At this year\u2019s St. Paul\u2019s Senior Homes & Services Gala, \u201cEndless Summer of LUV,\u201d two well-respected volunteers \u2013 Patti Roscoe and Jim Tiffany \u2013 will be honored. The Mission Hills residents have made major impacts in St. Paul\u2019s and the greater San Diego community through countless volunteer hours and leadership roles on several projects and boards.<\/p>\n

\u201cAging is an exhilarating and daunting time in life,\u201d Roscoe said. \u201cSt. Paul\u2019s provides a road map through its many phases to ensure we can age gracefully.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roscoe has long been a strong supporter of St. Paul\u2019s, as well as the Girl Scouts of San Diego, and she is the founder of PRA Destination Management, a travel company part of the London-based AlliedPRA.<\/p>\n

Also in the travel business, Tiffany\u2019s volunteer includes serving as a board member at the Monarch School as well as the San Diego State University (SDSU) Art Council. Their story as a couple is rooted in love and, ultimately, their community.<\/p>\n

Knowing each other for several decades, the two\u00a0reconnected in 2003. Since then,\u00a0they have made a home in\u00a0San Diego, said they enjoy\u00a0travelling and are avid sports fans, especially of the SDSU Aztecs.<\/p>\n

Roscoe currently sits on the board of trustees of the Zoological Society of San Diego, as well as the SDSU Campanile Foundation. She is also a past president of San Diego Rotary Club, and is a member of the board of directors of the Balboa Park 2015 Centennial.<\/p>\n

Roscoe also co-founded SDSU\u2019s L. Robert Payne\u2019s School of Hotel and Tourism Management, of which she now chairs. By creating the Institute of Meetings and Events for SDSU, Roscoe was the first woman in the university\u2019s history to endow a professorship.<\/p>\n

Tiffany\u2019s service life has been just as fruitful. As a young man, he served in the United States Army. Believing that leaders should manifest courage, perseverance, communication skills and the ability to inspire teamwork, Tiffany continued to put those characteristics to use. He spent 30 years in the travel business, planning conferences, events and meetings around the world for Fortune-100 companies.\u00a0He also served as board member, conference leader and guest lecturer for the Society of Incentive Travel Executives.<\/p>\n

Some of their involvement with St. Paul\u2019s, the couple said, has to do with Roscoe\u2019s friendship with Cheryl Wilson, the organization\u2019s president and CEO. Roscoe and Wilson had been San Diego Rotary Club members for many years, and during Roscoe\u2019s year as president, she designated her time to helping seniors. Roscoe has previously served as a LUV Gala volunteer, and was chair in 2009.<\/p>\n

Tiffany was her support system during those busy years, she said. Together, they have made financial commitments to St Paul\u2019s to assist with their many critical programs, especially their Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe feel good about having contributed time, talent and treasure to our industry and community during the process,\u201d Tiffany said, adding that success now means to enjoy life with his family. \u201cWe also have created a bucket list and are strategically moving forward to insure we check each and every item off, enjoying the adventure along the way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Both Roscoe and Tiffany said they are strong and independent individuals, respecting those qualities in each other. They keep life interesting by being involved in their volunteering activities and by planning \u201csecret dates\u201d for each other, they said.<\/p>\n

The couple expresses gratitude that St. Paul\u2019s and their team of professionals will help and guide them, as well as all others who will need it, in the future.<\/p>\n

The Aug. 25 LUV gala is at the Paradise Point Resort & Spa, 1404 Vacation Rd. The evening begins at 6 p.m. with a silent auction, and Roscoe and Tiffany will be honored at the dinner program starting at 7:30 pm. All proceeds from the gala will benefit St. Paul\u2019s PACE.
