MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD CHAIR

Dear Friends,

I am honored to be Lenawee United Way’s Board Chair and excited about the future of our organization. United Way continues to focus on mobilizing community resources to provide basic needs, education, financial stability and health services for those who are struggling to become self-sufficient. The community investment grants model has promoted communication, accountability, volunteer involvement and collaboration to improve the lives of people affected by the ever changing conditions in Lenawee County. Programs funded under this model have touched one out of every three people in our area. As we look back over the past year, record unemployment and economic uncertainty blanketed our headlines. The need for critical human services in our community has never been greater. I cannot help but reflect on Lenawee County’s amazing ability to be compassionate and resilient. I am confident that by working together we will continue to address these challenges head-on. Through Lenawee United Way, we have seen the public, private and non-profit sectors come together for the benefit of Lenawee County. Without each of you, we could not accomplish all that we do. I am extremely grateful for those in our community who are committed to transforming the lives of our economically disadvantaged neighbors. I would like to extend a sincere “thank you” to those of you who have given a financial gift, been an advocate, or volunteered your talents throughout the year to create a better life for all of us in Lenawee County. This is truly what it means to LIVE UNITED.

Since February 2009, over 7,800 2-1-1 calls have been received from individuals seeking assistance for various reasons. 2-1-1, a program of Lenawee United Way, provides information and referral to callers to obtain assistance from local and national social service programs, governmental agencies and non-profit organizations. Referrals are given by certified trained specialists who quickly assess the callers’ needs and refer them to the help they seek. By asking callers a succession of questions, call specialists can help identify underlying problems that must be dealt with to help people better cope with the expressed symptoms, and develop their own plan for tackling the root cause of the problem. Certified trained call specialists have up-to-date records on what agencies have funding available for a variety of needs. Unfortunately, not all callers have needs that can be met by simple referrals. When a 2-1-1 call specialist seeks out resources outside of the database, it’s called “advocacy.” Here is an example of how 2-1-1 advocates for Lenawee residents: Jerry was injured on the job three months ago. Denied workman’s compensation and Medicaid, he had no way to obtain a lift chair for his home. His call specialist was unable to locate a resource in Lenawee County and so contacted a disability rights agency in Jackson. That agency was able to assist Jerry in obtaining a lift chair at an affordable price.

EMERGING LEADERS

“While working in Lenawee County for the past few years, I started to become familiar with both the strengths and challenges of our communities. I also became attracted to the small town charm and the community’s willingness to help others. After our monthly sessions, I often implemented the lessons within my own classrooms at Siena Heights University. In addition, I was able to enhance my knowledge about the community by engaging in dialogue with community leaders and participating in community-based activities. This knowledge has also assisted me in my job as I help social work students become involved in the community. Overall, the Emerging Leaders Program has been a rewarding experience that has allowed me to connect with young professionals while making a difference in Lenawee County. Through this program, I have strengthened my overall passion, commitment, and dedication to the Lenawee Community.” - Dalila John 2010-11 Emerging Leaders Participant

Dalila John Siena Heights University

Lenawee United Way Emerging Leaders In 2008, Lenawee United Way launched a leadership development program for young professionals, ages 22-35, called Emerging Leaders. The mission of Emerging Leaders is to develop leadership skills that can be employed in the workplace as well as in the community. Participants learn from community leaders and local experts who provide opportunities for networking and cultivating leadership. Topics covered in the program include: public speaking, conflict resolution, time management/balance, marketing, board memberships, leadership, hidden treasures in Lenawee County, generational communication, and facilitation of groups/meetings. For more information about Emerging Leaders, visit us at www.lenaweeunitedway.org or find us on Facebook at Lenawee County Emerging Leaders.

THE 2010/2011 CAMPAIGN

We started this years campaign with tremendous optimism that we had hit the economic bottom in Lenawee County and fully expected to grow the campaign fund after 5 years of decline. We knew it would be hard work and would require everyone to excerpt just a little more effort, thus our theme GIVE 110%. Well, our prediction came true and we were able to turn the corner and grow the campaign to more than $854,000 ... a $20,000 increase from last year! It was not without hard work however, and the Lenawee United Way Team and volunteers were able to make a final push very late in the campaign to achieve success. In February, Ernie and Susan Groeb set up a $20,000 matching challenge grant, allowing us to go back to our donor base and ask for a little bit more. We encouraged people to increase their gifts by $52 or more, and by March we met the challenge. Truly a 110% effort! We are blessed to live in a community that truly cares about their neighbors which makes living in Lenawee County very special. Thank you for allowing us to lead the 2010-2011 campaign. The experience has touched us beyond words. All the best, Jim & Susie Kapnick 2010/11 Campaign Chairs

2010/2011 VOLUNTEERS

“I work in business banking; which gives me the opportunity to meet business owners and their employees, listen to how they operate their business and then offer suggestions or new ideas utilizing products and services to increase revenue while lowering expenses. Most businesses have seen their share of challenges in the most recent years and as an employee of a business, I clearly understand the importance of making decisions every day that will sustain our growth so that we in turn, will continue to be a viable solution for local community businesses. The best part of meeting with a business is hearing them share their “story”. All stories come with joys and trials but the twinkle in their eye tells you they are proud to be in business today and while the battle has not yet been won, they at least feel like they are in the process of winning the battle. It thrills me to know I can be a part of their success. Working together to enhance the operations of local businesses, that’s how “I LIVE UNITED.”
