The Mission Of Patrick Henry Boys & Girls Plantation Patrick Henry Boys and Girls Plantation, Inc. is a charitable, nonprofit children’s home designed to provide boys and girls with a Christian substitute home. This residential child care program reaches out a loving hand to children from broken and disrupted homes that can no longer meet their needs. Our focus is to reach children in high-risk situations to prevent delinquency, substance abuse, and emotional disturbances. This program began as a non-denominational ministry on February 1, 1961, and has developed into a multi-service program of the very highest quality. Emphasis is placed on modeling Christian family life for children and only married couples are employed as houseparents. Emphasis is also placed on developing the physical, mental, and spiritual potential of each child to the fullest extent possible. Applications for admission are made by a parent or guardian and extensive investigations are made in each case. Approval for admission is based on urgency of need and the ability of the program to meet the needs of that particular child. The program is operated by a volunteer Board of Trustees and is promoted and represented by a volunteer Advisory Board with members from various regions throughout Virginia. We operate on voluntary contributions and no government assistance is accepted. At the same time, we are truly a charitable operation and no child is ever turned away due to lack of funding for support. The Plantation takes great pride in its internal self-help efforts and our efficiency of operations. PH BGP

Celebrating 50 years of Hope— an appropriate motto for this historic year.
Robert Day, Executive Director
Hope has been the central theme here at Patrick Henry from the very beginning. It was the driving force that moved the founders to start this wonderful ministry. Hope has served as the inspiration for the multitude of trustees, staff, and volunteers who have served here so faithfully ever since. It is with a certain measure of hope that donors have supported us so generously for the last five decades. Hope is a powerful thing. It is “the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best.” Hope has been such a commanding notion for this ministry and the individuals it serves that we named our counseling ministry, Hope for Tomorrow. It is hope, after all, that motivates families to seek counseling or even to voluntarily relinquish the care of their child to one of our seven group homes. There are three things we should remember about hope and the role it will play in this organization for the next 50 years. First, hope must have reference only to things yet to come. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11. I have hope that the best years of this ministry are yet to come. That’s right. It is because of hope that I have the audacity to believe that the future of this ministry will be even better than its magnificent past. I hold fast to the hope that even more families will be healed, even more children will be rescued, and that our world will be a better place to live because of our labor here. Second, we speak of hoping only for something that is desirable, something we should like to see take place. What do we desire? What do we wish to see take place? Children from distressed
situations and troubled backgrounds growing up to be healthy, happy, and successful adults who themselves will participate in the grand work of the Kingdom of God; Families that stay together instead of breaking up; Parents who lovingly raise their children in the admonition and instruction of the Lord; Young adults prepared for life and living productively on their own. These are some of the desirable things we seek. Finally, any hope worth talking about must refer to something within the realm of possibility. Our hope is a reality for us—not just a desirable possibility, not a dream or fantasy, but something guaranteed by promises centered in Christ. The hope we have at Patrick Henry is not the unstable hope of mere man but it is the secure and eternal hope of the risen and living Christ. “Christian hope is the confident expectation of the future event based on the promise of God. It removes the element of doubt; it dismisses as mere superstition the suggestion of luck; it clings by faith to the divine decree when circumstances seem to give lie to it”. Rev. John Kramer Patrick Henry celebrating the 50 years of hope it has brought to this part of the world is certainly a good and noble thing. But, it pales in comparison to the 2000 years of hope that Christ has brought to the whole world. In fact, the last 50 years of this ministry has only been possible because of the hope that we have in Christ, Jesus. May the hope that is found only in Jesus continue to be the central theme of this ministry. May it be our guide in times of uncertainty, our sustenance in times of want, and our strength in times of weakness. Patrick Henry Boys and Girls Plantation— providing children and families help for today, and hope for tomorrow. PH BGP

