HISTORIC GEORGIA HALL

Franklin Delano Roosevelt knew something about spirit . One could even make a case for that being his greatest attribute. It took a hefty dose of spirit to overcome the debilitating effects of polio, it took spirit to lead the country back from the great depression, and it took all the spirit Roosevelt could muster to take the country into World War II, establish a path to victory and begin planning for a new world order.
That same spirit was captivating and contagious to everyone h e came in contact with. It's why in the dog-eat-dog world of the political arena h e could be elected president four times, and why he remains one of the most popular national and world leaders ever.
Nowhere is that spirit more evident, even in a new millennium, than in Warm Springs, the little West Georgia train stop he put on the map with the creation of his treatment center in 1927. It's a spirit that has been passed on from one generation of Roosevelt Institute staffers and patrons to anoth er. It's a spirit that makes being h ere special, meeting the needs of patients, students and the overall community in the same serene setting

FDR was describing when he said, "Yes, this is a sanctuary for people, where the wars of the body and the wars of the mind are taboo. They do not have to be forbidden because of a thing we call 'The Spirit of Warm Springs.' It has been here at least as long as I have and I am quite sure it will always rest upon these buildings. "
Reminders of the pride this spirit engenders are everywhere. From a gift shop named "Spirit of the Springs" to a newsletter entitled simply "The Spirit," it's a word that keeps creeping back into the Roosevelt Institute lexicon and way of doing things .
It's most evident, however, among people ... people like the 13 pictured on the front of this publication. They represent a cross-section of everyone associated with the Roosevelt Institute. They are featured here because of the obvious "spirit" they bring to their roles with the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation. A spirit the place can never do without. It's our most valuable asset and a fitting theme for our annual report in the year 2000 ... or, for that matter, any other year.

OF FRoM THE CHAIRMAN

THE BoARD:

What a resource we have in our people. I am so proud to be associated with those who compose the staff, board, patrons and universal fami!J of the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation.
It's fitting that in this first yea r of the new millennium we highlight the kind ofcoring, considerate and dedicatedpeople who have made this a special place since its founding 1!JI Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 192 7. For almost three quarters ofa century, dedicated individuals like these have made th eRoosevelt In stitute a sta ndard -bearer in the world of rehabilitation. Lastyear alone, we served approximate!) 6,300 individuals, more than double the number servedjust afewyears ago.
Support for our mission to empower people with disabilities to achieve personal independence helps us acco mplish and achieve in ma,:ry wiys. In th e lastyear our Development Fund:
Completed the $ 150,000 Rotary International Tennis Center
Received an individualgift annui_ry totaling $50,000
Raised over $86,000 at the annual Georgia Hall Socie_ry Ball
Amassed a record-setting $100,000 in unrestrictedfundsfor the Georgia Hall Socie_ry
Surpassed $12,000 in charitable contributions 1!JI state empl<!Jees

Sponsored th esecond Roosevelt International Cup, featuring th e world's top wheelchair athletes
Promoted Camp Drea m, which hosted over 2,000 people with disabilities through such groups as the Brain Injury Association of Georgia, B/az.eSports, Special O!Jmpics, Cobb and Cliyton Coun_ry Parks and Recreation, th e Girls Outdoor Adventure Leadership and the ]iycees.
We are indebted to our ma,:ry special friends and don ors, without whose support such things would not be possible, and we look forward to their continued assistance in making the dreams of everyone associated with the Roosevelt In stitute come true.
Ifyo u have never visited our 900-plus acre campus in Warm
Springs, Georgia, I encourageyou to do so. In addition to the historic Quadrangle, which has been the object of extensive renovations in recent years, we are the home of the Ce nter for Therapeutic Recreation - a state-of-the-art facili_ry that benefits our entire region - and soon to be the home of a new Rehab Technology Ce nter, the goal of our upcoming building campaign .
As alwiys, our people will welcomeyou and makeyou feel at home, and I'm confident that beforeyo ur visit is over, you will understa nd what we call "Th e Spirit ofWarm Springs."
Sincere!),

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR:
It's an exciting time to be at the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation. Not since the dqys ofFranklin Roosevelt have we had so much attention focused on ourfacili!J .
We have entered the new millennium with a much broader base of service that includes: special!} programs in brain injury, spinal cord injury and stroke rehabilitation; a renewed emphasis on our roots in aquatic therapy and aquatic exercise science; a new, federaljy-sponsored diabetic foot center; the promise of more rehab technology through academic partnerships and an upcoming building campaign; and, a vocational rehabilitation unit that continues to broaden its horizons ~ responding to the needs of our communi!J through such things as Adult Literary and Certified Customer Service Programs.
Internationaljy, we will plqy a leading role in the first EuroAmerican Platform on Rehabilitation Issues, a sharing of staff, techniques and ideas that should significantjy benefit rehabilitation on both sides ofthe Atlantic. At the same time, the ever-increasing use of Camp Dream and the development of our Center for Therapeutic Recreation, which was opened in 1996, has made us a major plqyer in the expanding world of Parajympic sports. We now host the Roosevelt Cup every other year, the recentjy completed Roosevelt 0r/d Basketball Challenge and training camps for the national teams ofat least six different countries.

Recentjy, we opened our seventh Outpatient Therapy Clinic, giving us a major healthcare presence throughout the constantjy growing southwest crescent of Metropolitan Atlanta, including Douglasville, Newnan, LaGrange, Peachtree Ci!J, Griffin, Stockbridge and, of course, 0rm Springs. Earlier this summer we hosted a visit 1!JI U.S. Attornry Genera/Janet Reno as part of the 1oth anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, an acknowledgment ofthe difference the Roosevelt Institute continues to make in the lives ofthe disabled, and next April we will host a reunion of polio survivors from seven decades, something that should garner national attention.
It's safe to sqy the excitement is building ... building through such milestones as stories on CNN, 60 Minutes II, New York based WeMedia, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, Macon Telegraph, LaGrange Daijy News, Newnan Times Herald, Americus Times Recorder, Alba'!Y Herald, Manchester Star-Mercury and magazines like Rehab Management, New Mobili!J and Sports and Spokes. We all share in this excitement.
The future rea/Jy is now at the Roosevelt Institute, but our impact on lives has alwqys been the same. Our mission remains "to empower people with disabilities to achieve personal independence" and we strive to accomplish that mission each and every dqy.
