2013 Spring Gala sets New Records
in Attendance & Fundraising
“H
eartstrings In Bloom” has become
a very popular event! The 2013
event was our best attended with 264
guests. It was also Heartstrings Community
Foundation’s® best fundraising effort
netting $90,000 to provide employment
for adults with developmental disabilities!
The lovely Hallbrook Country Club was
decorated as a spring garden with amazing
balloon creations. Many professionals
from The Heartland Qualatex Balloon
Network Chapter donated their time and
talent to create an elaborate floral theme
throughout the building and a fun
backdrop for photos, which were donated
by Photography by SarahMarie.
The social hour and silent auction began at
six o’clock to the cool jazz of the Jose
Samayoa Trio. It was a lively social hour
with bidders competing for the 70 auction
items that included tickets to sporting
events, lovely gift items and sports memorabilia. As the guests were seated for
dinner, the 2013 Heartstrings Video
premiered to encourage business partnerships. Board President, Tom Tadtman,
worked with a talented team to create and
edit the video. His team included Brad
Lang, Shawn Wright, Rick Raglow and
Mike Snell. They all put in many volunteer
hours to produce this wonderful video that
can be viewed on Heartstrings website
www.heartstringscf.org or at the YouTube
link http://youtu.be/QpVw2eFeaRQ.

The presentations of the Key to Independence Awards were made to one of
our long-term business partners New York
Life Advanced Markets Network. Accepting for NYLAMN were Terri Turner and
John Begley (both HCF® board members)
and Patrick Colloton, who was the first
CEO to participate in the HCF Pilot
Project. Each of these people spoke of the
great benefit to their company through
their partnership with Heartstrings
Goody Delivery,® Custom Gift Baskets
and participation in HCF events.
Employees taking time to pose for the camera include

The Individual Key to Independence
Awards were presented to Gayle Packer –
HCF Immediate Past President and Tom
Tadtman – Current HCF Board President.
Both of these individuals generously and
cheerfully advocate for Heartstrings
Community Foundation and the adults
with developmental disabilities that HCF
employs. Everyone is extremely grateful to
both Gayle and Tom for their enthusiastic
spirit and dedication to the HCF mission.
We were very proud that 16 HCF
employees attended the event and enjoyed
socializing with many of their friends from
Goody Delivery and other jobs! Eleven

Beyond

Sees the Value
of Partnering with
Heartstrings
Kat Vorkink, Account Supervisor,
Beyond Marketing
P
artnering with Heartstrings Community Foundation has opened our eyes
to the incredible passion behind their
mission and the need for their organization in the community. While redesigning
their website, we visited On My Own®
several times. In every instance, their
employees were friendly, happy and
exuding a sense of pride that can only
come from such a supportive environment.
We appreciate having had the opportunity
to create a website that better features their
mission and vision.
Choosing Heartstrings to assemble and
deliver holiday gift baskets to our clients
last year made an immediate impact. Some
clients made a point to express their
appreciation for choosing such a thoughtful gift from an organization that does so
much for the community. It was fun to
visit the gift basket “shop” and pick out
the goodies and wrapping. We plan to do
it again this year!
If you are truly looking to make a difference in your community, we highly
recommend partnering with Heartstrings
Community Foundation!

H
appy Spring to all of our dedicated Heartstring’s
supporters and donors! We are so excited about
all of our great happenings at all three stores! We have
recently welcomed two new managers to the retail team
– Mary Uhl at Sacks on Santa Fe in downtown Overland
Park and Belinda Currie at our 95th and Antioch
location, A New Look. They both have done a fantastic
job of decorating the stores and welcoming customers.
Stop by anytime for a meet and greet with them. Deb
McQuay, manager of On My Own, just celebrated her
third year with HCF. We have a great team to help you
with all of your shopping needs.
Heartstrings has begun partnering with The Swapping
Company. The Swapping Company is a great way to
trade in some of your consignment-worthy clothing
while helping out HCF. Jen Taylor founded The
Swapping Company as a way to give back to various
non-profits after her daughter was diagnosed with
leukemia and her family benefitted from a non-profit.
On May 9 we co-hosted a Ladies’ Night Out Celebration
with The Swapping Company in honor of the first
anniversary of A New Look. They will also be accompa- The Swapping Company owner, Jen, explains the concept to customers.
nying HCF with the monthly Local Life Event Night
(formally known as Third Fridays) in downtown Overland Park at our Sacks on Santa Fe
store. Bring your consignment-worthy clothing to donate and enjoy some pampering
by various vendors provided by The Swapping Company.
As you are doing some spring-cleaning, think of Heartstrings Community Foundation
to donate your gently used clothing, home accessories and furniture. We are thrilled
to have all of these wonderful opportunities for you this summer, and we look forward
to seeing you at the stores!!

