WORD FROM PRESIDENT
D
ear friends,
The year 2007 has been eventful with the departure of Mrs. Heather Bowman and
Anne Racine who I both sincerely thank for their good and loyal services, the hiring of
a new team and the moving of the office from D’Youville to Argyll. In addition, during
the year, the family grew larger; the Foundation of the CLSC has been integrated to
the Health and Social Services Centre - University Institute of Geriatrics Foundation of
Sherbrooke. Last October, new letter patents were issued confirming the creation of
the Health and Social Services Centre – University Institute of Geriatrics Foundation of
Sherbrooke (HSSC-UIGS).
Despite these changes, the Foundation’s team stayed the course, successfully achieving its goals, while striving to reach the same objectives : to contribute to the improvement of health care, maintaining the users’ quality of life and to bring its support to
teaching and research performed at the Health and Social Services Centre – University
Institute of Geriatrics of Sherbrooke.
In 2007, $ 619 205 has been raised to support our institution. Thank you to our cherished
volunteers for their dedication, to our partners for their loyalty, and to our contributors
for showing such generosity.
More changes will be initiated during the upcoming months, which will result in interesting and important challenges. The health and quality of care provided are regularly
making the headlines of news bulletins and newspaper articles. They attest, day after
day, the many needs of the institutions and populations they serve. The HSSC-UIGS and
its Foundation are privileged to count you among its friends. Thank you for your support, every day is another opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives.
Thank you!

T
he first six months of 2007 were very busy ones for the Foundation. The Board of
Directors was more than delighted with the results of the 2006 campaign, a record
year since the creation of the Foundation in 1996. In January the Generosa Day with
the Piazzetta restaurant was a success, Special thanks to Mr. Pierre Blouin our Honorary
President, the staff of the restaurant and all our volunteers.
March 13,2007, a day to remember, our first Adapted Ski event. Thanks to the Lise Thibault Foundation and The Elder Wish program, 4 residents went skiing at Montjoye. It is
difficult to describe the joy of all these residents. The day was very special, filled with
memories, a dream come true for one and all. May 3rd, 2007, the launching of our
“Friends of the Foundation”, an evening that honored the pioneers of the Sherbrooke
Hospital, Residence de l’Estrie, DYouville Hospital and Estriade. This event marked the
significant contribution each institution made in the creation of the Health and Social
Services Centre – University Institute of Geriatrics Foundation of Sherbrooke. June 21,
The John Hackett Classic at Milby Golf Club, as always it was a sunny day filled with
fun, laughter and friendship, not to mention the strawberries dipped in chocolate! I address special thanks to all our sponsors and volunteers who made this day a success.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Directors of the Foundation,
the Institute, our donors, the staff, the residents, the families and last but not least the
volunteers for their support and friendship. You make a difference. A special thank you
to Anne Racine, for her dedication to the Foundation. Warmest wishes to everyone
and keep up the good work.
Heather Bowman
At the end of June 2007, Heather Bowman, Director of the Health and Social Services
Centre - University Institute of Geriatrics Foundation of Sherbrooke for the last 9 years,
passed the torch on to me. It is with great enthusiasm that I agreed to accept this new
challenge. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Heather and to express my
gratitude for her availability in answering all my questions in order to share her knowledge with me.
Annual Report 2007
I also wish to thank Mr. Price and all of the members of the Board of Directors of the
Foundation for their warm welcome and support, as well as Mr. Denis Lalumière, General Manager of the Health and Social Services Centre - University Institute of Geriatrics
of Sherbrooke, for his precious collaboration.
Despite the scale of the challenges awaiting us, I undertake the new year with confidence and the conviction that, together, we will pursue the work initiated in the last
few years. With your help, we will contribute to the well-being of today’s users and
work toward the improvement of the quality of life of tomorrow’s users.

SOME PROJECTS FINANCED IN 2007
Prosthetic gardens at St-Joseph Residential Centre
The HSSC-UIGS Foundation was particularly proud to participate in the creation of that
green and secure space for the residents of the St-Joseph Residential Centre.
Partners of the Research Centre on Aging
Each year, the Foundation financially supports clinicians of the Institute in the development and realization of research projects. As a result, recreational animators, occupational therapists, nurses, physicians, nutritionists, physiotherapists, speech therapists and
social workers of the Health and Social Services Centre - University Institute of Geriatrics
of Sherbrooke may conduct research on situations or problems encountered within
their practice, and find solutions that may be applied to their daily practice.
Improvement projects on the living environment
The Foundation financed the purchase of 200 adjustable armchairs, in addition to acquiring a perineal reeducation apparatus for people afflicted with incontinence. Finally, the Foundation invested in renewing dental equipment for the Argyll Hospital
and Residential Centre.
Elderly Wish

