by Amanda CookWhen the lights dim and the curtain

rises on each new season at Stages St.Louis, there is one lady who feels the

joy and excitement of opening nightmore acutely than any other audiencemember.

Betty Von Hoffmann has dedicatedthe past 24 years to making her sonMichael Hamiltons vision of a not-for-prot professional theatre company

a reality. And she couldnt be moreproud of the results.

I volunteered to help society, mycommunity, and people in the theatreworld. I went to New York and sawhow badly they treated all these youngpeople who wanted a career on Broad-way, Von Hoffmann said, a formerlong-time Kirkwood resident. I knewthat we were going to have a theatrewhere everyone was welcome to audi-tion and become part of a family work-ing together.

She will be one of 19 honored onNov. 14 with an Ageless-RemarkableSt. Louisan Award from the St. An-drews Resources for Seniors System.

Stages St. Louis started operationsout of Von Hoffmanns ve-room Kirk-wood home in 1987. Tickets and sales

were handled in the living room, oneroom served as an ofce, costumes

were sewn in the basement, and setsand props were created in the backyard.

Since then, the theatre companyhas grown to a $3.2 million annualbudget with over 9,000 subscribersand 46,000 patrons. They also have aprofessional academy that trains stu-dents in musical theatre arts.

I was attending one of our events afew years ago and a young lady asked

my son if he would introduce us. Shehad received one of the scholarshipsthat I helped coordinate and she want-ed to let me know how much I hadtouched her life, she said.

Von Hoffmanns volunteer workstarted early in life with the Salva-

tion Army. She said she joined withher two sisters as a way to make herfather proud.

She came from a long line of peoplewho wanted to give back: her grand-father immigrated from Europe and,once he became successful with aprinting business, created a soupkitchen in downtown St. Louis to helpthe homeless.

She thinks his genes, as well as les-sons in hard work and making a goodlife for the family, are what shaped

her views on the world.I live for people and trying to help

them, especially my two sons. Im avery happy person and believe I wasput on this Earth to try to bring hap-piness to others. I am a giver, not ataker, said Von Hoffmann.

St. Andrews Resources for Seniorsis hosting the Eighth Annual Ageless-Remarkable Saint Louisans Galawhich will honor 19 area seniors overage 75 on Nov. 14 in the Chase ParkPlazas Khorrasan Ballroom. Wells

Fargo Advisors is the presenting spon-sor.

These honorees include Betty VonHoffmann, a former long-time Kirk-wood resident, Winfred Kenner of Af-fton and Joseph Birk Jr. of WebsterGroves.

The gala will celebrate the com-mitment, vivacity and generosity of

these individuals and their amazingcontributions to the St. Louis commu-nity well past traditional retirementage. With varying backgrounds, tal-ents and vitality that would put most40-year-olds to shame, the honorees

are defying the stereotypical idea thatindividuals fall into restful retire-ment as they grow older.

We again get the pleasure of rec-ognizing a group of incredible seniorswho are redening what it means to

grow old, said Mary Alice Ryan, presi-dent and CEO of St. Andrews. St. An-drews has a vision of a society where

all older adults are respected, produc-tive, secure and fullled; our mission

is to empower seniors and their care-givers through choice and options thatfoster a vital life. We chose these el-ders as individuals who personify our

goals and we applaud them for demon-strating that age is truly nothing morethan a number.

St. Andrews is non-sectarian, faith-based and expert at serving both olderadults and their caregivers.

by Amanda CookJoe Birk of Webster Groves is a

living conrmation of the advice that

parents often give their children: Geta law degree because you can do somany different things with it.

Since beginning his professional

career with Union Electric (later Ame-renUE) in 1948, Birk has served invarious capacities for countless St.Louis non-prots during some of their

most exciting phases.He was there to help during the for-

mation of Area Resources for Commu-nity and Human Services (ARCHS).

He played a vital role in extendingthe life of the Emergency ChildrensHome (ECHO) in North St. Louis.

And, after completing some high-prole legislative work on behalf of

his employer, Birk was tapped by lo-cal movers and shakers to be a part ofa little project that would become theEdward Jones Dome and the reloca-

tion of the Rams from California to St.Louis.

Because of these efforts and many

more, Birk will be honored with the Ageless-Remarkable St. LouisanAward from the St. Andrews Resourc-es for Seniors System at its annualevent on Nov. 14.

Ive always had a feeling that Iought to give back because Ive beenvery blessed in life. I was able to go toschool and thought there were a va-riety of things I had expertise in thatcould be used to make St. Louis a bet-ter community. I really look for ways

to add something thats meaningful,says Birk.

