Galloway National Golf Club is a private, world-class 18-hole
championship golf course ranked one of “America’s 100 Greatest
Golf Courses”. Although the skies threatened to storm all day,
golfers enjoyed the sand hills of South Jersey, over looking the skyline of Atlantic City that the course provides.
The day began with a delicious lunch, followed by a shotgun start,
with a shamble format. Noted for their 4-star dining, not a single

Saturday, November 7th, 2009
As incoming President of the
Ruth
Newman
Shapiro
Cancer and Heart Fund, I
know I have a challenging but
rewarding time ahead of me. I
am truly honored to have been
given the chance to serve as
leader of such a prestigious organization that does so
much for the benefit of our community.
Our entirely volunteer charity continues to raise
funds to ensure that proper medical treatment and
facilities are available locally.
As we continue to face economic challenges in
the world today, it is of the utmost importance that
we continue to fulfill our pledges to area hospitals
and healthcare facilities. To accomplish this, we
will have to continue to work hard as a board as we
give our time, efforts and talents for each and every
fundraiser. We must continue our fundraising
efforts and find new ways to raise funds. I know our
group of dedicated board members can do anything
we put our minds to! We, of course, couldn’t raise
the funds we do without the support of our generous benefactors and the community.
The road ahead may have some bumps and obstacles but I see RNS having a bright future and I am
proud and excited to be a part of it. I intend to do
my best in leading the board to even greater successes. Most importantly, we must always remind
ourselves why we are here doing what we do.

other delicious items. An exquisite ice sculpture vase containing a

6-ounce filet mignon topped with caramelized onions, and salmon
Wellington, served with a lemon and thyme buerre blanc. Dessert
was a sampler of Raspberry Swirl cheesecake, banana chocolate

framed picture along with a delicious breakfast goodie bag containing fun items from local merchants.
Next year’s RNS Ball will be held on November 13th, 2010. A

for another great RNS Ball.

Windsong on Wesley
“Windsong on Wesley” will be our 2010 Show House and
it is “shore” to delight. Through the generosity of Robert and
Stephanie Himmelstein we are heading to Ocean City for the

lovely 1907 Dutch Colonial is located at 1501 Wesley Avenue and offers unbeatable ocean views. Past supporters of RNS and first time visitors will be amazed at
the magical work of our designers. Also in conjunction with the Show House we
will once again have five informative and fun lectures which are included with the
purchase of a single ticket. Our many talented and well known designers are usually on hand in their respective rooms on Thursday evenings. The designers are
an entertaining group and enjoy conversing with our many visitors.
Ocean City has many attractions to offer Show House visitors, so please make
a day of it and enjoy lunch and or dinner, stroll the family friendly Boardwalk and
shop the downtown merchants. A trolley runs along Asbury Avenue during day1501 Wesley Avenue • Ocean City, NJ

“La Dolce Vita”, the former home of Paul “Skinny” D’Amato, was a huge hit with all of our visitors.
The current owners of the home, Dr. & Mrs. Richard Lucas generously allowed RNS to take possession of their home for the
summer. It seems as though every year we say “This is the best Show House ever!”, and this year was no exception. Our group of
loyal designers never fails to amaze and inspire us and they always exceed our expectations. Kudos to all the designers and their
crews of workmen for a job well done.
Special thanks to Paula Jane D’Amato who graciously offered her time and energy to this project. She willingly shared her fond
memories of the years she spent living at 12 S. Suffolk Avenue.
Thank you to all of our wonderful RNS members and our loyal volunteers who dedicate numerous hours in bringing the Show
House to fruition. You are the best!
Terry Calvi, Chair
Owners of La Dolce Vita
On a cloudy summer afternoon, our day was made special by the visit to the Show House of the McManus family.
Dr. Steve McManus, who works for Atlantic Medical Imaging in Central Jersey, wife Shanda and daughter Madison came to
visit their “old” home. They told us stories about the home that they loved and changes that they had made.
The kitchen was a delight for them – it had been their dream years ago. The D’Amato family was the first owner, Dorothy
Nahas the second owner, the McManus family number three and to date, Dick and Maryanne Lucas.
We enjoyed the McManus family and hope to see them on a future visit.

