HOME NEWS Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Antonio, Texas
Inc. Volume 30, issue No. 26, Winter 2009
Last April Ronald McDonald House Charities received a wonderful
surprise when Mr. Joseph Calvey, Sr. stopped by the Lewis St. House
with his son, Joey. Joey was interested in doing a service project
for the House and we took them both on a tour. While on the tour,
Mr. Calvey noticed that the windows in the hallways were quite
warm. He asked if we had problems with heat during the summer
months and be-ing a South Texas House we responded with a big YES!
He then informed us that he owned Mother’s Window Tint and would be
interested in donating the tint and installation for the entire
House! This would include all 20 bedrooms, ev-ery hallway, the
manager’s apartment, and even
the sliding glass doors. We were floored! The thought of having
our House tinted was amaz-
ing. Soon after, we met with Mr. Rich Meyer to go over details
and before we knew it, the proj-ect was under way. The entire
installation was done by Mother’s Window Tint employees who donated
their time after work. Since then, we have noticed a huge
improvement in the tem-perature throughout the House and we could
not be happier! We would like to thank all of the in-stallers: Nick
Bean, Chris Trevino, Daniel Mas-siate, Santos Sonora, Travis
Garren, Ricky Soto, Mark Salazar, and Adam Moreno for donating
their time and talents. Thank you to Rick Meyer for organizing and
overseeing the project and a
very special thanks to Joseph Calvey, Sr. for his kindness and
generosity to Ronald McDonald Charities. “The good folks at the San
Antonio Ronald McDonald House gave Mother’s Win-dow Tint the
privilege of doing something nice for the kids that stay there.
Mother’s employees along with Huper Optik donated all the film and
all the labor to put a great film to work for the kids,” said
Joseph Calvey, Sr.
We appreciate all of you and all of the hard work that went into
this fantastic project!

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Wow. Where did the year go? I can’t believe that as I write this
there are less than 70 days left in 2009! As always, this year has
proven to be an exciting and busy one at the Ron-ald McDonald
Houses. We have opened two family rooms in Laredo as an exten-sion
of our chapter – one in the Doctor’s Hospital and the other in the
Laredo Medi-cal Center. Each is unique and very heart-warming and
has quickly become a special place within each hospital as families
are us-ing the rooms on a regular basis. We’ve also upgraded our
Lewis St. House with a brand new laminate wood floor that is just
awesome!
As you prepare for the Holidays and 2010, please remember the
Ronald Mc-Donald Houses in your giving. Birth-day, holiday and
memorial gifts of any denomination are truly welcomed and
appre-ciated, as are in-kind donations of services or donations of
gently used household items.
We have some great events scheduled to carry us through the rest
of the year and even some on the books for 2010 so please mark your
calendars and save the date for:
McHappy Day McDonald’s Restaurant Fundraiser, November 20RMHC
Holiday Parties, December 1, 3 and 8RMHC Golf Tournament, February
8Chair-ity Event, April 10RMHC San Antonio 25th Celebration, May
8
Please visit our website for details and updated information
about these and other House activities and events – w w w. r o n a
l d m c d o n a l d h o u s e - s a . o r g .
We appreciate the ongoing support that the community gives to
our Homes. We greatly appreciate the work that our Executive
Direc-tor Pat Bivin and her staff give to the RMHC Chapter and our
Houses each and every day – we would not be where we are without
them.
From our House to yours, may you have a wonderful and blessed
holiday season.
Kindest regards,Danielle Dobski, Board PresidentRonald McDonald
House Charities of San Antonio
Chair-ity Event New to Ronald McDonald HouseMark your calendar
NOW to reserve Saturday, April 10 for an exciting, new fundraising
event to benefit Ronald McDonald House charities.
Speaking of ‘chair-ities’….wouldn’t you love to see what
exciting ideas local celebrities might come up with to decorate a
special ‘chair’? Wouldn’t you like to make that chair a part of
your home or office décor?
Following the decision to go away from the luncheon format and
try something new, the Board came up with the idea to host a
‘Chair-ity Event’! The simple idea is to invite local celebs to
donate their time and talent by decorating a chair – then
auctioning off those chairs at a fun event!
Add in another exciting facet – the opportunity to host the
event at the brand-new JW Marriott – Hill Country San Antonio - and
you have the makings for a wonderful evening! Located off Evans
Road and TPC Parkway, the Marriott is the site of the new TPC golf
courses and will be opening in early Spring. Our event will be one
of the first held there!This won’t be your standard, stuffy
fundraiser…there will be lots to do and see! So watch for more
exciting details soon about this ‘Chair-ity Event’!

