Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Antonio, Texas Inc. Volume 30, issue No. 26, Winter 2009
MOTHER’S WINDOw T I N T
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 being
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, every
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 project
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 temperature
throughout the House and we could not
be happier! We would like to thank all of the installers:
Nick Bean, Chris Trevino, Daniel Massiate,
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 Window
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 Ronald
McDonald Houses. We have opened
two family rooms in Laredo as an extension
of our chapter – one in the Doctor’s
Hospital and the other in the Laredo Medical
Center. Each is unique and very heartwarming
and has quickly become a special
place within each hospital as families are using
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. Birthday,
holiday and memorial gifts of any
denomination are truly welcomed and appreciated,
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:

Chair-ity Event New to Ronald McDonald House
Mark 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 additions
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
Laredo Medical Center
families utilizing these hospitals with their pediatric Doctors Hospital of Laredo
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 Antonio
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 Relations
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 HEART
By 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/students
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 children.
These students are wonderful. The families are very appreciative.
If you know of a school, please feel free to contact me at catkillinger@gmail.com
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 Dodier
and her staff at Sonterra!!!
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 European
Boutique.

KEEPING CURRENT
BY PAT BIVIN
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
May 2010 the first San Antonio Ronald
McDonald House will celebrate
25 years. As you are aware, there
has been much growth in our program
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 Ronald
McDonald House Family Rooms
in Laredo. Besides the fact we have
added locations, we have also increased
the services we provide for
the families. More meals are provided
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 Ronald
McDonald House Charities of
San Antonio is to operate charitable
facilities, which provide safe temporary
living accommodations for critically
ill children and their families
while receiving medical treatment.
The intent is to provide a home away
from home where families in similar
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, looking
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 families
we serve. They care about making
a difference and understand that
in being part of the Ronald McDonald
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 Assistant,
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 people
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 employee
in 2000. In January 2002
when we opened our third location
he became House Manager. He
has great empathy for our families
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 everyone
and can make a family feel
better even on a very trying day.
Lori Rodriguez Shearer, Information
Specialist, began parttime
in 2003 and then full-time in
2008. Lori is great with our families,
extremely dependable and always
anxious to expand her skills.
Juanita Muniz Bivin, Lewis St. House
Manager, started in 2004. She has
been a quick and eager learner, taking
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 manager
then moved into the Resident Manager
apartment about 18 months ago.
She and her son Noah enjoy interacting
with the families at the house.
Doris Hensely is our Medical Center
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 Evening
Manager at Lewis Street in
2006. She is extremely dependable
and always pleasant to be
around. She has a special bond
with the little ones that stay with us.
Additionally, we have a wonderful
group of caring Weekend Relief
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 Administrative
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 office
once a week. She is
a wonderful ambassador
for the “Friends” who
appreciate her for keeping
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 understanding
and appreciating the
vital role Ronald McDonald
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 critically
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 Nancy
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 provide
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 service
hours for those college applications. If you can help please
contact me at jkampschmidt2@satx.rr.com or call me at 413-6714.
Thanks ahead of time and I look forward to working with you
wonderful ladies. Janie Kampschmidt