Updates from Our Cottages Things are moving faster and faster as our girls begin to get “old”! It’s been an Bedford exciting season for our girls as three Houseparents: Dan & Kelly of them are now working. In Bedford, Wolfanger like everywhere, jobs are scarce, but Jessica is now working at Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Emily B. and Emily S. kept at it until the Applebee’s manager had no choice but to hire them due to their “pluck” and determination. Volleyball was also a big part of the fall season for our girls. Eighth grader Tori is a first-timer, but she made the JV-B team, and Emily B. nailed down her spot on the JV team at Liberty High School. Emily B. also is excelling in the JROTC program and has earned a promotion and held a place on the shooting team. Taylor has continued to be a ray of sunshine and keeps us fed and plump with all the baked goods she churns out in the kitchen. Recently, we have been blessed with a new addition to our family: Asia. She has a great sense of humor, is fun to “hang out” with, and has her eye on a job and sports in the future. We anticipate the arrival of two more new girls soon. The new year has been non-stop for us, as softball season nears and we start the exciting countdown toward graduation for our senior Emily S!
Halifax
Houseparents: John & Sandra Lewandowski
What’s been happening in Halifax last fall and early winter? Well, since we have four boys (three teenagers and one tween) all prayers are greatly appreciated! And we look forward to a new boy joining our cottage
family soon. Marco, a new member of our family, hails from Danville, VA, is 15 years old, in the 10th grade and has been a wonderful addition to our home. He is a pleasure to be around and seems to have settled in nicely. Dajur turned 15 in December and is in the 8th grade. He has had a busy semester playing football, keeping up with his studies and joining the Patrick Henry Basketball team, along with Marco and Timothy. Joshua is 14 years old, and that just blows us away. Josh is also in the 8th grade. He has been with us the longest, and it is amazing to see the changes in him. He was on the Halifax County Middle School Golf team this past fall and has enjoyed

PAT R I C K H E N R Y. O R G
this new interest very much. Lastly, there’s Timothy, who is now 12 years old and is in the 6th grade. He played in the Pee Wee football league this past fall, and has grown so tall. (Mrs. Lewandowski is now the shortest person in the house!) As always, the Christmas season was busy, but thoroughly enjoyable. We began by ringing the bell for the Salvation Army. The boys were terrific. They never complained, they enjoyed themselves and never felt they deserved any reward for their volunteer work. We could not have been more pleased by their attitude in doing this community service. We, as a cottage, are blessed in so many ways. The generosity of people in our community continues to lift our hearts and spirits. One particular gift a neighbor gave to our boys was a Wii system. This was a great surprise, and has provided hours of fun! Also, our cottage was blessed by a large donation from The Little Theatre in South Boston, which enabled us to purchase new family room furniture. What a blessing! (You would understand if you ever sat on our old furniture.) We were blessed, as always, by the Virgilina Woman’s Club which, every year, sponsors our cottage for Christmas. The faithfulness and love of this group is overwhelming. Our entire cottage looks forward to this party and the games the ladies put together for us to enjoy. The thoughtfulness that goes into the gifts makes all of us feel so very special. We want to thank all of our sponsors for their kindness and generosity, not just during Christmas but throughout the year. Most of all, we want to thank you for your faithful prayers; they are your greatest gift to us.
Our Plymale boys have accomplished a lot this school year. Steven and Damion Plymale are in their last semester of high school Houseparents: Ryan & Crystal and are preparing to graduate this Fulmer spring. Damion was on William Campbell High School’s varsity football team in the fall and is now playing basketball. Dasmine was on William Campbell’s JV football team. Colbie is studying auto mechanics at William Campbell. Three of our boys are holding down jobs in addition to school: Christopher and Colbie worked at Captain D’s in the fall, and Steven is working as an employee of Patrick Henry. Chris, Steven, and Dasmine are all members of the Plantation Choir. During the first six weeks of school, all of the Plymale boys
WINTER | SPRING
made the Patrick Henry honor roll. Scott made the A/B honor roll the first six weeks and Steven has been on the A/B honor roll all year so far. The boys enjoyed the football season as Mr. Fulmer is a huge football fan, and many nights have been spent watching games in the Fulmer’s apartment and eating snacks. Also, when the weather was decent, the boys enjoyed going outside after school and playing football with Mr. Fulmer in the field in front of the cottage. Everyone enjoyed Christmas in the cottage. Sunday, December 12th we had a “Christmas Morning,” where all the boys got up, ate a big breakfast, and opened gifts from Santa Sponsors. The Fulmers also prepared stockings for each boy and their own young son, Cohen. The boys were very grateful for and excited about all of their gifts and the various parties we attended in the area.
Last fall and this winter have been pretty busy at our Rustburg Cottage. This year Rustburg we have three seniors: Mary, Sammy, Houseparents: John & Emily and Roxanne. We are excited about them Isaman finishing up this year. Our other girls are sophomores, two of whom, Libby and Savanah, were involved with their church youth group doing outreach teams. Summer, another sophomore, is our resident farmer and enjoys working in the barn. In January, Moesha, also a sophomore, joined our Rustburg cottage family. When it was getting cooler in late October we all went to the Liberty Baptist Church Jamboree in Appomattox. There we enjoyed a hay castle, tons of free candy, pig races, a mechanical bull and a spooky ice ride. In November the Rustburg Cottage was the open (girls) cottage for Thanksgiving break. During this holiday time we enjoyed some days of sleeping in, going to movies and eating lots of turkey. In early December the Southern Cruisers Riding Club came by with “Santa” and gave the residents presents and gift cards. The Rustburg girls love and appreciate all that the Southern Cruisers do for them. Also, in early December the Rustburg girls cut up some fire wood and took it to a young lady whose heater had broken. At our cottage we have some Christmas traditions that we do each year. It all starts with decorating the house. The girls put up three trees with lots of ornaments, hang garlands and lights in the living room, hang lights in the hallways, put up a Christmas village in the dining room and decorate their bedroom doors to look like presents. Our annual Christmas party included painting ornaments, a gingerbread house contest, a huge dinner and opening small gifts that we bought for each other. We are able to enjoy so much in the holiday season thanks to special sponsors and friends.

