COUNTRY WESTERN EVENING - A HUGE SUCCESSWCCS produced its first-ever “Coun-try Western Evening” on October 7,2017. All the 200+ attendees said theythoroughly enjoyed the evening.

Eugene Rose, WCCS CEO said“in the past our big annual fundraiserhas always been a formal event. Welistened to our past guests and thoughtwe’d try something casual and fun thisyear instead.”

It’s evident that Rose and hiscommittee hit the right note too.

The event was held at the GreatWolf Lodge in Mason. Great Wolfprovided a perfect setting that wasconducive to the evening’s theme.Country Western wear was encour-aged attire. As guests registered, theyreceived their “Sheriffs” name badgeand were welcomed with Bluegrasstunes played by WCCS Board mem-ber, Steve Kilburn and band partner.

“Our committee wanted every-one to have fun and not benickeled-and-dimed to death”commented Rose. The WCCS main-tenance team of Lee Morris and ZackBaker designed and built numerousthemed games of skill for all to enjoyand for chances to win door prizes.Committee members posted ideas toa Pinterest page from which Lee andZack gained ideas. Dolcee Hoffmanmanaged the beautiful invitations,social and published media. EmilyGillam solicited and collected silentauction items. Amy Houpey located

WCCS is finishing 2017 on a positivenote in all areas. What a year this hasbeen! We’ve had major accomplish-ments, growth and increasedcommunity support.

Our fastest growing programcontinues to be Meals on Wheels™.The new Atrium Medical Center spon-sored Commissary has now beenoperating for nearly half a year. It couldnot have come online at a more neces-sary time. Demand continues growingthroughout Warren and the easternportion of Butler County. We are at thestart of an even greater growth burst.

Meeting increased demandsrequires robust infrastructure and trans-portation resources. Our routes aregrowing in step with our growth andour delivery fleet is aging. To meetthese needs, we’ve committed toadding and replacing 7 new deliveryvans throughout 2018. There is aninteresting challenge and opportunitylinked to the newly ordered vans:

WCCS is boldly promoting ourbrand and we’re looking for leadingorganizations who wish to sponsorthese vans with us for their use as a“moving billboard” to advertise theirorganization.

Mike Schueler, CEO of SchuelerGroup, has issued us the “MikeSchueler throw down challenge”. Mike

will wrap the first and seventh vanswe have ordered. “The challenge stillstands for you to add five more corpo-rate ‘wrapped’ vehicles, and SchuelerGroup will sponsor the seventh (ourthird) logo-ed van,” wrote Mike in hisrecent challenge. We’re seeking fiveother businesses, churches, organiza-tions, etc. to help us meet the challenge,

Thoughts from the CEO, Eugene Roseplease. It’s all up to you. Pleasecontact me at (513) 695-2201 or aterose@wccsinc.org to sponsor yourvan before it’s too late!

Like Meals on Wheels™, seniortransportation needs have grown. In2017, we’ve transported thelargest number of seniorsever to medical appoint-ments and trips to obtain dailyliving needs. This service isprovided by our regular driv-ers with whom our seniorsbecome comfortable; thesame driver is regularlyassigned to each senior frompickup to drop off to returntrip. We are grateful to havejust taken delivery on ourlargest transport vehicle todate. Through a grant fromthe Ohio Department of Transportation(ODOT) we’ve just received a 14-pas-senger transport van.

Our Head Start program isanxiously awaiting release of a prom-ised “Duration Grant” from the USDepartment of Health & HumanServices to purchase a new EarlyLearning Center in Carlisle. We haveendured a long process and haveworked with the offices of US Sena-tors Rob Portman and Sherrod Brown.US Congressman Steve Chabot is

helping to expedite theprocess too. We’re hopefulto have funds in hand beforethe end of 2017. This willresult in providing anotherEarly Learning Center in anarea of the County where itis most needed.

We are now fullystaffed in our STEP Employ-ment Program. Our longtimemanager, Jen Parker, left to

relocate to Cleveland leaving her posi-tion vacant. I am delighted to reportthat we have hired Vickie Staley as thenew program manager. Vickie originallywas the manager of STEP when WCCSfirst began the program. We’re happyto have her return and know thisvalued program will continue tosucceed under her management.

WCCS is welcoming a new program.Adult New Readers is a nonprofitserving adults needing to learn or growtheir reading skills. It also teachesEnglish-as-a-second-language to legalimmigrants in our area. After many

recent discussions with the majorCounty libraries and the Boards ofWCCS and Adult New Readers, it wasdecided that it is beneficial to mergeAdult New Readers into WCCS. Thethirty-year-old agency is led byBarbara Geiger. Barbara and staff willrelocate to the 741 AdministrationBuilding where Barbara will remainProgram Director. WCCS’ vast geo-graphic footprint will afford Adult NewReaders the opportunity to work in allareas of the County. The synergiesbetween the program and other WCCSprograms will benefit all whom weserve. Please join me in welcomingBarbara Geiger, Director of Adult NewReader Program to our WCCS family.

As 2017 ends, I offer my personalthanks to the many amazing individu-als, businesses and organizations whohelp to support our mission throughoutthe year. Supporting WCCS is a noblething helping more than 11,000 individu-als annually. With your help, our variedservices assist community membersbecome the best they can be thus add-ing productivity, growth and indepen-dence into their lives. In countlessways, this benefits all whom we serveand everyone else in our community.Merry Christmas, happy holidays andmy best to everyone in the new year.

Top ways to save energy1. Wear the right clothes: Dressfor the temperature. Layering clothesand wearing wool helps keep youwarm in winter, and means you canturn your heater down.

2. Shut doors and close curtains:Where possible, shut doors to areasyou are not using and only heat orcool the rooms you spend the mosttime in. Make sure your curtains orblinds seal your windows properly,and keep your curtains closed atnight, and during the day when thereis a heat-wave. Block draughts

around doors and windows to stop airleaking out, or in.

3. Set your thermostat: In winterheating can account for over 30% ofyour bill. Set your thermostatbetween 18 and 20 degrees Celcius.In summer, set your thermostat to 26degrees or above.

4. Wash clothes in cold water: Youcan save around $115 per year bywashing clothes in cold water. Youcan also save by making sure youselect the shortest appropriatewashing cycle and waiting until you

have a full load.

5. Run your fridgeefficiently: Your fridge isalways on, making it oneof your most expensiveappliances. Make sure thedoor seal is tight and freefrom gaps so cold air can’tescape. An ideal fridgetemperature is 4 or 5degrees and an idealfreezer temperature isminus 15 to minus 18degrees Celsius. If youhave a second fridge orfreezer, only turn it onwhen you need it.
