Annual Report - Fiscal Year 2014

2013-2014 ANNUAL REPORT
The theme of this year’s Annual Report is “Connections,” and fiscal year 2014 at North Shore
Senior Center was all about connections—most ongoing, but some new.
Our social services staff and hundreds of volunteers managed and delivered important in-home
and community-based services to almost 19,000 older adults in more than 23 north suburban
communities. This year’s greatly expanded Lifelong Learning program presented more than 100
courses, lectures, fun events and excursions every four months on a wide variety of interesting
and timely topics to approximately 3,000 participants. The House of Welcome program continued
to operate near capacity, serving the day care needs of adults with dementia in a professional,
caring and sensitive way. The Center also launched the CareOptions program in 2014 to serve
adults to whom the Center delivers for-pay, in-home care management services.
A LETTER TO OUR SUPPORTERS
Dear Donors and Friends:
We demolished an obsolete building on our Northfield property and constructed a new 80-space
parking lot to respond to the demand from our members for more parking. The new lot will have
convenient access from Winnetka Road, better signage and visibility and will help the Center
welcome and connect with even more members, patrons and guests at our main campus.
Throughout the bustle of all this activity, the staff, volunteers and board members of the Center
have kept the vision of the organization firmly in mind: connecting with and serving the needs
of older adults in our north suburban communities.
Challenges remain. The State of Illinois has moved to a managed care reimbursement model
for social services, and the Center leads in the adaptation to this new model. Not surprisingly,
funding to support the services, benefits and connections we provide to older adults is an ongoing
issue, but we continue to emphasize the importance of expense control, revenue growth and
increased contributions from those in a position to make donations.
We at North Shore Senior Center welcome the new year, knowing that it will bring exciting
opportunities for maintaining and expanding connections as we continue the important and
rewarding work of enhancing the well-being of older adults.

Connected TO THE COMMUNITY
“
I’m always involved in a group of some sort and I like the people
that I meet. Overall, I think the Center is wonderful, because they
offer so many activities to keep us busy, alive and active.
”
Sylvia Callistein has always led a very

busy life—and she wouldn’t have it any other
way. “I don’t like to sit still and do nothing,” she
said. “After I was married here in the Midwest,
my husband bought a McDonald’s franchise in
Buffalo, N.Y. and I was the advertising copywriter
for our business.”
Left: Sylvia plays
Halloween Bingo with local
grade school students who
visited the Friendship Circle.
Right: Sylvia participates
in a “Sit and Get Fit”
exercise session.
Those years with the family’s restaurant even
gave Sylvia the opportunity to meet the man who
launched the fast-food industry, McDonald’s
founder Ray Kroc. “He was a bit older by that point,
but I did get to shake his hand,” she recalled with
a smile. In between her copywriting assignments,
Sylvia was also a full-time mother who raised three
children. “Did they keep me busy? No question
about it!”
Today, she is a widow, a grandmother and a
retiree. Sylvia is also a North Shore Senior Center
member—and that keeps her social calendar full.
Every Monday and Wednesday, Sylvia visits our
Northfield location to participate in our Friendship
Circle program. This co-ed group provides an
opportunity for seniors to regularly come together
for structured activities that foster socializing,
support, and mental stimulation.
“I first came to the Center to be a volunteer,” Sylvia
said. “I worked in Mim’s Gift Shop for a number of
years and I enjoyed that very much. Then, I found
out about this program and I think it’s just terrific.”
Friendship Circle participants join together to
work on service projects, such as creating stuffed
animals for children who are receiving medical
care at local hospitals. The program also
incorporates a “Sit and Get Fit” exercise session
that helps seniors maintain flexibility and full range
of motion. Friendship Circle participants eat lunch
as a group and then wrap up their day with a
game of cards or a bit of musical entertainment.
Much to her surprise, Sylvia has become very fond
of the program’s fitness component. “When they
first mentioned chair exercises, I said, ‘Give me
a break,’” Sylvia said. “But, I found out they work
the arms, the legs, everything. They are wonderful
exercises for older adults!”
Sylvia appreciates the Friendship Circle most
for the variety it brings into her life. “I’m always
involved in a group of some sort and I like the
people that I meet,” she said. “Overall, I think the
Center is wonderful, because they offer so many
activities to keep us busy, alive and active.”

