<strong>On</strong> Friday, June 22, our recipients<br />
were treated to a delicious hamburger<br />
and tater tots lunch delivered by a<br />
special volunteer. Many local celebrities<br />
generously donated their time and<br />
endured the near 100 degree temperatures outside to deliver the meals to our recipients at<br />
the Big <strong>Wheels</strong> Deliver <strong>Meals</strong>’ promotion. For the sixteenth consecutive year, <strong>Lubbock</strong><br />
<strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong> and Sonic Restaurants have joined together to help raise public awareness<br />
and involve local celebrities in the mission of <strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong>. Sonic Restaurants<br />
graciously donated 703 meals to feed all the recipients, celebrities, and classic car drivers.<br />
Each celebrity, paired with a classic or unique car and driver, left for an assigned route<br />
from one of the twelve area Sonics. After all of the routes had been delivered, everyone<br />
was invited back to the <strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong>’ office to enjoy their Sonic lunch along with<br />
tasty ice cream sandwiches donated by Gandy’s and beverages donated by Coca Cola<br />
Refreshments. Thank you to Sonic for making this event possible. Our thanks also<br />
goes to The SportsZone for donating event t-shirts for all of the celebrities and Xstream<br />
AutoClean for donating complimentary car wash cards to all the drivers. We truly appreciate<br />
everyone who helped make this a very special and fun day for our recipients.<br />

Volunteer Spotlight<br />
This new special article will feature one <strong>Lubbock</strong> <strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong>’ volunteer and will include a<br />
photo and information about their volunteer service in their own words. We hope you will enjoy<br />
reading about some of our many dedicated volunteers and perhaps their stories will inspire you to<br />
volunteer as well!<br />
Kathy Graham<br />
Start Date: January<br />
2007<br />
Volunteer Duties:<br />
deliver<br />
meals, serve<br />
on volunteer<br />
council, help<br />
in kitchen and<br />
office, package<br />
fruit<br />
Why did you decide to volunteer I always volunteered<br />
when I could while teaching and raising<br />
five children by myself. <strong>On</strong>ce I retired, I had<br />
time to volunteer more.<br />
Why do you continue to volunteer I enjoy everyone<br />
at <strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong>, staff and clients. Of<br />
course, if I’m here I can’t be home cleaning! I<br />
am also used to being busy all day.<br />
Most memorable volunteer experience: Delivering<br />
fruit one day I had a gentleman so excited that<br />
he was eating a banana before I could get to<br />
the car.<br />
Why do you think your volunteer work is important I<br />
really enjoy seeing how my grandchildren<br />
respond to people with different needs and<br />
problems. My children still volunteer now<br />
that they are older.<br />
<strong>Lubbock</strong> <strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong> is excited to<br />
announce the receipt of a grant for the Pet Food<br />
Program from Banfield Charitable Trust! The<br />
grant for $2500 is to be used for the purchase of<br />
pet food for our Pet Food Program that has been<br />
in existence since 1999.<br />
Since 2003, Banfield Charitable Trust (BCT)<br />
has been working to keep the most vulnerable<br />
populations together with their pet companions.<br />
With the help of their donors, they promote the<br />
human-pet bond which provides mental, physical,<br />
Seeking Subs<br />
<strong>Lubbock</strong> <strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong> is searching<br />
for substitute drivers. Substitute volunteers<br />
are those who just deliver as needed and as<br />
available rather than committing to a certain<br />
route on a specific day. With summer<br />
vacations and the large number of routes,<br />
substitutes are needed to fill in for regular<br />
drivers almost every day. The benefits of<br />
being a substitute are that you are not committed<br />
to a weekly route, you get to go on a<br />
variety of routes, and you get to meet many<br />
different people. As with all volunteers,<br />
a one-hour orientation is required. All of<br />
the routes are within the city limits, have<br />
between 8 and 12 stops, and average about<br />
12 miles. It only takes about one hour to<br />
deliver a route, and you can drive as many<br />
or as few days as you are available. So if you<br />
think you could help out and substitute on<br />
occasion, please call Barbara<br />
at 806-792-7971.<br />
What do you want people to know about <strong>Lubbock</strong> <strong>Meals</strong><br />
on <strong>Wheels</strong> <strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong> provides a very<br />
needed service, not only food but personal<br />
contact for many who do not have<br />
family available.<br />
and emotional benefits to our communities. They<br />
work to prevent the surrendering of pets which<br />
needlessly burdens public and private shelters.<br />
This includes funding pet food distribution programs<br />
across the country for homebound seniors<br />
through <strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong> programs.<br />
<strong>Lubbock</strong> <strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong> is grateful for this<br />
generous grant that will help feed the four-legged<br />
companions of our homebound, elderly, and<br />
disabled clients.<br />
<strong>On</strong>e in every nine seniors is at risk of hunger. Throughout the month of September Comfort<br />
Keepers of <strong>Lubbock</strong> will gather specific food items and monetary donations for <strong>Lubbock</strong> <strong>Meals</strong><br />
on <strong>Wheels</strong> to fill 3500 weekend meal bags. Weekend meals are provided to those <strong>Lubbock</strong> <strong>Meals</strong><br />
on <strong>Wheels</strong> recipients that have no access or assistance with food over the weekend. This initiative<br />
supports Comfort Keepers’ goal to improve the quality of life for seniors and help them<br />
maintain healthy, independent lives. A food drive will be held on September 15th from 9a.m.-<br />
6p.m. at two WalMart locations, 82nd & Milwaukee and Quaker & Loop 289. If you and/<br />
or your business or church wants to help STOP Senior Hunger by conducting a food drive or<br />
by donating the cost of a weekend meal bag, please call Comfort Keepers at 806-687-7800.<br />

