STATE OF THE WRAC REPORT 2015

Thank all of you for coming tonight. I want to welcome you to the 2015 Annual meeting. Please let me introduce the Board of Directors.Last year at this time, I reported to you that the WRAC had achieved some significant portions of our Strategic Plan that had been formulated in 2013.

Those accomplishments included updating of the Patron Handbook, Hardwiring the building for WI-Fi and TV and adding some new exercise machines. At that time I spoke of our intent to replace all of the Nautilus Equipment.I am pleased to say that the machines are on order and are scheduled to be installed prior to the April 15th Gala. There are many people who deserve thanks for that huge step. This board who made it a priority, Kara Hoover who started the process, Cathy who wrote the grants, Dana who kept track of the finance and helped us see how the funding could be done, Sherry who helped us determine the needs and Cody for keeping the old machines running until the new ones could be ordered.In addition, The Lions Club, the Hospital and the Fix Family in memory of George have promised additional funds. The overall cost of the Nautilus project is approaching $70,000.

During this whole process and in the busiest year the WRAC has ever had, our former Executive Director moved on and had to be replaced. The board and WRAC were extremely lucky to find a replacement in Matt Whetzel. In the six months that Matt has been here, the full time staff has undergone a positional metamorphosis. The job descriptions have been modified, clarified and changed to make the whole staff function at a higher level. The WRAC has hired a new director of Facility Maintenance who just started this week, and the Board has begun its own change process. All of these things are tokens of the continuing change that the WRAC undergoes and must continue in order to serve the entire area.

I want to place a little more emphasis on the board and the changes we hope to implement. Like most boards of non-profits and even some for profit companies, the WRAC board has been in the position of helping with and advising about the operations of the facility. While that function is necessary, there is more to be done. The Board has determined that in order for the WRAC to continue its service and expand our regional impact, we must concentrate more on Vision and Development. The Board has determined that looking ahead to the needs of the area and the opportunities for additional services will keep the WRAC fresh and serve a greater number of people than ever before. Some items for consideration are:

● Expanded free weight area.● Building expansion to the west.● Possible Lap Pool area.● Re-purposing of one of the Racket ball courts.● Community Needs Surveys ● Development of Planned Giving● Growing the Endowment.● Examining other health facilities for programing and services.

● The expansion of the Board committee structure to include more members on a full time basis.

● Recruitment and training of Future Board members.

These and many other potential changes will require planning, community involvement and support. We believe the WRAC has such an important place in the area that we cannot live only in our history but have also to live in our imagination.

Fundraising Report2014 Annual Meeting

March 3, 2015

As reviewed in the Director’s report we hosted three major fundraisers in 2014: The 22nd Birthday Gala and Celebration; The Rubber Duckie Race; and the Christmas Bundles of Joy.

April 9th, 2014 - Birthday WRAC Gala- This event was wonderful and once again hosted a sold-out venue of people. The theme for the Gala was “The Next Step”. The WRAC was decorated with a collection of bright colored banners naming attributes that have made the community and the WRAC what it is and the foundation for who we will become in the future like : faith, dream, achieve, pursue, positive and health. The auction was one of our best ever and as usual the evening was great fun! We so enjoy this fundraiser as it provides an opportunity to socialize all the while supporting the WRAC.

April 11 th , 2014 - Birthday Celebration- The Friday after the Gala we set aside to celebrate our birthday. We offer membership discounts with Pop-A-Balloon fun. In 2014, we showcased our new Life Fitness and NU step equipment and tv’s all funded by the Wray Lions Club and the Wray Community Health fair. Additionally the Birthday celebration would not be the same without the meaningful and touching moment with the re-dedication of the memory tree. This past year we added several names to the memory tree with a special memorial for George Fix and Cliff Castor, who were both extremely influential in the life of the WRAC. Come join us this year as we take the time to honor special people again.

July 26 th , 2014 - WRAC Annual Duck Race- This fundraiser is our biggest each year but 2014 was even more unique as it was also the WRAC’s largest fundraiser overall to date. We saw are ticket sales rise from 3300 in 2013 to 3500 in 2014! As always we are so grateful to Kitzmiller-Bales for their match of

duck ticket sales. The Rubber Duck Race is so fun and really gets the entire community together as we watch for “their” special duck! Watch for this year and get your tickets early!!

November 28th – December 9th, 2014 WRAC Christmas Bundles of Joy- This year’s theme “A Stroll Through Christmas” was special as it encouraged people to remember the need to hold on to the true beauty of a simple, family focused Christmas. The WRAC was filled with over 120 bundles all unique with something for everyone! As last year folks had the opportunity to bid on-line through Mission FisheBay or come into the WRAC. A few other activities in 2014 was the beverages, bbq and Broncos activity when we projected the Broncos game on the wall in our half court gym, as well as, our new director strolling through Christmas in a beautiful pink Victorian dress during the Parade of Lights!

These three fundraisers grossed over $76,000 including the matching duck ticket sales. In 2014, we transferred nearly $7000 from our fundraisers to our major capital expense fund for future improvements and expansion of the WRAC. This type of fundraising is used to help cover operations at the WRAC. It is so impressive and wonderful to have the entire community get involved and really make a difference! Thank you for being so vested in the WRAC, you really do make a difference!

WRAC Annual Report for ProgramsMarch 3rd, 2015

Senior Activities & Classes (Currently)● Wellness Walkers, currently 27 participants who walk on Monday, Wednesday and Friday

morning from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. as well as from 1:30 – 2:30 p.m. for those seniors who have part-time jobs in the morning.

● Share Shop @ The Towers – Wednesdays Mornings 9:15- 10:30 a.m. Reading “The Way It Was in the USA – the West” by Clarence Hornung. This book is a collection of newspaper articles from here, and the residents love it!

