Our 100th Birthday . . . It’s about history
The Auxiliary wasted no time in beginning
its celebrations for our 100th birthday. On
January 9th, about 75 members, including
eight past Auxiliary Presidents, gathered in
the Kaczmarek Community Room to mark
an extraordinary milestone – a century of
service to the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago.
Our Auxiliary President reminded us that what
is truly remarkable is the fact that our mission
and message remain unchanged today. Just as
the Clinic has adhered to its goal of providing a
foundation for a healthy and productive life for
its patients, so the Auxiliary has remained true
to its purpose of supporting the Clinic’s work.
In her comments, Auxiliary President
Lynette Paulsen noted that there are numerous
organizations in the Chicago area that have been
in existence for a century. And there are also many
in our city that successfully raise funds for excellent
causes. What makes the Auxiliary unique is that it is
probably the only volunteer organization partnering
with a not-for-profit entity that has continuously
supported it with fundraising for 100 years.
A perfect party
The way we were
Our historians, Charlotte Shestokas and
Minnie Sandstedt, made a terrific poster highlighting Auxiliary facts, and Chapter scrapbooks
were on display. In addition, Executive Director
Dr. John Wilhelm had a thank-you banner
created for our 100th birthday as a way to show
appreciation for our service and partnership. It
features a collection of photos of the people, places
and events that have shaped our impressive history.
The banner will be proudly displayed in the Clinic
lobby for the entire year.
It’s difficult to imagine how life was in 1913
when a group of dedicated women decided to
support the Infant Welfare Society – a charity that
was providing a safe source of milk for our city’s
infants. When the Auxiliary began its journey that
year, the world was a far different place. Woodrow
Wilson was the U. S. President, the Ford Motor
Company introduced the first moving assembly line,
the Federal Reserve System was created and women
suffragettes marched in Washington, D. C. for equal
rights under the law. Not surprisingly, virtually
everything has changed since those dynamic,
forward-thinking women came together 100 years
ago to serve the Infant Welfare Society.

Our 100th Birthday Party was a great success,
and Lynette thanked Carolyn Bowman who
coordinated the event. As many of our members
know, she has been the Auxiliary’s undisputed
“party planner extraordinaire” for many years.
Pat Danly also did a wonderful job displaying
historical Auxiliary photos on the bulletin
board in the Community Room.
Kate Boege, Sue Lopatka and Antje Kalov
are members of the Ambassadors at Large Chapter.
Lynette also acknowledged her Executive Board,
and she thanked them for providing the great food
our guests enjoyed at the party. Of course, no
birthday celebration is complete without a cake,
and ours was generously donated by the Clinic.
It featured the 100th birthday celebration logo
and reflected the artwork on the party invitations.
The Auxiliary is thrilled so many members were
able to join us on a bright, unusually warm day in
January to reflect on where we’ve been, how far
we’ve come and where we’re going. Everyone
should take enormous pride in being a part of this
phenomenal group of women who have given so
generously of their time, treasure and talent on
behalf of the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago.

Our 100th Birthday . . . It’s about time
Executive Director Dr. John Wilhelm,
Auxiliary President Lynette Paulsen
and IWS Board President Lynda Given
Pat Danly did a great job displaying historical photos on
the bulletin board in the Kaczmarek Community Room.
Like so many multitaskers today, Lynda Given
knows a thing or two about time management.
Let’s face it, women today have a lot on their
plates. In Lynda’s case, she’s a partner in a large
law firm in Chicago, a mom and a volunteer
who has made her work on behalf of the Infant
Welfare Society of Chicago a priority in her busy
life. Lynda is the President of the IWS Board of
Directors and an active member of the Auxiliary’s
Wheaton Chapter.
Lynda appreciates the time fundraising entails
from personal experience. After all, she’s been
an active member of the Wheaton Chapter for
years and has worked on the group’s annual
golf outings and luminaria sales. She cited
the hundreds of texts, e-mails, phone calls
and meetings that go into creating a successful
benefit. Our Board President says how impressed
she is with the time and effort our members
dedicate to their fundraising.
So perhaps it’s not surprising that Lynda chose
to concentrate her attention on the subject
of time when she addressed our members at
the 100th Birthday Party. Lynda said that
perhaps the most precious contribution our
members have made to the Clinic during the
last century is not money – but time. That’s
something, she said, that can’t be taken back.
Once given, it’s gone, and it’s undoubtedly
one of the most valuable assets we possess.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the challenging
economy had made raising money harder than
ever. Lynda added that it’s more time consuming
as well. Consequently, our members are devoting
more hours to their volunteer work with excellent
results. In fact, all Chapter events in 2012 either
met or exceeded their pledges.
Lynda added that in this increasingly hectic
world in which we live, time seems to have
become scarce. She thanked our members for
being so generous with this valuable commodity.
Lynda noted that it would be fascinating to
calculate the number of hours Auxiliary members
have donated over the last 100 years. Certainly,
the figure would be huge and reflect the depth
of our members’ commitment to the Clinic.
In closing, Lynda congratulated the Auxiliary
on its 100 years of service and support, and she
thanked our members for taking time to make
a difference in the lives of our patients.

