SENIOR LIVING FOUNDATION of the AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE

A Time of Service, A Time of Need

Volume 22, Number 1 FOUNDATION NEWSLETTER March 2019

Message from the Chairman

The Senior Living Foundation (SLF) of the American Foreign Service had a very active and successful year. Your financial support made it possible for SLF to meet its commitment to “taking care of our own.” Thirty years of building a strong community and changing lives has been sustained by your generous donations. In 2018, SLF received over $920,000 in donations, including a remarkable $600,000 bequest from an individual who believed in our mission during his life and wanted to help continue our work.

The Foundation assists retired Foreign Service personnel and their spouses who find themselves in need. Your contributions helped defray the costs of prescription drugs, utility bills, basic living expenses, and a variety of other services. Whether SLF purchased hearing aids or provided resource information, your donation had an impact and made a difference.

Beyond SLF’s assistance to those individuals in need, the Foundation hosted its 8th Planning for Change (PFC) seminar in September. The successful educational event featured twelve guest speakers with expertise in topics important to SLF’s supporters. The participants learned about senior mental health, one-on-one coaching, new tax laws, estate planning, and much more. You can read about PFC, as well as learn how to access the seminar recordings, inside this newsletter.

I am saddened to report that SLF Board Member Ambassador Alan W. Lukens passed away in January 2019. He had served as a Foundation Board Member since 1999 and helped to shape both the mission and the culture of SLF. There is a tribute to Ambassador Lukens on the back of this newsletter. His passing followed the death of long-time advisor Ambassador George Landau in October 2018. We choose to honor their memories by continuing the work of the Foundation. Their presence will be missed.

I am excited about what is in store for SLF as we move to expand our services. The Foundation wants to touch as many lives of those in need as possible. We cannot fulfill this vision without your generosity. Please continue your support of the Foundation. It is your giving which makes it possible for SLF to “take care of our own.”

Sincerely, Marc Grossman

Sponsored by the AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION 2 FROM THE FOUNDATION Overview HONORARY CHAIRMEN he Senior Living Foundation (SLF) serves as a valued resource in the Foreign Madeleine K. Albright Service community. We are committed to making a difference by “taking care of James A. Baker III our own.” That means meeting the existing needs of the Foreign Service family T Hillary Rodham Clinton as well as finding new ways to assist. This past year, we reached our population with traditional approaches but also explored fresh methods of administering SLF’s charitable John F. Kerry services. As always, your generous gifts opened the doors to aid our colleagues in need. Henry A. Kissinger This brings us to our new Parent Program, an additional offering from the Senior Colin L. Powell Living Foundation. Historically, SLF only assisted retired Foreign Service employees Condoleezza Rice and their spouses. However, serving overseas may present unique family challenges George P. Shultz with aging parents in the States. To help, the Foundation expanded its reach to include elderly parents and/or parents-in law of active duty FS personnel. SLF can provide care management services as well as limited funds for temporary care services. This allows a BOARD OF DIRECTORS family additional time to make more permanent arrangements. The grant requirements Marc Grossman, Chairman are based on the financial circumstances of the parents only, not the active duty FS Sheldon J. Krys, Vice Chairman employee. This new program was introduced formally to the State Department’s Eldercare Thomas M. Tracy, Secretary-Treasurer Support Group on December 17, 2018. It was welcomed and well received by the attendees. To learn more about the new SLF Parent Program, visit www.slfoundation.org. Joan M. Clark, Chairman Emeritus Robert O. Blake, Jr. In 2018, SLF provided assistance in many forms. Our Resource Center supported those who needed guidance in planning for their next stage in life. Active-duty colleagues called William J. Burns the Foundation for advice in making decisions for their aging family members. Lastly, SLF Paul M. Cleveland defrayed the costs of home health care, senior living facilities, transportation, prescription James I. Gadsden drugs, and more. All this is made possible because of your financial support. Thank you Edward “Skip” Gnehm for giving to the Foundation, so that we may give to others. William C. Harrop As in the past, SLF partnered with other entities that serve the Foreign Service Maura A. Harty community. SLF’s leadership visited the State Department’s Retirement Office (RET) to refresh the employees on the purpose and the work of the Foundation. We Thomas R. Pickering appreciate the ongoing referrals from the RET counselors, as they regularly interact Rozanne L. Ridgway with our core population. Also, SLF joined AFSA and DACOR in cosponsoring the Linda Thomas-Greenfield 2018 Foreign Affairs Day (FAD). SLF hosted an information table at FAD to allow Gretchen G. Welch active duty and retired Foreign Service personnel to learn more about the Foundation. Lastly, SLF held its 8th Planning for Change Seminar. The event Sharon P.
