This October, we invite you to step into the shadows of The Phantom Soirée, a Victorian Gothic Halloween party benefitting Hope Community Resources. Get your tickets today! https://secure.qgiv.com/event/thephantomsoiree/ Guests will be welcomed into the ballroom for an evening filled with otherworldly fun, including dancing; Costume Contests; a Wednesday Addams dance-off; live and silent auctions; carnival-style Halloween games and activities; a silent Halloween film; grab bags and raffles; photo booths to capture all the vintage costumes; hors d’oeuvres, desserts, and cocktails; and more! Guests are encouraged to dress in their most hauntingly elegant costumes, with a chance to win prizes in the Costume Contest in both individual and group categories. Think vintage, Victorian, or gothic—gowns of lace and velvet, cloaks and corsets, masquerade masks. Channel the mystery of a cloaked phantom, the dark allure of a gothic vampire, the eerie charm of a fortune teller. Consider characters from The Addams Family, Hocus Pocus, Phantom of the Opera, Sleepy Hollow, Dracula, or Corpse Bride.
We’re excited to celebrate Maria “Ruvi” Lesano for reaching her 10-year anniversary with Hope! Ruvi started at Hope as an on-call payroll assistant, then moved into roles as a Document Control Clerk and later into the Records department where she is now our Health Info Management Specialist. She has helped us modernize processes and convert decades of paper records into electronic files. She enjoys uncovering Hope’s history within old documents, describing it as “finding hidden treasures” that tell the story of Hope. “This connection to the past makes the work feel meaningful and adds depth to my role in preserving the records,” Ruvi said. Her supervisor said, “Ruvi brings exceptional knowledge, experience, and work ethic to the team. She consistently contributes innovative ideas to enhance records management and is always seeking ways to improve departmental efficiency. We’re incredibly lucky to have her on the Records team!” When asked what has kept her at Hope for a decade, Ruvi shared that it’s the culture of recognition and support that makes her feel valued and connected. “My colleagues and I are often acknowledged for our efforts, which motivate us to perform at our best. This positive environment fosters a sense of belonging and makes me feel like my contributions truly matter to the team and the organization.”
Congratulations Margaret Grasse on 15 years with Hope! Margaret started at Hope as a Team Associate, supporting adults on I/DD waivers to live independently, and serving Alaskan youth with behavioral issues in the least restrictive environment possible. After earning both her Baccalaureate of Social Work (BSW) and Baccalaureate of Nursing (BSN) from UAA, she then became Hope’s Community Health Nurse, where she continues to serve individuals and families across Kodiak, Kenai, Mat-Su, and Anchorage. When asked what keeps her working at Hope, Margaret shared, “The individuals and families enrich my life as they grow and mature. I love providing them nursing supports, using my life experiences, combined with learned skills garnered during my academic career at [UAA].” Jo-Anne Sullivan, Deputy Director of Health & Wellness, has worked closely with Margaret. She shared how thankful she is to have Margaret on our team. “She always puts her whole heart into every support she provides—and we all love her laughter and passion, and the amazing flowers she grows!” Outside of work, Margaret enjoys spending time with her husband, adult children, and three grandsons; singing at church, and tending to her English-style garden and making floral arrangements from it for various events. Thank you, Margaret, for your dedication, compassion, and heart. Happy 15th Hope Anniversary! 🎉
