riendship Haven is a family where people
live full lives with faith, passion and
purpose. Offering affordable, diverse
living opportunities for aging adults, Friendship
Haven provides services and programming that
meet the needs of many people with varied
resources on our campus and in surrounding
communities. In addition, Friendship Haven
provides charitable care for seniors living
throughout all areas of its campus, bridging
the gap for those who have exhausted their
financial resources. Offering such assistance is
not only the right thing to do, but it is reflective
of the history and mission of Friendship Haven.
F
Providing a high level of services, programming,
and living opportunities has been made
possible for three reasons: the generosity of
donors; strong, sound operations; and, listening
to what seniors want and then responding
accordingly. We will continue to be responsive,
innovative and responsible in the future. By
being flexible, we will continue to fulfill our
mission to reflect the changing times, needs
and desires as our population changes.
We will continue to build relationships, develop
partnerships and create an atmosphere of
family, whether you live here, receive services
here, work here, or support our efforts. We are
a place where people live. Our work is personal,
and we strive to be the best we can for as many
people as possible, each and every day.

resources the Great Promoter had put into me, we went at it. We had no

Dear Friends,
I
t is with great sincerity that I share reflections
of 2012 with you today. So much has been done
to fulfill the dream of Friendship Haven and
yet there is still work to be completed in 2013. Our
partners know and understand the importance of
the Friendship Haven mission. However, there are so
many who still don’t understand who we are and what
we do.
This year I wanted to emphasize how we look to
our past to see our future. We value and respect the
foundation upon which Friendship Haven was built.
The commitment to innovation is as powerful today as it was
in the late 1940s when Friendship Haven was still a dream.
We have leaders around us, including our Board of Directors,
who aren’t afraid to take risks, be responsive and step beyond
the normal. We are creating a community unlike any other.
This all takes time, commitment and passion; traits that those
of us who believe in Friendship Haven aspire to every day.
Here we are in the middle of our capital campaign and I am
reminded of Clarence Tompkins’ philosophy of fundraising.
He said he never asked for money. He shared dreams. We
continue to do that today.
More than sixty years ago, meetings on the Friendship Haven
campus started with a prayer. We continue that tradition
today; prayer, faith and thanks is what Friendship Haven was
built on. As we continue to replace the original buildings
of Friendship Haven our foundation remains the same. We
respect the past, cherish the present, and embrace the future.
Thank You for your continued support and belief in
Friendship Haven.

or more than 30 years, Friendship Haven has been woven into the fabric of Chuck and Joan Mickelson’s life.
The Burnside couple treasures these connections and appreciates the opportunity to invest in Friendship
Haven’s future through the Care Trust Fund.
“Friendship Haven is such a wonderful community,
and Friendship Haven needs people to come along
side them and support them,” says Joan, who became
acquainted with Friendship Haven in the 1980s
when Joan’s grandmother, Gladys Mickelson, lived at
Tompkins Health Center.
“There’s a need for the caring community that
Friendship Haven provides, and we’re glad to do
our part.”
In later years, Chuck’s mother, Hazel, moved to
campus, as did his aunt, Viola Overland. Today, Joan’s mother, Marie Jordison, lives in Kenyon Place Apartments,
while Chuck’s aunt, Genevieve Dosland, loves her new home at River Ridge Apartments.
“Friendship Haven not only offers services ranging from independent living to healthcare, but it also meets
people’s other needs, like transportation to doctor’s appointments, shopping trips and more,” says Chuck, who
drove the Friendship Haven van for several years after retiring from his full-time job as an auditor for the State of
Iowa. “All this care is very reassuring to our family.”
Catalyst Rehabilitation at Friendship Haven is another benefit that extends not only
to people who live on campus, but those who live off campus, as well, adds Chuck,
who relied on Catalyst after he had both hips and a knee replaced in recent years.
Friendship Haven’s professional, caring, compassionate staff members reflect the
kindness embodied by Friendship Haven’s founder, Dr. Clarence Tompkins. “He
was a friend to everyone,” says Joan, who stays busy with her home-based Rags to
Rugs custom rug business. “Even as Friendship Haven has grown through the years,
this spirit lives on.”
It shines in the chartable care provided by Friendship Haven through the Care
Trust Fund, which allows people to stay at Friendship Haven even if they exhaust
their resources. It also abounds in the campus revitalization that will allow
Friendship Haven to serve generations to come, says Joan, who is excited about
these opportunities.

