You’re simply the best!
Janice Morgan Interim Executive Director If there is one thing I have learned at Project Transitions, it is that you, our friends and supporters, are simply the best! This year, Doug’s House’s new building turns five. What an exciting time it was five years ago! It started out as a volunteer project, tearing down an old fence in the backyard. The project caught the eye and heart of Main Street Homes’ owners, Steve & Michelle Bartholomew. They walked through the hospice with Charlotte and said, “Let’s build a new one.” Every day, I pass by Doug’s House on my way to work and think of all the love that surrounds the hospice. I am so thankful for our wonderful caring staff, Board of Directors, and you, our supporters. During the early days of HIV/ AIDS, you came together as a force to provide help and comfort to loved ones affected by the disease. You took up the fight and worked tirelessly to help friends and family members. Today, many people from all walks of life do not have the resources, family, or friends to help them overcome the effects of HIV/AIDS. We are their advocates. Who better than us to fight for them?
21 YEARS OF SUPPORT
You are a kind and generous group of supporters and friends to Project Transitions. While processing donations at the office one day, I came across a check for $10, along with a small note saying only this: “When I can get a second job, I will give more.” This touched my heart. If you are new to our family, welcome. I know you will be blessed by helping others. If you are a long
time supporter who got a little tired and have taken a sabbatical, come back. We miss you and need you. And to those who just keep giving year after year, bless you. Our programs are strong because of each and every one of you. Dreams become reality when you, our supporters, take action—and you have certainly been active these past 21 years.
Why you’re simply the best... Here is what you have done for our residents: In the past 21 years at Doug’s House you have: • Enabled 2,500 individuals to live and die with dignity in a safe and loving home… • Provided 22,995 home cooked meals … • Helped staff wash 76,650 loads of laundry… • Provided 55,000 volunteer hours of compassionate support… • Shared in the more than 1,000,000,000 tears of sadness and joy shed.
In the past 17 years, at Roosevelt Gardens, Highland Terrace and Community Housing, you have: • Enabled over 3,000 individuals and families to live in a nurturing environment. • Provided not only a roof over their heads, but also supportive services to help our clients gain a new life of independence, including meals, budgeting classes, computer education, and basic daily living skills.
• Helped people to get back on their feet by providing skills to gain a new sense of self-worth and independence. • Given support and solutions on how to cope, not only with the challenges of daily life, but also with the greater challenges of living with HIV/AIDS.
Top Drawer Celebrates 17th Birthday Top Drawer Thrift turned seventeen this year, and we celebrated with an awesome blowout of a party at the store on Sunday, August 14th. The all-day event featured a 50% off sale, live music, food and drinks donated by our generous sponsors (see the list below). Top Drawer Thrift Store opened in 1993 to support Project Transitions’ hospice and housing programs. Top Drawer generates approximately 20% of the agency’s revenue each year. Thanks to our loyal customers, we raised over $2,000 at the birthday party through sales and donations. Live bands played inside the store throughout the day. We owe a huge thanks to our performers: Double Bogie, Austin Samba School, Jubal’s Lawyer, Dan Cioper, and Schmillion. Shoppers also enjoyed refreshments courtesy of local donors, Ambiente and North by Northwest. Food was donated by Jane King, and NomNom
Global donated gourmet cupcakes. Thanks to all of our donors, who kept customers well-fed and refreshed during the event. Sales ranged from clothing to shoes to knick knacks to eclectic items found only at Top Drawer. Thanks to Top Drawer customers and donors for ensuring that PT continues providing hospice and housing for people living with HIV/AIDS.

