In the late 90’s, as I contemplated retirement, I began to look for volunteering opportunities to fill in some of my anticipated leisure time. I wasn’t sure where I wanted to volunteer, but I knew that it had to be the right fit for me. At that time on one of the back pages of the Buffalo News, right next to the comics, they had a volunteer column. It listed available opportunities in Buffalo. One day, I saw Kevin Guest House listed and thought it sounded like a possibility, so I phoned and made an appointment to go in for an interview and a tour of the house. Jenn Ann Burger was the Director at the time. She took me around and explained the duties. I liked what I saw and agreed to become a volunteer. That was sixteen years ago and I hope to be here for at least sixteen more. Initially, I was still teaching and so I would come in on Saturday, sit at the table in the old staff kitchen (now Pam’s office) and correct papers, answer the phone and drink lots of coffee. It was very, very quiet. When I retired in 2000, Jenn Ann said that she would like me to come in during the week. She said I would like it so much more because there would be more activity. I got very nervous because I had no office skills and thought I would have all these secretarial duties. Not so. I started coming in on Wednesdays and truly enjoyed working the desk. The office duties consisted of answering the phone, making reservations, checking people out and working the copy machine. I was a big girl. I could do that. I also worked special events, such as the Niagara Frontier Builders’ Home Show, the Festival of Trees, Affaire of the Heart, Oktoberfest and Open House. I had been researching the history of the house and gotten to know about the Speyser and Beer families who had owned the house from 1904 to 1972. I decided to dress up in turn of the century costume and give guided tours of the house during Open House. It was fun and I became the “ghost” of Ernestine Speyser who with her husband, purchased the house in 1904. Among the many rewards associated with volunteering are the people you encounter along the way. Here, at Kevin Guest House, the many wonderful guests I have had occasion to meet and greet have been a blessing in my life. Their stories and circumstances tug at your heart. I even met the brother of a girl I had known in 1964, while I attended the University of Puerto Rico. Amazing to say the least. Last but not least, the staff and the other volunteers here at the house have been absolutely wonderful to work with. I now work every Friday and I can honestly say that it is one of the most enjoyable days of my week. heart line A Publication of Kevin Guest House — “The little house with a big heart” | Winter 2014 At a glance: Pg 1 Volunteer Reflection: -Roz Annunziato Pg 2 Executive Director’s Corner Pg 3 Welcome to the Board! -Douglas C.

In the late 90’s, as I contemplated retirement, I began to look for volunteering opportunities to fill in some of my anticipated leisure time. I wasn’t sure where I wanted to volunteer, but I knew that it had to be the right fit for me. At that time on one of the back pages of the Buffalo News, right next to the comics, they had a volunteer column. It listed available opportunities in Buffalo. One day, I saw Kevin Guest House listed and thought it sounded like a possibility, so I phoned and made an appointment to go in for an interview and a tour of the house. Jenn Ann Burger was the Director at the time. She took me around and explained the duties. I liked what I saw and agreed to become a volunteer. That was sixteen years ago and I hope to be here for at least sixteen more.

Initially, I was still teaching and so I would come in on Saturday, sit at the table in the old staff kitchen (now Pam’s office) and correct papers, answer the phone and drink lots of coffee. It was very, very quiet.

When I retired in 2000, Jenn Ann said that she would like me to come in during the week. She said I would like it so much more because there would be more activity. I got very nervous because I had no office skills and thought I would have all these secretarial duties. Not so. I started coming in on Wednesdays and truly enjoyed working the desk. The office duties consisted of answering the phone, making reservations, checking people out and working the copy machine. I was a big girl. I could do that.

I also worked special events, such as the Niagara Frontier Builders’ Home Show, the Festival of Trees, Affaire of the Heart, Oktoberfest and Open House. I had been researching the history of the house and gotten to know about the Speyser and Beer families who had owned the house from 1904 to 1972. I decided to dress up in turn of the century costume and give guided tours of the house during Open House. It was fun and I became the “ghost” of Ernestine Speyser who with her husband, purchased the house in 1904.

