2015 Year in ReviewAs I step into the position of Executive Director in 2016, I’m excited by the progress we’ve made this past year, the successes we continue to see and the possibilities for our children’s future.

Last year, our renovations resulted in the opening ofournewadministrativeofficeandour13thhome, allowing us to care for six more kids when renovations are complete.

We also successfully took over Case Management from the state for many of our boys and girls. Our relationships with their biological families are thriving. And, as a result, our children’s families are stronger andsoaretheirchancesofasuccessfulreunification.

EverydayIwatchourboysandgirlsflourishandour alumni shine. I know they do so because of the Village that we, both you and I, provide. Because of the home we give them. I look forward to working with you to keep changing the lives of our kids. Thank you for being a part of our family.
