From the President’s Desk
It’s hard to believe that 2005 is more than halfway
over. What an eventful and productive year it has
been thus far! To simply classify it as a banner year
would not begin to give you an idea of what we’ve
been up to and the purposeful lifestyle our residents
are living.
With the arrival of spring came a number of outdoor
activities and seasonal events at each of our campuses. Like spring,
summer has shed its share of memorable fun and fellowship and has
served as a refresher from life’s demanding schedules.
From observing National Nursing Home Week with festivities for residents
and employees, to celebrating Magnolia Days, which featured a Low
Country Boil and live music, to presenting residents’ paintings at our first
ever art show, to visiting with friends and supporters at the South Georgia
Annual Conference of the UMC, the warm season has kept Magnolia
Manor on the go.
In addition to being the month during which we celebrate high school
and college graduations, May is also the time of year when we reserve an
entire day to honor our mothers. At any one of Magnolia Manor’s seven
campuses, the majority of the residents are women – many who are
mothers and some who are financially strapped. Each year, Magnolia
Manor’s annual Mother’s Day campaign raises money for our charitable
arm, the League of the Good Samaritan. Every dollar from this offering
goes directly to the League, which provides financial assistance for these
residents.
Perhaps this year was the first time you gave to the Mother’s Day
Offering, or maybe it’s one of many years you’ve generously given.
However long, I thank you. Thank you for celebrating the occasion with
us and know that every donation truly makes a difference in an older
adult’s life.
On the heels of Mother’s Day and following an eventful June, in July,
Magnolia Manor experienced expansion. Exactly one year after adding
Magnolia Manor of Marion County, on July 1, Magnolia Manor of
Macon County began operation to become the Manor’s eighth campus.
Formerly the Ideal Health Care Center, Magnolia Manor purchased the
facility from Sumter Regional Hospital. Magnolia Manor of Macon
County is comprised of 100 beds and provides skilled nursing care.
The past year has brought a tremendous amount of growth for our
ministry. With each new campus, we are able to minister to a new population
of older adults. I thank each of our friends and supporters for
their prayers and financial assistance in this journey of Christian service.
Not just at Mother’s Day, but throughout the year your support equips us
to fulfill our mission of ministering to South Georgia’s older adults. We
are a business, but more importantly, we are a ministry. Understanding
and fulfilling our residents’ needs and being ever mindful of their wellbeing
is the foundation of Magnolia Manor.

Cheerful

Smiles
that
speak
A special series on Magnolia Manor’s many philanthropic residents.
Young girls from Belize proudly wear their new sundresses.
When Magnolia Manor of
Macon residents Audrey Gray
and Rose Barnett first entertained
the idea of moving to a
retirement community, they
didn’t have to think twice
about where to go. Without a
question, Magnolia Manor of
Macon was their first choice.
Although they share the same
opinion about Magnolia
Manor’s beautiful Macon campus,
they are otherwise strikingly
different.
The odds that Audrey, an 84-
year old Methodist who lived
on a farm in Danville, and
Rose, a 75-year old Lutheran
who lived on Lake Tobesofkee
in Macon, would cross paths
were slim. Yet, these two
ladies from diverse backgrounds
have
found a common
“thread”.
Both residents
are retired from
well-known companies
in Central
Georgia - Audrey
from BillJo, an
apparel company
in Dublin, and
Rose from Macy’s
in Macon. Their
combined careers
totaled 45 years.
Unlike most people
who retire, planning to
relinquish the demanding
responsibilities that have consumed
much of their life,
Audrey and Rose didn’t officially
quit. The call to volunteer
summoned them
to dust off their
sewing machines and
locate their pin cushions
to sew clothes for
children of thirdworld
countries.
“I first read about
the missions project in
my church bulletin,”
explained Audrey, a
lifelong member of
Danville First United
Methodist Church.
“Our pastor’s wife,
Grace Whicker, asked
for anyone interested in enjoying
a time of fellowship and
sewing to join her at a neighboring
church, Allentown
UMC, to make clothes to send
to children in orphanages
abroad.”
On the second Monday and
Tuesday of every month,
Audrey travels south on I-16
for a day of sewing. Known as
the Agape Stitchers, 15 ladies
gather to visit and to sew. “We
usually begin around 9 a.m.
and finish in the afternoon,”
Audrey said. “Each of us
takes turns preparing lunch.
We really have a lot of fun.”
Naturally, the group of sewers
is comprised only of ladies,
however Audrey rightly added
that the men contribute to the
project.
“They help pay for the fabric,
which has been wonderful.
Whether they give time or
money, we are appreciative.”
Since the activity’s rollout in
September 2003, the sewers
have made nearly 2000 items,
which have included dresses,

