From Our Chief Executive Officer
Anne Rieck McFarland Chief Executive Officer There are many feelings that I have experienced as we have become LifeScape. One of the most constant and overwhelming of those feelings is gratitude. Gratitude is defined as the quality of being thankful—a readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. My sense of gratitude is high because of the generosity and care of so many who support and service our mission in various ways:
• Our 1100 Staff are paramount to serving our mission and creating pathways in supporting the children and adults we work with gain knowledge and skills. They are our #1 asset and go above because they love their work and do it well.
• Our 1600+ Volunteers come in many forms: Board
members, Ambassadors, companions, neighbors, friends and give of their time, talents and treasures. They provide guidance, share expertise, help complete projects and are friends and mentors to many!
• Our 3000+ Donors give unselfishly because they want the
children and adults we work with to have good, meaningful and productive lives. Our donors touch all parts of the organization and have a direct effect on the services we provide: education, hospital, job training, adult day services, residential services, therapies, rehabilitation.
• Our LifeScape Ambassadors are advocates and fund
raisers. This group has impacted the children and adults directly is so many positive ways…such as their recent gift of $100,000 to support therapy equipment, household needs, school curriculum, and much more.
• Our Community and State see the potential of all and are
New PREMIER Center receives high marks for accessibility Our world today consists of different types of entertainment. Whether it is a sports game or a concert, I know that I enjoy both of these events, and I can experience them in Sioux Falls at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Columnist Center. I met with Rick Huffman, Samantha Griebel Director of Sales and Public Relations at the PREMIER Center, and Colleen Moran, Assistant City Attorney for Sioux Falls, for a tour of the PREMIER Center to learn more about the center and see how accessible it is for people with disabilities. I can park in the accessible parking throughout each of the parking lots at the PREMIER Center, from the lots close to the front entrance, to the lots farther away from the building. There are drop off and pick up zones in front of the building. If I am planning on going to a special event, I can call ahead and get VIP accessible parking at the front entrance. There is accessible seating on every level of the PREMIER Center. I can purchase tickets at all price levels for accessible seating through Ticketmaster online at www.ticketmaster.com, go to the KELOLAND Box Office, or call (toll free) at 800-7453000. If I want to experience an event up-close, I will have to pay the higher ticket price. I can get a group together and go to an event, and they will accommodate for us. I need to make sure that I purchase tickets as soon as possible, because they have had the accessible seating sell out. The PREMIER Center has wayfaring signage that indicates where the accessible seating areas are located, or there are maps that I can use to find them. I can also ask any of the staff where the accessible seating areas are located. They have two suites and two box seating areas that are accessible and rented out.
I can get assistance in many areas, such as elevator attendants, sign language interpreters, visual impairment seating, and listening devices. If I need special accommodations, I need to call 72 hours ahead to have the PREMIER Center staff prepared. I am able to have three guests sit with me in the wheelchair accessible seating areas. I can use one of four elevators to go from each floor. During an event, there are staff that work in the elevators, and help people get to the level that they want. They

There are concession counters and mobile carts on all levels that sell a variety of food from Papa John’s Pizza, homemade burgers, hot dogs, brats, wraps, salads, popcorn, chips, candy, ice cream, beverages, and more. They employ people with disabilities and have some opportunities available now. I am glad that Sioux Falls has an event center that is accessible to everyone and is willing to make accommodations for people with all types of disabilities. This enables everyone to enjoy a concert or sporting event with their family and friends. I appreciate the opportunity I had to tour the event center and to be aware of all of the opportunities available for everyone to enjoy entertainment in Sioux Falls. –Samantha Griebel grew up in Sioux Falls, and receives support through LifeScape.

opening doors for friendships and jobs, volunteer service, and participation in decisions that make our community and state more accessible and inclusive.
Gratitude is also about returning kindness. LifeScape has been so fortunate to be surrounded by dedicated, caring people – those who we support and their families, employees, volunteers, Board members, donors, and community partners – who are constantly giving to us. We strongly encourage our employees and the people we support to give back to the community. We do this in a variety of ways – volunteering in the community; participating in school and community groups; serving on Boards and Chamber committees … the list goes on. We must always be looking for ways to contribute to our community and our state. If you know of a need that we could help fulfill by volunteering our time and talents, please don’t hesitate to ask. Have a great summer! Stop in some time if you are in the neighborhood!

