talented, Mr. Fator spent the previous morning
visiting the Vogel Alcove, where he and
Winston the Impersonating Turtle delighted
a smaller, shorter audience. During his act,
Mr. Fator employs a bevy of puppets with
distinct personalities to great comic effect.
Dallas Morning News reporter Michael
Granberry wrote that the event “high point by
far was Fator outfitting an unsuspecting Dallas
businessman in a mask, wig and dress to make
him look like Cher, as Fator, à la Sonny Bono,
sang “I Got You Babe” for both of them. Now Terry Fator visits the Vogel Alcove, to the delight of the children.

Two hundred forty members of the Children’s Chorus

performance hall from every doorway. According to Mr.

President’s Message
By the time this article is published, my two-year
term as president of the Vogel Alcove board will
have ended. The last two years have been extremely
rewarding for my entire family, and I am grateful
to have had the opportunity to lead such a quality
organization and contribute to such an important and
just cause. During the past two years, Vogel Alcove
experienced a number of changes and accomplished
many goals. Among many others, consider the
following accomplishments:
1. We made signif icant progress towards
professionalizing our administrative functions. In addition, the board’s
governance policies and procedures were revamped to conform to best
practices. Even now, we continue an active process of considering whether
and to what extent we should further modify board and board committee
size, composition and responsibility. Commencing with the new fiscal year,
we have created two new board vice president positions: vice president law
and vice president technology (marketing/social media).
2. In June 2010, the board adopted a new long range plan, which I expect
to serve as the blueprint for the Alcove’s foreseeable future. The plan includes
four initiatives that will be difficult to implement successfully, but will be
well worth the effort.
3. Notwithstanding the challenging economy, our 2009 and 2010 annual
Vogel Alcove Arts Performance Events were two of our most successful ever.
In 2010, we instituted a number of changes that I expect will propel the annual
Event to even greater heights in the future.
4. Led by Dave Cunningham, our New Facilities Committee made
significant progress toward positioning us to undertake a capital campaign
to build a new facility, including the preparation of preliminary construction
plans. The Alcove purchased the land used as its parking lot upon which the
new facility will be constructed.
5. We experienced significant turnover of our staff. Among others, we
welcomed Galen Evans, director of finance and administration; and Sharon
Worthy, administrative assistant. In addition, we expanded the responsibilities
of Coleone Taylor, our director of childcare. We are in the midst of a nationwide
search for a new executive director to replace Barbara Landix, while
simultaneously interviewing candidates to lead our social services department.
6. We also adopted a new logo and redesigned our website (www.
vogelalcove.org) to be very user-friendly and informative.
I could not be more proud of the Vogel Alcove officers and directors who
have unfailingly supported me during the past two years. Without intending
to slight any of these hard working and talented individuals, special thanks
go to Sheila Chapman, first vice president; Michael Hoffman, our outgoing
immediate past president; Chuck Stein, who is stepping down as treasurer after
more than 10 years but will continue to serve as a director; and Peter Brodsky,
vice president Arts Performance Event. In addition, I received extraordinary
support from Alan Gold, Alice Barnett, Craig Budner and Andy Rabin. The
counsel and commitment I received from all of these people, especially during
the last nine months, was hugely appreciated. The quality and dedication of
our entire board of directors is second to none.
As I turn over the reins of this wonderful organization to Sheila Chapman,
my successor and incoming board president, I want to extend a very special
(continued on page 3)
VOGEL ALCOVE NEWS
President’s Message (continued from page 2)
thank you to my family. My wife Sondra and my children,
Courtney and Jamie, not only enthusiastically accommodated
the long hours I spent fulfilling my obligations to the Alcove,
but they participated in a variety of Vogel Alcove activities.
Sondra and Courtney volunteered at the Christmas store.
Sondra organized clothing, book and toy donations from
several of our friends. Jamie and her Y Princess tribe visited
the Alcove and made tie dye shirts for the kids. Together with
two of her friends, Courtney raised almost $500 for the Alcove
by organizing “Hip Hop for the Homeless,” where they taught
a group of kindergarteners and first graders to dance. Courtney
and Jamie both attended the Arts Performance Events. We all
enjoyed a variety of enriching experiences and, without a doubt,
during the last two years proved the old adage that when you
give to others, you receive more than you give.
I look forward to serving as immediate past president and
actively contributing to the even more significant growth and
change Vogel Alcove is so well-positioned to achieve. Thank
you for all you do to support us. - Alan Perkins
Annual Campaign for
Homeless Children:
Success Story
When you give to the Vogel Alcove’s Annual Campaign
for Homeless Children, you give hope to young children
like Monica…
Following a two-year separation, five-year-old Monica
was taken from her foster family and reunited with her
mother. The little girl had few memories of her mother and
grieved the loss of her beloved foster family. When Monica
came to the Alcove she was underweight and withdrawn.
She refused to eat, play or participate in classroom
activities. In anguish, she often hit and scratched herself.
Monica began play therapy with one of the Alcove’s own
professional therapists who quickly taught the troubled girl
how to express her feelings of anger, confusion and loss.
She helped Monica understand who her real “Mommy”
was and met with the child’s mother to talk about ways
to bond with her daughter. Soon enough, Monica began
to feel secure. She stopped hurting herself, began eating
and quickly gained weight. In the classroom, Monica
blossomed. She joined in classroom activities and even
made a few friends along the way.
The successful recovery of homeless children like
Monica depends on donors like you. Look for the 2010
Vogel Alcove Annual Campaign for Homeless letter in
the mail this fall or visit www.vogelalcove.org to make a
contribution online. Your gift will help provide a foundation
for success for the very youngest of homeless children.

