Dear Friends of Chicago Lights,

Chicago Lights is changing lives one at a time by off ering hope and opportunity to people who face the challenges of aging, poverty, and access to education and health care.

Last year we touched the lives of 7,000 individuals of all ages, races, and religious traditions. A child is mentored in the Tutoring program. An individual who was hungry is fed a hot meal by Elam Davies Social Service Center volunteers. A person who is unemployed taught a new skill. A health problem was identifi ed during a screening at the Center for Whole Health. A retired person connected with friends at the Center for Life and Learning.

Chicago Lights is alert to changes in demographics and needs. Our Board is embarking on a strategic plan for 2008–2010 to ensure the organization stays relevant and eff ective. Task forces are reviewing programs, and the Center for Life and Learning, formerly the Center for Older Adults, is implementing a plan to attract new audiences.

We are grateful for more than $1.6 million in gift s from individuals, foundations, and corporations in 2006. I encourage you to consider how your life might be changed by volunteering or by making a generous gift to Chicago Lights. Working together, we can build bridges to a brighter future.

Th ank you,

Betty H. BergstromPresident, Chicago Lights Board of Directors

Chicago Lights at Fourth Presbyterian Church is a 501(c)(3) nonprofi t organization that brings together, under one banner, programs that strengthen individuals, families, and neighboring communities. Th e programs of Chicago Lights off er hope and opportunity to people of all ages, races, and religious traditions who seek wholeness in body, mind, and spirit.

3,000 adults who are homeless or living in poverty were served through 7,063 bag lunches, 5,075 Sunday Night dinners, 1,164 grocery bags, 728 clothing appointments, 784 referrals for service, and served from 8−25 individuals attending housing seminars bi-monthly.

1,500 children living in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods were given 18,000 hours of tutoring and mentoring; 3,900 hours of Summer academic and arts instruction; and 300 Near North neighborhood kids participated in the fi ne arts Festival of the Heart.

240 women and men 60 years and older engaged in XXXX hours of stimulating continuing education classes, health and wellness counseling, exercise sessions and community fi eld trips and events.

2,500 contacts were made with people seeking guidance about health and wellness through XXXX hours of workshops, one-to-one counseling, screenings and immunizations that led to healthier lives in body mind and spirit.

In 2006 Chicago Lights off ered hope and opportunity to 7,000 urban neighbors faced with the challenges of

aging, poverty, access to education and healthcare!

Tutoring and Scholarship provides opportunities for more than 400 students to stay in school, graduate from high school, and move on to higher education and meaningful careers.

Chicago Lights has matched students from Cabrini-Green and other Chicago neighborhoods with volunteer tutors for weekly one-to-one study sessions since 1964. Th e program’s job training, scholarships, and academic resources also provide opportunities for students to excel. Aft er four years in Tutoring, Stephan Hall is a freshman at Morehouse College. Hall began at Chicago Public School’s Dunbar High School, “but it was not challenging me to my full potential and not preparing me for college.” A Chicago Lights scholarship enabled Hall to transfer to Providence-St. Mel in his junior year. “Th e fi rst week there was one of the toughest of my life,” he recalls. “It felt like boot camp. I had more homework that fi rst week than in the previous two years at Dunbar.” Hall connected with a mentor, who is guiding him toward his ideal career as an investment banker and real estate developer. “If it wasn’t for the Tutoring program, I wouldn’t have met my mentor and wouldn’t have been prepared for college,” says Hall, a fi rst-generation college student. “I’m not sure what would have occurred if I hadn’t taken advantage of those opportunities. It was a blessing.”

Th e Th read of Development Arts and Literacy Program at the Nancy B. Jeff erson Alternative School (NBJ) provides the only one-to-one literacy tutoring for 460 youth incarcerated in the Cook County Juvenile Detention Center.

Th rough increased literacy, written and oral self-expression, exposure to and study of the performing, visual, and literary arts, this program seeks to reduce recidivism and help students fi nd meaningful pathways toward a transformed sense of identity and connection to a broader community through self-expression and further education.

A note to Stacy Jackson, Director of Tutoring and Scholarship, from Miriam Swanson, who with her late husband, Bob, sponsored Stephan’s scholarship in memory of their grandson.