Project Transitions Welcomes New Staff Members We would like to welcome three very talented new staff members to the Project Transitions family. Without these dynamic additions, the day to day operations at PT would not be possible! The newest addition to the staff is Fleetwood Jacobs, Development Coordinator. Fleetwood is focusing on fostering new relationships with local business owners and searching for corporate underwriters to ensure Project Transitions’ ability to maintain compassionate and quality care. When asked, “Why volunteer?’ She responds, “From a Development Coordinator perspective, one of the major ways that Project Transitions raises money is through its special events. In order to make these events profitable, it is necessary to keep the costs low, which means we can’t hire people to help us with set up, break down or service during the parties. So help out!” Brandon Wollerson grew up in a small town in Louisiana. He moved to Austin in 2004 to finish his master’s degree at the University of Texas and he has remained in Austin. At Project Transitions, Brandon is the Program Coordinator for Doug’s House, a job which he calls “a job of many hats.” Responsible for, but not limited to: direct care of the residents, “staffing” the house with volunteers, and calling in maintenance requests, Brandon is constantly busy and says that “there is no typical day at the house.” When asked how this transition has impacted his life, Brandon states, “My involvement with Project Transitions has challenged me to step outside of my comfort zones, both personal and professional. It was at Doug’s House where I first began to foster a passion for end-of-life care and HIV/AIDS work. It’s also where I continue to explore the intersection of the two.” The third addition to our fabulous staff is Kim Hernandez, who is originally from San Antonio, Texas, but moved to Austin a little over a year ago from Washington D.C. from a post at PFLAG. Kim tells us a little about her role at Project Transitions: “I am the Housing Program Coordinator. My roles can vary from: program developer, supervisor, landlord, volunteer coordinator, case manager, coalition builder, and grant writer. A typical day may involve meeting with a client to help him or her apply for public housing, developing the program calendar, advertising events at other AIDS Service Organizations, or working on a grant to expand the services we can provide on the property.” Welcome new staff! We thank you for your hard work and are glad you are part of our team.

Doug’s House opened in 1989 as the first residential hospice for people living with AIDS in Central Texas. Its mission has grown to include short-term supportive care as the needs of people with HIV/AIDS have changed. It is still the only HIV/ AIDS hospice facility in Central Texas. Our team of social workers, caregivers and a Registered Nurse provide medication management, meals, personal care, and social service support. We also provide training on end-of-life care for residents and family members. However, without our wonderful volunteers, it would be impossible to operate. Elaine Voeltz retired in 2006, but still desired a way to contribute to her community. Her greatest surprise came through the discovery that by trying to give back, she has received and learned much more from those she has helped than she ever dreamed. Suzanne White, another Doug’s House volunteer, began volunteering about 5 years ago. She, too, has realized that through giving, you learn and receive much more. “My entire outlook on both death and life has changed,” she says. “I under-
stand so much more that cannot be explained, and I am rewarded every time I am given the opportunity to help.” Scott Remington has been volunteering at Doug’s House since the doors opened. What has kept him persevering? “I have lost a lot of friends, and I continue in their memory. Also, because any one of us can be in the same situation as our residents, and if I’m not willing to do this for someone else, how can I expect someone else to do it for me?” Volunteers are the backbone, and the source of success of Doug’s House and Project Transitions. We are so grateful for every single person who is able to lend a helping hand in any way possible. Without all of your contributions, none of these miracles would be possible.

