When was the last time you felt that you were doing somethingthat would make a difference in people’s lives? Well, here isyour opportunity! We are seeking several new board membersthis Fall. We have only one employee and she is fabulous, butshe cannot do it all. We depend on our Board and other volun-teers to help make SWH a wonderful home for 9 women and

their children. If you have experience in property management, public rela-tions, fundraising or construction or know someone who does, we could usethis expertise. Maybe you do not have the skills listed above, but have sometime and would love to help out a nonprof it, we would also love to hear fromyou. We believe volunteering is more than just donating your time. It’s fun,social, and meaningful. So please give us a call so we can discuss opportuni-ties and give you a tour of our houses.

Serving at least four 3-yearterms on the Susanna WesleyHouse Board of Directors, PegMillender is the longestserving member currently onthe board. She has beenTreasurer, Vice President andPresident, and is now chair ofthe 609 property committeeand a member of the 607building committee. As if thisweren’t enough, for the lasttwo years she has co-chaired the “Inspired to Serve” Annual Fundraiser (don’tmiss this year’s on September 18th!). Let’s not forget her work on getting thenewsletter prepared for bulk mailing and taking it to the main post off ice 3times a year. Oh, and she’s also quite possibly the nicest lady you’ve ever met!The embodiment of service, Peg is a big reason that Susanna Wesley House(SWH) has been such a success.

It stands to reason that such a wonderful lady would have an equally wonder-ful spouse, right? Peg’s husband Dan, a retired f ire f ighter, is another of our“silent weapons” who regularly pitches in at SWH doing

Happy Birthday to Eloise V. Bright,who celebrated her 90th birthday withfamily and friends on Saturday, May22, 2010 at Club Meade (formerly Ft.Meade Off icer’s Club). The photo atleft is of Mrs. Bright being escortedinto the event by her son, TerrenceBright. In lieu of gifts, attendees wereasked to make a donation to theSusanna Wesley House in honor of herbirthday. Donations totaling $645 weremade by her friends and family: AnnaBlack, Margaret Brown, Yolande

Dickerson, Daisy DuBose, Julia Freeman & Clementine Carter,Dorothy Green, Samuel H. & Jacqueline Harris, ColumbusHoward & Gennifer Taylor, Emma Jordan, Judith Lopez, AndreaMontague, Geraldine Smith, Lucille Thomas, Evelyn Thompson,Helen Tilghman, Andrea Turner, Mr. & Mrs. Clarence EdwardVaughn, Dorothy Weddington, and Esther White.

Mrs. Bright is a member of John Wesley United Methodist Church(Glen Burnie) and is an active member of the United MethodistWomen (UMW). She served as her UMW unit’s representative andcommunications liason to Susanna Wesley House, which motivatedher to become more involved after retirement. When health allowed,she supported SWH fundraising projects, giving not only of her time,but also f inancially. Look for her name on the Donor Wall the nexttime you visit!

Mrs. Bright’s involvement in Susanna Wesley House inspired herdaughter, Jamarri Bright, to volunteer also. Ms. Bright currently is amember of the SWH Finance Committee.

The Board of Directors extends its sincere thanks to the PattersonMemorial Association for their generosity in awarding a $13,000 grantto replace the back door and several leaky windows. This project willmake SWH a safer and more comfortable home for the women andchildren who live here. It will also provide a greater degree of energyeff iciency which we anticipate will reduce our energy consumptionand carbon footprint.

Fourteen new windows were installed on July 27/28 and a new backdoor will be here shortly. We are excited to have these upgrades inplace before the cold weather begins!

everything from landscaping to changinglight bulbs to shoveling snow in the backyard (about 5’ this past year!), usually withPeg by his side. The couple also takes it uponthemselves to decorate for Christmas. Dan isa board member and spends countless hourseach week volunteering as a farmer andadministrator at First Fruits Farm, Inc., aministry providing fresh produce and beef tovarious shelters, soup kitchens and foodbanks. Donations from FFF often f ind theirway to SWH along with gifts of fresh fruitsand vegetables from their own extensivegarden.

In accordance with our by-laws, boardmembers may serve only two consecutivethree year terms. We are sad to report thatPeg must leave the board after 2010, and wehope to have her back after a year off. Oursincere thanks go to both Peg and Dan fortheir years of tireless service to SusannaWesley House.