Connected TO THE MISSION

I had a close relationship with all four of my grandparents.
Can you imagine a new career
”
MISSION
that would be enticing enough for you to move to
another state, go back to school, and ultimately, take
an 80 percent pay cut? Cynthia Phon envisioned
such a profession—and that was lucky for us.
Left: As a North Shore
Senior Center staff member,
Cynthia often participates in
the organization’s fundraising
events. At a recent Benefit,
she sold “Mystery Box”
raffle tickets with co-worker
Maura Rogan.
In 2005, Cynthia was living on New York City’s
Upper East Side. She worked for Towers-Perrin,
a professional services firm specializing in
human resources consulting. After 12 years with
the company, she had been made a partner.
All was going well until something rather unusual
happened: Cynthia changed her mind about
what she wanted to do with her life.
“I understand corporate America and I think that
it’s really important,” Cynthia said. “But, it was
no longer a good fit for me. The idea of helping
others was very compelling and more in keeping
with my personal values.”
That summer, Cynthia packed up and moved to the
Midwest. She enrolled in the University of Chicago’s
prestigious School of Social Service Administration
and earned her master’s degree in 2007.
“I liked the idea of working one-on-one with people,”
Cynthia said. “I came to social work specifically
to serve older adults, partially because I had a
close relationship with all four of my grandparents.
Before I changed careers, I volunteered as a
Friendly Visitor for an older woman who lived in
my neighborhood in New York. I knew social work
was the right choice for me—it just fit.”
Today, Cynthia is a Clinical Supervisor in North
Shore Senior Center’s Northfield headquarters.
She helps train new social workers and other
staff members who might be new to the field of
aging. “Not everyone comes with the same
level of experience with older adults,” she said.
Cynthia supervises eight full-time social workers
who, in turn, have caseloads of anywhere from
70 to 100 clients.
She considers North Shore Senior Center’s role
in the community to be a critical one. “Program
benefits are complicated,” Cynthia said. “People
don’t always know where to turn or if they’re making
good decisions. We connect them with benefits
and services. It involves specialized knowledge and
we can help them understand what choices would
work best for them.”
Cynthia said that in addition to seeking help with
Medicare, the Senior Health Insurance Program
(SHIP) or energy assistance, seniors will often come
to us for short-term needs. “Sometimes people find
us after they’ve had a change of circumstances,
like the death of a spouse,” she said. “Or, maybe
they fall and break a hip and they need homedelivered meals—not forever, but just for a while.”
Referrals to the Center’s Social Services Department
also come from home-health agencies, hospitals,
pastors and other social workers.
Today, almost 10 years after she left New York City,
Cynthia is still happy with her career transition.
“For me, social work is rewarding because it’s
more emotional than the corporate world,” she said.
“You’re way closer to individual people’s lives.”

“
We pool information and share it with the group.
They are there for us, every step of the way. It gives us a
sense of hope and allows us to remain more positive.
”
When facing an age-related challenge,
many people find it helpful to turn to others outside
their immediate circle. North Shore Senior Center’s
support groups are a powerful resource for those
facing challenges related to medical conditions,
illnesses, relationships or major life transitions.