patient is difficult,” says Julie, whose mother passed away in
October of 2012. “I’m so grateful that Mom was able to stay at
Friendship Haven, where the staff members are so patient and
understanding.”
Friendship Haven’s exceptional service has inspired the Clausens
to contribute to the Care Trust Fund and consider including
Friendship Haven in their will, Julie adds. “We feel good about
the important role that Friendship Haven has played in our lives,
and we want to give something back to help other families.”
L
eona Fleming has never shied away from hard
work during her life. In addition to raising eight
children, she worked at a bakery, the Safeway
grocery store, and Daniel Pharmacy in Fort Dodge.
She also provided childcare at the First Congregational
Church, working part-time well into her 80s.
The care, companionship, and encouragement that Friendship
Haven provides are a blessing on so many levels, says Leona’s
daughter Kerry Weber, who lives in Enid, Oklahoma.
Always frugal and careful with her finances, Leona saved
enough money to move to Friendship Haven in the fall
of 2010. She has thrived at The Gardens Assisted Living,
where she has made many new
friends.
When her funds ran low after two
years, however, Leona panicked.
“Mom kept asking, ‘What happens
if I run out of money?” says Joe
Fleming, her oldest son. “I told her,
‘Mom, you don’t need to worry
about. There’s a plan in place.’”
Friendship Haven’s Care Trust Fund
has been invaluable, adds Joe, who
owns Reader-Fleming Automotive
in Fort Dodge. “It would have been
extremely hard on Mom to move, especially after
the stability that Friendship Haven has brought to
her life.”
Before Leona moved to campus, she lived alone
and struggled with daily living tasks like eating
properly and medication management. Within
a short time of moving to Friendship Haven,
she made tremendous progress, Joe says. “I’m
convinced Mom wouldn’t be with us today if she
hadn’t moved to Friendship Haven.”
14
The fact that Friendship Haven has never asked anyone to leave
because they exhaust their resources is remarkable, Joe says. “If
Mom had to move from Friendship Haven, she’d be devastated.
She’s comfortable here, and the Care Trust Fund has allowed
her to maintain her dignity.”
Leona, who has lived in Fort Dodge
for more than 50 years, can’t image
life without Friendship Haven. “This
is home, and I really like it here.”
That’s comforting to Leona’s family.
“We are so fortunate to have a
place like Friendship Haven in
our community,” Joe says. “It’s a
Godsend.”
“We’re happy that Mom is doing so well at Friendship
Haven. It also offers us peace of mind, especially since
our family is scattered around the country, from New York
to Nebraska, and we can’t always be with Mom.”

t’s the little things in life that mean the most to Evelyn Burleson, whose
perspective has been shaped by 100 years of experience.
“I’m very happy here at Friendship Haven,” says Evelyn, who enjoys
her apartment at The Gardens Assisted Living. “The staff are so pleasant,
and they greet me by name every morning and wish me good night every
evening. This means a lot.”
Friendship Haven’s Care Trust Fund also means a lot to Evelyn, who learned
the value of hard work during her youth on a North Dakota farm.
This peace of mind is priceless to Evelyn, a long-time Fort Dodge resident
who moved to campus 13 years ago. The family photographs in Evelyn’s
apartment reflect the unique journey that brought her to Friendship Haven.
After graduating from Maddock High School at age 16 in 1929, Evelyn left
North Dakota to find a job and reconnect with one of her sisters, whose
husband was from Iowa. Evelyn found work in Iowa City as a waitress,
where she often served University of Iowa pharmacy students.
She caught the eye of Harold Burleson, an ambitious student from Fort
Dodge who began writing her letters and later proposed marriage. In the
mid 1930s, the newlyweds moved to Fort Dodge, where Harold worked at Olsen Drug and later in the pharmacy
at Friendship Haven. As they watched their two children grow up, the Burlesons also watched Friendship Haven
grow with the guidance of its founder, Dr. Clarence Tompkins.
“Dr. Tompkins was a very kind man, and he came to visit me the day Harold died in 1970,” said Evelyn, who
values being part of Friendship Haven’s close-knit community as much as she appreciated growing up in a closeknit Norwegian family.
Today, Evelyn is proud to call Friendship Haven home. She stays active by walking to the nearby River Ridge
Apartments each morning and afternoon. She celebrated her 100th birthday in December of 2012 on campus,
surrounded by family and friends.
The Care Trust Fund offers me great peace of mind, and my She’s also pleased that her son, Lon,

N
oted boxing legend Muhammed Ali
said, “Service to others is the rent you
pay for your room here on earth.” It’s a
philosophy that Earl and Edie Pickens take to
heart.
“We want to reach out to others, because we
know service is the most important thing,” said
Edie, who contributes to the Good Samaritan
Fund, which helps underwrite a portion of
the cost of charitable and benevolent care at
Friendship Haven.
“Friendship Haven does a tremendous job of bringing people
together and meeting their needs,” says Earl, a retired Hy-Vee
executive who moved with Edie to a town home on campus in
January of 2012. “We’re glad to be part of this community.”
While the Pickens previously lived in Las Vegas, Friendship Haven’s
many amenities, including its beautiful Wellness Center, prompted
them to move back to Iowa. “It didn’t take us long to decide this is
where we want to be,” says Edie, a former Peace Corps member who
loves Friendship Haven’s beautifully landscaped campus, majestic
trees, and spacious vistas.
“There were many generous people ahead of us who
supported Friendship Haven along the way, and we’re
glad we can do our part,” Edie says.
The Pickens, who donate to many local organizations,
from the Beacon of Hope men’s shelter in Fort Dodge
to local food pantries, are pleased their contributions
can help others enjoy Friendship Haven’s exceptional
quality of life.
Edie credits her parents with instilling these
values while she was growing up in Denver,
Colorado “My mom and dad were generous
and taught me to help other people. My mother
was a Girl Scout leader, and she had us fill
baskets full of food that we delivered to people
in need at Thanksgiving.”
When Earl and Edie attended their first
Legends Tailgate event at Friendship Haven in
August of 2012, they were impressed that all
proceeds from the celebration benefit the Good
Samaritan Fund. Thanks to donors’ generous
support of this fund and other charitable care
funds, Friendship Haven has never asked
anyone to leave because they can’t afford to pay
the full cost of living on campus.