It’s about friendship . . .
As Dr. John Wilhelm marks his eighth year as
the Clinic’s Executive Director, it’s fair to say he
has learned a great deal about the Auxiliary. And
there’s no doubt he appreciates our efforts. He also
has a unique perspective on how we raise money
because he’s had a firsthand look at so many of our
benefits during his time here.
As his tenure as Executive Director draws to a close,
Dr. Wilhelm has made attending Chapter events
a high priority. And it’s safe to say he is impressed
with the quality, diversity and success of our
fundraising. From book reviews to galas, Tablescapes
to Showhouses, he has seen how hard our members
work to create unique, memorable events for our
guests – positive experiences that keep them coming
back from year to year.
During his comments at the 100th Birthday
Party, Dr. Wilhelm said he is also struck by the
friendships that have formed among Auxiliary
members, and he regards this as one of the most
positive and uplifting aspects of our philanthropic
work. With that thought in mind, Dr. Wilhelm
recounted a conversation he had with incoming
IWS Board President Lynda Given when she
assumed her new responsibilities. She confessed
to him she had some concerns about undertaking
this admittedly time-consuming job given her
commitment to her family, her full-time career
and her volunteer work in the Wheaton Chapter.
Dr. Wilhelm suggested that she consider curtailing
her Chapter activities to allow for the new workload
she was taking on as Board President. He said
Lynda was quick to say that simply wasn’t an option
because in her words, “I need my girlfriends.”
The girlfriends, of course, are her fellow Chapter
members. It was obvious to Dr. Wilhelm that
Lynda’s volunteer work with the Chapter was
a priority, and she wasn’t about to limit her
involvement and perhaps lose touch with people
who were important to her.
As Dr. Wilhelm concluded his remarks, he
glanced at Oak Brook Chapter member and
Historian Minnie Sandstedt. He noted how
she and other longtime members like fellow
Historian Charlotte Shestokas came to be
friends through their work on Lollipops &
Roses, the legendary Auxiliary fundraiser.
Certainly, our 100th birthday is remarkable,
but so too are the friendships that were formed
over the course of the century. Those shared
experiences and fond memories have made
us the women we are today – strong, vital,
committed to our cause and firm in the belief
that fundraising and friendraising go hand in hand.

EMR goes live at IWS . . .
Team work . . . whether it’s on a playing field or in
the workplace, it is important to successful outcomes.
And according to Debbie Reister, IWS’ Director of
Health Information, it’s one of the main reasons the
Clinic’s Electronic Medical Records implementation
has gone smoothly.
The EMR team at IWS - Bottom row:
Milagros Fernandez, Denise Gonzalez,
Dr. Sheila Hall and Debbie Reister;
Top row: Vince Hilado, Vahan Koloyan,
Dr. Daniel Vittum and Jose Galarza
She should know. With an impressive background
in Health Information Management, Debbie was
associated with Project HOPE from 1976 – 2007
and had many international postings including Egypt,
Grenada, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Asia. In fact,
she met Executive Director Dr. John Wilhelm during
her time in Grenada – a contact that eventually led
her to the Infant Welfare Society in 2007 when she
accepted her current position.
Debbie says that when she joined the staff, IWS
was already on board and well ahead of the curve
in terms of electronic medical record keeping.
Our program originally came about as a result
of a 2004 federal mandate by the Bush aministration.
The goal was to network the country’s healthcare
system to ensure reliable and prompt interfaces
among providers. That same year, planning for
the Practice Management component of EMR
(financials, registration and patient management)
went forward at IWS.
In 2008, the Clinic began working on a strategic plan
for full EMR implementation. It was a multi-year
project that involved representatives from all pertinent
areas including Information Technology, Medical
Records, Dental and Medical. Meeting on a monthly
basis, the group considered how to customize and
introduce EMR in an efficient and effective manner.
The current team comprises: Milagros Fernandez,
Jose Galarza, Denise Gonzalez, Dental Director
Dr. Sheila Hall, Vince Hilado, Vahan Koloyan,
Debbie Reister, Valentine Sobirov and Medical
Director Dr. Daniel Vittum.
In this and so many other regards, IWS was
fortunate to have Dr. Vittum’s experience and
expertise. Having been associated with the City of
Chicago’s Public Health Department, our Medical
Director had been closely involved with EMR on
a far larger scale, overseeing it at seven community
health centers, 11 mental health centers and a
number of other sites. He says, “I think the most
important thing we did at IWS was to structure
the program to our specific needs and patient
population. Obviously, when I was with the City’s
Health Department, we were dealing with far more
patients in many different settings. That was a very
large, comprehensive, complicated program. But
as a relatively small community health clinic, we
didn’t require all those ‘bells and whistles’ at IWS.”
The Clinic’s expectations were more reasonable
and therefore attainable. IWS wanted a simple,
straightforward approach to electronic medical
records - one that met the basic needs of all its
patient care areas.
But that’s not to say that it was simple to arrive at
that “simple” concept. It wasn’t. Team members
visited other health clinics in the city to study their
EMR programs. They examined what worked
and what didn’t work. During their meetings,
department representatives brainstormed to create
the best program for IWS. There were many options
available to the Clinic in terms of software, and after
evaluating them, the team suggested GE’s Centricity.
The IWS Board of Directors approved the team’s
recommendation in May of 2011.
Then a training schedule for providers was
established to familiarize them with the program.
-4-
11/14/2013 10:39:17 AM
Simultaneously, the team began to discuss how
our medical forms should look, relying heavily
upon Dr. Vittum and our Information Technology
specialists. Since some Centricity forms were not
well suited to our purposes, the Clinic developed
its own.
Debbie says she is pleased with the results, as
are the providers. “The forms are perfect for our
needs, and fortunately we had the right people
to create them.” She credits our Information
Technology team, and she adds their technical
acumen, coupled with specialized Centricity
training, resulted in a successful outcome.
In preparation for “going live” with EMR in
October, our providers received some limited
classroom instruction. But the real education took
place on the job. Dr. Vittum believes this “boots
on the ground” approach is beneficial when dealing
with adult learners. He says, “Kids do well in a
classroom setting. However, I think adults benefit
from doing the job themselves with someone
knowledgeable by their side.” That approach has
proven to be effective.
Providers’ schedules were adjusted to reflect
the fact that it would take more time for them
to input patient data on the computer. On
October 30th, providers began entering patient
histories and physical exam notes electronically.
In order to address problems and questions that
arose, they were assisted by a “super user group”
– individuals with EMR expertise like Denise
Gonzalez, IWS’ Director of Operations, who
was also involved with the City’s EMR transition.
The group continues to provide essential support
and expertise, helping front line staff to be
comfortable with the new software. Remarkably,
it took only one month for providers’ schedules
to return to 100% capacity.
The EMR team continues to troubleshoot and
refine the system. They’ve set up a registry that
creates a database of questions and concerns from
providers that the group evaluates during its weekly
meetings. In addition, they are surveying the staff
regularly to help them assess the program. Problems
are addressed in a timely fashion. It’s described
as a “change control” approach – changes are
made, but in a controlled fashion. From all reports,
it’s working well.
The Information Technology team:
Vahan Koloyan, Valentine Sobirov
and Vince Hilado
In April, Family Services and Dental will go live.
Looking further down the road, the Clinic is
considering the next step in EMR, the patient
portal. This is a healthcare-related online application
that enables patients to interact and communicate
with their healthcare providers. When implemented,
our patients will be able to check lab results, get
a prescription or access their medical records with
strong security measures in place to ensure patient
privacy. It’s anticipated this application will be
available to our patients in June.
The Clinic’s successful EMR implementation
can be credited to IWS’ core strengths: a dedicated
and capable staff, a talented Information Technology
team and excellent administrative leadership
and oversight. With the advent of electronic
medical records, IWS continues to build upon
its long-standing reputation for innovation and
advancement. We congratulate the entire team
on a job well done!

