Tacoma Lutheran Retirement Community
Foundation Staff

The TLRC Foundation is working hard to serve the residents of TLRC!  Although we have been blessed to meet many of you within our campus and beyond, we haven’t met everyone and look forward to the opportunity to get to know you in the future.  We would like to take a moment to introduce ourselves so when you hear about the TLRC Foundation or choose to make a donation, you will know who we are and what we do. 

Ruthmarie Zimmerman, Director, TLRC Foundation:  As former Assistant Vice President of Business Development at Columbia Bank, Ruthmarie has many connections to local businesses, and works hard to make sure the business community knows the importance of the mission of TLRC.  With her efforts the last two years, both the annual Gala and individual donations have grown.  Many of you have already met Ruthmarie’s dog Oso, who is a trained Pet Therapy Dog from the Prison Pet Partnership Program that works with Assisted Living residents.  While we are blessed by Ruthmarie’s passion for her work, her priority is her family: her husband Warren and teenage children Robby and Katie.

Nancy Caldara: Foundation Administrative Assistant: Nancy is the veteran of the TLRC Foundation office, having served as the Administrative Assistance since January of 2003.  Nancy is responsible for managing the daily donations, donor information and tax receipts, and ensuring that the department stays organized.  In her life outside of TLRC, Nancy and her husband Chuck are avid bowlers and active members of the Goldwing Motorcycle Club.  Nancy also cherishes time with her grandchildren. 

Robby Lanouette, Development Specialist:  After graduating from PLU and the UWT Fundraising Management Course, Robby joined the TLRC Foundation team in April of 2006.  His array of responsibilities include writing grants, working with individual donors, helping with the annual Gala, and many different areas, including playing the Easter Bunny the last two years

We understand that making a donation is a personal experience, and we want you to feel comfortable approaching us.  We have an open door policy and invite you to come see us or call us at 253-284-7508 with any questions you might have.  Thank you for your continued support of TLRC.
