World-renowned saxophonist Branford Marsalis made a very special appearance at the newly renovated Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre to receive the 13th Annual Lifetime Inspiration Award. The award, bestowed annually by the Lifetime Assistance Foundation, was presented to Branford Marsalis by WXXI's Thomas Hampson and Patrick Burke, Regional President of First Niagara Financial Group and Chairman of the Foundation Board. Mr. Burke addressed the crowd with a very powerful message, saying: "Tonight we celebrate our wonderfully supportive community and the role and responsibility each of us has in improving the quality of life for all citizens. From problem solvers and catalysts, to philanthropists and volunteers, we are all critical partners in making our community a better place. Our community is healthier and more prosperous as a result of Lifetime's success in supporting our families, friends and neighbors." Known for his innovative spirit and broad musical scope, Marsalis is equally at home on the stages of the world's greatest clubs and concert halls. Among the most socially conscious voices in the arts, Marsalis quickly immersed himself in relief efforts following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. He is the honorary chair of the New Orleans Habitat for Humanity effort to rebuild the city, and together with his friend Harry Connick, Jr. conceived the Habitat Musicians' Village currently under construction in the city's historic Ninth Ward. Whether on the stage, in the recording studio, in the classroom or in the community, Branford Marsalis represents a commitment to musical excellence and a determination to keep music at the forefront.
Branford, who only does two or three benefit concerts a year, shared that he will only do so for those organizations who are most sincere in their mission, praising the work of Lifetime Assistance. He then treated the audience to an extraordinary evening of jazz that was filled with unexpected surprises. Branford Marsalis and his band

Lifetime Assistance extends its heartfelt appreciation for the work of more than 400 volunteers from Eastman Kodak, HSBC Bank and Patrick Electric during this year's United Way Day of Caring. These workers said "so long" to cubicles and ringing telephones and "hello" to Lifetime! Many volunteers spent the day painting and staining outside furniture and decks and completing extensive landscaping projects including preparing gardens and planting bushes and flowers. The volunteers worked at over 35 Lifetime Assistance sites, including our Paul Road headquarters, Clarkson Sensory Park and many homes. Daniel King, a Spencerport resident who works for Kodak's Entertainment Imaging Division, said, "This is a good way to get outside and do something meaningful, and an opportunity to help others."

All Aboard at
St. Luke's Church
Over the last few years, Chili Day Hab's relationship with St. Luke's church has blossomed. Several groups rotate to volunteer at St. Luke's on a weekly basis. The participants provide light cleaning as well as folding/collating of the weekly church bulletin. This year, St. Luke's asked the volunteer groups to brainstorm and generate ideas on how the church could show appreciation. Participants suggested a creative, fun activity — taking a boat ride! So, 27 day services volunteers, 11 staffers, and two representatives from St. Luke's boarded the Sam Patch tour boat in Pittsford for a tour along the canal. For many, it was their first-ever experience on a boat and everyone had a great time. Thank you to St. Luke's for Brian Mann,
providing such a special recognition and happy memories. LAI Special Olympians Bring Home Medals

Schools Learn from
Field of Dreams
When the Holley School District wanted to learn more about community service, they knew to call Lifetime Assistance. Lifetime made a presentation to Holley's transition classroom, where special education students from ages 18-21 begin the transition from school to work or day programs. Students were so intrigued that a new volunteer opportunity was created.
Lifetime staff and program participants, students and Lewis Passarell, Supervisor of the Holley Department of Public Works, worked side by side to spruce up a Holley park in preparation for the bicentennial celebration. So many people stopped and admired our hard work that Supervisor Passarell asked if we could make Holley a permanent volunteer placement. This year, Lifetime volunteers and Holley transition students visited Holley parks twice a month to keep the parks looking wonderful. Another great Lifetime learning experience!

Some people are wary of change, but not Tim Kelly! He has been embracing change and persevering in pursing his personal vocational goals.
After working for several years in the food service industry, Tim expressed interest in a new career path – in physical fitness, with his "dream job" to become a personal trainer. Tim began his work in this area as a weekly volunteer at the Westside YMCA, greeting people as they entered the gym and doing light maintenance on gym equipment. It was certain that as the "Y" staff got to know Tim, they would quickly find more for him to do.
Sure enough, Tim was formally hired as an intern at the Westside YMCA. Now Tim is working in facilities management at the "Y" Brian "Slapshot" Gundy