2009 Preview Party
A very special house, “La Dolce Vita” was the scene of our annual Preview Party, celebrating the
anniversary of our “Show House at the Shore”. And what a scene it was!! A big thank you to our host
Bill McCullough and to Paula Jane D’Amato, who grew up in the house as the daughter of Paul “Skinny”
D’Amato. Their involvement was greatly appreciated, as was our hardworking chairwomen Shirley
Belitsky, Anna Humphrey and Andrea Moss, all contributing to create the most fabulous party ever!!
The balmy summer weather was a bonus to an already festive
evening filled with friends of Paula Jane and the many RNS supporters returning year after year. The bartenders and service staff
of Local 54 looked smashing in their fedora hats and black tee
shirts, highlighting the 500 Club, the legendary nightclub owned
by Skinny and known for bringing together Frank Sinatra, Dean
Martin, Jerry Lewis, etc…the rest is showbiz history.
The happy and well-dressed crowd munched on White House subs,
Cookie, Kathy, Roe, Marty
tomato pies and deli wraps, China Dumpling’s delicious hors d’oeuvres,
Mediterranean dips, made by Nicole Harris, as well as fabulous shrimp donated by Sage. Cheese and fruit
platters were beautifully arranged amongst the stellar desserts created by the many pastry chefs from the
casinos, as well as local restaurants. We are so grateful for their support. A show stopping table highlighting their famous breads was presented by Formica Bakery. Even Frank, its owner, showed up!
La Dolce Vita, “the good life”, was a celebration that will long be remembered as a dazzling kick off
for a most successful Show House season. All the departing guests agreed they had a fantastic
evening and are all looking forward to next year’s Preview Party.

My Dearest Show House Captains,
This past summer we teamed-up to oversee La Dolce
Vita, the RNS Show House at the Shore. Supervising
one or two shifts a week, each of you directed the daily
activities of our hundreds of volunteers. As captains you
digested scores of rules and regulations relaying this
information to each volunteer that covered a room in the
Skinny D’Amato home.
Fast and furious are words that come to mind. As a captain, you were multitasking as an instructor (let me show
you how that Toto toilet works in the basement), head of
security (everyone in their room), information central (I
can find that answer), paper pusher (all hear say “I”), raffle
ticket seller and furniture purveyor (lots of red dots), trouble
shooter (we can remedy that) and above all, “diplomats”! It
was a truly diverse job. The title “RNS Show House
Captain” is well worth a line on your resume! You all did
your jobs so beautifully and professionally and are well qualified to supervise our next Show House at the Shore.
It was my absolute pleasure to have worked with all of you:
Shirley Belitsky
Monica Jarvis
Lois Braithwaite
Andrea Kleinman
Franca Dowe
Tammi Pittaro
Shannon Goff
Kathy Tagg
Susan Gross
Lois Shohen-Brown
Janet Harmelin
Cookie Vilensky
And pinch hitters Diane Lennon & Terry Calvi
I would like to personally thank each and every one of
you for your efforts on behalf of the Show House at the
Shore and RNS, you truly made a difference.
Thank you again,
Chris Adams

Our guest speaker was Paula Jane D’Amato, daughter of Betty Jane and Skinny D’Amato whose family resided in this year’s Show
House, “La Dolce Vita”, from 1961 to 1986. Paula Jane told many wonderful stories as she reminisced about her growing up years
in an apartment above the 500 club (owned by her father, Skinny) and then her life at 12 South Suffolk Avenue, Ventnor, surrounded by celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Jerry Lewis, Bob Newhart, Eddie Fisher and Danny

Healing Arts
The work of more
than 40 artists and/or

“I was in awe of all the local talent we
witnessed while making our selections,”
said Dee Kassis, RN, chair, AtlantiCare
Foundation Board of Trustees and member of the AtlantiCare Arts Committee,
of Absecon, NJ. “Our focus was to make
sure the pieces we chose were of a superior caliber and in keeping with our theme
of healing through nature. The awesome
array of pieces will have a tremendous
impact on patients, family and staff.”
“Members of AtlantiCare’s Arts
Committee carefully considered how
each piece of work would affect patients,
families and staff,” said Gary Hill, committee member and vice president of
communications, Metropolitan Business
& Citizens Association, of Atlantic City.
“All of us have known someone touched
by cancer. We were honored to serve on
this committee. We wish all who will visit
AtlantiCare’s new Cancer Center well.”
Joanie San Chirico, of Toms River, an
artist and cancer survivor, designed a triptych titled, “Woodlands Sunrise.” Each of
her three paintings is 50 inches high by 30
inches wide; the two outer paintings show
abstract trees with dappled sunlight and the
middle painting depicts the forest floor with
a blue sky. “If I can make another cancer
patient see something in my work that may
ease their mind, then I’ve accomplished
something significant,” said San Chirico.