facilitators, Cynthia Phon
and Nan Hohf helped
the Enkeys with issues
related to Bob’s
Parkinson’s diagnosis.
Bob and Gail Enkey participate in our weekly
Parkinson’s Disease Support Group meetings.
These gatherings allow for people with Parkinson’s
and their caregivers to attend separate support
sessions, with everyone reconvening afterwards
to socialize over coffee and dessert.
Gail learned of this offering after picking up a
brochure at a community fair in Wilmette. “I came
first and checked it out,” she said. “Bob joined me
on the third meeting. For us, it’s nice to have a
group to talk to, compare notes with and share
the journey.”
Bob, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease
10 years ago, was initially hesitant to attend a
support group. His first visit to North Shore Senior
Center changed his mind. “I liked the group right
away,” he said. “What was helpful for me was
to be able to learn from other people—many of
them older than me—who had received the
same diagnosis.”
The Enkeys refer to Parkinson’s as a “57-variety
disease,” meaning that its symptoms are
multifaceted and different for everyone. “Some
people have one or more of the symptoms,” Bob
said. “I seem to have them all.” While he doesn’t
experience the tremors commonly associated with
the disease, Bob has difficulties related to double
vision, depth perception and balance.
The Enkeys are quick to recommend the
support group to others who have had a diagnosis
of Parkinson’s disease, particularly as a means
of keeping abreast of new resources and assistive
technologies. “We pool information and share it
with the group,” said Gail. “They are there for us,
every step of the way. It gives us a sense of hope
and allows us to remain more positive.”
Bob and Gail met at Illinois Wesleyan University,
where they both studied fine arts. After graduation,
they became art teachers—Bob with high school
students at New Trier and Gail at the elementary
school level. They have been married for 45 years
and will soon move to Florida to live near their
oldest daughter and her family. The Enkeys say
they won’t miss the Chicago winters, but they will
miss their support group. “It helps you feel like you
have some control over the Parkinson’s disease,”
Bob said. “It empowers you.”
Gail believes that Bob’s diagnosis has, in some
ways, helped strengthen their marriage. “It’s
caused us to relate to each other in a way we
might never have,” she said. “Dealing with
Parkinson’s is a team effort—it has to be. That
just makes it so much easier.”

Connected TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES
“
We learned on the job. I had never done
anything like it before and I thought it would
be good to try something new.
”
NEW OPPORTUNITIES
At North Shore Senior Center,
we believe that retirement can be an opportunity
for exploration and reinvention. This was the case
for Van Billington, a Glenview resident who, at
the age of 63, found himself an official “retiree.”
Left: Van Billington and
other Men’s Club volunteers
videotape our programs,
such as the Veterans
Panel shown here, for
re-broadcast on cable
TV stations.
“My company was relocating to Springfield,
Missouri, and I didn’t want to move, so I opted for
retirement,” he said. However, after having spent
28 years in the field of association management
and becoming an executive director, Van wasn’t
the type of fellow to devote the next few decades
to watching daytime TV.
“I was bored and I needed something to do,” he
said. “I first came to North Shore Senior Center
as a volunteer in the Social Services Department,
where I worked on clerical projects. I liked the
discipline of being a volunteer. It gave a sense of
order and routine to the week.”
As time went on, Van discovered other Center
offerings. He joined the Gone Fishin’ Club and
started attending the free Tuesday morning
lectures sponsored by the Men’s Club.
Since 2002, the Village of Glenview has taped
selected Tuesday programs for broadcast on its
cable station, GVTV. A team of volunteers handled
the taping and editing, but eventually, their ranks
dwindled and the station was finding it difficult to
cover our Men’s Club lectures on a regular basis.
With the goal of keeping a steady stream of new
content available for its viewers, GVTV staff asked
our Men’s Club officers if they could find volunteers
willing to do the tapings on Tuesdays using the
station’s equipment.
A handful of Men’s Club members—including
Van Billington—offered to help. The Village of
Glenview donated two cameras and related
equipment for the project and provided training
for our aspiring videographers.
“We learned on the job,” said Van. “I had never
done anything like it before and I thought it would
be good to try something new.” As opposed to
just watching TV, Van was actually learning how to
create TV. He began to recognize that the familiar
medium was far more complex than it appeared.
“This process has made me more aware of media
presentations and TV programs and how the
camera cuts between shots,” he said.
After Men’s Club programs are filmed, GVTV
volunteers edit the footage and burn multiple
DVDs for the Center’s use. Over the past year, the
Men’s Club volunteers have taped 23 Tuesday
programs and have expanded the project’s reach
to Northbrook, Wilmette and Skokie’s cable TV
stations, which now regularly air our Men’s Club
programs. In 2015, the program will expand so
that our volunteers can also learn to use video
editing equipment.
As a volunteer effort, the Men’s Club video
project illustrates what teamwork can accomplish.
Part entertainment, part enrichment, part public
relations, it embodies the mission of North Shore
Senior Center. It also demonstrates how retirement
can present new opportunities in the realm of
lifelong learning.
Stay tuned: You never know what will be coming
up next.