Welcome to the “Family”
Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Antonio is proud to
announce the arrival of two new addi-tions to our family - two new
Family Rooms in Laredo, Texas! The first Family Room, which opened
August 5th, is located at Doctors Hospital inside of their Neonatal
ICU. The Second room, located in Laredo Medical Center Hospital, is
situated next to both the PICU and NICU.
The Family Rooms will serve as respite spaces for families
utilizing these hospitals with their pediatric
patients. They will allow parents an opportunity to rest, relax
and collect themselves while still being a stones throw away from
their children. This, in, turn, will enable them to better focus on
the recovery of their loved ones. The new Family Rooms are equipped
with televisions, washers and dryers, snacks and tons of comfy
furniture. Priscilla Salinas, Director of Marketing Business
Development stated, “We are happy to partner with Ronald McDonald
House Charities of San Anto-nio on this wonderful resource that
will benefit the families of Laredo”. The rooms will be over seen
by hospital staff and volunteers. “The room has been a blessing to
our patients and their families,” said David Gonzalez, Sr.,
Community Rela-tions Coordinator of Doctor’s Hospital.
We are honored to include these two extraordinary medical
facilities in our Ronald McDonald House family and look forward to
a long partnership with the Laredo community to better the
experiences of those families who need us most. WELCOME TO THE
FAMILY!

SHARE YOUR HEARTBy Catherine Killinger
We have sent letters to our local schools regarding Share Your
Heart. We have started to receive the reply cards and so far
everyone has agreed to participate this school year. We will
distribute hearts to the schools in January and collect the funds
in February.
The Program also allows students to earn community service
hours. So it is truly a great program for our local Ronald McDonald
Houses and for the schools/stu-dents giving back to their
community. We have a school that has already booked one Saturday
each month until May 2010. These students come in and make a meal
and serve the same to the families in the house, and interact with
the chil-dren. These students are wonderful. The families are very
appreciative.
If you know of a school, please feel free to contact me at
[email protected]
Tennis Play Day and Luncheon
The 1st annual Friends of Ronald McDonald Houses Tennis Play Day
and Luncheon was held on October 22nd. The weather was not our
friend that day, but we had a wonderful luncheon at Sonterra
Country Club and a fabulous fashion show courtesy of Elizabeth
Eu-ropean Boutique.
We had several silent auction baskets and a beautiful David
Yurman bracelet raffled. The event raised over $5000! We hope to
make this a new Friends tradition! We were able to make up the
tennis portion on October 29th. A big thank you to Michelle Dodi-er
and her staff at Sonterra!!!