● Pool Pals is held on Tuesdays from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. and Thursdays 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. We currently have two participants: Nancy Phillips and Robert K. Wilson.

● Sherry Parrish (certified Tai Chi Instructor) currently holds a weekly class at the Towers for the residents on Wednesdays from 1:30 to 2:00 p.m as well as a weekly class for seniors at the Senior Center on Thursdays from 2:15 to 3:00 p.m.

● FCCLA High School group provides breakfast and activities once a month during the current school year. In February, their theme was Valentine’s Day. The students helped the seniors decorate heart-shaped cookies.

● During their Destination Italy party the seniors voted on their next “destination”, I took the 3 most requested places and let them vote their choices were Bora, Bora,; Cairo, Egypt; and the Great Wall of China…the Great Wall of china won by 2 votes due to the fact they really want Chinese food at our next party.

● Food Bank of the Rockies (Commodity Supplemental Food Program) for seniors in the community that our 60 and older, with Karen Nelson from Health & Human Services Department once a month. This program is an extension of the WRAC since a large number of

WRAC senior program participants receive this service. It provides the opportunity to make sure everything is ok with seniors within the community, especially during these colder months, and encourages seniors to keep on track with their wellness activities. Several boxes are delivered to homes of the seniors who can’t make it out to pick up their boxes due to weather or illness. This takes place on the 4th Friday of each month (weather permitting) and is delivered out of the 55 & Older building on 7th Street.

● Nicole Salmans, RN, Wray Community District Hospital, donates her time once a month to provide FREE Blood Pressure Checks for seniors. This varies from month to month due to Nicole’s hectic work schedule.

Memory Tree● There will be a few more leaves added this year to our memory tree.

Current Programs and Classes:Kid P.H.I.T. (Physical Health Initial Tasks)

● The WRAC is currently in its twelfth session of Kid P.H.I.T. and is still running very strong with a waiting list for both age groups. In fact, we ended up with 41 kids this session instead of the usual 40 kids.

● This program teaches children the importance of living a healthy lifestyle while having fun! Each child learns about healthy snacks with a great deal of hands-on food preparation and develops a passion for lifetime physical activities. The theme for this session is “Books and Food.” Each week, we read a book based around food. All of the activities and food are related to that book. In one week, we read the book “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle. The kids ate green caterpillars (green grapes with mini chocolate chip eyes) and created their own butterflies out of celery, peanut butter, apple slices, and pretzels. In activities, we used hoola-hoops for games like Caterpillar Races and Caterpillar Riot.

● Once again grant monies were received from the Yuma County Department of Human Services to help offset the cost of operating this program.

● We are very fortunate to once again share collaborative efforts with Yuma County Extension Office, Wray High School FCCLA, Wray School District Transportation Department, Wray Community District Hospital, Yuma County Department of Human Services, and numerous volunteers throughout the community.

● A true measure of this program is that many of the kids enjoyed this program so much that they went on to our older MY PHIT program, where they are taught to be mentors to our younger youth. A couple of our current MY PHIT-ers have also returned as volunteers to help with our Kid PHIT program.

M.Y. P.H.I.T. (Mentoring Youth in Physical Health Initial Tasks)● The WRAC is currently in its fourth session of M.Y. P.H.I.T.● MY PHIT is a program aimed at providing mentorship and positive role models for these youth.

This program is targeted at improving citizenry activities, health, and wellness for youth in Yuma

County by providing various activities and mentoring opportunities, meant to build youth by team building and pay-it-forward mentoring and allowing them to discover new healthy snacks and meals.

● The theme for this session of MY PHIT is the Olympics. After asking the previous session’s participants what they wanted to see in upcoming sessions, the decision was unanimous – more competitions. What could be more fitting with their request than the Olympics?! Each week, the students (who have been split up into “countries”) participate in various events including physical challenges, cooking competitions, and teambuilding exercises. This week, they will be doing one of their favorite activities – Iron Chef. The teams will be given a secret ingredient and one hour to create a healthy recipe that will be tasted by a panel of judges. The judges award points for creativity, teamwork, taste, and how healthy the recipe is.

● Monies were received from the Yuma County Department of Human Services to help offset the cost of operating this program.

● Collaborative efforts between the WRAC, Wray Community District Hospital, Yuma County Extension Office, Wray Recreation Department, Wray Police Department, and Yuma County Department of Human Services as well as volunteers throughout the community have made this program possible.

P.H.I.T. Camp (Physical Health Initial Tasks)● Created because we recognized the fact that some children may not have the resources

available to them to have a healthy lunch outside of school. We wanted to help combat that by providing a healthy lunch and physical activity a couple of times each week.

● Last summer was our inaugural session. ● It was held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.● We capped the program off at 30 participants between grades 2nd (must have completed 2nd

grade) through 8th, and all spots were full. They were split up into groups of 10 with one leader per group.

● At each meeting, the groups rotated between Gardening and Crafts, Cooking and Table Setup/Etiquette, and Physical Activities. The Campers also got to go on 4 field trips: they had a tennis-basics lesson with Missy Uyemura; we headed to Wray Golf Course for some golf lessons provided by the golf course staff; Department of Wildlife’s Josh Melby and avid fisherman John Doddridge showed the kids how to fish at Stalker Pond; and we had a last-day-of-camp party at the pool.

● PHIT Camp was a collaborative effort between the WRAC, Yuma County Extension Office, Wray Community District Hospital, Manna Pantry, Yuma County Sheriff’s Department, and Wray School District Transportation Department and is funded by the Yuma County Department of Human Services.

● Donations from Wray Rotary Club, WAFI, United Methodist Women, Wray Lion’s Club/Health Fair, Alco, Quality Farm & Ranch, and the Wray Golf Course as well as many individuals assisted in the success of this first session.