“How thrilling it is to read how well Stephan is doing and has embarked on his career much as he dreamed and wanted to do. Credit goes to you for putting us together. I am so thankful that Bob participated in the selection. . . . Th ank you for all the good that you do.”

Th e Near North Magnet Cluster (NNMC) program builds self-esteem through literacy and the arts for 1,200 students in three Cabrini-Green public schools.

Th ree hundred of these students participated in fi ne arts classes culminating in the Festival of the Heart: a theater, music, and dance performance that attracted 1,500 attendees and was run from top to bottom by participating students. Tony Harris’s involvement in the Festival helped him to

land a scholarship at a top private Chicago school in 2006. NNMC program director Diana Anton mentored him when she noticed Tony’s high literacy scores and kind, responsible behavior.

“I helped with the backstage lights,” he explains. “It was pretty fun because I got to do a lot of things myself.” With guidance from experts, Tony clamped the lights in place and made sure they shone

in just the right spots during the performance. Now he’s in the spotlight. Science student of the month and manager of his varsity basketball team, Tony earned an invitation to

Gordon Tech High School in fall 2007. Still focused on the Festival experience that changed his young life, Harris noted, “You can get a lot of experience by doing this. And it’s fun.”

Th e Summer Day program increases 120 students’ chances for success during the school year, engages their spirits through the arts, and reduces

summertime exposure to violence and crime on the streets.

Grade-school students have a chance to sharpen their academic and computer skills in a fun learning environment and participate in such life-enriching activities as art, music, dance—classes

that many inner-city schools have had to cut. In 2006, Summer Day’s twenty-fi ft h anniversary year, students went “Steppin’ in Time,” learning about the history and culture that shapes

Chicago today. D’Anna Adams, a multiyear veteran of Summer Day, credits the program with helping her “get better in math and reading” so she’s ready to return to the classroom

in the fall. But her talent and love for the arts also shine through. “At the end of Summer Day there’s a big fi nale of all the drama and dance and art and music,”

which is put on for the community, she explains. Adams, a seventh grader, likes thetheater productions because “you get to meet diff erent people and see their talents.”

Th e Center for Whole Health makes 2,500 contacts annually with people from all walks of life who seek health and wellness in body, mind, and spirit through seminars, counseling, screenings, and immunizations.

Not being able to care for one’s health is a very stressful situation that can leave a person feeling vulnerable. Th is was the situation for actor Nancy Baird, who was concerned about her blood pressure and temporarily without insurance. Aft er attending one of the Chicago Lights seminars during National Women’s Health Week, Baird had her blood pressure checked by the Center’s Director, Terrill Stumpf, DNSc, RN. She was relieved to learn it had dropped. “You’re just in such a comfortable environment,” says Baird. Th rough the Center she believes the church “looks at your whole health. It’s spiritual, but they’re taking care of you physically as well.”

Th e Center for Life and Learning provides 240 active adults age sixty and over with daily opportunities to explore new interests, pursue well-being, and engage with the community through social, educational, and physical activities.

Paul Carson fi rst found his way to the Center for Life and Learning (CLL), formerly the Center for Older Adults, aft er a friend recommended a T’ai Chi class to aid his ailing back. More than six years later, he is retired and very active in the Center, taking classes and serving on the Center’s Advisory Council. According to Carson, “For retirees and near-retirees, there’s nothing better than to have somewhere to go.” Carson has used the Center’s computer consultants to get his laptop up and running, a seminar on writing to begin his memoir, and French classes to reacquaint himself with the language of the country in Africa where his grandchild will be born. Carson is the kind of active, engaged adult over sixty that the Center is working to attract. He always spends half a day at the Center on Mondays, because “when I worked that was my most productive day,” he says. “When my work slowed down, there was a void, and this was really wonderful.”

Th e Elam Davies Social Service Center (EDSSC) meets basic needs and helps provide a path to self-suffi ciency for 3,000 men, women,

and families who are homeless or living in poverty in Chicago.

“Lee” is a man whose life was changed because of the Elam Davies Social Service Center. “About two years ago I was living in a transient hotel,” he says, “I was 56, and for

the fi rst time in my life I was completely broke. I knew I was about to be homeless, and I had no idea how to survive on the street.”