Our celebratory year has gotten off to a sensational start with the 100th Birthday Party at
the Clinic on January 9th. Now, it’s on to more great events to commemorate the Auxiliary’s
100 years of service and support to the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago!
An outing to the Lake Forest Showhouse & Gardens
Our members are invited to attend a special Showhouse event on May 1st at 10:00 am featuring
a presentation by Monica Pedersen. The event will be open to the public but members will get
special pricing, and there will be opportunities for past and current members to mingle and reunite.
Members will receive ticket information via e-mail. Tickets will be available to the public via the
Showhouse website: www.lakeforestshowhouse.com Monica Pedersen is a highly regarded interior
designer, lifestyle expert and television host. During her talk, she will discuss past showhouses and
focus her attention on design and decorating for specific rooms and styles. At the end of her talk,
she’ll take questions and comments from guests. Refreshments and a tour of the house will also
be included.
This year’s Showhouse is an exquisite David Adler mansion. This legendary early 20th century
architect was responsible for many grand estates, but perhaps none was so well executed as this
Italianate mansion on the shores of Lake Michigan. Built in 1916, this six bedroom, 15,000 square
foot villa enjoys an intricately paved courtyard entry, spacious entertaining rooms, stately ivy and
magnificent gardens originally designed by Ralph Rodney Root.
We hope that many Auxiliary members will take advantage of this opportunity to hear
Monica Pedersen, tour the Showhouse and spend time with Auxiliary friends. F
A cruise aboard the Odyssey
Our premier Auxiliary-wide celebration event will be a cruise on the elegant Odyssey at
Navy Pier. Join us as we “Set Sail to Celebrate a Century of Service” on Saturday, October 5th
from 6:30 – 10:30 pm. As we enjoy our moonlit cruise, deluxe food stations will offer carved
meats, salads and a fabulous array of other delicious items. A cash bar will be available.
A DJ will play our favorite songs as we admire Chicago’s magnificent skyline. The cruise is
priced between $100 - $150 per ticket for Auxiliary members. We hope to see you on board!

President’s Letter
Dear Friends,
Happy New Year!
What an exciting year 2013 is for the Auxiliary! Volunteer organizations formed by women to support
women and children are plentiful. Every day we read about wonderful events organized by committed groups,
generally comprised primarily of women, who raise monies for worthy organizations. Some benefit the arts or
focus attention on a dreaded disease or affliction, others concern themselves with the environment, and many
concentrate on children’s health. Scores of the charities that many of us support exist to improve the health,
education or happiness of women and children. The needs of this population are real and palpable. Women
understand the challenges that other women face, and we feel the power of the desire to keep all children
healthy.
What is uncommon is a volunteer organization that stays committed to its mission for 100 years!
Congratulations to each and every reader who has shared the legacy of membership in our fabulous
Auxiliary of the Infant Welfare Society! When we began, women didn’t even have the right to vote.
Now there is nothing that we aren’t able to do.
This year we celebrate our 100th birthday. The 100th Birthday Celebration Party at the Clinic in January
was a huge success. For all who attended, I hope you are motivated as I am to make this year a special one
in your IWS volunteer life. As you have read elsewhere in fyi, there are two other events planned this year to
commemorate our 100th year. I hope I will see you at one or both of them.
Our holiday events sponsored by the Barrington, North Shore and Oak Brook Chapters were terrifically
successful, and once again our luminaria lighted homes and sidewalks in many communities in the greater
Chicago area. Please join me in congratulating the members of those Chapters for their efforts and their
success. Our annual See Santa Party and Holiday Special Gifts programs brought tremendous joy to Clinic
families most in need, and our members shared their amazingly generous gifts.
This year, our Chapter events continue to amaze and inspire me! I recently attended Clarendon Hills’
Have a Heart for Infant Welfare benefit at the Union League Club on February 9th. It was fantastic,
and I congratulate the Chapter on a wonderful event. And I look forward to attending one of my personal
favorites, Tablescapes, on March 3rd. I can’t wait to see what marvelous tricks they will have up their
sleeves as they dazzle us with Project Color. We have lots more planned in 2013, so please join us at one
of our upcoming events.
Fondly,
Lynette Paulsen