KEEPING CURRENTBY PAT BIVINEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
May 2010 the first San Antonio Ron-ald McDonald House will
celebrate 25 years. As you are aware, there has been much growth in
our pro-gram in these years, an addition on our original home, the
opening of two more homes and just in the last three months we
opened two Ron-ald McDonald House Family Rooms in Laredo. Besides
the fact we have added locations, we have also in-creased the
services we provide for the families. More meals are provid-ed than
previously. We pick up milk for the families and home-baked cookies
are always available. We also provide taxi vouchers for families
needing transportation. What has never wavered or changed is our
core mission. The mission of Ron-ald McDonald House Charities of
San Antonio is to operate charitable facilities, which provide safe
tempo-rary living accommodations for criti-cally ill children and
their families while receiving medical treatment. The intent is to
provide a home away from home where families in simi-lar
circumstances can interact and lend and receive mutual support.
The sustainability of our charity has not happened by accident.
We are very fortunate to have always been led by a dedicated but
prudent Board of Directors. Just as importantly they have always
had vision, look-ing for ways to enhance and expand the important
services we provide.
Another extremely important key is our staff. I believe we have
some of the most selfless, dedicated staff that you could find. We
have very little turn over because our staff are like
family and truly care about the fami-lies we serve. They care
about mak-ing a difference and understand that in being part of the
Ronald McDon-ald House Family they get back so much. They are the
ones that are here day in and day out and who not only attend to
the needs of the families but also actually touch their hearts.
Elizabeth Medina, Executive As-sistant, came to us in 1997. She
is highly organized, willing to do whatever needs to be done and is
not afraid to try new things. She has good instincts about peo-ple
and is an excellent listener.
Heather Bivin, Volunteer and Guest Relations, began in 1998. She
has a real love for our families and a gift for telling and making
you truly feel the Ronald McDonald House story.
Ryan Bivin, Santa Rosa House Manager, started as a part-time
em-ployee in 2000. In January 2002 when we opened our third
location he became House Manager. He has great empathy for our
fami-lies and they relate to his sincerity.
Susie Valdez, Medical Center House Manager, retired from the
city. Once she decided to re-enter the workforce she found a home
with RMHC. She has been with us since 2002. She has a smile for
ev-eryone and can make a family feel better even on a very trying
day. Lori Rodriguez Shearer, Infor-mation Specialist, began
part-time in 2003 and then full-time in 2008. Lori is great with
our fami-lies, extremely dependable and al-ways anxious to expand
her skills.
Juanita Muniz Bivin, Lewis St. House Manager, started in 2004.
She has been a quick and eager learner, tak-ing her responsibility
very seriously. She puts in extra effort to make the house
comfortable for the families.
Joyce Galinski, Lewis St. Resident Manager, began as a weekend
manag-er then moved into the Resident Man-ager apartment about 18
months ago. She and her son Noah enjoy inter-acting with the
families at the house.
Doris Hensely is our Medical Cen-ter Resident and Evening
Manager. She and her husband Frank began as our Lewis St. Resident
Managers in 1987. After three years they retired and moved to
Seguin. Frank passed away 5 years ago but Doris decided she wanted
to come back “home” to Ronald McDonald House in 2008. She is
affectionately referred to as “Grandma” by many of the
families.
Jennifer Miears is Evening Manager at Santa Rosa. She started
with us in 2005. She has a real rapport with the families and is
very conscientious.
Natalie Avalos became Eve-ning Manager at Lewis Street in 2006.
She is extremely depend-able and always pleasant to be around. She
has a special bond with the little ones that stay with us.
Additionally, we have a wonder-ful group of caring Weekend
Re-lief Managers who make sure our homes are well looked after when
our daily staff is off. They are an important part of our team.
Cindy Timmins has been Adminis-trative Assistant for the Friends
of Ronald McDonald House for the past ten years. Until recently she
did
-
all of her work from home but has started coming to our Medical
Center of-fice once a week. She is a wonderful ambassador for the
“Friends” who appreciate her for keep-ing their group
organized.
On a personal note, as you can see there are several “Bivin”
family members listed. When I began 24 years ago my children,
Heather and Ryan, spent many hours at the Ronald McDonald House
while I worked. They napped under my desk and spent happy times
playing with the children living with us. They grew up
understand-ing and appreciating the vital role Ronald McDon-ald
House Charities plays in our community. I could not be more proud
of the adults they have become
or more honored that they also have chosen to serve the families
of Ronald Mc-Donald House. In April of this year Ryan and Juanita
Muniz married. She had been part of the RMH family for 5 years and
it is now nice to welcome her to the “Bivin” family.
Working at our Ronald McDonald Houses is not a “job”- it is a
calling. We
are extremely fortunate to have found such dedicated staff to
devote their days to easing just a little of the struggle families
of critical-ly ill children face. I thank each of you for making my
job a little easier and our houses much more like a “home”. Your
work does not go unnoticed and you are appreciated.

Membership Wine and Cheese
On October 8th, the Friends of the Ronald McDonald Houses held a
wine and cheese party at the beautiful estate of Trey and Nan-cy
Batchelder. We had great support from our current Friends and
signed up many new Friends that evening, including a Life Member!
Big thanks to Tracy Gilmer and Wendy Hammond for organizing this
fun evening.
E v e n i n g M e a l s Thus far the “Evening Meals Program” has
been a great success. Thank you to all those ladies that have been
so generous with their time to get meals to our families. It is now
November and I am in need of volunteers for the next few weeks. We
pro-vide prepared meals every Tuesday alternating between the Lewis
Street house and the Medical Center house. It doesn’t take much
time nor much expense but is so appreciated by the families. It is
also a great way for high school students to get community ser-vice
hours for those college applications. If you can help please
contact me at [email protected] or call me at 413-6714.
Thanks ahead of time and I look forward to working with you
wonderful ladies. Janie Kampschmidt