The Stephens Cottage boys have been on the go! Last fall Al and Tevin played Stephens varsity football at William Campbell High Houseparents: Pierce & Carma School. Al was named to the All-District Foulk second team as a defensive end and he is just a sophomore. Both boys received their letters for making the team and playing, as well as certificates for maintaining a 3.0 or higher grade point during the football season. Larnza was on the JV football team as a lineman. Judah was in the William Campbell High School marching band which placed well in area competitions. In addition, he was selected to be in the Virginia Youth Band Ensemble where he had a solo in the VYBE’s Christmas Concert. Stephens Cottage boys participated in activities with our church youth that included a leisurely walk to the top of the Peaks of Otter. Stephens had two boys make the William Campbell High School basketball team. Tevin made varsity and Al made JV. Devin is playing basketball for the Plantation in the Heritage Baptist Church League. Our cottage enjoyed trips to the mall for shopping in preparation for Christmas. We enjoyed the Christmas Party sponsored by Hurt United Methodist Church (especially the homemade food) and the Annual Christmas Party hosted by the Harley Owners Group. The boys then enjoyed their Christmas break at home.
Wylliesburg Cottage, affectionately known as “Pineland,” has been a Wylliesburg whirlwind lately. With the holiday Houseparents: season, and the blur of activities Jeff & Gina Mosher surrounding it with parties, shopping, preparations, finishing up the school semester, preparing to go home for break, and volunteering… well, lets just say that life at Pineland has been exhilarating, and yet filled with laughter and fun. Along with the activities, we have recently been blessed to have another beautiful young lady join our home, and another moving out and into our Transitional Living Program. With the new year here, anticipation builds for the excitement of the changes that will always greet us. 2011 promises us a new beginning in the life here at Pineland, along with unique challenges and opportunities.

The Bell Is Back! After sitting in a central spot near the flag poles on the Brookneal campus for many years, our bell was sent away recently for what might be considered a facelift. Thanks to the generosity of The Combat Veterans Motorcycle Club through the American Legion Springfield Post 176, the bell was sand blasted, restored to its original color, and a new clapper was installed. The bell is now stored safely in the Craft Shop waiting to be returned to front campus as part of the 50th Anniversary Celebration later this year. We appreciate Richard Winstead, 9th District Special Events Coordinator making the contact with the CVM Club. PH BGP

