerging as a star element on the MRDC campus. You can nearly hear the chatter and laughter that soon will be forthcoming from its classrooms, spacious gym and community meeting area. On schedule and slightly under budget, the entire project, which includes the Oppenheimer Center, the transformation of the old gymnasium into a covered outdoor pavilion and improvements to campus fencing, gates, lighting and paved surfaces is just $190,000 short of its funding goal … a number that has narrowed from our previous report thanks to generous donations and value engineering to maximize every dollar. When completed at the end of December, the Oppenheimer Center and related improvements will invite children in the neighborhood to join our children for after-school and summer programs — services not currently available to children on the south side who have developmental disabilities. It will also expand and consolidate space for the growing adult day services program, which has soared from 30 to 80 clients. We can’t wait! We hope you’ll be able to join us for community activities in this wonderful new addition to our campus … and we thank you for gifts that will help us meet the remaining $190,000 budget shortfall.

Board of Directors Welcomes New Members Mary Baguley Organizational Development Specialist, Tesoro Corporation Betsy Baker Vice President / Marketing Director, Jefferson Bank Nancy Fuller President, Family’s Corporation E. Eugene Garcia President, Hurd Enterprises, Ltd. Laura Johnson Chairman, King & Country Pups & People Thank you! MRM 3 THANK YOU!! Mission Road thanks the AT&T Foundation for their generous grant of $22,369 to install a brand new time and attendance management system for our 340 employees. After a two year process to find and install the best system available for our needs, we are pleased to report the new software and equipment interfaces with Mission Road’s payroll provider and has saved us time and countless resources. From less paperwork, to fewer attendance mistakes, greater efficiency and continuous access, we are pleased with the flexibility and variety in dealing with shift differentials that this new system has provided us! THANK YOU! PAWS-itively Perfect! Heaps of hugging and unabashed happiness fill the house when PAWS pays a visit. Volunteers from PAWS for Service believe in the transformative power of puppy love to exemplify God’s unconditional love … and so they bring their four-legged friends to visit the children and adults at MRM homes and the Unicorn Center. Love is the key. The dogs do not judge. They do not ask why a person is in a wheelchair or cannot speak or may look a little different. They only respond to the love they get in abundance from their friends at Mission Road. And the children and adults delight in the acceptance and affection the dogs bring. Everyone wins. Many thanks to PAWS for spreading joy to our MRM family. with ebrated her birthday t wearing a hat) cel no is , o me wh s Ho p ear ou big Gr the itor to Covenant Rainy (the one with friends.
