Board of Advisors'
Circle of Friends
Annual Appeal 2011-2012
For the Little Sisters of the Poor
Over the years, contributions to the
Circle of Friends have helped the Little
Sisters accomplish many needed
repairs. This year’s Annual appeal
goes toward updating the corridors
and community areas in the building
where the Residents live.
At the time the building opened
in 1979, it was considered
state of the art in design and
comfort for seniors. However,
time marches on. Decorating
and life style trends change.
Floors, walls, and doorways
take the abuse of daily use. The
ocean air, rain damage and hot
summer days add to the wear
and tear. Before you know it,
not only does our space look
rough around the edges, it has
the overall feel of being stuck in
a distant decade.
This year’s project is to revisit
our interior look and make
revisions in color while adding
visual interest to create a clean
and attractive design. With wellchosen changes we believe we
can transform the environment
without incuring major expenses.
The future look will be in line
with what our residents find
inviting and livable. It must
appeal to senior at all levels:
active adults, assisted living, as
well as skilled nursing. We want
the perfect balance between
user-friendly and attractive.
An additional goal is to create
appealing common areas that
will encourage Residents to get
out of their apartments and
rooms. These areas will almost
seem like extension to their
private space.

The Little Sisters of the Poor provide a loving Home for nearly 100 elderly. Care
levels include Independent Living Apt., Residential Living, Assisted Living, & Skilled
Nursing. Each year the Little Sisters must raise over 60% of their operating costs
from donations, events and estate gifts.
We want to incorporate as much
of our existing furnishings into
the new design program and
successfully make it feel as if
it has all been designed and
appropriately planned together.
We look forward to having
you assist us in this important
project to achieve a warm
and tasteful upgrade to our
Residents’ Building that will
create the comfort and order of
Home for many years to come.
The dining room, auditorium and kitchen are on
the ground floor of the Residents’ Building. The
other three floors provide rooms for Residents
of various capabilities, including Assisted Living,
Skilled Nursing and Residential Living.
Flooring and wallpaper seams
lift from water damage.
Wheelchairs and walkers cause damage
to doorways and floor trim.
CIRCLE OF FRIENDS REPORT 2010-2011
September 2011
Dear Friends,
We proudly present the results of our 10th Circle of Friends Annual
Appeal. You generously responded with $124,200 for the revitalizatin
of an aging building into a suitable hospitality and meeting center.
Our goal was to launch the project by raising the funds for the electrical,
heating & plumbing upgrades. Other foundations and benefactors have
supported this project and the results are truly wonderful.
The building is still the same size and shape, but it is newly energized
from the repairs and redecorating. This functional and welcoming
center has already hosted a nearly two week retreat for over seventeen
Little Sisters from all over the United States.
The Sisters look forward to proactive use of the building to benefit the
order in many new ways. Thank you for joining us to help with this
effort.
Gratefully,
The Board of Advisors

* The Board of Advisors & many of our Circle of
Friends also contributed to the Auxiliary's appeal
(Choir of Angels). We thank you for supporting
both appeals.
**We regret that many kind gifts of $49 or less
could not be included in this publication.
Thank you for helping fund the new
electrical upgrades. This was the most
essential element to make the project
viable.
The kitchen was updated with new sheet flooring,
cabinets, counter tops, paint and light fixtures.
New double pane windows were installed in
every room, replacing the aluminum fixtures
from the 1960’s. The quiet and energy efficiency
is already very apparent.
The meeting room (above) has new sheet
flooring, window treatments and fresh paint.
Each sleeping room was freshly painted
and received new light fixtures and window
treatments.
Dear Board of Advisors,
Thank you for this invitation to join the Circle of Friends for 2011-2012.
We are (I am) happy to support the improvements to the Residents’ Building:

Little Sisters of the Poor
2100 South Western Avenue
San Pedro, CA 90732-4389
The congregation of the Little Sisters of the Poor was founded in Brittany, France by St. Jeanne
Jugan in 1839 with the mission to serve the elderly poor. Today 2,700 Little Sisters serve in
over 200 homes in 31 countries.
They have served in Southern California since 1905. They provide a loving Home for nearly
one hundred elderly. Care levels include Independent Living Apartments, Residential Living,
Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing. Each year the Little Sisters must raise over 60% of their
operating costs from gifts, bequests and donated commodities.
The continuation of this ministry is made possible by the generosity of many benefactors who
share with the Sisters a deep belief in the dignity of every life and a desire to assist those who
are less fortunate in the most vulnerable phase of their lives.