Absecon and their team, Michael
Delfiandra and Ryan Noll, of Egg Harbor
Township; and Erin Endicott, of Port

Community Advisory Group
AtlantiCare’s Cancer Center Community
Advisory Group of individuals from
throughout the community affected by
cancer, shared ideas and recommendations
for the new facility. Members included cancer survivors, family members and loved
ones of those who have had cancer, and
health care professionals. This group continues to meet and provides valuable
insight AtlantiCare incorporates into its
cancer care programs and services.
“Since they’ve experienced cancer treatment first-hand, their insights into what
works well, what could be improved, and
what would make the experience more
pleasant was truly invaluable,” said Lauren
Ochs, executive director AtlantiCare
Oncology Services.
“A cancer diagnosis brings many changes,”
said Craig Keyser, chairman, ARMC Board
of Trustees. “One of them is a lot of time in
treatment centers. We envisioned a bright,
airy, comfortable, positive, hopeful, thoughtfully-designed cancer treatment center that
would help make the experience of cancer
just a little bit better. Everything we envisioned has come to life, and then some.”

FROM THE EXPERTS
2009 Report to the Community
Bacharach Institute for Rehabilitation
celebrated 85 years of serving the rehabilitation needs of the community in May
on Mothers Day.
More than eight decades after opening
its doors in Longport, Bacharach continues to be a leader in quality of services
and programs of excellence.
Today Bacharach has physical, occupational and speech and hearing services for
children on an outpatient basis at the
main campus in Pomona.
The entire sundrenched second floor of
the Leonard M. Hollander Ambulatory
Care Center is filled with pediatric treatment rooms including a pediatric gym, a
quiet room and a sensory stimulation
room. Parents may accompany their children or observe the therapies from televisions outside of the therapy area.
Hearing services for children begin at
birth when babies who are thought to have
failed a hearing screen are referred for further testing. Bacharach boasts the most
cutting edge testing equipment, including
objective measures that detect hearing
response without a cooperating infant.
Adults with hearing loss may seek treatment at either our main campus or at our
convenient second location in Somers
Point. Our four audiologists, under the
leadership of Dr. Janet Revelle, are
licensed hearing aid dispensers and offer
the newest computerized digital state of
the art designs in hearing instruments.
Speaking of convenience, Bacharach has
14 physical and occupational therapy
centers in 4 counties: Ocean County,
Atlantic County, Cape May County and
Cumberland County. If you need PT or
OT, we hope that one of these locations
10
will be perfect for you: Manahawkin,
Tuckerton, Brigantine, Atlantic City,
Galloway, Pomona, Mays Landing, Egg
Harbor Township, Bargaintown, Margate,
Somers Point, Ocean City North, Ocean
City South, Cape May Court House, or
Vineland.
At our main campus in Pomona,
Bacharach has a Cardiac Rehab Program
open to individuals after heart attack,
stent implantation, bypass or angina.
RNS has generously funded the Cardiac
Rehab Program – buying exercise equipment, an EECP table, and three patient
transportation vans to ferry needy
patients to and from cardiac rehab. Even
the monitors patients wear while exercising were purchased through the generous
gift of RNS.
Other outpatient services at Bacharach
include psychology, neuropsychology,
speech and language therapy, PT and OT,
and sleep and neurodiagnostics testing.
Sleep apnea is a dangerous condition
closely related to high blood pressure and
obesity, and Bacharach’s newly completed, eight-bed unit sets the standard for
excellence in sleep testing. Located across
from the main campus on Jimmie Leeds
Road in Pomona, the new Bacharach
Institute for Rehabilitation Sleep Center
offers flat screen TV, luxurious appointments, a shower in every room, continental breakfast and highly trained staff of
specialists under the leadership of a sleep
boarded neurologist.
Few rehabilitation hospitals offer both
Level One Acute rehabilitation and SubAcute Level Two rehabilitation in the
same location. Our subacute, Renaissance
Pavilion, has the highest ratings in
Atlantic County. It has 29 beds and is
specifically geared for patients after joint
replacement therapy. Our acute rehab
hospital, Bacharach Institute for
Rehabilitation, is unequalled in the
region, with 10 CARF accreditations for
rehab programs, as well as the gold seal
from the Joint Commission.
From scope of services, to convenience to
excellence, it would be hard to find a similar specialty hospital either near or far
that offered so much in rehabilitation care.