ACTIVITIES
Generosa Day
Despite the Siberian temperature of January 29,
employees at the restaurant La Piazzetta in Sherbrooke broke a sweat in preparing the numerous
pizzas sold during the 5th Generosa Day which was
organized as fundraiser for the Health and Social
Services Centre - University Institute of Geriatrics
Foundation of Sherbrooke. Thanks to the relentless
work of the employees and volunteers, Generosa
Day brought revenues totalling $ 7 800; a record for
the last five years.
It is worth mentioning the exceptional collaboration
of the honorary president of this activity, Mr. Pierre
Blouin, Director at the Centre financier aux
entreprises Desjardins de l’Estrie. He sold half of the
tickets by himself!
Golf
The Health and Social Services Centre - University Institute of Geriatrics Foundation of
Sherbrooke and its partner Les Caisses Desjardins de Sherbrooke had the pleasure of
organizing the popular John Hackett Classic at the Milby Golf Club on June 21, 2007,
under the honorary presidency of Mr. Patrice Breton, Director at the Caisse du MontBellevue.
Thanks to Desjardins and the many generous partners, the Foundation raised $ 46 000.
In addition to spending a most pleasant day, the participants contributed to enhancing research on the elderly as well as on safe car driving. Thank you!
Annual Report 2007
Drawing of the Maison Desjardins : 42 000 tickets sold
The Maison Desjardins 2007 was by all means, the most beautiful one built since the beginning of drawings back in 1997. As a result, hundreds of people attended the drawing at 5:30 p.m. on September 18, 2007, hoping, just as much as Mayor Jean Perreault
who conducted the drawing, that he would draw their name. Fate favoured a couple
from the Rock Forest burrough, Mrs. Thérèse Ledoux and Mr. Jacques Tardif.
As a result of this activity, $ 101 871 were added to the Foundation’s coffers to pursue
its mission.

ACTIVITIES
Annual campaign of the HSSC-UIGS Foundation
Upon the launch of the annual campaign of the Foundation of the HSSC-UIGS, on August 28 2007, the two honorary presidents, Me Denis Paré and Me Ralph Farley, offered
their personal testimonies of their experiences at the St-Joseph Residential Centre and
Argyll Hospital and Residential Centre as they respectively accompanied their fathers
during their final days. The two presidents greatly appreciated the quality of care and
support they received from the members of personnel during this difficult time.
Revenues of the campaign, $ 229 802, allowed for the financing of three projects established as a priority by the institution: the purchase of 200 adjustable armchairs, the
acquisition of a perineal apparatus for persons afflicted with incontinence and the renewal of dental equipment for the Argyll Hospital and Residential Centre.

VIP Dinner
Annual Report 2007
The famous VIP dinner to benefit the Health and Social Services Centre - University Institute of Geriatrics Foundation of Sherbrooke was held on October 27, 2007 at Bishop’s
College School in the burrough of Lennoxville. This evening allowed the HSSC-UIGS
Foundation to raise $ 9 300.
The financial success of this project was made possible thanks to the generosity of Mrs.
Valérie Courchesne, Pharmacist-Owner of the Brunet Pharmacy in Lennoxville and major sponsor for the evening. In addition, over 130 people from the Sherbrooke business
community, including approximately 30 from the Caisses Desjardins alone, responded
to the invitation that was sent out by the HSSC-UIGS Foundation to celebrate Halloween with Pr. Réjean Hébert, guest of honour of this first evening under the Harry Potter
theme. This was an opportunity to take part in a unique and festive event, animated
by very talented comedians from Projectart.

2007 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of the Health and Social Services Centre -University Institute of
Geriatrics Foundation of Sherbrooke.
We have audited the balance sheet of the Health and Social Services Centre - University Institute of Geriatrics Foundation of Sherbrooke as at December 31, 2007 and the
statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Foundation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.
Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.
In common with many charitable organizations, the Foundation derives revenues from
the public, the completeness of which is not susceptible of satisfactory audit verification. Accordingly, our verification of the revenues of annual campaign and activities
was limited to the amounts recorded in the records of the Foundation and we were
not able to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to revenues, excess of revenues over expenses, assets and net assets.
Annual Report 2007
In our opinion, except for the effect of adjustments, if any, which we might have determined to be necessary had we been able to satisfy ourselves concerning the completeness of the revenues referred to in the preceding paragraph, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Foundation as
at December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year
then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
