New Roof For Kemmerer Annex Health Care Facility

Jennings Terrace, Inc. has been notified that the Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley has approved a grant for $15,000 for a new roof for the Kemmerer Annex Health Care Facility of Jennings Terrace.

Jennings Terrace was established in 1943 as a non-profit senior living community dedicated to offering holistic care to our seniors at affordable rates. Jennings provides independent living, assisted services and skilled nursing care.

The $15,000 grant will kick-off the “Raise the Roof” Campaign to be promoted to the community this fall and year-end.  David Scarpetta, Executive Director of Jennings Terrace, comments, “This grant from the Community Foundation is a great start for our 2011 – 2012 Annual Campaign.   We are grateful once again for the support of the Community Foundation.”

The Community Foundation supported Jennings Terrace in 2009 for the purchase of a 12 passenger Courtesy Van with a lift.  The Van has provided a great service to residents and families since its purchase.

The Community Foundation is a non-profit, philanthropic organization that administers individual charitable funds from which grants and scholarships are distributed to benefit the Citizens of the Greater Aurora Area, the Tri-Cities and Kendall County, Illinois.  Further information about the Community Foundation is available at www.CommunityFoundationFRV.org.

YEP has made me realize the importance of being involved in my community, and how to make a difference. There are a lot of problems in the world but if we can do everything that we can to help the world will become a better place. YEP has helped me realize this and encouraged me to help more people in the future.

Being a part of the Community Foundation scholarship committee is the highlight of my year. For many, a scholarship from the CFFRV is the reason they are able to continue reaching for their dreams and changing the future of our world. I hope each recipients knows just how inspirational they are to those of us who are lucky enough to read their stories.

I am incredibly grateful for the generosity of the Zari Foundation Scholarship and the Community Foundation in supporting my education. I am majoring in mechanical engineering with a concentration in aerospace engineering at the Rose-Hulman Institue of Technology. In my spare time, I volunteer on campus, in the community and I’m also the principal violist in the symphony orchestra. I hope to make an impact on the next chapter of space exploration by eventually working at a groundbreaking aerospace company such as SpaceX or NASA.

YEP was a great experience to have in high school. I became a more confident person, someone with a lot more perspective. Coming from a small school, YEP allowed me to branch out into my community, meet students from other schools, and learn about their backgrounds. I made some great friends and still keep in touch with them today.