Cape Regional Medical Center continues to appreciate the hard work and dedication of the many members of the Ruth
Newman Shapiro Cancer and Heart
Fund. Your on-going support to the
Thomas and Claire Brodesser, Jr. Cancer
Center and the purchase of our Image
Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) technology is affording many cancer patients
in Cape May County the advantage of
receiving sophisticated cancer services
close to home.
In May 2009, Cape Radiology, an affiliate of Cape Regional Medical Center,
added state-of-the-art digital mammography in the fight against breast cancer.
There are many advantages to a digital
system including:
• Digital mammography provides physicians with clear and precise digital
images, rather than images on x-ray
film.
• The system provides the largest field of
view currently available; this can be
extremely helpful for precision imaging of patients with diverse shapes and
sizes.
• The images are clear and easy to read
and offer excellent views of the breast,
especially near the skin line, chest
wall, and in women with diverse
breast tissue types.
• The digital image is available in ten
seconds, eliminating the wait for traditional films to be developed.

FROM THE EXPERTS
In September 2009, the Society of Chest
Pain Centers recognized Cape Regional
Medical Center as an Accredited Chest
Pain Center. The goal of the Chest Pain
Center is to significantly reduce the mortality rate of patients with chest pain by
meeting or exceeding the extremely high
standards established by the Society.
Cape Regional Medical Center demonstrated our expertise and commitment to
high quality care of chest pain patients by
meeting or exceeding the Society’s stringent criteria as evident by an on-site evaluation by a Society review team. Only 500
hospitals in the United States have
achieved the Society’s Chest Pain Center
accreditation. This accreditation is another step in our continuing efforts to provide
the highest quality of care to our patients.
We are all very proud of the exceptional care provided by the exceptional people at Cape Regional Medical Center.
The Medical Center has continued to
grow to meet the needs of our community and we are grateful to RNS for partnering with us and providing financial
support to help with the capital purchases of new technology. Cape Regional
Medical Center is committed to supporting the tremendous work of RNS
throughout the year by providing volunteers for their various fund-raising
events. The annual holiday bake sale
sponsored by the Volunteer Department
at Cape Regional Medical Center and
Cape May County Sturdy Bank raised
over $940 for the benefit of RNS. Cape
Regional Medical Center continues to
share the great news of RNS to our constituency in our effort to bring greater
awareness in Cape May County.
Cape Regional Medical Center is an
affiliate of Penn Medicine. Our Cancer
Center together with the Penn Cancer
Network is committed to providing the
best possible cancer treatment available
to our patients. Cape Regional is also a
member of the Penn Medicine Cardiac
Network. This affiliation provides residents with physicians from the Penn
Presbyterian Medical Center Heart team,
working in tandem with the patient’s
local cardiologist, to provide them the
best in cardiac care.

Medical Center’s Radiation Oncology

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It is my great privilege to let you know that President Barack Obama and Commerce Secretary Gary
Locke have named AtlantiCare a recipient of the 2009 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.
The prestigious Baldrige Award is only given to a handful of businesses in the country each year
judged to be outstanding in several categories, including leadership, customer focus, and quality
results. This year, only five organizations were recognized, and we are one of only two healthcare organizations who received this honor.
This recognition is extremely meaningful for AtlantiCare because if affirms our 22-year quest for
excellence, involving the extraordinary vision, commitment and hard work of our trustees, our
leadership team, our staff, our physicians, our volunteers, and our community.
You can be proud to know how deeply and sincerely this organization cares about improving the
quality of life in our region. The Baldrige Award reinforces what I believe our patients and customers already know—that AtlantiCare is truly committed to building a healthy community.
Baldrige Award winners have the opportunity and the responsibility of sharing our performance
excellence strategies with other organizations in the country. We are looking forward to acting
as mentors and role models to others who aspire to offer the highest quality of care and service
to their patients and customers.
We will formally accept the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award during a ceremony in
Washington, D.C., in 2010.
The receipt of this award is not the end of our quality journey. In many ways it is just the beginning. We will celebrate for sure, but then we’ll get right back to improving the quality of care
and service we provide for this community.
Thank you for your support and for your role in this extraordinary accomplishment.
David Tilton, President and CEO

Kay Tongue Carnation Award
It was my privilege to know Kay Tongue who was the consummate RNS volunteer.
This year’s Kay Tongue award winner is also the consummate RNS Volunteer.
She is always there whenever anything needs to
be done, quietly answering the call. Never too
busy, too early, too late, too difficult, or too tired.
you know it will be done quietly, without fanfare,
and, of course, done well.
RNS is very fortunate to have this incredible lady
giving her heart and soul to our all-volunteer
organization, since the day she came on the Board,
in 1988.
We love and honor you, Elizabeth Greenberg.

