FROM THE DESK OF FATHER BLANEY... 

Have you ever seen such beautiful colors in the fall trees. Our sunset maples 

are outstanding. 

We inaugurated a new gazebo the other night. Had supper in it with 31 people 

in attendance. All of them as varied as the colors of the trees. We sat around and 

playfully kidded each other. You’d swear we were in a pub in Ireland sans alcohol. 

And we sang some old camp songs. One was Silent Night in duck language. No 

one really wanted to leave. Community here is a beautiful, multi-splendored thing. 

Each person is different but adds to the beautiful scene. Come out and enjoy the 

real beauty of these days. We’ve got grass starting in the new village. We are 

picking up black walnuts, harvesting the red raspberries and apples making our red 

raspberry applesauce. There are a few promptings necessary but fewer and fewer. 

God is good. 

We went out on a limb in building the third village. It will take all of our regular 

income to maintain it and the other two villages and more. And we need to pay off 

the construction loan. We trust in God through your kindness. God bless you!

a dance break. Come join us on Saturday, November 13 th at 6:30 p.m.


THOUGHTS FROM THE EXECUTIVE 

DIRECTOR 

By Kathleen Kelly 

I always look at Thanksgiving as a time of reflection on the many blessings 

God has so generously provided. This year there is much to be thankful for with 

the opening of the 3 rd village at Sharing Meadows and the addition of new 

Villagers and stewards to our community. I am especially thankful for the joy of 

community as we celebrate the 10 th anniversary of the residential program at 

Sharing Meadows! 

Ten years of alternate living, ten years of growth is something to celebrate! 

When we purchased the land, we were full of hopes and dreams of a peaceful 

place where people – no matter what their abilities were – would be valued for 

who they are, not what they could do. Years of successful summer camps made 

us realize that other abled adults thrived in a community setting and needed one 

for full time living, not just once a year in the summer. So many people predicted 

that a residential community would never work without funding and direction from 

the state. We believed that it was possible without state support and we were 

determined to make it work with faith, tenacity, and good old-fashioned physical 

labor. 

There was so much to do and we faced each task with faith that this was what 

God wanted us to do and we went forward – building and furnishing the homes, 

hiring staff, determining criteria for residency, establishing policies and selecting 

villagers. The first Villagers moved in on November 1, 1994 and the dream of the 

residential community of Sharing Meadows was a reality! 

I can still see the excitement on the faces of the Villagers as they moved into 

their new home. I can still feel the excitement in my heart in realizing that we had 

helped them to achieve this milestone with many more to come. The Villagers 

were enthusiastic about their new home, their new friends and the chance to live 

independently and we were determined to do whatever was necessary to help 

them achieve success. 

Now I look at the residential program 10 years later and I am filled with 

gratitude for the many blessings God has given us. Sharing Meadows has seen 

so much growth in the past 10 years! We have grown to include 3 villages, the St. 

Timothy Center camp building, a swimming pool and pool house, an additional 

storage building and a soon to come guest house. And while the physical 

changes on the grounds of Sharing Meadows are impressive, the most significant 

and gratifying changes we’ve witnessed is the incredible growth in each of our 

Villagers. They’ve learned new skills, strengthened friendships, welcomed 

visitors, served as our ambassadors, gained maturity, and experienced joy in the 

community of Sharing Meadows. Each one of them helps to make Sharing 

Meadows the special place that it is as they share their own unique gifts with each 

other and visitors to our land. Like the thousands of trees that have been planted 

on the grounds, the Villagers have blossomed and grown as they work at 

becoming the person God created them to be and we have been witnesses to this 

awesome growth. 

One of the Villagers mentioned to me recently that next month marks the 3 rd 

anniversary of when she moved to Sharing Meadows. I answered her with 

honesty that I can hardly remember what it was like before she lived here because 

she, like all of the Villagers, is such a vital part of the community. As I look back 

at the last 10 years, I remember all of the good and a few not so good times, and 

especially recognize the tremendous growth I have been privileged to be a part 

of. My heart is full of gratitude this Thanksgiving as I thank God for the community 

of Sharing Meadows and realize that the best is yet to come!


30 YEARS OF 

GOOD NEWS 

This issue marks the 30 th 

Anniversary of the Share 

Foundation’s Good News letter that 

brings news of the happenings at 

Sharing Meadows to the homes of 

many people in Northwest Indiana 

and even across the country. In the 

beginning the Good News was a 

typewriter-produced page sent from 

the Sacred Heart Parish in Michigan 

City. It has grown since then into a 

professionally produced publication 

thanks to generosity of McKay 

Printing. McKay Printing donates 

the Good News to the Share 

Foundation every month! The 

mailing list has grown to over 10,000 

households. It is such a large 

project that it takes the entire 

community of Sharing Meadows and 

a group of volunteers to work 

together on the first Monday of each 

month to label and send out the 

Good News. Many of the volunteers 

are friends who have been coming 

for many years and drive all the way 

to Rolling Prairie from Michigan City. 