Doug’s House, Event and Administrative Volunteer
Doug’s House, Event and Administrative Volunteer
PT: Where are you from and what brought you to Austin? CV: Originally, I’m from Odessa, Texas, but I moved here at the age of 12 with my family. I went to ACC and earned two Associate degrees in Radiology: Diagnostic Medical Imaging and Sonography. Currently I’m employed as an Ultrasound Technologist at ARA Imaging, where I have been for the past 4 1/2 years. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my partner, friends and family.
PT: Where are you from and what brought you to Austin? PR: I was born and raised in Northeastern PA in a very small town. I graduated from Wilkes University with a BS in Biology and spent several years in the restaurant industry as both a corporate manager and owner. I moved to Austin in 1993; I wanted to explore new places and experiences. What is your history with Project Transitions?
My friend, Tim Bailey, introduced me to Doug’s House. Eventually I transitioned into Thursday nights so Pete and I could work alongside one another. It’s a rewarding feeling working together with my partner on something that means so much to both of us.
My interest in PT began as an event attendee at Red Hot. A friend, Tim Bailey, told Chris and I that he was going to the volunteer orientation for DH and invited us to join. We did. Then, Mark Jackson contacted me and asked me to be on the steering committee for Texas Swing. Soon Holiday Swing followed and I’ve been doing it ever since.
What is your role at PT?
What inspired you to volunteer?
My partner, Pete, and I volunteer at Doug’s House. A typical night at DH may involve cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, or just spending time with residents. We also help out at events and fundraisers.
My first shift at DH was February 2007. I was inspired because I knew people who were personally affected by HIV. Being part of the community most affected by the disease made the opportunity that much more meaningful.
Anything else?
What would your response be to those who ask, “Why volunteer?”
When did you begin volunteering?
Volunteering at PT has brought it much more into focus that HIV/AIDS still exists. Seeing people living with, and even in certain instances, dying with this disease makes me want to get involved in other ways as far as on a level of prevention.
Everyone has some time available to do something to help others. Even if it’s only 30 minutes a week, once you find something you’re passionate about it will become the most rewarding time you spend that week.

Texas Swing 2010: Dance Ho(st)s, Music & BBQ
The 15th Annual Texas Swing, on June 4th, 2010, was a tremendously fun evening and a great success. More than 700 guests and 65 volunteers enjoyed barbecue from Scholz Garten, two music stages, a costume photo booth by BoothBooth, and special Texas Swing-themed hanky codes. (Miss the hanky codes? See the digital version of our newsletter on Issuu.com for a full list). This year at Texas Swing, several talented volunteers offered up their time as Dance Ho(st)s, bringing Western hospitality onto the dance floor. The new, local charcuterie business, Salt & Time, kindly provided sumptuous artisanal salumi [sic], Ambhar Tequila gave us a generous donation, and Austin bands: Alvin Crow, The Lost Pines and Whiskey Shivers, entertained the audience all night. The silent auction this year had some new, noteworthy items: Many Etsy artists from around the world donated their work in support of our agency. Their additions, such as the handmade iRetrofone and the “Rainbow Abe,” arrived from Canada, Europe, Australia and around the United States, showing the strength of compassion for people living with HIV/AIDS. It is clear supporters worldwide want to do what they can to help. This year’s Texas Swing raised over $32,000 for our programs. We thank all the donors, volunteers and attendees who made it possible. Please join us next year on Friday, June 3, 2011 for the 16th Annual Texas Swing. We will enjoy a hot Texas night together, celebrating and raising money for those in need in our community.

Sarah Jelinsky | Media Intern
Sarah Jelinsky is a senior at Pitzer College, double majoring in Public Health and Media Studies. She is passionate about advocating for people at risk and people living with HIV/ AIDS.

Rico Jacobs | Social Work Intern
Rico Jacobs is a social work student from Berlin, Germany. He came to Project Transitions for a semester and a summer to learn our model for providing HIV/AIDS services. He spent his internship working at Roosevelt Gardens, providing case management, facilitating life skills classes and organizing community events.
Benjamin Salzmann | Social Work Intern Benjamin is a social work student in Berlin, Germany. Social work is a relatively new field in Germany, so his intention was to learn our model of case management and care to bring that model back to Germany and adapt it to the HIV+ community in his home country. He spent his time at Doug’s House as a direct caregiver learning from the pros.
COMING SOON: Project Transitions Agency Video Our intern, Sarah Jelinksky, has been working hard to compile an agency video, featuring footage of our programs and facilities, staff and volunteer interviews, and event highlights. Keep an eye on our Facebook for a link upon its completion. We thank Sarah and are looking forward to seeing her work!