Audrey Gray (l) and Rose Barnett make for
orphaned children around the world.

“Volunteers” Continued shirts,
shorts, pants, ponchos, baby
blankets and backpacks. All
handmade and hand delivered
to needy children. From
Costa Rica to Mexico to
Nicaragua to Uganda, the
Agape Stitchers’ clothes have
traveled thousands of miles to
make many less-fortunate children
proud.
“In our first shipment, we
made teddy bears to accompany
the new clothes,” explained
Audrey. “Every child needs a
cute stuffed animal. It’s a wonderful
feeling knowing that we
can make these children happy
by simply providing new
clothes.”
One year later, in September
2004, Rose heard about the
philanthropic activity from a
relative of hers in Chicago.
Around the same time, she
discovered that one of her
neighbors was involved in the
volunteer effort.
“I found out Audrey was
already involved in it, so I
talked to her to get more
information about her sewing
group,” Rose explained. “My
first job at Macy’s was in alterations
and having worked in
apparel for so many years, I
knew this was something I
would like to be a part of.”
After her conversation with
Audrey, Rose was interested in
starting a sewing group at her
church, The Lutheran Church
of the Redeemer. Faithfully,
every Wednesday for three
hours, Rose and three other
church members, better
4 Magnolia Manor
known as the Crafty Ladies,
meet to sew. From red polkadot
sundresses to blue and
white plaid shorts, the Crafty
Ladies have made over 300
clothing items.
“I don’t know of anything
better than doing for others,”
commented Rose. “I absolutely
love it. We can’t wait until
Wednesday to meet and to
show one another our
progress.”
Alongside the tag team of
Audrey and Rose is Clara
Bryant, another Magnolia
Manor of Macon resident who
also knew where she’d retire
and who is avidly missionminded
as well. Though her
ministry serves children much
closer to home, just an hour
away, Clara’s efforts also help
to brighten others’ lives.
For the past year, she and a
life-long best friend, Ann
Sullivan, have teamed up to
make pillowcases for children
at Egleston Children’s Hospital
in Atlanta. Although sewing is
not a love of Clara’s, caring
for children is. It’s what she’s
done her entire life. Prior to
retiring, she owned a day-care
center in Macon. Most
notably, Kindercare was the
first in Macon to offer 24-
hour day care.
“Our [Kindercare] goal was
to accommodate working parents
who were nurses, doctors
or others’ professions that
required night shifts,” said
Clara. “I’ve always taken care
of children. They are my love,
which made daycare a perfect
profession for me.”
Since moving to Magnolia
Manor of Macon 10 years ago,
Clara has been involved in
numerous local volunteer
activities. Much of her time
has been spent feeding the
hungry at the city’s Food Bank
and serving as a hostess at
Wesleyan College’s special
events. Through the years, she
has been an active community
advocate in the city she’s
grown up in and loves.
However, when she read a letter
in an issue of The Macon
Telegraph requesting new, purchased
or handmade pillowcases
for hospitalized children,
volunteering for Clara would
take on a whole new meaning.
“My younger son Buddy was
born with a cleft palette and
had surgery at Egleston,”
explained Clara, “so this article
hit home with me.” Instead of
flipping the page, she clipped

