Best regard s, Stacy Brinkley Vickie Snead President/CEO Board Chair www.hhhrichmond.org FY 2014 Annual Report Page 1 The Hospital Hospitality House – 30 Years Strong Building on a Firm Foundation. Radical Hospitality. When Dolly Hintz and the rest of the MCV Hospital Auxiliary decided way back in 1981 that they were going to open a guest house for families whose loved-ones had travelled to Richmond for medical care – little did they know what a radical and life-changing idea this would be. What they did know was that family members were sleeping in hospital chairs, eating out of vending machines because they could not afford to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at a restaurant, and washing up in hospital sinks because they had run out of clean clothes. Richmond needed a place where hospitality prevailed, a place where strangers would be welcomed, received and cared for during their families’ medical crisis. Richmond needed a hospitality house. The seeds were sown, and this group of dedicated volunteers spent the next three years in an intensive, no-holds-barred fundraising campaign. CSX kicked off the fund-raising efforts by making a $50,000 lead gift towards the hospitality dream – but according to Dolly, “the majority of the funds came from regular people like you and me – making $5, $10 and $20 donations.” The foundation was laid, and on December 5, 1984, the Hospital Hospitality House of Richmond was dedicated. The first guests found a kitchen where they could prepare meals and a warm and comfortable room where they could shower and rest after a long day spent helping their loved-one at the hospital. Thirty years later, HHH is still going Page 2 Treating guests like family since 1984 strong. Guests today still find a kitchen that is well stocked with food donated by our many community partners – Martin’s, The Fresh Market, Kroger and Panera Bread. Guests today are still able to take a hot shower and sleep in a comfortable bed. Guests today are still invited in, welcomed, received and cared for - experiencing the Radical Hospitality envisioned 30 years ago. The staff of HHH continues to build on that firm foundation by asking ourselves what can we do to improve the service we deliver to the nearly 7,000 people who stay with us each year? The answers have come in some very unexpected ways. During early spring, our 1958 cooling tower decided it had had enough and quit working. Now we had been babying this cooling tower for years – it was original to the building – and we were hoping beyond hope that it would last for just one more year…but it had other plans! HHH reached out to our community partners for help. Thanks to the Mary Morton Parsons Foundation, the William H., John G., and Emma Scott Foundation, Dolly Hintz and numerous other individual donations, HHH was able to raise the $109,000 to replace the old cooling tower with a new, state-of-the-art, energy efficient system. Now our guests stay cool, comfortable and cared for - even during the hot and humid Richmond summer. Another way we are better serving our guests is by sprucing up the House. We like to say that our building has been “well loved” – after all, over 145,000 people have stayed at HHH over the years. One of our goals here at the House is to create a positive and welcoming environment for our guests.

Western skink USFWS, Wm. Radke Cover Image: Ferruginous hawk chick September ©Tom Tietz 2011 A Desert Vision Columnar basalt pillars, lava flows and other channeled scabland formations provide the dramatic backdrop for the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge landscape, as they have for thousands of years. Intermingled with lands managed by other Federal agencies and the State of Washington, the Refuge helps to create a connected system of wildlife habitats important to migratory and resident species. A few thousand acres of lakes and wetlands, along with their adjacent uplands, attract many thousands of mallards, northern pintails, Canada geese, Sandhill cranes, and other migrating waterfowl and waterbirds to this otherwise arid environment. Long-billed curlews, Wilson’s phalaropes, black-necked stilts, and American avocets find nourishment in the refuge’s mudflats and nest in nearby grasslands. Shrub-steppe habitat on Columbia National Wildlife Refuge is healing from the scars of wildfires, invasive species, and other adverse impacts, with loggerhead shrikes, sage thrashers, sage sparrows, and other sagebrush-obligate species becoming more abundant within contiguous blocks of bunchgrass and sagebrush habitat.