KanCare continues to be a Hot Topic –
Make sure your voice is being heard
A
s of this writing, the Kansas Legislature is in an extended wrap-up
session with no final word on whether
non-medical long-term services for I/DD
will be included or carved out of KanCare.
On Wednesday, May 8, eight Heartstrings
employees and two staff attended Push
Day in Topeka, along with over 1,000
others from around the state, to further
educate the legislature and the executive
branch on how our services work now
and why we believe including them in the
medical model of insurance companies is
not in our best interest.
There still have not been direct or clear
answers to several questions.
• What benefits are expected from
Managed Care Organizations (MCO’s)
administering Medicaid funds?
• How can money be saved by contracting
very large for-profit insurance companies to handle personal services that
are not categorized as medical needs?
• Why is the State of Kansas declining the
opportunity to receive additional federal
Medicaid funding that could help relieve
the waiting list?
• How do the MCO’s expect to get
more people with I/DD competitively
employed which was stated as a goal?
• How will they keep current services
the same while saving money?
• How will the MCO’s give people
more choice?
By the time you read this article, the
session will be over but you can still voice

Blake and Eric greeted the Governor upon his return from lunch
your thoughts and opinions and questions
to the legislators and the Governor before
the next regular session in January 2014.
There are quite a few legislators that are in
favor of a carve-out of non-medical I/DD
services, even though it is an uphill battle.
Thank you to all of you who have been

Many Options Available for Charitable Giving to Help
Support Heartstrings
F
or over a decade, Heartstrings
Community Foundation has been
dramatically improving lives in Johnson
County. Over one hundred families have
been directly and personally impacted by
HCF. If we consider the growth of Heartstrings Goody Delivery, which now serves
more than 80 businesses, it is obvious that
Heartstrings’ employees and staff have
made a significant impression on thousands of people in our community.
A person who has experienced a lifechanging event often wishes for the
opportunity to make that experience
possible for others. It is possible for you
to impact future generations by planning
your gift to insure the future of your
favorite charity (hopefully, Heartstrings
Community Foundation). Remember, as
Bob Hope once said, “If you haven’t any
charity in your heart, you have the worst
kind of heart trouble.”
Planning options to consider:
• Asset Bequests are probably the simplest
of planned gifts to a charity by including
the charity as a beneficiary in the will. A
donor can designate property, a specific
amount of money or a percent of the
residue.
• Charitable Gift Annuities (CGA) are
agreements between a donor who makes
a gift of cash or property and a charity
who agrees to make fixed payments to
the donor for life in exchange for the gift.
• A Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) a
donor transfers cash or property to the
CRT, which is a tax-exempt trust that
can sell the property without paying
capital gains tax. The CRT makes
payments for a lifetime or term of
years and then distributes the remainder
to charity.
• A Charitable Lead Trust (CLT) is a
taxable trust. A donor who wants to give
a gift to a charity for a period and pay as
little gift or estate tax as possible may
select this tool. Each year the CLT
reports its income and takes a deduction
for the amount it distributes to charity.
Any excess is subject to tax.
• Life Estate Reserved is a way a donor can
execute a deed transferring a house or
10
•
farm to a charity. In the deed, the donor
retains a “Life estate” that allows the
donor to occupy the property for life.
The donor agrees to be responsible for
the maintenance, insurance and taxes on
the property and receives an income tax
deduction for the remainder value of
the property.
• A Pooled Income Fund (PIF) allows a
donor, who wishes to leave property to a
charity but also needs to supplement his/
her income, to give cash or property to
the charity. The charity issues shares of
its pooled income fund to the donor.
The donor also receives income tax