Chapter Reports
OAK BROOK
Sue Yochim and Elissa Piano-Flaska chaired
our Martini Medley Preview Party.
On November 26th and 27th, the “halls” at Drury
Lane in Oakbrook Terrace were indeed decked with
boughs of holly, holiday lights, glittering trees and of
course, a bit of mistletoe – the last one very fitting
considering the fact the Oak Brook Chapter was
hosting its holiday favorites, Martini Medley and
Mistletoe Medley. In all, over 1,100 guests attended.
Our Chapter is thrilled to report that we raised
$112,000 at this year’s events!
We extend thanks to Joyce Cox-Cunningham, our
Chapter President and Mistletoe Medley Chairman,
for her outstanding leadership. We appreciate her
enthusiasm, support and guidance.
Roseann Maffei, Deborah Naguib, Toni Hudecek,
Nelly Naguib and Debbie Heidecke
enjoyed this year’s festivities.
As we’ve come to expect, Martini Medley proved
to be the perfect start to our two-day event. There
was much to tempt our 400 guests that evening
including live entertainment, complimentary
martinis courtesy of SavWay Fine Wines and Spirits
and delicious hors d’oeuvres. The Preview Party
Raffle had unique prizes, and our Gift Boutique
was a huge draw as well.
It was a fitting preview for Mistletoe Medley
the following day. About 700 women joined us
at this perennial holiday favorite. Guests shopped
with our great vendors and admired our fantastic
raffle packages.
Our Chapter was well represented at the Auxiliary’s
100th Birthday Party. Seated: Natalie Machul,
Marge Tresley and Bev Taylor; Standing:
Merry Cheng, Joyce Cox-Cunningham,
Dottie Mele, Christa Griffith, Sue Gorden,
Jeannine Nelson, Margaret Marren
and Minnie Sandstedt
Our Cash Raffle continues to be very popular
with guests. And fortunately for us, Nives and
Joe Rizza sponsored it again. This dynamic duo has
supported our event for 18 years, and we want to
express our appreciation to them for their remarkable
loyalty to our organization.
The dining room looked spectacular with charming
ceramic Christmas tree centerpieces hand-painted
by our Chapter’s talented elves. These were very
popular with our guests, and we sold all of them
by the end of the day.
We send our sincere thanks to NBC5 Anchor
Allison Rosati, our Honorary Chairman and
Mistress of Ceremonies. Each year, she takes time
out of her hectic schedule to support our Chapter.
One of the most anticipated aspects of Mistletoe
Medley is its fashion show produced by
Tracey DiBuono and Zzazz Productions. This
year’s presentation showcased exciting fashions
from boutiques in the city and suburbs.
Our Chapter received many positive comments
from guests at both events. We want to thank
them for attending. And we also want to
acknowledge the terrific efforts of our Mistletoe
Medley Committee. As the saying goes, “It takes
a village” -- or in our case, a Chapter of very
dedicated members who have made the Infant
Welfare Society of Chicago a priority in their lives.
We thank all of them for their hard work and
dedication. In closing, we also want to recognize
the many Auxiliary members who attended our
events. We appreciate their loyalty.
In other news, we had a dozen members take
part in the Auxiliary’s 100th Birthday Party on
January 9th. Everyone had a great time celebrating
this special occasion.

LAKE FOREST
Our members are very excited and proud to
announce the details of the 2013 Lake Forest
Showhouse and Gardens. The house is spectacular,
and we look forward to seeing many familiar
Auxiliary faces during our three-week event from
April 27th – May 19th.
This year’s Showhouse is a fabulous David Adler
mansion. This legendary early 20th century architect was responsible for many grand estates, notable
among them this Italianate mansion on the shores
of Lake Michigan. Built in 1916, this six bedroom,
15,000 square foot villa enjoys an intricately paved
courtyard entry, spacious entertaining rooms, stately
ivy and magnificent gardens originally designed by
Ralph Rodney Root.
The Showhouse will also be the site of the second
celebratory event in the Auxiliary’s centennial year
calendar. On May 1st, members are invited to attend
a lecture by Monica Pedersen, well known interior
designer, lifestyle expert and television host. Monica
will discuss past showhouses and focus her comments
on design and decorating for specific rooms and
styles. At the end of her talk, she will take questions
and comments from guests. Refreshments and
a tour of the house will also be provided. We
encourage Auxiliary members to join us for this
wonderful occasion.
Looking back a bit, our Chapter sponsored 38 families
through the Auxiliary’s Holiday Special Gifts Program.
We send sincere thanks to our generous members
who helped make the holidays special and bright for
families at the Clinic.
Last, we are delighted to welcome our new Board
members: Tracy Chocol, Sam Davie, Lisa Garrity,
Jill Marquart, Susan Rolander and Jean Sullivan.

we purchase make the holidays happier for families
in great need of our support.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to be sponsoring
another “Healthy Steps 5k Run to Fund” this
spring. This physical fitness fundraiser grows in
popularity every year, and we hope for more runners,
walkers, sponsors and donors in 2013.

