The Lighthouse for the Blind, Inc.
The Seattle Lighthouse for the Blind Foundation
Annual Report FY 2005

Message from the Board Chair

I am proud to report that the Seattle Lighthouse excelled in meeting both our financial bottom line and in fulfilling our mission of creating opportunities for people who are blind, Deaf-Blind, and blind with other disabilities this year. Thanks to the outstanding commitment of employees, volunteers, and generous members of our community, the Lighthouse surpassed its past performance and continued to thrive as a leading social enterprise.

I want to commend our exceptional production, machining, and sales teams for a record year in returns. Altogether, we saw $31.5 million in revenue from sales of Lighthouse-made products, our highest sales numbers to date. Our easel line surpassed $3.1 million, $1 million more than projected. Our long-standing relationship with The Boeing Company yielded $5.2 million in revenue from sale of quality airplane parts manufactured in our machine shop. Many thanks to the dedicated employees who made this record achievement possible.

Our revenues came in at $500,000 over budget, allowing us to secure new contracts and meet our mission through expanding employment opportunities for people who are blind. In 2005, we began negotiations to add a third component to our canteen line. Thanks to the efforts of Lighthouse staff, we have now secured a three-year contract to produce canteen cups for the federal government.

Our financial success, coupled with generous community donations, helped us to meet our goal of creating brand new employment opportunities for blind individuals. With the national unemployment rate remaining at over 70% for blind people, we remain firmly dedicated to expanding employment opportunities and opportunities for advancement here at the Lighthouse. I am proud to share that in 2005, the Lighthouse successfully added twenty additional jobs to our roster. As of September 30, 2005, we employed one hundred and fifty-four people who are blind, Deaf-Blind, or blind with another disability.

While our sales revenue helped us to expand our operations and employment, generous community donations helped us to expand our training programs for employees and community members with visual disabilities. In our Employee and Community Services program, we added staff to both the Orientation and Mobility (O & M) program and to our Deaf-Blind Technology Training Center (TTC). O & M instructors successfully met the challenge presented by Metro transit bus tunnel closures in September, spending numerous hours meeting the crucial need for re-routing training. TTC staff served over forty-five Deaf-Blind people in learning to use computer technology for access to information and communication.

2005 also saw the end of the ACE/SOS program for blind working-age adults, leaving an opportunity for a new, Lighthouse-sponsored computer education program to begin. We are now in the midst of a fundraising campaign to support a computer training program for blind Lighthouse employees and community members and plan to implement the program in the year ahead.

Another highlight in 2005 was our twenty-seventh annual Deaf-Blind retreat. This yearÕs retreat was a truly international event with Deaf-Blind individuals from Canada, Australia, Japan, and the United States attending. The event activities included a panel of our international guests sharing valuable information about Deaf-Blind experiences around the globe.

I want to offer my sincere thanks to all of the generous individuals, corporations, foundations, and other organizations that made it possible for the Lighthouse to continue serving people with visual disabilities through helping to preserve and expand the vital programs and supports that are such a key part of living with independence and self-sufficiency.

In addition to the Lighthouse employees and community members who made our success possible, we also owe a debt of thanks to two representatives in our government for their work on our behalf. This past year, we honored Senator Patty Murray and Representative Jim McDermott with the JWOD Champion award. The JWOD Champion award honors members of congress who have acted in a major support role for National Industries for the Blind agencies. Both Senator Murray and Representative McDermott have worked tirelessly to advance opportunities for blind and Deaf-Blind individuals through their support of Lighthouse programs and employment.

I am deeply grateful to be part of a team of people with such an exceptional spirit of cooperation. Through the hard work and collaboration of the Lighthouse team with the larger community, we are reaching new heights in realizing our mission of creating and enhancing opportunities for people with visual disabilities. I would like to thank each of you who worked to make 2005 such a resounding triumph.

Employee of the Year: Deng Kong

When she was twelve, Deng Kong and her family fled Laos for the United States. They spent eight months in a refugee camp before immigrating to the United States. By this time, Deng was totally blind due to untreated glaucoma.

She remembers this as being a very lonely time in her young life with no friends and only her family members to talk to. ÒPeople avoided me as if I was a plague. People with disabilities are viewed as being stupid, useless, possessed by demons and, more often than not, are being locked away in institutions,Ó Deng says.