Among the many rewards associated with volunteering are the people you encounter along the way. Here, at Kevin Guest House, the many wonderful guests I have had occasion to meet and greet have been a blessing in my life. Their stories and circumstances tug at your heart. I even met the brother of a girl I had known in 1964, while I attended the University of Puerto Rico. Amazing to say the least.

Last but not least, the staff and the other volunteers here at the house have been absolutely wonderful to work with. I now work every Friday and I can honestly say that it is one of the most enjoyable days of my week.

ER GREETINGS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!“In Finnish, the month of Tammikuu (January) means the heart of the winter and because the name literally means Oak moon, it can be inferred that the oak tree is the heart of grand forest with many valuable trees as opposed to the typical Arctic forests which are typically pine and spruce.” (Wikipedia)

To me, this is the heir of Kevin Guest House; as mighty as an old Oak tree and as everlasting as the great pine. Our house, built in 1865 of wood and plaster, is a mighty house built to last. Rich in history, Kevin Guest House is one of the last remaining asymmetrical Queen Anne style homes in the Buffalo Niagara Medical campus; but more importantly an anchor in the once residential Fruit Belt neighborhood of Buffalo.

In 2013 we served 1,046 people. 1,046 people leaving their neighborhoods, cities, towns, and many times their states, to have treatments and receive care which is often times life-saving. Buffalo is gaining great respect for its medical knowledge, treat-ment and outcomes, but that’s on the clinical side. The outpatients we serve, whom we call guests, have a great need to be here, just minutes away from the care of their practitioners. The families we serve have just as great a need for our services as the patients, although that need is often times less apparent. These guests are either here to be close to their loved ones in the area hospitals, or here as a caregiver for our guests receiving outpatient care. Either way, it is imperative that all of our guests have the com-fort in knowing their belongings are safe and their lodging comforting. They need us. Those reading who have stayed with us know this; I’m not saying anything you haven’t experienced. But our readers which have never needed our service directly or haven’t experienced the need to travel for medical care, need to know our importance. Please friend us on Facebook (shameless plug,) and share your story of your stay, your family, and most importantly, your need for Kevin Guest House.

2014 will prove to be an exciting year. We will celebrate our 42nd anniversary with a re-dedication ceremony and celebration on July 24th, which will include a special unveiling for all of those who attend. But, equally, if not more exciting, we will begin our Capital Campaign! Yes, after our completion of the feasibility study and many more conversations and information gathering, the vote was a resounding “Yay.”

This means a lot more work for us as we begin to form committees, work out details, and share our challenges and goals to be successful in our $2.5 million campaign to build a great new house that will allow us to better serve those we know and to open our doors to the many others that we have been unable to care for due to the limitations of our 1865 home. We will build with you, our guests, in mind.

Most notably, all suites and bone marrow apartments, will have a private bath, (two in the apartments,) with walk-in shower and bench, and suites will sleep four to six adults comfortably. Did I mention our new home will come complete with an elevator? Yep, an elevator! We will finally be able to open our doors to those individuals with mobility challenges in a warm and caring space. There is so much more to say, but a little mystery for now is a good thing, or so I am told.

However, I will add this one note; we cannot do this alone, or without you, our readers, our families and our friends. Simply put, we will need dollars to build this home – 12,000 square feet of new space, green-friendly, handicap accessible, ability to double those we care for, decrease our wait-list etc. So, I ask you to save your pennies, or even dollars. We will need the help and support of our foundations, corporate friends, volunteers, staff, board and ever so importantly, for our small caring home, you.

Thank you for all you do for us and for the hundreds of guests who stay with us each year. Without you, we would not be able to deliver our vital mission to outpatients and families who desperately need our care and support.

Kevin Guest House, the nation’s first Hospital Hospitality House, offers a safe, warm, secure respite providing comfort, support and affordable accommodations for patients and their loved ones seeking care at area medical facilities.

Kevin Guest House is a member of the Healthcare Hospitality Network.

A special moment of the evening was the presentation of the Kevin Garvey Award to Merle and Janice Whitehead of RealtyUSA, steadfast supporters of Kevin Guest House and our mission. Thank you to our distinguished speaker and friend. Dr. Donald Trump, President & CEO of Roswell Park Cancer Institute for his inspiring words about our partnership and the future of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