FLOSSMOOR JUNIORS
The Flossmoor Juniors Chapter has enjoyed a busy and “fruitful”
season. Our first event of the year was a social gathering at
Homewood’s newest wine and craft bar, Grape and Grain.
Members and their husbands gathered to enjoy a wine tasting,
and we even raised money to boot! Grape and Grain graciously
donated a beautiful wine basket for the event and thanks to the
generosity of our members and spouses, we raised over $400
for Holiday Special Gifts. As a result, we were able to adopt
two more families, bringing our total to eight families and 35
children. This proved to be the perfect way to have fun and bring
some joy to deserving IWS families. We wrapped our gifts at our
December meeting at the lovely home of our event Chairman,
Linda Van Kley. We enjoyed socializing with friends as we
celebrated the beauty and spirit of the holiday season.

Stephanie Weber at our wine tasting
As we marked our third year selling luminaria, we are happy
to report it was a great success! On December 14th, our
members were proud to sponsor the “Light Up the Night –
Light Up a Child’s Life” luminaria sale in Homewood and
Flossmoor. Kits were available at several local shops, and our
members sold them to family and friends. It was a magnificent
sight to see our towns alight at this wonderful time of year.
Grape & Grain generously donated
a wine basket for our fundraiser.
Mary Wurster is pictured here.
We are also very happy to welcome five women to the Flossmoor
Juniors Chapter! All of them offer great insights and fresh new
ideas for our group, and we are overjoyed to have them join
us. We welcome: Vickie Antonsen, Vicki Burke, Jamie Ford,
Lisa Kaufman and Mary Murray. Our Chapter is thrilled that
Vicki Burke has volunteered to chair our spring luncheon at
Olympia Fields Country Club. We send our sincere thanks
to her for taking this big job so soon after becoming a member,
and we look forward to a great event in April.
Finally, several of our members had a terrific time at the
Auxiliary’s 100th Birthday Party on January 9th. It was
gratifying to join members of other Chapters at our
centennial celebration.
Kristin Beal and Tanya Beal
enjoyed our fall member/spouse event.

BARRINGTON
We had a busy December. Our “Celebrate the Season” luncheon was a huge success
with over 250 women in attendance. The day was filled with raffles, auctions, shopping
and delicious food. Our guests had a wonderful time, and we appreciate their support.
We are so pleased that this event continues to grow in popularity each year!
In other holiday news, once again we placed a “Giving Tree” in Barrington’s Ice House
Mall during the Christmas season. Shoppers were asked to purchase and place items
on the tree for children at the Clinic. Our Chapter was thrilled with their response,
and we thank all those who donated gifts. We collected so many wonderful items for
infants and children. These were taken to the Clinic, and they were well received by
the families.
We also want to extend a warm welcome to our newest member, Kris Hamid, whose
mother was a longtime member of the Barrington Chapter. We know Kris will
be a wonderful addition to our group.
Our members gathered for a photo at our
“Celebrate the Season” holiday fundraiser.
In closing, our new year got off to a great start with the Auxiliary’s 100th Birthday
Party on January 9th. Several of our members attended, and it was a wonderful
celebration.
MOUNT PROSPECT
On November 9th, the Mount Prospect Chapter hosted a luncheon at Rolling Green
Country Club in Arlington Heights. Our guests enjoyed a riveting portrayal of noted
Chicagoan Bertha Palmer presented by historian Leslie Goddard.
Our nearly 300 attendees enjoyed bidding on great silent auction items including golf
packages, a night at the Wit Hotel and artwork, among many fun and fabulous silent
auction offerings donated by our members and supporters.
The benefit was wonderful, and everyone took home happy memories of a successful
event that supports a very worthy cause.
Our Chapter was represented at the Auxiliary’s 100th Birthday Party at the Clinic.
We enjoyed the festivities, and we are proud to be part of this remarkable organization.
Our Chapter was pleased so many Auxiliary members attended our annual
luncheon. Standing: Pat Danly (Wheaton), Antje Kalov (Ambassadors

