Dear Neighbors and Friends,

It has been my distinct pleasure to help meet the human service needs of our area by serving as a Community Chest allocations volunteer and then a board member over the past eight years. Although there have been many exciting and impressive changes at the Chest during this time, the practice of raising and distributing funds for residents in need remains the heart and soul of the organization. I am so pleased to let you know that, during the 2007 – 2008 campaign year, we were able to distribute over a half million dollars to non-profit agencies and programs that serve our community.

We also received our first significant donor gifts for the Chest’s new field of interest funds, which were established in 2007 to target specific areas of support both within and outside of our traditional human service lens. We are most grateful to three generous community members who helped us launch this new endeavor by making significant contributions to educational scholarships, camp scholarships and to the environment.

It was a busy year in the fundraising area as well for the staff and board as we hosted an online auction and live gala event, and a triathlon relay race. Both events were a lot of fun, raised additional funds for our campaign and special funds and involved hundreds of volunteers and participants. We are fortunate to have so many Community Chest supporters who give so much of themselves for the common good. My deepest thanks to each of you.

Although my tenure on the board is now complete, the Chest will always hold special significance for me because it enabled me to learn about and assist so many well-deserving organizations. If you have ever considered volunteering at the local level, the Community Chest is a great place to begin. Your support – both financially and through volunteerism – will be truly appreciated by the entire community.

Best regards,

Amy Jane NewellPresident

The Community Chest annual triathlon on June 1st was a fun relay race involving 32 teams

from Concord, Carlisle and Maynard. Everyone pitched in this year to make the FUNdraiser a great success as it was a logistical challenge in many ways. With the closing of Flint’s Bridge on Monument Street just two weeks prior to the June 1st event and the National Park Service discouraging race spectators from using the North Bridge, the route was modified and participants had to plan new winning strategies. However, the weather cooperated and the relay race went off without a hitch, resulting in all teams crossing the finishing line and contributing financially to human services in Concord, Carlisle and Maynard.

More than $26,000 was raised for local need through the efforts of more than 200 race participants and volunteers. The golden paddle top prize, awarded for raising over $6,000, was presented to the Miracles team – for the second year in a row!

Other winning teams included:• Fastest women’s team – Ms. Quitos• Fastest men’s team – Mosquitos• Fastest mixed team – Concord Outfitters• Fastest youth team – Mosquito Magnets• Fastest corporate team – SolidWorks Competitive• Fastest agency – Gaining Ground

The Community Chest would like to thank Tom Beardsley, historic site manager at the Old Manse, for granting full use of the beautiful grounds and boat dock of this historic property for the race as well as photographer Jim Coutre who took dozens of Challenge photos (available at www.coutrephoto.com). Thanks also go out to all the participants, volunteers and sponsors who made the event a success.

There’s nothing retiring about seniors in Concord and Carlisle. With so many new programs

and services cropping up in the area, seniors looking to stay busy, healthy and involved can choose from a growing list of activities and resources. And with financial assistance from the Community Chest, local agencies and volunteers work hard to identify and meet the needs of this fast growing population so that seniors do not have to travel far for services.

The Concord Council on Aging’s new Outreach Counselor, whose position is partially funded by the Community Chest, enjoys visiting local seniors who may be suffering from self-neglect, dementia or illness. “The best part of my job is meeting seniors in their homes and making them aware of services,” said Eileen Ralske, Concord COA outreach counselor. “I feel I’m contributing somehow to the quality of their lives.” The Concord COA has also launched the Concord on Call program that matches seniors with volunteers for doctor visits. The volunteers provide transportation and help in remembering any medical

advice or information given during the visit. The Safe Meds at Home program dispatches trained volunteers to help seniors organize medication, a service that is not available in most Massachusetts towns.

There is also a large increase in services for seniors in Carlisle – the third fastest growing elder population (by percentage) in the state. With 17 percent of Carlisle residents over sixty, it is challenging to find meeting space for programs, but the Carlisle COA is creative. Beginning in September, the Carlisle COA and Minuteman Senior Services are partnering to offer a Congregate Meals

senior luncheon which will be served by Carlisle volunteers at local churches and will enable seniors to enjoy eating freshly prepared food and visiting with friends while listening to educational programs. Additional new programs include a Pre-retirement Information series for residents aged 45-60 and the Healthy Woman series. “Seniors seem to really like social, cultural, and health and fitness programs that they can receive right here in Carlisle,” said Kathy Mull, Carlisle COA executive director.

If seniors need services that are not available where they live, they need only look at the state level for additional programs such as free Information and Referral, Meals-on-Wheels, Healthy Aging tips and information for seniors, SHINE Health Benefits Counseling, and an abundance of critical Home Care and Caregiver Support Services and Resources. Joan Butler, executive director of Minuteman Senior Services, wants seniors to know that “it is a myth that services are only available

to low income families. All seniors and caregivers have equal access to important resources across Massachusetts through our agency.”