deduction for the present value of
the remainder interest at the donor’s
death.
• A Bargain Sale benefits a donor who has
an interest in supporting a charity but
cannot afford to gift an entire property.
The charity purchases the property at a
bargain price or agrees to accept the
donor’s mortgaged property. The donor
receives a charitable deduction for the
difference between the fair market value
of the property transferred and the cash
received in the bargain sales.
Planning charitable giving requires
assistance by professional estate planners.

From The Heart Of The Executive Director
F
In thinking about all this, the
thought that keeps coming to
mind is I am not promised
tomorrow so make every
minute count; don’t waste time
or money. Make sure that where
I am spending my time and money
is making a difference in people’s lives.
ifteen years ago I made a career change because of
personal frustration…evaluated my life and the impact
I was making in other lives and felt that I had gone as far a
s I could go. I found myself just doing a job and maintaining;
this was not satisfying for me. My motto has always been
“Life is too short. We spend more time at work than with
our loved ones so we need to enjoy what we are doing.” With
the encouragement and support of my husband, I went out
on a limb and started doing something that was totally
different but challenging and fun. After about two years a
friend of mine, Sally Helvey, introduced me to Anne Hull.
Long story short, I made another career change. I have
been working at Heartstrings Community Foundation
since September 4, 2001.
Earlier I said that Heartstrings is my dream job.
During this evaluation process, I have realized that Heartstrings is not a dream anymore; it is an enjoyable part of
my life. Yes, I still have dreams; and one of those dreams is
to be instrumental in Heartstrings growth. The first step in
that process is to expand to the Missouri side and then . . .
nationally, offering a unique employment opportunity to
adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities all over
the world.
My position at Heartstrings is not only challenging and
fun; but, with the help of a great team, we are making a
difference in many peoples’ lives. We are able to offer a
service that without Heartstrings would not be offered to
the staff, employees and the community. If you have been
a supporter of Heartstrings for a while you have probably
heard me say this before…Heartstrings is my dream job!
So this is where you come in…What will be your legacy?
Where are you spending your time and money? Are you
making a difference in people’s lives? Do you want to?
Events in my life over the last year have given me reason to
think about what and how I am doing, where I have been and
where I want to go? What will be my legacy I leave behind?
What will my Eulogy say?
Legacy: What is a legacy? A gift by will especially of money
or their personal property.
Eulogy: What is a Eulogy? A commendatory oration
or writing especially in honor of one deceased.
Good News…you can. Heartstrings is always looking
for people to volunteer their time, donate their personal
property and donate financially. You can make a difference
in people’s lives by contributing to Heartstrings Community
Foundation.
If you are interested in making Heartstrings a part of your
Legacy, give me a call at 913-649-5700. I would be glad to
discuss with you ways you can make a difference.

“Head ‘Em Up!
Move ‘Em Out!”
Heartstrings has moved
Mountain Movers hearts!
H
eartstrings Community Foundation is
very grateful to Valie Robbins and Katy
Birchfield for planning and hosting the
2nd Annual Heartstrings Trail Ride. This
year’s ride will be Saturday, September 28, at
the adjoining beautiful Missouri Century farms
of Birchfield and Robbins Families, located at
296 N.E. HWY AA, Kingsville, MO 64061.
The gates open at 9 a.m. and the ride begins at
10 a.m. The fabulous Summit Hickory Pit
Barbeque will again generously donate lunch.
There will also be prizes, a raffle and wonderful
items for sale. Many of us loved the sterling
commemorative bracelets last year and look
forward to a new charm for this year’s event!
Even if you don’t ride, it is a lovely lunch in the
country with fun friends. Register by September
16th at www.heartstringscf.org or call Valie
at 816-590-3215.
Big
or small,
we move
it all!
Call Dennis for your moving needs.