New Faces
New Phase of Life
and a
After 12 years of faithful service, Magnolia Manor’s
Chaplain Rev. John Brodess retired from full-time status
on June 14. Brodess, who has served the past 33
years in the South Georgia Annual Conference of the
United Methodist Church, is starting a new phase of
life as a retiree. He will, however, remain a part of the
Magnolia Manor family as a part-time chaplain.
A celebration
dinner in
honor of
Rev.
Brodess
was held
on May 31
on the
Americus
campus.

members convened in the Magnolia and Camellia
Rooms to enjoy dinner and to thank him for his pastoral
support, friendship and sense of humor.
Following dinner, Vice President for Church
Relations Rev. Robert Beckum thanked Rev. Brodess
for his ministry to Magnolia Manor’s older adults and
presented him with a certificate of appreciation and a
gift of gratitude. President & CEO Mark R. Todd
presented two monetary gifts to the Retirement and
Nursing Centers in honor of Rev. Brodess and commended
him for his loving service and commitment
to Magnolia Manor.
“Thank you, John for being a friend, an encourager,
a listener and a spiritual leader for the residents as
well as for the employees. You are passionate about
older adults and this ministry and I’m happy you’ll
remain with us part-time.”
Taking the reins to lead the Spiritual Care
Program as Assistant Vice President of Spiritual Care
is Rev. Dennis Stalvey. In addition to the Americus
campus, Stalvey is responsible for providing pastoral
support at the Manor’s
Buena Vista, Ideal, Macon
and Moultrie facilities.
A native of Hahira,
Georgia, Stalvey received his
B.S. in Secondary Education
and Social Science from Valdosta
State University. In 1983, he graduat-

coming to Magnolia Manor, Stalvey served as pastor
of Fort Valley UMC. Other churches he has served
include Midway UMC, Albany First UMC, St. Johns
UMC and Bloomfield UMC. He and his wife Jerita
have three sons.
Joining Reverends Brodess and Stalvey in the
Spiritual Care Program is Rev. Whit Byram. Byram,
who previously served as associate
pastor of Wesley Monumental UMC,
is the director of Spiritual Care for
Magnolia Manor’s three coastal communities
located in Richmond Hill, St.
Simons and St. Marys.
A graduate of the University of
Whit Byram
Georgia with a Bachelor’s of Business
in Accounting, Byram received his
Master’s of Divinity degree from Asbury Theological
Seminary. In addition to his most recent position,
Byram served as chaplain of St. Joseph’s Hospital in
Lexington while in seminary. He and his wife Katy
have a daughter.
Another new face at Magnolia Manor is Americus
native Jane House, who joins the staff as administrator
of the Americus Retirement Center and the independent
living areas. Hill Fort, who most recently
served as administrator of the Americus Nursing
Center, will expand his leadership responsibilities as
campus administrator.
House, who holds a B.S. in Business Administration
from Georgia Southwestern University, previously
served as the financial services manager
for the The Tog Shop, Inc. In addition
to being an advocate for the American
Heart Association, House supports the

