The anchors of our volunteer program are the bulk mailing crew. These 10 hard working women meet each month to mail more than 4,500 newsletters to Supporting Today's Parents program families. In total, they provide a total of 40 labor hours each month.

Over the years, they have formed a special bond sharing recipes, critiquing movies, and telling jokes and stories that give each other insight into life's many twists and turns. They also liven up our offices with their infectious laughter and captivating conversation.

The vibrant crew includes Barbara Adkins, Madelyn Brissette, Judi Eichinger, Jane Hoppe, Marie Lickteig, Lucy Matson, Delores Olmstead, Edith Stroik, Anne Tanel, and Zita Turkowitch. Together they have a combined total of 80 years of service to Rosalie Manor!

We would like to acknowledge the passing of one of our beloved volunteers of 14 years, Anna Beauchamp. Anna passed away in December, 2003. Judy Eichinger remembers Anna as a "special lady who was quiet, but had wonderful wisdom and could tell grand jokes." Anna was an inspiration to everyone, and she is missed.

Beginning her Rosalie Manor volunteer experience is Heidi Blossy, a UWM–Milwaukee student majoring in social work. Heidi is the Community Learning Center Aide at Washington High School and assists with tutoring students.
