Roots & Wings

In our lives there are myriad influences that both tether us to the ground and set us free at the same time, like a family heritage that anchors us and a teacher who stokes our dreams. Taken beyond the individual, this concept – well-tended structures and nurtured hopes – is a necessary element for the success of the entire community. The practical, professional approach of the Community Foundation of Elmira-Corning and the Finger Lakes, Inc. provides both roots and wings to a great number of people and organizations throughout the region. By shoring up those among us who need support, we connect them to their dwelling and free them to be of service to themselves and others. Sow your own seeds and see what takes root… and flight.

At first glance they look like two separate graphics, and Board Chair’s Message until one notices the birds are actually transformed images of the leaves themselves. Roots… and Wings! We’ve been thinking about and working to achieve this concept since the very beginning of the Community Foundation, capitalizing on the deep traditions and fertile funding that tether us to our mission and allow us to help others’ dreams take flight. We refused to let a little thing like a troubled economy stunt our growth! Rather than wring our hands and worry, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work.

Of course we were nervous. Like you, we watched closely as Wall Street and Main Street felt the impact of a serious recession. However, thanks to the tremendous foresight of our Investment Committee and our careful stewardship of funds during the good times, the Community Foundation remained in a position to take care of ourselves – and our community.

In 2008-2009, our hopes were elevated even more by the generosity of donors who enabled us to add nine new funds to our ranks. We were honored to help the community remember Robert Rockwell and his tremendous philanthropic legacy through the Bob Rockwell Memorial Fund. And, for the past six months the response to our newly-created Fund for Women has energized the entire staff!

As a result of economic uncertainty and the continued high costs of education, we expected our scholarship program would see an increased number of applicants. It did. Requests increased more than 200%. Fortunately, our growing list of available scholarships allowed us to meet this demand. This year we gave away nearly $200,000 in scholarship money – a 17% increase over 2007-2008.

Our grantmaking programs flourished as well. In 2008-2009 we awarded 392 grants totaling $1.2 million. Recipients represent every segment of our region, and we’re pleased to share just a few of their stories. This calendar highlights the roots that anchor us to each other as well as the wings we hope to keep aloft throughout our community.

Thank you to each volunteer, donor and fund holder who helped us and so many others fly during these difficult economic times.

Sincerely,

Randi Hewit Judy McIntosh President Chair, Board of Directors

As early as the turn of the 20th, century women held positions in education, medicine, law, charitable work and urban/rural life (housework, child care, canning, etc.) as well as a host of other professional, paraprofessional and industrial positions, including at least two clairvoyants.

The Community Foundation was pleased to help make possible “Never Done – Women and Work in Chemung County 1880 – 1920” an exhibit at the Chemung Valley History Museum that explores the wide range of women’s work through documents, objects, biographies and photographs. The diligence of these early female workers prepared the way for those who followed.

“Many groundbreaking women felt it was their duty to open the door for other women, letting their hearth-side dreams take flight,” says Kerry Lippincott, CCHS education coordinator. “Local women contributed to the national temperance, suffrage and anti-slavery movements, as well as a host of community ‘revolutions’ like providing

How can you make lessons in environmental stewardship and recycling resonate with a population of young people raised indoors? This was the challenge faced by Pam Noviello, Executive Director of the Southside Community Center. Among the “beautifully diverse” group of children served by the Center’s free after school program, Noviello observed a dearth of understanding about the human impact on the natural world.

“We wanted to get the kids outside, interacting one-on-one with the nature all around them,” Noviello remembers “just to encourage them not to litter.” Enter Emily Hofelich- Jack of Tanglewood Nature Center whose Nature Rangers/Urban Environmental Club is designed to do just that. It’s been a match made in heaven, or the garden at least.

“We began getting together with the kids once a week, playing environmental games and discovering their own backyard.” says Hofelich-Jack. “When we decided to grow a community garden, we planted only edible things – veggies, flowers and herbs.” monitor the rain barrel, compost and teamwork, healthy eating and matured and are sure to produce Now, like the garden, the project worm bins, invite their friends, share exercise.

Now, 400 years into the tale’s telling, this protective beast has a new crop of admirers thanks to the gradual, thoughtful restoration of its Elmira dwelling.

Eldridge Park, with its carousel and dragon boats looms large in the memories of many Elmira natives. For generations it was the premiere place to picnic and play. Then it fell out of favor; its attractions were boarded up, broken down and sold off. The abandoned recreation area became better known as a place to avoid. Now, like the serpent of old, it has resurfaced as a vibrant community center where a new generation can create some legends of its own.

“We’re so glad to once again offer a place that brings people of all ages and walks of life together,” says Bob Lyon, DDS, president of the Eldridge Park Preservation Society. “The revitalized park is a place that celebrates community.” the air and dragon boats cruise the Sara and Josh Powers are grateful for who remembers the Park from his From spring through fall, Eldridge lake.

At the same time it provides the means for second generation Indians to experience their country of origin in a personal way. Luckily for our region, STICA shares these celebrations freely with the general public so anyone who wishes to experience Indian culture may participate.

Retired Elmira businessmen, Jack Mikkelson and Stuart Komer both confirmed their desire to “help someone else” by giving them an opportunity to pursue higher education. “It’s even more important today,” says Komer. “With fewer kids able to access jobs right out of high school, they need college to get ahead.” Both men credit the community for part of their success and want to keep the cycle going and growing.

“We always hope bright students will come back to this area and do the same for others,” adds Chemung Canal Trust Company’s Betsy Dalrymple. “So, even though we may never know where our scholarship winners take root and grow, it’s always worth sowing these local seeds.”

Winfield has a high percentage of low-income families. Early on in her teaching career, Hampson observed that most of her students didn’t see much reading in their homes. In fact, many had no books at all until the state-sponsored Parents as Reading Partners program she helped found at Winfield began giving them away in 1986. Twelve years ago the program folded into the Rolling Readers USA Read Aloud and Book Giveaway program, a nationwide children’s literacy initiative. When Rolling Readers cancelled all its chapters, Barb didn’t let the ball drop for Winfield students. She rolled it right into the newly named Reading to Roos program in 2007 and has been coordinating the program’s volunteers ever since.

Fran was a transplant herself, moving to Elmira from her home in the much bigger city of St. Louis, MO. It wasn’t long, however, before she was completely “smitten” with her new community. “She loved being part of it,” says Welles. “She was very generous with her time, her talents and her concern for others.” When Fran died in 2003, the men in her life decided to exercise philanthropy on her behalf here in the town she loved so much.

“We knew we wanted to honor our Elmira roots and my mother’s memory by giving something back,” explains Welles. “We were not sure exactly how; she’d had so many good experiences.” They decided to let the Community Foundation determine the areas of greatest need each year and left the Fran McKinnon Fund at our discretion. In addition to a cherished memory Welles reports they have the comfort of knowing their money is well-spent, improving the lives of others.