Viewpoints: Cookouts, Socials & Games
Commemorate Nat’l Nursing Home Week
Hill Fort, Administrator, Magnolia Manor Americus
Magnolia Manor’s Nursing Center celebrated
National Nursing Home Week May 9-13. The
eventful week consisted of a host of exciting and
entertaining activities that generated much fellowship
and camaraderie for both the residents and
the staff.
The week kicked off with a traditional cookout
of grilled hamburgers and hotdogs with all the
trimmings for the residents and staff on Unit One
and Five. On Tuesday, the residents competed
against the employees in a volleyball match held
on the front lawn. According to the residents,
they went easy on the staff and allowed them to
win!
A highlight of the week was on Wednesday at
Magnolia Manor’s first ever tug-of-war competition.
Staff members fiercely pulled and tugged
against each other, vying for the win. After several
rounds, employees from the Administrative
Building and the Nursing Center’s support staff
pulled off the win!
Nearing the end of the week, on Thursday, we
held another cookout for the remaining sections.
Following lunch, the Nursing Center named its
2005 King and Queen. The busy week cooled
down on Friday with a refreshing ice-cream social
in the front lobby.
From the friendly competitions to the outdoor
cookouts, National Nursing Home Week was a lot
of fun and a tremendous success. The week
brought a change in pace, which we gladly welcomed.
It also gave the residents as well as the
staff the opportunity to join closer together to
express their appreciation for one another.
As those of us at the Nursing Center continue to
strive to be the best we can be, I would like to
thank each staff member and resident who
worked hard to make the week’s events possible.
We’ll all remember the week of fellowship fondly.
Until next time, we look forward to another
prosperous year as we focus on being servant leaders.

Viewpoints: The Long-Term Care Cruise
Rich DeLong, Administrator, Magnolia Manor on the Coast
I came across an interesting article a few months
ago regarding an idea to transform a cruise ship into
a long-term care facility. Weeks prior to reading this
article I received an e-mail joke that compared living
conditions of luxury liners to that of a retirement
community. The jest was that with the rising
cost of health care, one could receive the same
perks and services while cruising the high seas, and
have more money in the bank at the end of the
month.
I have always heard about the fun of cruise vacations,
so I decided it was time to perform a little
research of my own. My wife, Jennifer, and I set sail
in late April with 10 of our friends for an extended
weekend. I decided to use five categories to determine
how Magnolia Manor on the Coast (MMC)
compared to our ship, Sovereign of the Seas
(SOTS)! The categories included: safety, service,
dining, activities and accommodations.
The first thing we did upon boarding the boat was
a safety check. Everyone on the ship had to don a
6 Magnolia Manor
life jacket, proceed to the correct deck and note the
procedure for boarding the life rafts. Hmmm…I
always preach safety first – but I prefer a retreat to
firmer ground. Score 1 Point for MMC for safety.
I was amazed to discover that our ship could hold
over 2600 passengers and close to 900 staff members.
Wow! That’s about a 3:1 ratio – not bad. We
have just over 90 residents at MMC and 30 staff
that cook, clean, drive, shop, serve and support our
residents as needed. Hey, what do you know, looks
like we break even on this one. I have to admit
however, there’s no way we can top those neat animals
they make out of your bath towels. Let’s give
a point to each for service. The score is 2 to 1 in
favor of MMC.
I must say dining is a pleasure on your cruise. I
have never seen so much food in my entire life. The
variety of cuisine was impressive. But I must also
remember that I fell in love with Jennifer when she
introduced me to southern cooking. (Sorry folks,
but nothing beats fried chicken, biscuits, squash
casserole, butter beans and a warm slice of pecan
pie.) Another toss-up. Score a point each for dining.
The score is 3-2, still in Continued on Next Page

“Viewpoints” Continued favor of MMC.
Activities are plentiful on the ship. You can play
bingo and Bridge, line dance, watch a movie, enjoy
live entertainment, exercise in the pool, or just relax in
the sun. Come to think of it, you can do all this at
Magnolia Manor on the Coast! Plus we have Terrific
Tuesdays, Tutti Fruiti Fridays, Mystery Tours and Tai
Chi. Score 1 point for MMC. The score is now MMC
4 and SOTS 2.
Our last area for review was accommodations. I’m
not sure where to begin with this category. If you
have ever been on a cruise ship you know what I’m
talking about. The only possible opportunity for
points would be the fact that you will probably never
fall in the bathroom, that is, if you can get into the
bathroom. Once you’re in, there is very little room
for movement. In fact, let’s be honest, the entire
cabin is a sardine can, but you’re not there to sleep
anyway. Score 1 point for MMC for their 1 and 2 bedroom
accommodations.
Final score – MMC 5, Sovereign of the Seas 2. I’m sure
I will have to follow-up with a more in-depth study on
the possibilities of a Long-Term Care Cruise Liner,
but in the meantime, I think it is fair to say that retirement
living at Magnolia Manor is a value that is hard
to beat. Bon Voyage! MM
Save the Date
for a putting good time!
Magnolia Manor of
Macon’s 11th annual

