Unification

The human body is made up of 10 different systems. These systems include: skeletal, muscular, nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular, lymphatic, endocrine, digestive, urinary, and integumentary. In order for our body to function properly, all systems must be working together. If any

system is damaged, the body becomes unstable and ultimately could die.

Similar to the systems of the body are systems in society that need to work together in order for our society to function properly. These systems include: our many cultures, economics, politics, communities, neighborhoods, families, and religious. If these systems fail to work together, we create a sick society – one of violence, hatred and poverty.

When people talk, listen completely, be patient and understanding. Place yourself in their shoes. Each of us needs to take time out of our daily life and reflect on how we can work together to make a difference. Working together as a team gives the ability to work toward a common vision. As Mother Teresa so eloquently stated, “I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot: Together we can do great things.”

On August 6, we hosted a free forum highlighting the Medicare hospice benefit and what that means. Beth Edwards and Cori Parker from Heartland Home Health were our guest speakers. Much information was shared and our 50 attendees had many questions answered. All enjoyed

homemade soups, bread and sweet treats. We appreciate the Racine Community Foundation and the United Way of Racine County for sponsoring this event, and all who helped to make the presentation a success. More informa-tional forums at no cost will be offered in the future.

As our fiscal year draws to a close, we would like to thank each and every donor who contributed to our program this year. The Racine Dominicans, grantors, individual/organizational donations, in-kind contributions and donations made in honor or memory of a loved one; all help tremendously to sustain our program. Without your support, we could not continue to serve the elderly in our community. Our ministry has been in existence since 1978, and with your kind

generosity, we hope to serve for many years to come. As we move into the season of thanksgiving and reflect on our blessings, it is difficult to describe how truly grateful we are. God bless you all.~Sue, Laurie & Jeanne