On a beautiful day in May, adults supported in the North Louise program were very honored to host volunteers from their neighbors at Esurance. They spent the day together preparing and planting the on-site raised gardens, and also enjoyed a picnic on their beautiful back patio. Denise Ford (right) is shown here with an Esurance volunteer. Besides flowers and vegetables, many friendships were planted. We hope to have them back later in the summer to see the blooming glory of their labors!

the Journey/Summer 2015
LifeScape Ambassadors Fund $100,000 in Wish List items! The LifeScape Ambassadors have long provided the meaningful extras for the adults and children supported through LifeScape programs. Christmas gifts, winter coats, parties, cookie days, and more have been provided directly by Ambassadors members. To help provide the more costly items, the Ambassadors hold several fundraisers—MallWalk, Rada knives sales, the Fall Social, and TableScapes. Having raised funds throughout the year, Ambassadors then invite staff members to compile a wish list of purchases that would aid in care, therapy, learning, greater independence or life enrichment. That list is submitted to the Ambassadors who then select a variety of projects to fund. Just a few items on this year’s list of granted requests were bus passes for people to get
to jobs; zoo, water park and science center passes; a bathing system for adults; Special Olympics funding; therapy equipment; stethoscopes; a seating system for children with high medical needs; and scholarships for horse therapy and adaptive aquatics. A mixed ability theatre production next January will also be funded by the Ambassadors. Jeanelle Holmes has chaired the Wish List Disbursement Committee for many years. “I love hearing how these requests make a difference for people,” says Jeanelle. For those who like the idea of the Wish List, and would like to give a specific item to LifeScape, check the Wish List on the back page. Your gift would make an immediate difference to children and adults supported by LifeScape.
Tablescapes raises $15,000 for children and adults! Twenty-eight beautiful tables graced the Hilton Garden on June 6 for the 10th Annual Ambassadors’ TableScapes event. The table hosts got creative with theme categories Celebrations, Child-Inspired, Favorite Time & Place, Seasonal, and Most Creative. Attendees voted for the winners in each category, and an overall best table was voted on by two guest judges, Julie Grossman and Vanie Hariri. Kaitlyn Blomker won the “Hostess with the Mostess” Award for her table titled “The Called,” which honored first responders.
From the Foundation
DeLyle and Wendy Kruger with their son, Blake.
Guest speakers Wendy and DeLyle Kruger inspired the group by sharing about their son, Blake, and the very difficult decision to enroll him in the residential program at LifeScape two years ago. Fourteen-yearold Blake has developmental delays and vison impairment. He is the oldest of their three children. While it was heartbreaking to have him live away from them, they now know that the 24-hour expert care is exactly what he needs to thrive. “He smiles more now, he is calmer, and he is becoming more independent,” said DeLyle. “We know he is being cared for by a full staff of compassionate people who really care about him,” added Wendy. Instead of fear, Blake’s family now has hope for his future. Providing hope is why the Ambassadors partner with LifeScape. By the end of the morning, a net of $15,000 had been raised for LifeScape. Funds were raised through a silent auction of art created by children in the LifeScape Specialty School, a “Wine Grab,” and a raffle sponsored by Gunderson’s Jewelers. Marietta Soukup won the first prize, a $1000 gift certificate to Gunderson’s. Second prize, a $500 certificate, was won by Pat Erpenbach. Sponsors were Citi, Interstate Office Products, and South Dakota Dairy Queen, as well as Gunderson’s.

