This year’s Annual Appeal (2011-2012) goes toward updating the corridors and community areas in the building where the Residents live.
At the time the building opened in 1979, it was considered state of the art in design and comfort for seniors. However, time marches on. Decorating and life style trends change. Floors, walls, and doorways take the abuse of daily use. The ocean air, rain damage and hot summer days add to the wear and tear. Before you know it, not only does our space look rough around the edges, it has the overall feel of being stuck in a distant decade.
This year’s project is to revisit our interior look and make revisions in color while adding visual interest to create a clean and attractive design. With well-chosen changes we believe we can transform the environment without incuring major expenses.
The future look will be in line with what our residents find inviting and livable. It must appeal to senior at all levels: active adults, assisted living, as well as skilled nursing. We want the perfect balance between user-friendly and attractive.
An additional goal is to create appealing common areas that will encourage Residents to get out of their apartments and rooms. These areas will almost seem like extension to their private space.
We want to incorporate as much of our existing furnishings into the new design program and successfully make it feel as if it has all been designed and appropriately planned together.
We look forward to having you assist us in this important project to achieve a warm and tasteful upgrade to our Residents’ Building that will create the comfort and order of Home for many years to come.

Thank you for helping us to update an aging building into
a suitable Hospitality and Meeting Center.

Hospitality and Meeting Center.
We are pleased to report that we are extremely happy with the results. By diligently pursuing multiple bids on each part of the upgrade, we were able to achieve, and in some cases exceed, our expectations while keeping the expenses in line. We actually completed the project under budget.
The electrical system was the most expensive part of the project. This was a much larger effort than we anticipated primarily because of continued expansion of safety requirements imposed by the City of Los Angeles which included adding a second electrical panel.
The Hospitality Center has already hosted a ten day retreat for seventeen Little Sisters from all over the United States. Other Little Sisters have also used the Center for their private retreats. Just this past weekend, the members of our Association Jeanne Jugan used the Center for their retreat.
We look forward to many more proactive uses for the Hospitality and Meeting Center to benefit our order in the years to come.

Thank you for helping to replace our heating and hot water system.

| Heating and Hot Water System
Replacing our heating and hot water system became an emergency project in late 2009. Our thirty year old boilers and hot water tank were beyond repair. One boiler had already failed while the remainder did double duty. The project took on added urgency when the hot water tank sprung a leak.
Heat is a critical factor to the comfort of the elderly Residents. Because the Home is located so near the ocean the climate is cool and the boilers run year around. Hot water circulates throughout the Home in a continuous-flow system providing heat for the radiators and hot water for the sinks and restrooms.
The new system is operating successfully with the final backup unit soon to be installed. Overall the system offers lower energy consumption, greater temperature control, and lower emissions for improved air quality.
We have raised $187,000 toward the budget of $310,000. Because this expense is beyond normal operating costs, your support is greatly appreciated. Please help the Little Sisters by making a donation.