Youmans and Howell Named
to Magnolia Manor’s Board
Magnolia Manor’s Board
recently welcomed two new
trustees to its 33-member
panel.
Mr. George Youmans, president of Youmans
Chevrolet in Macon, was chosen to serve on
the Board at the Trustees’ spring meeting. A
native of Macon, Youmans is a graduate of
the United States Naval Academy with a
B.S. in Engineering. He also holds a
M.B.A. from the University of
Virginia.
In addition to Magnolia Manor’s
Board of Trustees, Youmans serves
on Wesley Glen Ministries
Foundation Board, is an active member
of the Salvation Army’s advisory
board in Macon, is a trustee of the Georgia
Automobile Dealers Workers’ Compensation
Board and is past president of the Georgia
Automobile Dealers Association.
He and his wife, Anne, have three grown
children and are members of Vineville UMC.
Also joining Magnolia Manor’s Board of
Trustees is Rev. Marshall Howell, who in June
was appointed superintendent
of the Savannah District of
the United Methodist Church.
A graduate of the
Interdenominational
Theological Seminary in Atlanta, Howell began
serving in the South Georgia Annual
Conference of the UMC in 1984. Churches he
has served include Palen UMC in Savannah,
Grace UMC in Brunswick and St.
Andrews/Horse Creek in Screven
County. He has also served
appointments at Mt. Zion UMC
and the St. Marys Circuit.
At each of Howell’s appointments,
he has been actively involved
in the local community. Currently, he
serves on the United Way of Screven County
Board, Memorial Health University Medical
Center Board and is a member of the Screven
County Community Collaborative.
Howell and his wife, Frances, who is also a
United Methodist pastor, have two grown
sons. MM
“Volunteers” continued and responded to the
request.
“My heart goes out to these children and
their parents,” Clara said. “I’ve been there and
now it’s my turn to help.”
Since sewing is not one of Clara’s favorite
pastimes, she doesn’t own a sewing machine,
yet she wanted to send handmade pillowcases
to the children. So, she recruited Ann to help.
“I select the fabric, cut out the patterns and
then Ann sews the pillowcases,” said Clara as
she unfolded a recently completed colorful
batch. “Our system works out well.”
In one year, Clara has sent 11 beautifully
sewn pillowcases to Egleston to brighten children’s
beds and she has another 21 ready to be
delivered.
“I’ve always done whatever I could to help
out a child,” claimed Clara. “They hold a special
place in my heart and this is one way I can
help.”
Between Audrey, Rose and Clara, their time
spent volunteering shows children near and far
that they are loved and cared for. MM