Jessica B. Wells Foundation President The needs of people supported by LifeScape continue to become more complex. Medical advances add longevity and improved quality of life. Social and moral conscience strengthen the quality of care available. And everyone deserves opportunities, for meaningful lives. All of these factors increase the complexity of the services we provide. They are also catalysts for constant improvement in the delivery of care. For LifeScape, this means we monitor quality, achieve continued accreditation, work with our state partners and other stakeholders to craft the best environment, opportunities, and care possible for the people we support. For the LifeScape Foundation, this means we listen closely to those changing needs, communicate with donors and follow through with the support that makes a difference in the lives of people served. In this issue of the Journey, you’ll find ways we also embrace community and how communities have embraced our mission. When I recently spoke at the South Dakota Elks Association Spring Workshop, John T. Traynor, Past Grand Exalted Ruler, reminded the audience to strengthen the core and that the South Dakota Elks elevate our communities by caring and sharing. Donors through individual gifts, estate gifts, memorials, service clubs, corporate support, and many other ways have been doing just that – taking care of the core. We rely on this support to meet the changing, complex needs of the people served by LifeScape, support program growth and provide services where they are needed most when no other provider is there. As you can see in this issue, it is with hearts of gratitude we also seek to give back. The stories of community involvement in this issue of the Journey remind me of a quote by John F. Kennedy. In a series of speeches he gave in the 1960’s, he cites a common theme of “a rising tide lifts all boats.” In 1960 he was referring to the responsible development of our country’s natural resources, which would lead to an increase of wealth and prosperity within certain geographic areas. This, in turn, would increase the wealth and prosperity of our country as a whole. I ask for the liberty of applying this quote to the work being done by LifeScape. You help raise the tide on the quality of care and opportunities for meaningful days so that the quality of life is improved for everyone in our communities. The stories in this issue are testament to how we are all lifted up when we lift up those around us. It is with gratitude we send these stories to you. Thank you for your continued support of our amazing mission.
Thank You! With warmest wishes,

Inspired to Give Back A Spirit of Volunteerism
LifeScape gets so much support from all over South Dakota and far beyond. We are continually inspired to give back to our community, and pay it forward. Later this summer, staff members will work side-byside with the adults supported through LifeScape, helping at The Banquet, as well as doing highway cleanup work. This fall, LifeScape will host a neighborhood cleanup day.
Encouragement from his brother, a $500 contribution from marketing firm Click Rain, and help from LifeScape staff member Edith Ellen Gale and her daughter Bekah Cheppenko all gave Steven the confidence he needed to make his dream come true. He raised $1,620 for the Lighting the Way Autism Walk, and was honored for his efforts at the June 13th event at Augustana College in Sioux Falls. The ripples of kindness and doing good in the world just keep going.
A group from LifeScape was nominated for a Spirit of Volunteerism Award for their work at Feeding South Dakota and the Sioux Falls Food Pantry.
A group from Capitol/Achievement in Adult Services was nominated for the group award.
A group from Capitol/Achievement in Adult Services was nominated by Feeding South Dakota and the Sioux Falls Food Pantry for the group award. They have volunteered at the Sioux Falls Food Pantry for almost a year. They go every Friday for about one-and-a-half hours to bag or sort commodities and fresh fruits and vegetables. They also create hygiene bags. Way to go!
People supported by LifeScape and staff members have logged nearly 1,000 hours of volunteer time in the Sioux Falls and Rapid City communities this year. Steven Prendergast is a shining example. Steven has Asperger’s Syndrome, and has always wanted to raise funds to help other people with Autism Spectrum Disorders. He is a big fan of video games, and decided to ask Tamara Schroeder, the owner of Electric Rainbow Arcade in Sioux Falls, if she would help him host an event. The date was set for April 26, and she agreed to donate half the proceeds from the afternoon’s events, which Steven dubbed “The Arcade Bash for Autism.”
Steven Prendergast spoke at the Lighting the Way Autism Walk, where he was honored for his advocacy.
Jessica Beens and Barbara Wendell-Schechter were nominated for Spirit of Volunteerism Awards for their work at LifeScape. Jessica, of Alexandria, SD, helps with classroom field trips and swim time at LifeScape, and is an invaluable volunteer office assistant. Barbara shares her passions with a woman supported by LifeScape in helping her pursue her dream of becoming more physically fit. She accompanies her to the gym and has become a good friend to her.
Cover Story (continued) Roberta appreciates the staff that take her to the Center for Active Generations, where she and Kathy work out twice a week. The two see a movie every weekend, “If there’s one fit to see,” and love attending plays. She’s active at church and reads the Argus Leader every day. Although a sister lives just blocks away, Roberta and her family know that LifeScape will always make sure she is safe and happy, whatever her needs might be.
Premature babies fighting to survive, toddlers learning to walk and talk, preschoolers gaining skills to attend their home schools, teenagers struggling with autism spectrum disorders, and adults needing supports to work, and then retire—LifeScape provides the expertise to help each person find success in his or her own way. It’s a mission that finds its safety net in the efforts of countless volunteers and donors. Together, we’ll keep working to ensure that all people are valued and respected.
Jessica Beens & Barbara Wendell-Schechter, 2015 Spirit of Volunteerism nominees.