Spotlight
The RNS Board is a group of dedicated, hard
working women.
The old quote “there’s one in every crowd” rings true
with this Board.
Terry Calvi’s “I’ll do it” rang loud and clear when RNS
asked for a Show House chair. And, what a fabulous,
Terry Calvi
efficient, pleasant and delight she is to work with.
Her smile is bright, her energy catching, her words soft and her dedication sincere.
I think we should make her chair for life!
Terry, all of us thank you, from our Board to our volunteers, designers to their
workmen, and the visitors who make it all worthwhile.

Bag Ladies Luncheon 2009
Seven really is a “Lucky Number”, especially for RNS and our 7th Annual Bag Ladies
Luncheon, which was held on September 24, 2009 at Greate Bay Country Club, Somers Point.
Once again, Bernie Robbins Fine Jewelers was our Presenting Sponsor and generously donated
a $2,000.00 Judith Leiber black evening bag for our raffle. Bernie Robbins Fine Jewelers is our
007! The “Bond” that helps to make this fundraiser a winning game. Congratulations to Janet
Leavy, an RNS Board Member for buying the winning ticket.
A special thanks to Accents, The Perfect Accessory. From Vera Bradley credit card holders for
everyone who came, to the overwhelming number of the most desirable handbags donated for
bidding, Accents has definitely helped to make this affair a continued success.
As always, Chic Shoes and Sandra and Roy’s were major players. Your continued support is
appreciated. Each year Boscov’s Cosmetics Department donates a beautiful gift basket. This
year the basket, worth $500.00, was won by me, Joanne Kenny, an RNS Board Member!!
Most sincere thanks to Mazzeo’s Fruit and Produce, Northfield, and Edible Arrangements, of
Somers Point. Both donated, for the second year, gorgeous, large, floral-looking fruit baskets.
They were exciting and delicious prizes. Thanks loads!
Our newest sponsor, Lesley Levin of Lesley L, who is the niece of Rose Newman, not only
donated several handbags, but also offered a 50% off coupon to her store for every ‘gently’ used
handbag donated. Wow! Did she get a lot of bags! Welcome aboard.
A special last minute feature was sent by DKNY - The Walk. They did not have a handbag to
donate but still wanted to support RNS, so they sent a new item, a “Cubbie.” Their model,
Joanne, demonstrated how to wear this Wrap, thirteen different ways and also gave us one to
donate as a door prize.
A second raffle, with a one-of-a-kind, red satin handbag, made especially for RNS by Sheila
Weiss, was won by Muriel Elliot. A vintage golf bag from Atlantic City Country Club, a large
orchid from Waldor Orchids and a two-hour consultation from John Kelly, one of our Show
House designers, were added additions this year.
Each table was graced with beautiful orchids from Waldor Orchids that were donated by The
Stuart & Estelle Price Foundation. Everyone went home with Mary Kay Cosmetic items
donated by Charlotte Jackson of Somers Point.
Friendly bidding competition was the “name of the game” on our very large selection of new and gently used designer handbags. Much fun was had by all, especially the high speed shopping for bargains,
in our $15.00 room. There were so many bags to choose from that even “floor” shopping was fun.
Our sincerest appreciation, to all the stores and individuals, who very generously donated to this
fun day! Please, when shopping, patronize these stores who continue to “Make a Difference” in
our communities.
Special thanks from the Bag Ladies Committee to everyone who helped with everything from
donations, mailings, setup, pickup, selling raffles, check out, and all the other jobs too numerous
to mention. Our dedicated and hard working members are ever tireless when it comes to fundraising and helping others.
Thank you from the co-chairs:

Gift Wrap 2009
This year’s gift wrap proved to be as much fun and
rewarding as ever. We were able to serve our customers for four weeks of the holiday season wrapping
gifts large and small. Some of them were so large that
it took two of us to handle the box and two of us to
rip the paper. As the weeks approached Christmas we
became busier and busier. We even ran out of many
sizes of boxes and beautiful papers.
Linda Kolman wrapping
Michelle Bronkesh wrappping
Most of our board members and many of our regular members worked several shifts to get the job
done. Many of them brought friends and relatives who are not members but have been with us for
many seasons. We were glad to initiate some new workers as well. Their talents were obvious as the
clever variety of beautiful packages were lifted over the counter to pleased and delighted customers.
Christmas eve saw long lines waiting to have their last minute gifts wrapped even after the mall
closed. Our last customer was a musician, Jamel Washington, from Manhattan whose mother lives
in Atlantic City. He returned three times and waited patiently until all his family and girlfriend had
beautifully wrapped packages to go under the tree.