Other volunteers have a family 

member at Sharing Meadows and 

come to support the program and to 

have a good time with friends and 

family. The Good News could not go 

out without them! 

Thank you to all of our readers, 

volunteers and the great people at 

McKay printing. We look forward to 

many more years of the Good News! 

If you know of anyone who would 

like to receive the Good News, 

please contact Mandee at 219-778- 

2585 and she will add them to our 

mailing list! 

HAPPY 

THANKSGIVING 

The Villagers, Stewards and 

staff of the Share Foundation would 

like to wish you and your family a 

very happy and joyful Thanksgiving 

holiday. We will be thinking of you 

on Thanksgiving as we do everyday 

when we give thanks to God for your 

loyal support and dedication. The 

Share Foundation’s programs could 

not exist without your help and we 

are all grateful! Happy 

Thanksgiving!


PLANNED GIVING CORNER 

A Review of Bequests 

A bequest is a legal provision made by a will naming, for instance, Share Foundation as recipient of the whole or 

a portion of an individual’s personal estate. Please consider adding to your will a contingent or residual bequest clause 

naming the Share Foundation. Bequests to Share Foundation will reduce the federal estate tax and, in most cases, 

state taxes on your estate. A bequest can take many forms: unrestricted, specific, residual, or contingent. Anyone can 

have bequests of this type added to their existing will without disturbing their existing estate plan: 

************************************************************************************************************************************* 

Unrestricted Bequest 

Unrestricted Bequest: the simplest form of bequest whereby a person bequeaths a stated amount to the Share 

Foundation without any conditions attached. 

Example: I give to the Share Foundation _________dollars ($) or ________% of my net estate to be used 

for its general purposes. 

Unrestricted bequests are always welcome. At the discretion of the Foundation’s board of directors, they may be 

expended for any immediate and pressing need approved by or reserved for future use. 

************************************************************************************************************************************* 

Specific Bequest 

Specific Bequest: permits an individual to leave a specific dollar amount, or a stated percentage of his or her entire 

estate, a specific asset, or a collection of assets to the Share Foundation. 

Example: I give to the Share Foundation _________dollars ($) or _______% of my net estate. This gift shall 

be used both as to principal and income for (describe the specific purpose to be served by the gift)_______. 

A specific bequest may be used to construct or add to a building or for the restoration of one. It may be used to 

purchase equipment, books, operating expenses or other supplies. Some specific bequests, because of undue 

restrictions, may have their usefulness demeaned by changing times and needs. Use of a corrective clause is 

recommended. 

************************************************************************************************************************************* 

Residual Bequest 

Residual Bequest: a conditional bequest based on the balance of the estate after specific bequests have been 

satisfied. At that time, the Share Foundation would receive all or a percentage of the balance that remains. 

Example: All the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, wherever situated, I 

give, devise and bequeath to the Share Foundation. 

************************************************************************************************************************************* 

A Bequest Naming Foundation as a Contingent Beneficiary 

Contingent Bequest: a bequest which reflects an “if possible” situation. The Share Foundation will receive a bequest 

if the beneficiary of a specific bequest predeceases the maker of the will. 

Example: I give to the Share Foundation as a contingent beneficiary _______dollars ($) or _______% of my 

net estate. 

The donor’s will should provide for the contingency that named beneficiaries may not survive him. Should this 

happen, his estate will be distributed by the Probate Court as intestate property-often contrary to the donor’s wishes. 

To avoid this, a donor may name the Share Foundation as a contingent beneficiary.


SPECIAL THANKS 

All of us at Share Foundation 

would like to take the opportunity 

during this season of Thanksgiving 

to offer a word of thanks to the 

wonderful people at McKay Printing 

Services for their generosity in 

printing the GOOD NEWS each 

month at no charge. Former owners 

Lloyd and Terry Pagels and Ken 

Kelley began the tradition of 

donating the printing of the 

newsletter for us in May 1999 and 

when new owners Tom and Laurel 

Kuczynski purchased the business 

in the fall of 2003, they continued it. 

Throughout the past five and a half 

years, Betty Benner of McKay 

Printing has worked on the layout of 

the newsletter each month, taking 

pride in producing a professional 

piece that we are proud to mail to 

your home. We offer our deepest 

thanks to Tom and Laurel for their 

generosity and to Betty for her 

caring nature. May God bless them 

abundantly! When you offer your 

own prayer of thanks on 

Thanksgiving Day, say an extra one 

for the good people at McKay 

Printing Services!