Some of the other organizations

that have benetted from Birks exper-tise include CORO Midwest, The SaintLouis Art Museum, the Regional Com-merce and Growth Association, theUnited Way, the Missouri Chamber ofCommerce, and the Supreme Court ofMissouri Historical Society.

He currently serves on the board ofdirectors for Bethesda Health Groupand is a member of two committeesthat support the work of Variety theChildrens Charity of St. Louis.

Its personally enriching to talkwith those who are out there, to learnabout their services and how they go

about their work. You get a tremen-dous education on how people live anddepend on others. Its inspiring timespent, Birk said.

He encourages others to get involvedwith volunteer work because he be-lieves that the way to progress isthrough ideas, opinions, and debate.

There are a lot of people outthere who have a lot of ability, goodideas, assets they can bring to thetable, and theyre untapped, Bick

said. I would tell them to look at whatinterests them and keep learning be-cause theyll nd it very rewarding.

by Amanda CookWinfred Wimpy Kenners story

may sound like many St. Louis menof his generation. The Affton residentgraduated from McKinley High School,

served heroically in Europe duringWorld War II, then returned home tostart a family and work hard at a good

job with McDonnell Aircraft.Where the 86-year-old differs from

the average person is how he has giv-en his time to helping others duringhis retirement. You can nd him all

over the city, from Clayton to south St.Louis County, lling volunteer roles

and supporting the causes he caresabout most. He will be honored withan Ageless-Remarkable St. Louisan

Award from the St. Andrews Resourc-es for Seniors System at its annualevent on Nov.14.

Im not much of a homebody, so I

like to get out and do things as much

as I can. Im afraid of becoming a couchpotato. And I joke with my kids that itkeeps me out of the taverns, Kennersaid.

Kenner spends several days a weekmaking history come alive for visitorsat the Jefferson Barracks Museum,where he gives tours of the PowderMagazine. He began volunteeringthere when funding for staff dried up.

A lot of organizations cant affordto pay people for these jobs right now.The Friends of Jefferson Barracks put

out the call ve years ago and we had

87 people step up. But our number isdown to around 65 and we need morepeople to ll in, Kenner said.

During tax season, Kenner helpswith St. Louis Countys Older Resi-dents Program (CORP) by schedulingappointments for those who need as-sistance preparing their forms. He isa board member of the University ofMissouri Extension Service, wherehe works with a group that overseesspending and programming.

Kenner also serves on the board

of the American Railway Ca-

boose Historical Education Society.This means that he gets to help Santawith holiday appearances and assistwith train tours to places like KansasCity and Chicago.

I think the best thing about megetting this award is that it will givea little publicity to the organizationsI work with, Kenner said. Ive oftensaid that they are the best kept secretsin St. Louis County. There are peoplewho live within a few miles of the mu-seum and dont know its there or who

have never heard of the train tours.

There are currently 40 million peo-ple (12 percent), age 65 and older inthe U.S. according to the U.S. CensusBureau.

Although 65 and up has tradition-ally been viewed as old age, that per-ception is changing due to the increas-ing inuence of Baby Boomers.

Todays older adults are single-handedly bringing about a culturechange demanding more controlover their lives, becoming more social-ly active and engaged, living more ac-tive lifestyles and living much longerlives than just a few decades ago.

The rst of the Baby Boom gener-ation (people born between 1945 and1964) just turned 65 this year, which

means retirement for many in this co-hort. In fact, very few individuals overthe age of 65 still participate in thework force.

From a nancial perspective, how

can adults approaching retirementage prepare themselves for this impor-tant transition? Are there any legalconcerns specic to this stage of life?

What roles do continuing educationand life-long learning play in adjust-

ment to retirement? And how can oneremain occupied and meaningfully en-gaged after leaving ones work?

Eric Goedereis, Ph.D., an assis-tant professor of Psychology at Web-ster University and is the director ofWebsters graduate program in ger-ontology, will address these issuesat Webster Universitys 22nd annualGerontology Workshop set for Friday,

Oct. 15, at the universitys SunnenLounge. The workshop runs from 8:30a.m. to 2 p.m., and costs $50, $25 forseniors and students. Fees includelunch.

The Volunteer Fair, from 2 to 3:30p.m., is free and open to the public.

The workshop is recommended forretirees and other adults who are con-cerned about approaching this stageof life and meeting the challenges of

retirement. It is equally appropriatefor professionals who work with seniorclients, social workers, and other com-munity agencies.