The holiday season is always a busy one for the
hard-working members of the North Shore
Chapter. We hosted another successful Cheer for
Charity on November 14th at Sawbridge Studios
in Winnetka. Our event served as a preview party
for the store’s fantastic line of holiday and home
décor. We want to thank Sawbridge Studios
not only for hosting the benefit but also for
underwriting our invitations as well as the wine
and beverages at the event. In addition, the store
donated 15% of its sales that evening to IWS.
We are pleased to report that we raised $10,000
at the fundraiser.
In other exciting news, Fortune Brands Home
& Security recently donated $25,000 to the Clinic.
Our Chapter appreciates the company’s loyalty
and support.
During the holidays, our members enjoyed
taking part in the Auxiliary’s seasonal programs.
In December, we purchased gifts for 30 children
at the Clinic through the Holiday Special Gifts
Program. And as we do every year, we enjoyed a
wrapping party at the home of Chapter President
Elise Klein. It provided us with a great opportunity
to socialize, admire the gifts we had purchased
and of course, wrap them in spectacular fashion.
Our Chapter is pleased to support this important
program that has such a positive impact on our
Clinic families.
In other holiday news, Elise co-chaired the
See Santa Party with Pat Danly of the Wheaton
Chapter. This is the fifth year they have done so.
It was a wonderful occasion, and all the children
had a terrific time. We thank Elise and Pat for
their commitment to this event.
Throughout the year, our Chapter members make
donations to the Resale Shop. We are very fortunate
to have the support of Michelle Maestre who has
taken a special interest in the Shop with her many
generous donations. She also makes regular trips
there to drop off our members’ contributions.
We thank Michelle for making the Resale Shop
a priority.
Last but not least, Elise recently celebrated an
important birthday. She asked guests who attended
her party to make donations for IWS’ “Quads
Family” in lieu of birthday presents. As Auxiliary
members may know, the Kleins have taken a special
interest in this family and have helped them in
many ways since the birth of their four adorable
babies two years ago. We’ve learned that over
$3,000 has been given to the family as a result
of Elise’s generous gesture.
And speaking of celebrations, our Chapter was
represented at the Auxiliary’s 100th Birthday
Party in January. Congratulations to everyone
on a century of service.

HINSDALE
Our Chapter is hard at work creating another spectacular
TABLESCAPES for our guests. This year, it’s all about color with
unique and dramatic color-themed table settings created
by our talented members. The event will be held on Sunday,
March 3rd at the Westin Hotel in Oak Brook. We’re very pleased
that Zzazz Productions is providing informal modeling during
the luncheon showcasing a rainbow of fabulous fashions. There
will also be wonderful vendors offering unique merchandise.
On November 7th, we hosted our annual Baby Shower and
Luncheon at Seasons 52 in Oak Brook. Our generous members
donated about 500 items for infants at the Clinic. Chapter
President Dee Koffron held a brief meeting, and our members
discussed ways to attract new members. We were also pleased
to have past Auxiliary President Marge Tresley address our group.
She talked about the centennial as well as our Chapter’s many
contributions to the Auxiliary and the Clinic.
We held our Annual Baby Shower at Seasons 52 in Oak Brook.
Our members enjoyed two terrific social gatherings as 2012 drew
to a close. In October, Jenny Baird graciously hosted a couples’
wine tasting event. And on December 5th, Gail Daly invited us
to her home for our annual holiday party. Both events were great
fun, and we appreciate the hospitality of our hostesses.
Recently, several Hinsdale Chapter members attended the
Auxiliary’s 100th Birthday Party at the Clinic. It was a memorable
occasion, and we enjoyed spending time with the group as we came
together to commemorate this special year in our history.

DOWNERS GROVE
In September, the Downers Grove Chapter and 140 guests enjoyed
beautiful weather and another very successful “Win, Place and Show
for the Children” benefit at Arlington Park Racetrack.
We were thrilled to raise $29,000 for the Clinic through ticket sales,
donations, a grand raffle and a silent auction. We were happy to see
so many familiar faces from other Chapters. Our members appreciate
their support. Executive Director Dr. John Wilhelm attended as well.
He spoke about the Clinic and the services it provides to the city’s
women and children in need. Dr. Wilhelm also congratulated
the Chapter on the Auxiliary’s 100th birthday. He commented
on how important this organization has been to the Infant Welfare
Society and what extraordinary financial and volunteer support it has
provided during the past century.
Our members posed for a photo at our “Win, Place and Show
for the Children” fall fundraiser. Seated: Joan Pouleson,

In other news, several members went to the Clinic to help stuff gift
bags for the See Santa Party. We appreciate their support of this great
community outreach event.
On the social front, Kathy and Tom Huffman hosted a member/spouse
holiday party at their beautiful home. There were many toasts to a great
year as we enjoyed the delicious appetizers and desserts made by our
members.
With the holidays behind us, our members are busy planning our
Chapter’s popular Wine and Dine event this spring at the Westye
Group’s Sub-Zero/Wolf Test Kitchens. It’s a perennial sell-out!

WHEATON
The Wheaton Chapter celebrated the holiday
this past season by lighting up the Wheaton and
Naperville communities with luminaria for the
43rd year! We extend our sincere thanks to our
Chairmen who have coordinated this project for
three years: Elaine Luse, Dorne McLuckie and
Laura Gates Keogh. These extraordinary volunteers
worked tirelessly with our members to make this
fundraiser a huge success.
For the second year, we partnered with Buikema’s
ACE Hardware stores. We were fortunate that
we were able to sell luminaria and decorative gift
sets in three ACE locations: 90 E. Loop Road,
1705 N. Main Street and 1030 N. Washington
Street in Naperville. These ACE stores permitted
us to set up endcaps in the front of each store from
November 19th through Christmas Eve, and sales
were brisk throughout that period. The generosity
of Kyle Buikema and the entire Buikema family
as well as store managers, Patrick Zurick,
Dick Holterhouse and Janet Castlemon, was
remarkable. Our Chapter appreciates its partnership
with the Buikema family, and we look forward to
many more years of mutual success!
We also relied on Kohl’s Cares - Associates in Action
for a second year. The Wheaton Chapter was
fortunate to secure the participation of five stores,
and we thank the Kohl’s volunteers who donated
their time and effort to prepare our luminaria
inventory for the ACE stores. We send our sincere
thanks to the Kohl’s stores in Wheaton, Downers
Grove, Elgin, Batavia and St. Charles.
For the fifth year in a row, our wonderful member
Pat Danly co-chaired the See Santa Party with
Elise Klein of the North Shore Chapter. These ladies
worked diligently throughout the year collecting
gifts for the children at the Clinic. Chapter members
Betty Johnson and Celine Lillie helped decorate
the Community Room for the party. Once again,
Mark Danly proved to be a great Santa. And while
we’re on the subject of thanks, we mustn’t overlook
our reliable elves who volunteered at the party:
Kathy Schneider, Jayne Miller, Grace Chen and
Laura Gates Keogh. Jim Keogh also volunteered
and from all reports, he had more fun than the kids!
It was a memorable day for everyone involved.
We also want to acknowledge the outstanding
leadership of Karen Brashears who once again
coordinated our Chapter’s Holiday Special Gifts
participation. She masterfully managed our
members’ participation in this wonderful
program. Our Chapter adopted 50 children!
Also, we congratulate Karen on her 20th
anniversary with the Chapter.
Our members were delighted to celebrate the
97th birthday of Mary Beth White, a founding
member of our Chapter. Clockwise from top left:
Becky Mark, Lorraine Crompton, Rosanne Merrill,

