SHARE FOUNDATION WITH THE HANDICAPPED P.O. Box 400 ROLLING PRAIRIE, INDIANA 46371-0400 GOOD NEWS MAY 2014 NEWSLETTER FOR THE OTHER ABLED 219-778-2585 [email protected] VOLUME 40 #7 FROM THE DESK OF FATHER BLANEY... This has been a very difficult spring. Every year we plant 200 new trees – 100 black walnut and 100 red oak. In due time, they will be harvested for the wood and should provide for the cost of all our food for each year; in due time. This year it was difficult to determine when to plant. But they are in the ground, covered with mulch and a protective tube; marked with a stake and watered. Our villagers do a fine job! Mother’s Day I remember one Mother’s Day long past, in the early 40’s. My father gave me a ten dollar bill and told me to get something for my Mother. Remember in those days there was a store by the name of Penney’s. Today there is a store by the name of Dollar General. Well I went to a store and bought my Mother $5 worth of candy. My Mother had a sweet tooth. (Maybe that’s where I acquired my sweet tooth.) What for to spend the other $5? Well there was a toy set of a bow and arrows that I thought that anyone would love. And I saw lots of Mother’s Day cards with cupids holding a bow and arrow. Well that gift did not go over at all. In fact, she reminded me of that almost every Mother’s Day that she was alive. Mothers are very often thinking of helping their family, not seeking something for themselves. Your mother deserves something just for her! Maybe it doesn’t have to be a thing. Maybe just good company. Maybe an exciting card game.

SUMMER CAMP STAFF The sun has been shining and the days are warmer so summer can’t be far behind so it’s time to look forward to our annual summer camp for other abled adults and we are seeking some dedicated, caring individuals to serve as camp staff. We need nurses, cooks and camp counselors to nurture and protect our campers so they can have a meaningful experience. Camp Sharing Meadows is a special place because in addition to traditional activities like campfires and swimming, we provide a values retreat where each person becomes more aware of God’s presence in their lives as they are valued for their unique gifts. Our staff find it to be a truly memorable encounter with the realization that they are making a difference in each campers life. Camp runs for 6 consecutive weeks with a new group of campers attending each week. Camp begins on June 8 and runs through July 11. Come for one week or all six! Give our camp coordinator Nick a call at 219-778-2585 or email to [email protected] for more information. Join us for an experience that you will cherish forever. Hidden Winner: Bob & Judy Spevak, Michigan City, IN 46360 IRISH BLESSING May God grant you to be as happy as the flowers in May! GOOD NEWS • PAGE 2 • THOUGHTS FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR VOL. 40 #7 By Kathleen Kelly One of our villagers likes to talk (come to think of it, many of them like to talk but this story is about one in particular) and he has a tendency to begin sentences with “My mother said……..or “My mother told me….or “My mother thinks………..It’s touching to hear him speak because since his mother passed away a few years ago, he has changed his opening line to “When my mother was still living, she said………… His mother was a loving, nurturing person and I’m happy that he continues to honor her by listening and remembering what she said to him. He is a gentle, loving person and his kindness it a credit to his mother and the values she instilled in him. Sometimes I find myself saying something and then realizing that I just quoted my mother. When I was growing up I didn’t always appreciate everything she did for me but as I grow older, I think of her more and more and I am grateful for her unconditional love and sacrifices. My wish for all of you is that your children realize how blessed they are to have you for their mother and that they show you their love and appreciation. Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers! SPRING LUNCHEON The sun was shining, the sky was a vibrant blue and spring was definitely in the air for the 23rd annual Spring Luncheon held last month at the Halls of St. George. The ladies of Share Foundation’s Service League hosted the event and all of our guests would agree that their love and dedication was evident in each aspect of the celebration. The spring flowers and pastel wrapped gifts on each table set the mood as our guests sat down to enjoy entertainment by the villagers, a delicious Father Blaney enjoyed visiting with our The Silent Auction offered many lovely gifts meal and lively conversation with their friends. League Member Mary guests Over one hundred gift baskets were awarded as Balestra delivers a gift prizes and each one was lovingly and artistically designed by League members Judy Gresko and MaryAnn Markovich. Each basket to a happy winner. League member baked cookies, breads, cakes and other treats that were offered for sale and the villagers offered their handmade items for sale. The Silent Auction offered many unique items that were beautifully displayed at the entrance. Many people contributed to make the Luncheon a success and we thank all of them. We’d like to offer our gratitude to the good people at the Duneland Resale Shop in Chesterton who donated $1,500 to the event. God bless them!

Rose & Family • VOL. 40 #7 MEMORIALS Memorials are a special way to honor the memory of a loved one or celebrate a special occasion for ourselves, our family, or our friends. We are grateful for all memorial donations, large and small, that are received but we want to remind you that our policy is that thank you letters and acknowledgement cards are not sent for any memorials received that are less than $10.00 per name. They will be printed in the GOOD NEWS but no cards or letters will be sent. Due to the increasing cost of paper, postage and time to send cards and letters, it is not good stewardship to spend the donations you have entrusted to us to fill mailboxes with mail. Memorial donations of $10.00 or more per name will continue to be handled with a thank you letter, acknowledgement to family and listing in the newsletter. If you do not require a thank you letter, please mark the envelope so that we can code your account and we can save the cost of a letter and use the funds for our programs for other abled people. Thank you for your understanding! MEMORIAL DEADLINE Just a friendly reminder that all memorials are due by the 15th of each month in order to be printed in the following month’s GOOD NEWS. For example, if you want to have a memorial printed in the May issue, your memorial needs to arrive in our office by April 15th. Share Foundation has a deadline to meet as well with our printer and if we do not have your memorial by the 15th of each month, your memorial will be delayed an additional month. Thank you for your understanding!