The annual garage sale in April that<br />
benefited <strong>Lubbock</strong> <strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong><br />
and Metropolitan Rotary was a tremendous<br />
success raising over $8500!<br />
Almost every single item donated to<br />
the sale was sold. Our sincere thanks<br />
to Delta Theta Chi for all of their<br />
help preparing for and during the sale<br />
and to Tony Cardinal whose generous<br />
donation of the use of his building<br />
and utilities made the event possible.<br />
Thank you also to all the <strong>Lubbock</strong><br />
<strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong>’ and Metropolitan<br />
Rotary’s volunteers for all of their hard<br />

<strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong> <strong>July</strong> <strong>2012</strong> 3
Volunteers deliver dry dog food and cat food every other week to the pets<br />
of meal recipients who are unable to provide pet food for their furry friends.<br />
Currently, about 118 dogs and 67 cats are on the Pet Food Program so donations<br />
of dry food are always welcome! Collecting pet food is also a great project for a service<br />
group, organization, or business office. Anyone interested in donating food can bring it<br />
by <strong>Lubbock</strong> <strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong> during normal business hours (8a.m.-4:30p.m. Monday –<br />

a note from the executive director<br />
I recently read an article about building boards and lessons<br />
that could be taken from big league baseball. I really<br />
enjoyed this article and it fits right in with the dog days of<br />
summer.<br />
Nonprofit organizations should operate more like a<br />
baseball team! We have been told that “nonprofits should<br />
run more like a business” but a baseball team, seriously<br />
Many nonprofit boards don’t address future need for board<br />
members in advance of the need. Rather, it is the vacancy<br />
on the board that triggers the search.<br />
This approach to board member recruitment then is often<br />
a “shot in the dark,” hoping the new recruit is passionate<br />
about the cause, and will faithfully fulfill their duties. So<br />
here are three lessons on team building from the big leagues.<br />
Lesson 1 – Recruit early and recruit often. Don’t wait for<br />
an injury to begin recruiting, build a bench of talent. What<br />
about nonprofits According to BoardSource, the average tenure of a board member is<br />
7.2 years. Board members, like MLB players will move on to other pursuits.<br />
Lesson 2 – Grow your own leaders by creating paths for development. People<br />
volunteer, attend a fundraising event, support the pet program, or donate to support<br />
the program. This helps to identify potential prospects by observing those<br />
who exhibit leadership qualities. Then when vacancies arise, you can score a home<br />
run with your choice.<br />
Lesson 3 – Honor your heroes. Every team has their own Hall of Fame. People are<br />
honored for their contributions. The key is finding ways to keep volunteers connected<br />
with a lifetime of involvement with the organization.<br />
mission<br />
statement<br />

human being, no matter their need or<br />
physical condition, <strong>Lubbock</strong> <strong>Meals</strong> on<br />

delivered meals to those who are<br />
homebound, elderly or disabled. We<br />
shall seek to break the social isolation<br />
experienced by the homebound by<br />
providing warm, caring, friendly<br />
contact through our volunteers.<br />

It is hard to think of the holidays when<br />
the thermometer reads 105 degrees but it<br />
is never too early to mark your calendars<br />
for a sale you will not want to miss. The<br />
Holiday Extravaganza is scheduled for<br />
November 2-3 from 10a.m. – 2p.m. at the<br />

and antiques. Be sure to get there early and<br />

The Annie’s Chat & Chew event was<br />
held at the Mae Simmons Senior<br />
Center on Saturday, April 14th from<br />
11a.m.-2p.m. This fundraiser was<br />
started over twenty years ago by longtime<br />
volunteer Annie Sanders and<br />
continued as a memorial once again<br />
this year. Guests enjoyed plenty of<br />
great catfish, side dishes, and homemade<br />
desserts, visiting with friends,<br />
and remembering Annie Sanders, a<br />
very special woman. Thank you to<br />
everyone who helped to make this<br />
event a success and raise over $1300<br />

our quiches are available throughout the year. We also offer quiche gift certificates which allow<br />
the recipient to select their favorite and pick it up whenever convenient. These delicious, cheesy<br />
quiches are perfect for bridal or baby showers, a weekend brunch, or just whenever you want a<br />
great and simple meal for your family. All you do is place your order; pick it up at our office; pop<br />
it into the oven and enjoy! These 10-inch, frozen, ready-to bake quiches come in five varieties:<br />
Quiche Mexicana (vegetarian), Ham & Cheese Quiche, Spinach & Mushroom (vegetarian),<br />
Italian Sausage Quiche, and Quiche Florentine (spinach and bacon). Quiches are $12.99 plus<br />
tax or two for $25.00 plus tax and can be ordered by phone, fax, mail, or in person at our office.<br />
Keep us in mind when planning your next party, special occasion, or quiet evening at home and<br />
order one (or more) of these fabulous quiches. You’ll know that your purchase is not only feeding<br />
your family and friends but also the homebound, elderly, and disabled in your community as all<br />
