MISSION
The Attic Angel Association is a not-for-profit, independent
organization of volunteers who improve
the quality of life within Dane County.
Members meet health and human service needs
through volunteer and financial support
with special concern for children and the elderly.
A major focus is Attic Angel Community,
which provides living and health care options for older adults.
Attic Angel Place and Attic Angel Prairie Point provide
high quality services in a caring and personalized atmosphere
that respects the dignity, encourages the independence,
and enhances the quality of life of each resident.

Marge Davenport is an outstanding
example of the joy of volunteering.
Marge, from the class of 1965, received
the Emerald Halo Award in celebration of
her 45 years of active service in October
2010. This is a remarkable achievement
and refl ects Marge’s commitment to
serving children and the elderly in Dane
County. Marge has given 6,931 volunteer
hours to the Association, including 194
during 2009-2010. Marge joined Attic
Angel during the planning stage of the
Tower on Segoe Road. She jumped right
in and became Chairman of the Building
Committee. She served on the Board and
presided as President in 1974-75. Marge is
an exceptional woman and an inspiration
to all the Angel volunteers.

An honorary Attic Angel Association
membership was presented to Bob Koch
for his long-time, outstanding service
on the Investment Advisory Board.
Bob worked tirelessly with Association
Board and committee members for many
years, and provided wise counsel and
reassurance as the Association purchased
land and made the move from Segoe Road
to its current location. Bob’s patience and wisdom were appreciated by
the Angels in leadership during that time, as the decisions were heavy.
Bob was always there to answer the late-night phone calls and to provide
a shoulder to lean on when the decision making got tough. Bob is one of
only seven people who have been awarded honorary membership during
the Association’s 121-year history. Bob’s wife Phyllis is a member of the
Angel Class of 1994.

Athena Award Nomination
Sheila Luhman
Food Service Director, Attic Angel Place
First
Attic Angel Association
was one of the fi rst
members in the
Community Union formed
in 1922, and known today
as Dane County United
Way.
“With humor, with love,
with laughter and true
caring you all made this
(100 day) journey one
to remember and one
that we are all grateful
for. Madison is lucky to
have Attic Angels and
your staff to look after
loved ones in need of
care in our community.
We will be spreading the
word to anyone who fi nds
themselves in need of
your care.”
- Sally Schnarr
Resident Family
Sheila Luhman is a fantastic example of professional
dedication. Sheila, who was nominated by Attic
Angel Association for the Athena Award this past
year, has been Attic Angel’s Food Service Director
for 36 years. She has had the opportunity to train
and mentor over 250 food service employees,
inspiring many to follow in her footsteps. Sheila
takes pride in being able to provide delicious meals
while also adhering to the myriad of special diets
and texture modifi cations required. In addition to
her professional affi liations with the State Dietary
Managers Association, Sheila is also committed to
her community as shown by her leadership in Girl
Scouts, American Legion Auxiliary, Attic Angel’s
Alzheimer’s Walk team, and the Cross Plains World’s
Fair Committee. Sheila has managed for 36 years to
keep the Dietary services and her attitude as fresh and
invigorating as the food she serves.
Jo Jean Janus has made an incomparable
contribution to the development and
appreciation of the performing arts in Madison.
As mentor, teacher and coach at the Kehl School
of Dance, she has instilled self-confi dence,
poise and a pure love of artistic expression in
thousands of dancers. Today, with Jo Jean’s
daughters at the helm, the Kehl School of Dance
is the oldest, continuously family-run dance
studio in the United States and celebrated its
130
th
anniversary in 2010. Jo Jean continues to
share her love of dance through many volunteer
activities in our Attic Angel Community,
enriching others through the arts.

felt by many individuals and organizations in Madison. In
recognition of her generous spirit, JoAnn was named the

for all your help. To have
this many caring people in
public service working this
hard and this cooperatively
for one little person is
astonishing, remarkable,
admirable and a credit to
what you stand for and who
you are. We don’t know
where they make people
like all of you, but wherever
that factory is, they need to
make some more.”