Upon arriving in Seattle in 1978, Deng felt overwhelmed by Western culture. She recalls, ÒI was in for one heck of a culture shock. First, women in bikinis in public? Back at home, women did not show more than their faces, arms, and what was below their knees. Then there was how a child addressed older people, by first names! That was considered to be an ill brought up child in many Asian countries. We used the term ÔuncleÕ or ÔauntÕ to address older folks. Although they were not family related, it was a polite and respectful way to address them. Then there was the showing affection in public. Hugging, kissing, and holding hands – wow!Ó

Deng set to work attaining English fluency as well as learning independent living skills for people who are blind. She gained proficiency in Braille, independent white cane travel, and assistive technology. She went on to earn her Bachelor of Arts degree in Chinese Studies from the University of Washington in Seattle. She is fluent in Laotian, Mandarin Chinese, and English.

Deng started working at the Seattle Lighthouse in 2001 as an intern after completing the Service and Office Systems (SOS) training program that was jointly sponsored by The Seattle Lighthouse and Washington State Department of Services for the Blind. After completing her internship Deng accepted a position as a customer service representative in the Lighthouse customer service department.

In addition to her duties in the Lighthouse call center, Deng has expanded her role to include acting as the backup receptionist for our front office. She is also a regular participant in the Lighthouse school tours program, which educates local school children about the capabilities of people with visual disabilities.

Deng is positive, spirited, reliable, and loves to be busy. She is well liked by everyone who knows her and is always willing and able to lend a hand when asked even if the request falls outside her regular job duties. ÒI can always rely on Deng to follow through with tasks to completion. If she says she will call a customer back after researching a problem I can always expect it to be done. Deng is resourceful and has good problem solving skills,Ó says Sharon Carmody, sales and services manager.

Away from work Deng leads a very active life. In addition to being featured in Lighthouse publications, she has also been recognized in the Seattle Times for her experience as a cross-country skier and her experience judging a tactile art exhibit.

As an art devotee, Deng especially enjoyed serving on a panel of judges for the Touching Art exhibit hosted by the University of Washington School of Art. The Lighthouse hosted a special reception for this exhibit of art pieces made expressly for the enjoyment of blind people. A photograph of Deng examining one of the art pieces won a special prize in Parade magazineÕs photos of the year.

An avid reader, Deng loves to curl up with romances, mysteries, and science fiction. Other activities she enjoys include cross country skiing, walking, crocheting, and organizing a large summer picnic each year for Lighthouse employees. She loves to listen to music and also to sing karaoke with family and friends. ÒChinese oldies only please,Ó she smiles.

As The Seattle LighthouseÕs Employee of the Year, she is also our nominee for the National Industries for the Blind (NIB) Peter J. Salmon Career Achievement Award. This honor is given for leadership in the blindness field to a visually impaired employee working in a direct labor position for a NIB associated agency.  As our nominee for this prestigious award, Deng will represent the Seattle Lighthouse at the NIB National Convention.

PresidentÕs Award Winner: Larry Baxter

Photo with caption: PresidentÕs Award Winner Larry Baxter

ÒLarryÕs one of the nicest people youÕll ever meet,Ó says Jerry Kopp, production supervisor. ÒHeÕs very helpful, very conscious of our mission. Everybody likes him.Ó

Larry BaxterÕs career in the plastics industry stretches back to 1961, when he began his career as a swing-shift foreman at Koller-Craft Plastic Products. Since then, he has worked on management teams in plastic shops across the nation. Larry brought his expertise and strong work ethic to the Lighthouse as senior production lead in the injection mold department.

ÒLarryÕs a real guru when it comes to mold machines. HeÕs very knowledgeable about what a mold should really look like. He helps in the design as well,Ó says Jerry. ÒWhen the third shift came, he was very willing to lead the crew. HeÕs helped throughout the shop. HeÕs a very mechanically minded person.Ó

Here are a few of the comments LarryÕs co-workers submitted in his nomination for the PresidentÕs Award:

You just cannot say enough good things about Larry Baxter, but I will give it a try.

Larry has been involved with the plastics industry for over 40 years, giving a vast amount of knowledge that he has shared with the Lighthouse.

Larry has worked in quite a few plastics shops around the country, doing everything from operating the machines to actually setting up a shop and running it, and everything in between.

Not only has Larry brought his vast knowledge of the plastics industry to the Lighthouse, he has also been involved in our business card and stamp product areas as well.

Most recently, Larry was involved with our new product line of canteen cups.  Larry spent quite a bit of time in Portland running the equipment so as to be able to assist in the implementation here at the Lighthouse.

There is an old Asian saying, ÒOnce in the family, always in the family.Ó  Larry, you have always been and always will be a part of the Lighthouse Family.
