“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”

- EpicurusGreek philosopher (341 BC - 270 BC)

From the OGC

As we close another fi scal year and report on the adventures we engaged in this past year it is an excellent opportunity to weigh our overall effectiveness and resemblance to our mission statement. Although I am proud of the numerous opportunities we have created for people with intellectual disabilities and am inspired by the people that have made this happen, I recognize the challenges that we have yet to face and am hopeful as I look toward the future.

Because of the fortitude of our volunteers, board members and professional staff members, Orange Grove is weathering the economic storms. Although a bit battered by the market downturn, we have closed ranks and have maintained a solid organization with a continued focus on best practices in our fi eld. Everyone is truly working harder than ever before as we have avoided fi lling many of the positions that have opened up throughout the year.

We have worked especially hard to engage a wide network of partners this year to bring diverse perspectives to the services and opportunities that we bring to people with intellectual disabilities. Our partnerships with businesses, industries, governments, and private interest groups have broadened once again to create some truly unique potential for the people we serve. Our health care initiatives are advancing with the expansion of dental services and the additional nurse practitioner in our health clinic. The new document destruction station that is soon to begin operation is already assisting us in forging national relationships and the complete restoration of our recycling program has offered new jobs and training experiences. The culmination of the autism study which our capital campaign funded will undoubtedly be the catalyst for a completely new and innovative resource approach for people in Hamilton County with autism. Although the Orange Grove DNA will undoubt-edly be in every aspect of this new autism initiative, Orange Grove will be but one link in a chain of many credible organizations partnering to meet the vigorous needs of this population.

In preparation for this next fi scal year, our board of directors has already convened a very productive strategic planning session which resulted in another realistic and dynamic paradigm for Orange Grove. I challenge you to spend time reviewing and asking questions about this plan. You may view it by visiting our website or by requesting a hard copy. You will see many examples of the spirit of innovation that Orange Grove is known for and the practicality which has caused us to provide the most cost effi cient community service in Tennessee.

I cannot adequately express my appreciation to and admiration for the volunteers and employees of Orange Grove. In the demanding profes-sion of community services to people with intellectual disabilities, it seems as though their exceptional service has come to be expected, as if it is just the daily routine, but there is nothing routine about their commitment and professionalism. I am honored to work with such a tremen-dous body of professionals who perform the impossible every day and never expect the spotlight that they so richly deserve.

Board Director From the OGC

It has been a unique pleasure to serve Orange Grove as board president for the past two years. Orange Grove is one of those rare community organizations that embraces and encourages longevity in its board and management structure. I do not know how we could maintain our steady progression of improvements to the many service sectors Orange Grove supplies without the wisdom and experience of our seasoned directors.

Orange Grove also deliberately remains very close to the people served by ensuring that a strong contingency of representation exists on the governing body. The perfect mixture of parents, community leaders and newly recruited professionals make up a cohesive body that remains consistent with the mission state-ment and creates the momentum necessary for success.

In spite of the historic economic downturn that hit our state at the midpoint of this fi scal year, Orange Grove has remained remarkably strong. Unlike other organizations that overextended themselves, Orange Grove has taken a measured approach to every endeavor with the focus be-ing to maintain the core services that are fundamentally necessary for the health and vitality of the people we serve.

As we close out our fi scal year, the Commissioner for Finance and Administration, Dave Goetz, has announced that for the fi rst time in Tennessee’s history, our state has recorded 12 straight months of tax revenue shortfalls. For the 2008-2009 budget year, state tax revenue was about $1.2 billion less than the budgeted estimate. We are truly living in historic times and no one knows what lies ahead. Nevertheless, I am optimistic when it comes to Orange Grove.

Orange Grove was serving people with intellectual disabilities when there were no funding mechanisms available. In 1953, our champions had a vision and chased the dream of the Orange Grove that exists today. They lead the way when governmental

support for our population was not even a consideration. I know we will survive these challenges and will prove our resiliency.

I am excited about the leadership that our new board president, Dillard Edge-mon (far left) will bring in the next two fi scal years and am eager to partner

with him in meeting his initiatives.

Orange Grove Center is proud to recognize...

Virginia Wade Farmeras this year’s “Person of the Year.”

Virginia is a native of Pikeville, TN, and joined the Orange Grove family as a day student in 1975.

In 1981, Virginia entered the ICF residential program at Forrest Avenue, and 1986, she transferred from ICF to the HCBS Waiver program, and moved to the Vine Street home. After several moves within the residential program, she now resides at the Wilcox home.

Virginia is an employee of the Walter A. Lerch Industrial Training Center. She has represented OGC in several extracurricular activities, including the Orange Grove Dancers, Special Olympics, Double G Camp, Very Special Arts Festival, and Go!Fest. Virginia’s family, brother, Tom, and her three nephews, Wade, Ben, and Tollett, are a very important part of her life.

“Orange Grove has meant a wonderul opportunity for Virginia and our family,” said her brother, Tom.

Her dance instructor, Ann Shea, summarized Virginia and her spirit best.

“She has incredible energy, and delights in being the center of attention. She is always received warmly by audiences,” Shea said.

“Her spirit and soul are that of a performance artist, and she is comfortable express-ing herself to an audience.”