George and Jean Hess, residents
of Prairie Point, are fi ne examples
of “cheerful givers.” During the
summer of 2010, George and Jean
sat down to think about the causes
they could contribute to. In the end,
they decided to support the two
that meant the most to them – the
Resident Aid Fund at Attic Angel
Place and the Salvation Army. They
shared their decision with Judy
Brannstrom, Development Offi cer
for Attic Angel. They described their
gift to Resident Aid as a tribute to
the community that nurtures them daily through supportive neighbors
and staff, community friendship and fellowship, and opportunities for
learning and personal growth. Their generous gift to Resident Aid was
a wonderful way for George and Jean to express gratitude for their
retirement life at Prairie Point.

By Everette Hanson,

Someone nice made a basket,
and hung it on my door.
This act of kindness,
means very much to me.
It was done while I was
resting,
so I didn’t get to see.
The secret hands that made it,
will remain a mystery.
Hand-made, with paper fl owers,
makes me love it even more!
The basket held candy kisses,
very good to eat.
My kids are grown,
and live so far away.
My grandkids do baskets,
on the fi rst of May.
I hope they make folks happy,
like you did today!
Happiness is just knowing,
there is anyone so sweet!

kitchen disaster
In the early morning hours of December 11, 2010, a heavy
winter storm caused a ceiling to collapse in the Attic Angel
Place kitchen. Thankfully, no one was injured. The repair
was quickly undertaken and after a month of serving dinner
out of a make-shift kitchen in the dining room, regular food
service was restored. The freezer and cooler repair were
deferred to summer when staff can access temporary coolers
more safely.

In February of 2011, the annual
Staff Recognition Party was held
at Attic Angel Place to recognize
those staff members who have
devoted many years of their
lives serving the residents of
Attic Angel. Angel volunteers
hosted the party, attended by
residents and other staff. As
each staff member received their
commemorative pin, a short
biography was presented about
that person. “It’s nice to get to
know more about the people we
see every day” was a familiar
comment heard that day.
Attic Angel has 250 employees

Staff Recognition
“There is no better exercise
for the heart than reaching
down and lifting people up.”
- John Andrew Holman
“Almost 70% of Falk’s students
live in poverty and cannot
afford their own school
supplies. Your generosity has
allowed us to outfi t many of
these students with backpacks
and supplies to help them
grow and learn. From staff,
students and families alike,
we truly appreciate your
generosity.”
- Cailin Taggart,
school social worker
Residents and volunteers had two busy “Blanket Making
Days” in July and August 2010 to make 45 blankets for
children served at Madison-area hospitals, the Ronald
McDonald House, and Interfaith Hospitality Network.
Pictured here with a new blanket are volunteer Cindy
Zellers (lt.) and resident Mrs. Billye Newcomb.
Proceeds from the Snow Angel
luncheons and the expanded Angel Wear
Sale added enhancements to the Haven
(wheelchair swing pictured right) and
Attic Angel Place activities, as well
as a $2,000 gift to Resident Aid. The
Fall Silent Auction brought in $7,000
to assist the Association in its mission.
All hands were on deck for the 2010
Attic Sale and House & Garden Tour.
Hard work and the enthusiasm of our
wonderful volunteers yielded fabulous
gifts to the community: $15,000 to the
Respite Center, $15,000 to S.A.I.L., and
$40,095 to Attic Angel Resident Aid.
Well done, Angels!
Helping Others
A school supply
drive for Falk
School yielded
many backpacks
and school supplies
for children who
would, otherwise,
have gone without.
Value of the
contributions was
just over $1,400.
“Helping to steer
the Attic Angel Sale
was one of the most
rewarding and fun
things I have done
in my life. I loved
the camaraderie,
the “treasures”,
the excitement and
success on Sale day,
and even the dusty
basement.”