Leave a legacy Imagine leaving a legacy that will help provide lives of dignity and fulfillment for countless people with disabilities. Through your estate planning, you can make a difference far into the future, while providing tax advantages now for yourself and your family. As you review or write your will, consider including a charitable bequest for the LifeScape Foundation. The assets you provide will be carefully invested, and only the interest is used. In this way, your gift will continue to provide for individuals with special needs indefinitely. Your attorney can advise you on the language to use. It is commonly worded as below:
Over 50 Years of Oysters! Fifty-one years is a LONG time for one event to keep going, but that’s what’s been happening each spring in Madison, SD with the East River Electric Mountain Oyster Feed! Local businesses and individuals donate a huge number of items for a silent auction and raffles. East River employees prepare and serve up the “oyster delicacy,” plus pulled pork sandwiches and other yummy food for a huge crowd that turns out each year from the Madison area. We were also so pleased to see some of the families we serve join in the fun! The 51st annual Mountain Oyster Feed for LifeScape was held March 26, raising a record of over $22,600! Proceeds go to the Nelson Fund, established by retired East River CEO Jeff Nelson (shown here fourth from the left) in 2012 to address critical staffing needs at LifeScape.

Delmer Tronson LOVES anything to do with John Deere farm equipment, and he’s always dreamed of a birthday party with a John Deere theme. He decided this was the year, and asked LifeScape staff to help him celebrate his 74th birthday with the proper green and yellow decorations. His staff members got him a John Deere decorated cake from The Cookie Cutter (LifeScape’s bakery, which employs adults with disabilities) and invited all his friends and family. “He got to see old friends, and enjoyed having people stop in to wish him a happy birthday and have some cake and juice,” says Arrione Milk, one of Delmer’s support staff at LifeScape. Delmer enjoyed it so much, he might do it again next year! The decorated cake was provided by Wish List donor funding.

Kaden: Little Fighter His name means “little fighter,” and that’s been two-year-old Kaden Vanden Berg’s story from the beginning. Kaden, of Hills, MN, was expected to die before birth, but he has proven the doctors wrong at every turn. He was born with heart defects and his intestines outside of his body, and spent over a year in the hospital at the University of Michigan, before transferring to Sanford Children’s Hospital and then to LifeScape’s Specialty Hospital for rehab care. He now gets outpatient therapy twice a week at LifeScape Rehabilitation Center, with goals to walk and talk. “The therapists really see his potential, and work very hard to help him,” says his mom, Susan. “God has put us in touch with wonderful doctors, nurses, and therapists to help us along the way.” Donor contributions are used to purchase the equipment the therapists use in Kaden’s therapy.
