To: Board Members, Freinds and Families.

Hello freinds old and new, as you know we are a non-profit private organization who serves the needs of adults with devleopmental disabilities. We have provided a home enviornment and excellent care for 52 years to each of our 100 clients. Some of our residents cannot speak for themselves, but I know they would say thank you to all of you for your support both with your time and money. We have been able to provide activites, clothing and food because of your financial support.

As a private organization we get most of our financial sucuriety through the state. The state covers 90 percent of the cost the other 10 percent come from our freinds and families like yourselves as well as churches. It cost 68 thousand dollars a year per resident for their basic needs. I know it is fanically tough now for all of us; however I ask that you would look into giving any amount you can. We put 100 percent of your money to the residents and there happiness. I ask you to consider the smiles on the faces of our residents when they get a birthday or dance party because of you. Some of you know what this means to our residents because some of them are your son's and daughter's and brother's and sister's. I ask all of you to consider what this means to our residents and your families.

Thank you for your support you have shown through the years. I hope this holiday season you are blessed and look forward to hearing from you all soon. I as well hope to see all of you this year at our friends and family Christmas party. I as well want to say thank you for your volunteer work which is as important as any amount of money. Thank You

Sincerely, Eric Fuehrer Human Resources Manager