During one of the Center’s Housing Seminars he learned about overcoming road blocks to getting into housing. “It was a harder and longer process than I expected.

Since I didn’t have a birth certifi cate, the staff helped me apply for my out-of-state documents. I also had three or four surgeries, and that slowed the process down a lot.”

But “Lee” came in daily to check with the Center.

Aft er a year and a half, “Lee” settled in his own apartment. “I used the computer in the Social Service Center to apply [for housing] and those weekly lunches really helped me

get by, too.” “Lee” says he loves his apartment. “It’s clean; there’s not any fi ghting; there are lots of young people around; and it’s close to the El.” “Lee” doesn’t visit us

very oft en anymore. “Th e Social Service Center is for the people who really need it,” he says. “I can get by now, so they can help someone else the way they helped me.”

A letter to David Murad, Director of the Elam Davies Social Service Center, from Mrs. Grace Davies, whose husband, Elam Davies, was Pastor of Fourth Presbyterian Church from 1961 to 1984 and founded the Social Service Center in 1984.

Elam was so grateful by the way the Center started to grow. It was his dream to have just such a sanctuary for the least, the last, and the lonely. How I wish he knew how much you have accomplished. Congratulations to you and your staff on being awarded “Best Volunteer Program 2006” by the Greater Chicago Food Depository. God bless you and your work. Happy New Year.

—Very sincerely, Grace Davies

for more than 7,000 people in our

community each year.

When you make a gift to the

Chicago Lights Annual Fund, you

ensure that students will receive

one-to-one tutoring from a caring

adult. You provide hot meals to

homeless adults. You off er fl u

shots to elderly neighbors. You

give a gift that changes lives!

Please make a gift to the Annual

Fund by using the enclosed

“Because Chicago Lights is affi liated with our church, we trusted it as a source, and we also generally look for philanthropic outlets that are bettering our communities. My husband and I have both been involved with [Chicago Lights programs as volunteers], so this is a way we can help fi nancially as well as actively.”—Suzanne Kickhaefer, who along with her husband, Kevin, has supported Chicago Lights for the last fi ve years

“We’ve helped with

blood drives, serving

meals, registration for

an arthritis event, a

formal board meeting

meal, and collecting cell

phones. . . . I feel that it

really takes everybody

pitching in. Nobody

should be sitting on the

sidelines. Everybody

has a skill that can be

utilized. It’s everyone’s

responsibility to give

back to the community

at large, whether it’s

monetary, time, or a

donation of items.”

—Fourth Church member Lynn Neils, who along with her husband, Jim, volunteers with the Center for Whole Health

“I only give to two things: one is my college and one is Fourth Church, part of which is Chicago Lights. When I give to Chicago Lights I can see the results, as I have also been active in volunteering with the Social Service Center, Summer Day Program, and Center for Whole Health. Another reason I give to Chicago Lights is because the donation can be matched by my former employer, Bank of America. It’s easy to do online. Most people who are working and have corporate matching available are made aware of it, but a lot of retired people may not know they can still get that benefi t.”—Janet Reed, Chicago Lights volunteer and former Advisory Council Chair, Elam Davies Social Service Center (2004− 2005)

“My support of Chicago Lights has grown out of my membership at Fourth Presbyterian Church and the church’s mission to be a Light in the City. Th e Chicago Lights programs really follow that mission by strengthening and supporting individuals and families from economically disadvantaged neighborhoods. Th ese programs are inspiring and off er hope, opportunity, and a brighter future for everyone involved—because we grow when we give.”—Hope Daniels, Chicago Lights volunteer and former Board of Directors member (2003–2005)

1,000 Chicago Lights volunteers donated 26,248 hours to help others build bridges to a brighter future.

“I’m single and I have no children, so from that perspective Tutoring has broadened my horizons of experiences with children. It’s taught me how to think of others in a very diff erent way. At one point I had become very busy with other things, and I found myself overwhelmed. But I selected Tutoring as the constant I would stay with, because I have to think of Julissa. She matters. It’s been great to see how she’s been able to develop just from me being there.”

—Angela DiAnna, Tutor in her third year volunteering, with eight-year-old Julissa