year’s goal despite an extremely difficult economy. Mr. Miller
serves as Group President-Corporate Strategy & Development
of AT&T Inc., a Paramount Sponsor of the 2010 event. AT&T
Inc. has also become the very first sponsor of next year’s event.
Mr. McKool is Founding Partner and President of McKool
Smith, a Pinnacle sponsor of this year’s event. A sponsor
since 1994, his law firm and partners this year surpassed their
previous high levels of giving.
The event vice chairs Debbie and Gerald Barnes, Lael
and Peter Brodsky, Lynae and Dean Fearing, Rita Sue
and Alan Gold, and Tracy and Kent Rathbun also recruited
numerous sponsors and advertisers that were integral to the
success of the event. In addition, Mr. Brodsky served as Board
vice president/event. Board member Rick Lacher chaired the
Lacher Committee whose effective sponsor solicitation made
a significant impact on event revenue. The top sponsors who
supported the 2010 event are listed on the opposite page.
Ms. Rathbun and Ms. Fearing, with the help of Ms. Miller,
planned a superb dinner for more than 900 sponsors and
their guests. They secured the donation of gorgeous floral
centerpieces and gift cards for the sponsor dinner tables, which
featured paintings by the Alcove children framed by Jessica
and Laurent Therivel. The centerpieces, gift cards and
paintings were auctioned at the event’s first-ever silent auction.
Ms. Fearing and Ms. Rathbun also obtained hundreds of
delectable desserts for the reception following the performance,
many of which were donated by their restaurant, Shinsei, and
by Fearing’s and Kent Rathbun Concepts.
Event attendees received the beautiful commemorative
program created by the Fossil Design Studio as a pro bono project
for the ninth year in a row. Becky Winslow brought her artistic
ability and skill to the book’s professional design and layout.
Blaine Leist again expertly managed the production process.
Don Clampitt and Clampitt Paper and David Besgrove and
Ussery Printing helped reduce the cost of the program with
their inkind donations toward the paper and printing.
The ads in the commemorative program provided critical
event revenue, thanks to the Ad Solicitation Committee chaired by
Lisa Cregan with special recognition to vice chair Gerald Barnes
McKool Smith table

and his colleagues at Neiman
Marcus, who again secured
many important advertisers.
Fred Ashman and Mark
Maisonneuve of Maxcel
Multi Image produced and
directed an enlightening and
engaging video about the
Alcove with the guidance
of vice chairs Lael and Peter
Brodsky. It is the company’s
fourth pro bono video for
the Alcove. Following the Children’s Chorus of Greater
video, Board president Alan Dallas
Perkins reported on the Board’s new long-range plan, paid
tribute to honorees Jeneane and Aaron Pearlman and Tina
Wasserman for their past service as event volunteers, and
recognized the co-chairs’ tireless efforts, presenting them with
Steuben hearts as tokens of the Alcove’s appreciation.
Mr. Miller and Mr. McKool praised the generosity of
the event sponsors and advertisers and the dedication of
volunteers. Gail Cooksey and Molli Samuels of Cooksey
Communications generated outstanding publicity to promote
this year’s event, donating their public relations expertise for
the ninth consecutive year. A big thank you to those who
worked to make the 2010 benefit a success: the co-chairs; vice
chairs; Event Executive Committee; Benefit Committee; Lacher
Committee; and Alcove Board; with the skilled professional
assistance of Anna Irving, Alcove director of development
who has managed the event for 13 years; and consultants
Wolford McCue and Adele Demler. The 2010 event sponsors,
advertisers and general ticket patrons funded 62 percent of the
Vogel Alcove’s annual expenses, helping create opportunities
for the youngest children of homelessness families who deserve
a chance to succeed.