Finally, the Wheaton Chapter was very well
represented at the Auxiliary’s 100th Birthday
Party. We were also pleased that our founding
member, Mary Beth White, was able to join us
for the celebration.

CLARENDON HILLS
Our Chapter has been incredibly busy. We had
hardly finished our Luminaria Sale before we moved
into benefit planning mode for our February event.
We are thrilled to report that both fundraisers were
very successful.
Our luminaria sale was a great success
thanks to the efforts of Kelly Craig,
Stephanie Ley and Melanie Domke.
In the Clarendon Hills Chapter, the holidays have
become synonymous with luminaria. And fortunately,
many residents in our area feel the same way we do
and show it through their support of the sale. Work
began on the project in November when our members
wrapped luminaria kits. Sales began in December
and took place every weekend until Christmas Eve.
This is one of our most successful fundraising efforts
-- one that not only benefits the Clinic but also brings
a brilliant, beautiful glow to our lovely village and
surrounding communities. In fact, Hinsdale Living
magazine featured this marvelous holiday tradition in
its December issue with an article and a photograph
of Chapter President Jackie Anglin, Vice President
Suzanne Austin and Luminaria Chairman Kelly Craig
surrounded by luminaria. We extend our thanks to
Kelly, her assistant Melanie Domke, and Out-of-Town
Luminaria Chairman Stephanie Ley. They oversaw this
amazing effort and ensured that everything ran smoothly
throughout the project.
and we look forward to presenting a check to the
Auxiliary soon. Once again, the Union League Club
proved to be a perfect venue for a wonderful event.
It was a spectacular evening with raffles, silent and
live auctions, a surf and turf dinner, and dancing to
Orchestra 33. There was also a photo booth for some
picture-taking fun. Our Chapter sends its sincere
thanks to Stacy Wyent, our Benefit Coordinator.
We also want to thank members of other Chapters
who supported us. It was great to see so many
familiar faces there.
Looking back a bit, we had a busy and productive
fall. Many of our members participated in the
Auxiliary’s Coat Drive and donated garments for
our Clinic families. Last October, our members
enjoyed a fashion show and luncheon at Neiman
Marcus in Oakbrook Center. The store has been a
loyal donor to our Chapter, and it was our pleasure
to support their event.
In membership news, we welcomed four new women
to our Chapter in November and December. We are
thrilled to have Julia Costello, Christy McCormick,
Jennifer Alsman and Sue Mann join our team.
We enjoyed getting to know them better at our
December dinner meeting/White Elephant gift

LISLE/NAPERVILLE
Our Chapter hosted its annual fall benefit on October 15th.
After a wonderful lunch, guests enjoyed well-known book
dramatist Barbara Rinella who brought to life Nora Ephron’s
hilarious I Feel Bad About My Neck. Once again, our basket
raffle received rave reviews from our guests. We also had
a silent auction, cash raffle and vendors.
Since our fundraiser featured a book review format, we
decided to emphasize children’s literacy. We encouraged
our guests to bring books to the benefit, and our generous
attendees donated over 150 volumes. These were distributed
to children at the See Santa Party.
Cathy Pakenham, Grace Ann Parkhurst and Marj Rowe
made final preparations prior to our Chapter’s fall fundraiser.
Our Chapter is pleased that our event was successful.
As Auxiliary members may recall, we changed the format
of our fundraiser this past year, and we’re delighted with
our guests’ reactions to the new concept.
During our November meeting, our members evaluated our
benefit and began planning our 2013 event. In lieu of our
regular December meeting, we hosted a holiday dinner at
Basil’s Restaurant where we enjoyed delicious food and the
company of good friends.
On January 9th, several of our members attended the 100th
Birthday Party at the Clinic, and everyone had a great time.
The Community Room looked fantastic, and the party was
wonderful. Of course, our own Carolyn Bowman was in
charge, so we knew it would be a memorable event. We wish
our fellow Auxiliary members a very Happy 100th Birthday!