While Minuteman Senior Services focuses on helping seniors age in their own homes and communities and supporting caregivers in their challenging roles, the COAs are more oriented toward programs and outreach services. But these critical agencies always work in tandem to ensure seniors are safe and healthy by sharing information via phone calls and quarterly meetings. The Community Chest is proud to provide annual financial support to these local agencies (as well as Cooperative Elder Services and FISH) that offer senior services. Through these caring organizations, seniors can enjoy a flourishing set of activities, programs and events right in their local communities.

Senior Programs in Abundance

We are very fortunate that (the Chest) believes local community agency funding is a valuable tool in reaching out directly to the community members.Kathy Mull, Director, Carlisle Council on Aging

The Concord-Carlisle Community Chest gratefully acknowledges the following donors and sponsors whose generosity enables us to support and financially empower more than 35 human service organizations and programs.

Thank you for your ongoing generosity!

Day of giving Celebrates Agencies

The Community Chest was pleased to receive three substantial donations this year for the newly created Field of Interest funds – two for local scholarships and one for the environment. These generous donors were interested in going beyond the Chest’s annual fund to help support other areas of need.

The initial contributions have helped launch a new and important way to give back to the community. For example, scholarships were given to children from the Boston Metco program to attend summer camp at Concord Recreation. Additionally, children who were unable to afford Concord Youth Theatre’s programs were granted scholarships. And new sneakers were purchased for families in need.

With a minimum donation of $10,000, contributions that target scholarships, elderly, youth, arts, the environment and other areas of donor interest, are put to good use over the course of three years. Field of Interest funds are donor driven but administered by an advisory group and the Chest board is ultimately responsible for making grants. An annual fee of 1.5% is applied to each fund, consistent with other community foundation fees.

On June 12, 2008 at the Concord Town House, the Concord-Carlisle Community Chest

awarded $517,000 to 35 human service programs from the 2007-2008 annual campaign season. The morning included introductions by the president of the board and the election of five new Chest board members and four new overseers.

Every two years, the Community Chest hosts a festive auction evening where friends and neighbors gather to socialize, dine and bid on many extraordinary items

and services. This year, an online auction of more than 100 items was added to the fun so that more people could participate for three weeks prior to the gala event.

Most of the auction items – online, silent or live - were generously donated by residents and local businesses, helping to make the event a financial success. There were exotic vacations, fine art by local artists, prime sports and entertainment tickets, spa treatments and many unique house and garden services.

The April 1st gala evening had a “Wheel of Philanthropy” theme complete with a game-show style spinning wheel where prizes were won. Participants enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres while bidding on dozens of silent auction items. Ultimately, a four-course dinner was served and the live auction got underway with auctioneer Douglas Stinson at the wheel. By the end of the evening, more than $130,000 was raised for the Chest’s Millennium fund and new field of interest funds.

Local businesses play a vital role in supporting local need when they donate to human services through the Community Chest. Since 1993, Concord Hillside

Medical Associates (CHMA), a practice of Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates, has been a generous Chest sponsor. But its commitment to the town of Concord goes much deeper. “There is a remarkable health infrastructure and variety of human services in the Concord area,” said Ronald Kwon, CHMA Medical Director. “And we are fully committed to go-ing beyond basic medical care to being an integral part of this community’s well being.”

CHMA is a nonprofit medical practice that began as a cottage industry of internists and pediatricians in the early 1980’s. Over the years, it has added satellite offices in Harvard and Sudbury, and today serves 33,000 patients annually. From the beginning, there has been a tradition of giving back. “The health of the community is critical to CHMA and there is a direct correlation with what the Chest does,” said Dr. Kwon. The ability to support several organizations through a single funding source is a distinct benefit. “Concord Hillside gives annually because we know our money is used well through the Community Chest,” added Bruce Walton, CHMA Practice Administrator.

Sponsors like CHMA positively impact the wellness of resi-dents when contributions are made through the Chest’s annu-al campaign. The Chest is very appreciative of all the financial and gift-in-kind support from local businesses.

Healthy business PartnershipsWe hope that our new initiative with the Gleason Public Library (and funding from the Community Chest) will assist us in identifying and serving the elder-at-risk population and those who are homebound.Kathy Mull, Director, Carlisle Council on Aging

The 2008 Concord-Carlisle Community Chest Distinguished Volunteer

Service Award was awarded to five young individuals in May who have significantly committed to volunteerism in the area of human services. The Board of Directors of the Concord-Carlisle Community Chest congratulates the following teens for giving back:

Rebecca Flint (above left) for volunteering with the therapeutic horseback riding program at the Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports program; Isabel Zellmann-Rohrer (above middle) for working 160 hours at Emerson Hospital on the Transport Team and in the Community Services Office;

Nina Andrews for participating in several youth programs through First Parish Church including service trips to Transylvania, Council on Aging work days, and fundraising for Katrina victims; William Cavanagh for volunteering over 500 hours with CCTV and consistently helping to keep things running smoothly at the station; and David Rayson (above right) for redesigning the CCHS 2volunteer website and for providing computer tutoring to Council on Aging seniors.

These students have made significant contributions to Concord or Carlisle and the Community Chest commends their selflessness and generosity.
