A Note From the Executive Director
The holidays are always a favorite time of year at The Social. Not only do we take the time to enjoy the present, it’s always fun to
look back at the busy year we’ve had. With a staff of 2 and over 50 volunteers, The Social does some pretty amazing things and
it’s time to celebrate. So far this year, we’ve:
• Raised nearly $300,000 dollars through donations, grants and fundraisers (our electric bill alone is $700 a month!)
• Held 10 successful fundraisers
• Hosted our biggest Holiday Craft & Gift Show ever!
• Welcomed over 260 NEW Members
• Served over 7,200 patrons in the Food Pantry
• Installed a new ramp & automatic doors openers through a grant from the Johnson County Community Foundation
• Re-painted our Café during the United Way of Johnson County Day of Caring
• Received a $9,000 grant to expand our Rock Steady Boxing program
• Hosted the Secretary of State, Connie Lawson, for her fraud seminar and documentary
• Started the process of a grant through OCRA, to address issues with space and layout of our building
• Developed a building fund to raise our match needed for the OCRA grant ($55,000)
• Began a legacy fund to secure The Social’s future
What a wonderful year it has been and this is just the tip of the iceberg! None of this would be possible without our dedicated
Volunteers, Board Members (who are volunteers too!) and so many of you. Thank you.
I hope your holidays are filled with peace, goodwill & joy!

Volunteer of
the Month
Meet our December Volunteer of the Month,
Sue Day! Sue volunteers for our Rock Steady
Boxing program as a “Corner Woman”. She
became involved when her husband, Skip Day,
joined the program. Sue also volunteers her
time at the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra
and The Benjamin Harrison Home. In her spare
time, she loves to read, sew and spend time with
her wonderful grandchildren!
A huge THANK YOU to Sue for your dedication
to the program. You are SO loved!
In November, 45 of our members took a trip
to St. Augustine, Florida. During their time
there they enjoyed a narrated cruise on the
St. Johns River, visited Amelia Island,
Jacksonville and St. Augustine as well as
drank from The Fountain of Youth!*
