Millions of people worldwide volunteer, giving back is a great way to feel like you belong. The Chippewa Valley individuals, community groups, and businesses all play vital roles in keeping our community vibrant. The Aging & Disability Resource Center is an organization that holds our volunteers on the highest of esteem! With 10 programs, run by nearly 600 volunteers annually, in 1 year alone we have seen nearly 12,500 hours given to people in our Chippewa Valley community, and we are simply blown away. The generosity, and sheer will of those who give their time, talent, voice and many resources to volunteering on our board, sub committees, nutrition, healthy aging, dementia, and many more programs deserve the largest of applause. It would take several pages of this newsletter to list every name of those who volunteer, serving this community. Please join the ADRC staff on Facebook the week of April 15-21, 2018 when we will be posting testimonials from volunteers and participants of our volunteer service, and thank you’ s to our dedicated group of volunteers.

Employee Spotlight ! Jennifer Speckien, ADRC Director I graduated from UW-Eau Claire with a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work and I’m a Certified Social Worker in the State of Wisconsin. Prior to coming to work at Eau Claire County, I worked in the Sheboygan and Manitowoc areas in long-term care. Being from Eau Claire originally, I knew that I would eventually want to come back to this area when the right opportunity presented. In 2008, I started working at the ADRC of Eau Claire County as the ADRC Supervisor. I was in that position for 5 years and then became the ADRC Director in 2013. My favorite part of the job as the ADRC Director is being able to make a positive impact on our community. The Eau Claire community is important to me and I want to do what I can to make sure this continues to be a great place for older adults and adults with disabilities to live and thrive. My favorite part about working at the ADRC is the amazing team of staff that we have. All of the individuals that work at the ADRC care deeply about the mission of the agency and work cohesively to make sure we are doing what we can to meet that mission. Everyone is always willing to help out, to problem solve and resilient when it comes to change (it happens a lot around here!). There are many challenges that are part of the ADRC Director job but the biggest is managing the demand for our services within a fixed budget. We have watched our department grow significantly since we opened 10 years ago. Keeping up with this growth and demand has required a high level of creativity and commitment to continual process improvement to ensure we are doing things as efficiently and effectively as possible. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have two children - ages 7 and 5 - who keep me very busy! One of my hobbies is cake decorating. I started cake decorating about 7 years ago and it has become one of my favorite ways to de-stress. I also enjoy golfing with my husband and spending time on the lake.

National Volunteer Appreciation Week April 15 - 22
Why do you volunteer ! Quotes from Meal on Wheels program volunteers Norm says “We have people who need help, I like delivering and I can deliver so I do.” Sheila says “ She has learned so much about Eau Claire by delivering Meals on Wheels.” Quotes from ADRC Board or Subcommittee members “I serve on the ADRC board to give back to a community that’s been my home for twenty-eight years. My fellow board members and the ADRC staff are so passionate and hardworking that it’s fun to work alongside them.” Kathie “So many wonderful people stepped in to help our family when we were caregiving for my mother, it is an honor to volunteer now in hopes of easing the burden for others.” Mary “I retired two years ago and was not sure what I was going to do because I have no interest in the "hobby arena". Reflecting on my need to be happy, productive, manage my time and give back to the community I made the decision to volunteer. The decision has provided me an avenue to facilitate opportunities and carry out my sense of purpose. I continually gain a new perspective listening and communicating to other volunteers. I believe my input as an ADRC subcommittee member is respected and provides an opportunity to better the welfare of our senior community. In closing, volunteering freely of my time provides me with a sense of satisfaction as it not only helps me but the people in the community I directly and indirectly touch.” Cathy Thank you Beaver Creek Quilters for the beautiful handmade placemats. Your group listened for our plea for more placemats and came through. Thank you for helping us celebrate those Meals on Wheels birthdays. Thank you Matt Snider for the very generous memorial donation in honor Marlys Gynnild. Thank You Stella Williams for wonderful Valentine cards.

Living Well with Alzheimer’s By Judy Fuhrer
Lacey (Part 2) Hello everyone! It is great to be with you this month! I am writing this from sunny Florida where we are spending a few months. In a previous article I mentioned the joy and laughter brought to my husband and myself by our puppy Lacey. She is now eleven months old and really likes it here where it is warm and many people have dogs. Several are in our neighborhood and Lacey has become friends with many of them. Also, I am finding it a lot easier to meet and interact with people when you both have a dog. Most people walk their dogs every Of course, conversation is always easier day so it gives me an opportunity to start a when I am conversation. with Lacey as she eagerly Striking up a conversation with someone I didn’t know well had never introduces been a problem for me. Now, with increasing memory problems, I find herself and it more difficult. What has helped me however is making a list of quickly “openers”. Openers are questions I can ask, such as “Where are you becomes the from”? Or “Have you lived her long”? I also formulate answers that I topic of might use if similar questions are asked of me. I found that this strategy conversation! /DFH\ has given me confidence when meeting new people.