We remember “Christmas Past”
The spirit of giving . . .
These kids gave a “thumbs up”
when they received their gift bags.
Our splendid Santa (aka Mark Danly)
proved to be popular with kids of every age.
For so many years, the Auxiliary has made community
outreach a priority – and never more so than during
the holidays. At that time of year when our thoughts
turn to families and friends, our members also look
to those who may need their help. Our Holiday
Special Gifts Program demonstrates the organization’s
commitment to helping others in the most eloquent
manner possible. HSG Chairman Nancy Krause says
2012 was an outstanding year in terms of member
involvement and patient participation. Our members
“adopted” 163 families with 419 children. We want to
thank all our members who took part in the program,
and we know our patients send their thanks as well.
Take the Gorski* family, for example . . . Tom and
Lisa have three children, one with severe autism.
Lisa and her children have been patients at the Clinic
for many years, and the family is thankful for the
excellent care they receive at IWS. Unfortunately,
Tom lost his job in December, and the family was in
serious financial straits. Of course, his layoff couldn’t
have come at a worse time as the holidays approached.
Lisa says she dreaded Christmas morning. There
would be no presents under the tree, and she couldn’t
bear the thought of disappointing her children.
When she was notified that her family was selected
for Holiday Special Gifts, she was thrilled. Her
provider tells us that when she and her husband
came to collect the gifts, they were overcome by what
they saw – six giant bags filled to the brim with gifts
purchased by our generous members. Lisa described
this Christmas as “a miracle” with many gifts under
the family tree thanks to the Auxiliary.
The Gorskis are like so many of the families we
serve through Holiday Special Gifts. We hope
our members know how much their kindness and
generosity mean to our patients.
We want to thank Nancy Krause for her excellent
coordination of the program. In addition, the
Auxiliary wishes to acknowledge Auxiliary Assistant
Celia Rosales who spent countless hours inputting
data on the HSG families. Last but certainly not
least, we send our sincere thanks to our members
for making a difference in the lives of those less
fortunate – and that knowledge is a wonderful gift
in and of itself.
Seeing is believing . . .
About 800 children attended our See Santa Party
on December 1st. And as is the case every year, this
event reinforces our collective faith in the magic of
the holidays, the joy of giving and the innocence of
youth. As the line began to form outside the Clinic
around 7:30 am (well before the party began at
9:00 am) the kids couldn’t contain their excitement.
Parents smiled lovingly and encouraged them to
be patient as they waited for their audience with
Santa. Once inside the Kaczmarek Community
Room, the excellent planning and coordination by
our Chairmen, Pat Danly and Elise Klein, became
obvious. The kids collected their gift bags that were
color coded and labeled according to age and gender.
We’re sure Santa himself would have been impressed.
*The patients’ names have been changed to protect their privacy.
Santa spent quality time
with his admiring fans.

11/14/2013 10:39:23 AM
And speaking of Santa, Mark Danly did an
admirable job. For the past four years, he
has done the Santa suit proud. Mark has a
wonderful way with the children, talking to
them and listening intently to their wish lists.
To put it simply, we could not ask for a better
representative of our favorite North Pole resident
than Mark!
There are many people who make this great
party possible. First and foremost, we want
to recognize the marvelous work of Pat and
Elise who have chaired this event for the past
five years. Each lends her own special touch
to the party. According to Elise, Pat is the
organizational wizard who oversees arrangements
for the event. Pat is also responsible for creating
a winter wonderland in the Community Room.
For her part, Pat says Elise’s shopping prowess,
bargain hunting and generosity are simply
extraordinary and adds, “The party wouldn’t
be what it is without her!” Suffice it to say, we
believe Santa has nothing on these two women
who give so generously of their time and talents
to make the holidays special for children at the
Clinic.
In addition, the Auxiliary acknowledges the
following Chapters that assisted in stuffing the
gift bags, decorating the Community Room
and volunteering at the party: Ambassadors at
Large, Barrington, Flossmoor Juniors, Hinsdale,
Lake Forest, Lisle/Naperville, North Shore and
Wheaton. We’re also fortunate to have many
generous “elves” throughout our Chapters
who purchased gifts for the children. And, we
send a huge thank you to our stellar staff members
for their outstanding efforts: Maria Penland,
Celia Rosales, Nayeli Martinez, Luis Rodriguez
and Marco Ruiz.
Leigh Avsec was one of those who generously
volunteered her time at the See Santa Party. Leigh
is the corporate counsel at Fortune Brands in
Deerfield, and she accepted IWS’ Champion for
Children award on behalf of the company at our
Annual Meeting last October. At the time, she
expressed interest in becoming more involved
at the Clinic, and she was happy to volunteer at
the See Santa Party.
Recently, Leigh shared a very special memory with us.
During the party, a mom came in with her son, Jose,
who was severely disabled and in a wheelchair. Of
course, Jose was excited to be there, and so Leigh
gave him a high five as he and his mom waited
patiently in line. And to everyone’s surprise
(particularly his mom’s) he responded with his own
high five. According to his mother, this was the first
time he had ever done so. She began to cry, as did
everyone who observed the exchange. Treasured
moments like this one will stay with us forever.
Volunteer Leigh Avsec shared a high five
with one of the children at the party.
Elise Klein and Pat Danly, our See Santa Party
Chairmen, and Auxiliary President
Lynette Paulsen pose for a photo with Santa.
Certainly, our holiday programs reflect favorably
on our organization and the Clinic we serve. The
Auxiliary believes its community outreach through
programs like Holiday Special Gifts and the See Santa
Party is every bit as important as the money we raise.
In closing, we sincerely thank our members for their
kindness during the holidays and throughout the year
for that matter.
Gift distribution went smoothly thanks
to the efforts of our stellar volunteers.