Every Gift Touches a Life
The League of the Good Samaritan, Rev. Robert Beckum, VP for Church Relations
In the parable of the Good
Samaritan, godliness and neighborliness
get all mixed in together.
The love of God is expressed through love for
neighbor, and love for neighbor is defined by God’s
love for us. In the story, we don’t get to pick and
choose our neighbors. The only choice we have is to
choose what kind of neighbor we will be for others.
“Which person in the story do you think was a godly
neighbor?” Jesus asked the religious expert in the
story. The expert replied, “The one who showed
mercy.” I never cease to be amazed at the way this
story is brought to life every day by your generous
support of the League of the Good Samaritan.
Through your gifts, you are the ones who show
mercy. I don’t know if the man mugged on the
Jericho road ever sent a thank you note to the
Samaritan, but I receive letters of gratitude every day
for the mercy you show. Please listen to some of our
residents’ families in their own words.
Dear League of the Good Samaritan: “How can we ever
adequately thank you. You have not only taken care of my
mother when she could not care for herself, but you have truly
given her a home in the last years of her life because the wonderful
staff loved her as they cared for her.”
Dear League of the Good Samaritan: “My father passed
away leaving my mother a widow after fifty three years of marriage.
My mother’s grief over my father’s death was compounded
by her own declining health. Her eyesight dimmed and her
strength ebbed. Our family feared that mother was simply losing
her will to live. Things were made even worse when she fell
and broke her hip. Little could we realize at that bleak
moment, in her hour of greatest need, that God was sending
her a blessing and relief in the form of Magnolia Manor and
The League of the Good Samaritan. Through the care and
rehabilitation mother received at Magnolia Manor she was able
to fully recover from hip replacement surgery. Because of love
with which the staff surrounded her and new friendships
formed, mother also recovered her confidence in life itself and a
joy for living.
How is it possible to say thank you enough for giving mother
back her life? Magnolia Manor and The League of the
Good Samaritan is one of the most needed and most Christlike
ministries I know and I thank God for you.”
Dear League of the Good Samaritan: “If people don’t
think God answers prayers, they need to know my mother’s
story. Last year my mother began a gradual descent into giving
up on herself. She was not eating right, her sleeping habits were
altered, and she began mixing up her medicines. She was hospitalized
near the point of death. Even though she recovered,
doctors told us she would have to have assisted care living. We
prayed for help which came in the form of Magnolia Manor
and The League of the Good Samaritan. Because the League
enabled my mother to live at Magnolia Manor, mom is back
to the mom we once knew. I don’t know who the supporters of
the League of the Good Samaritan are, but please thank them
for me. Thank them for rescuing my mother and adding precious
years to her life.”
On behalf of these and many other families, thank
you for being one who shows mercy to others
through your financial gifts to the League of the
Good Samaritan. MM
Thanks to Coastal Electric Cooperative Foundation and Isle of
Hope UMC, Magnolia Manor on the Coast has a new horticulture
house. The new greenhouse will soon feature raised gardens,
which will allow residents to enjoy the therapeutic benefits
of gardening and planting flowers and herbs without suffering
from back-pain. Even those who lack a green thumb
will be able to enjoy the seasonal vegetables and vibrant flowers
that will be grown in the horticulture house.

18 Magnolia Manor

If you had a million dollars
in your bank account to give to
Magnolia Manor, how would
you make the gift?
Would you send a personal check through the mail?
Probably not.
Would you drive to the president’s office, walk in
and personally hand him a check? Maybe.
Would you call the Development Office and request
someone to come and get the check? Perhaps.
Would you give the money as an unrestricted gift, to
be used however the Manor wishes? Possibly.
Would you want your gift to go to a specific purpose,
such as building construction or endowment growth?
Could be.
The point is, making a sizable gift to Magnolia
Manor or any nonprofit organization requires a
variety of considerations. And, really, “sizeable” is
On Giving a Million
McDonald Willis
a relative term. It may be $25,000 to one donor or
may be a $1 million gift to another. In fact, even a
gift of $10,000 can cause considerable deliberation.
We in the Development Office of Magnolia
Manor understand the dynamics of gift giving and
realize that philanthropic satisfaction relates not
only to the size of a gift, but to such things as
how it is given, who is involved, when it occurs
and what it accomplishes. We appreciate concerns
relating to privacy and family issues. We know that
giving can have emotional dimensions far beyond
the value of the gift.
Our gift-planning specialists are prepared to
assist you not only in transferring a gift of any
size to Magnolia Manor, but also in helping you
deal with various questions and concerns along
the way. You will find us knowledgeable, skillful,
courteous and respectful of your wishes.
To talk to us about a possible gift, use the
response form below, or call the Development
Office toll free at 866-924-9352, ext. 5928. You
can also reach us through our website at