Remember Charities in Your Estate Plan Remembering the charities that matter to you in your Will or other estate planning documents helps you make sure that your charitable desires will be carried out after you’re gone. Without proper documentation, your executor or family members won’t be able to give assets from your estate to a charity. Here are some examples of the gifts that may be made to charity in a Will:
Cash Bequest Laura W. Keohane is an attorney with Edmunds & Williams, P.C. in Lynchburg. Her law practice is focused on wills, trusts and estates as well as family-owned businesses.
You may designate a specific dollar amount to be given to a charity.
Residuary Bequest In your Will, you can designate where the remainder of your estate will go after all other bequests, debts and taxes have been paid. You can designate your favorite charity as beneficiary of all or a portion of your residual estate. This enables you to pass assets to charity after you have provided for loved ones.
Specific Bequest You may designate that a specific item of property, such as real estate, or tangible personal property (artwork, jewelry, a coin collection, etc.), or certain shares of stock, be given to a charity.
Contingent Bequest This is a bequest made on condition that a certain event must occur before distribution to the charity. For example, you may designate your favorite charity as a beneficiary if your spouse, children, or other heirs predecease you. Giving a portion of your estate to charity will not only benefit the charity, but could reduce the amount of estate taxes owed by your estate. If your estate is valued high enough to be taxed, a charitable donation,
12
PAT R I C K H E N R Y. O R G
or a charitable trust set up during your lifetime, can decrease the value of your estate so no taxes are imposed. A charitable remainder annuity trust (“CRAT”) pays an annual amount to a noncharitable beneficiary for a fixed term, at the end of which the remainder goes to the charity. A charitable remainder unitrust (“CRUT”) sets a percentage to pay out annually to a non-charitable beneficiary for the life of the trust, at the end of which the charity receives the remaining money. A charitable lead trust pays an annual amount to the charity for a fixed term, at the end of which the non-charitable beneficiaries receive the remainder. Life insurance also can be used to make a substantial contribution to charity. Under some circumstances, a donor can even deduct premium payments for the life insurance from his or her annual taxes as an itemized deduction. To take advantage of this feature, the donor must actually sign over the policy’s rights and deliver the document to the organization. Using IRA’s or other retirement accounts to benefit a charity is a possibility. However, be sure to obtain professional advice before you change your IRA beneficiaries, because having a charity named with other beneficiaries on the same IRA can affect the tax-deferral possibilities of the other (non-charitable) beneficiaries. To learn more, consult a financial advisor, an accountant, or an attorney who concentrates in wills and trusts. These professionals can advise you on different ways to remember the charities you care about as part of your estate plan. PH BGP

Creative Gifting Past-Present-Future Past As we celebrate our first 50 years as a children’s home, we remember the generosity of individuals, churches, organizations and businesses that have had faith in our mission and have supported us financially over the years to help change the lives of at-risk children and their families. Because of this support we have been able to change thousands of lives!
Harriet J. Whitten Director of Development
Present You can help us continue to change lives by referring families who need help to Patrick Henry Boys and Girls Plantation and also to our Hope for Tomorrow Counseling Services. Your financial contributions enable us to serve children and families regardless of their ability to pay. Often those who need help the most have the least ability to pay. When you send your donation, have you thought of honoring special persons in your life? These could include your loved ones, a special friend, your pastor, a favorite teacher, a relative, or someone celebrating a special occasion such as a birthday, an anniversary, the birth of a child/grandchild, or a promotion. You may also want to send your gift as a memorial to someone(s) special to you. Our office will send the honoree(s) a card to inform them of your gift, or in the case of a memorial we will send a note to the person you designate. They will be recognized in a future issue of The Orator. With Mother’s Day and Father’s Day approaching in May and June, you may want to honor your parents in this special way. What an appropriate way to remember those who played an important part in your life by helping children who may not be as fortunate! I hope you will share the love your parents shared with you by making life
better for today’s children. If you choose to honor your parents in this special way, our office will send them a card to inform them of your tribute, or to the individual that you designate to inform them of the memorial gift. Parents who are honored, as well as the donors, will be recognized in the Honor and Memorial Register in a future issue of The Orator.
Future Patrick Henry Boys and Girls Plantation continues to benefit from the generosity of those who have included us in their estate plans over the years. You may want to do likewise as you make plans for your future. These gifts may include bequests, trusts, life insurance, etc. Please refer to the article by Laura Keohane on page 12. When working on estate plans, it is important to consult your financial advisor, your accountant, or an attorney who concentrates in wills and trusts. Please encourage your advisor(s) to be in touch with our office so we can work together to be certain that your wishes are fulfilled. Thank you for your support! P.S. Does your church or organization need a program? We welcome the opportunity to share the PHBGP story with your group. Please contact me at hwhitten@patrickhenry.org or 434-239-1139 for details.
