Annual Report<br />
2008-2009<br />
CENTER DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE<br />
This past year our nation struggled as the economy plummeted to levels not seen<br />
since the Great Depression. At <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Network</strong> our families continue to report<br />
how grateful they are that <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Network</strong> is here to help support them during<br />
these difficut times.<br />
PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS<br />
Thanks to the tremendous efforts of our staff, volunteers, Board, Advisory<br />
Committee and alumni, <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Network</strong> was able to serve 1,645 participants in<br />
FY09. We are grateful to all the wonderful children and families we have had the<br />
privilege to work with and learn from. This annual report highlights the<br />
outstanding accomplishments of our family support programs.<br />
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP<br />
The Parent Child Center continues to be a unique and successful program<br />
serving 461 participants this past year. Families benefited from this program and<br />
took advantage of the educational, enrichment and socialization opportunities<br />
that exist within the center. However the costs associated with running the<br />
program have significantly risen.<br />
• Our commitment to provide parent support services regardless of ability to pay<br />
has resulted in full fee waivers for more than 50% of our families, and fee<br />
assistance for many others. Even if every family were able to pay, the fees would<br />
not cover operational costs.<br />
The Right From The Start program provided an extensive array of offerings<br />
including home visits, groups and educational programs for parents and<br />
children, while also providing van transportation and childcare. In FY09,<br />
1,110 participants were served in this comprehensive program.<br />
• Due to the state budget shortfall, Right From The Start has already seen a 10%<br />
decrease in funding in the current fiscal year. Additionally, cuts from other sources<br />
will make this year especially challenging.<br />
The After School Activity Program served 74 children last year. ASAP supplies<br />
students of working families with homework help, and also offers a welcoming<br />
and secure environment with a variety of stimulating and enriching activities.<br />
• In FY09 ASAP received more requests than ever from local families seeking<br />
financial support. To help accommodate these struggling families, the program<br />
assumed over $30,000 in tuition assistance.<br />
PLEASE HELP KEEP FAMILY NETWORK GOING<br />
Our programs do more than just fill a need for our children and families; they<br />
provide our families with increased knowledge, skills, and confidence that<br />
ultimately strengthen and enhance our entire community. Now more than ever<br />
your help is needed to maintain our valuable programs. Please give generously<br />
so that <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Network</strong> can continue to meet our mission and serve the diverse<br />
needs of our community.<br />

WHY IT MATTERS<br />
We are proud that the Parent/Child<br />
Center, founded 26 years ago, still<br />
provides a warm and welcoming place<br />
where families with young children can<br />
gather, learn, and find support. Our<br />
participants come from diverse backgrounds,<br />
which enriches the experiences<br />
they have at the center in many ways.<br />
Our flexible drop-in approach is uniquely<br />
suited to the needs of families with<br />
infants and young children, enabling<br />
parents and caregivers to access our<br />
programs and services as needed.<br />
First time mothers who are adjusting<br />
to their new role, parents with active<br />
toddlers who are looking for a safe<br />
place to play and a gradual approach to<br />
separation, and families who are new to<br />
the community - all find a place to learn<br />
“My son has learned that mom always comes<br />
back! He has learned to play and share with<br />
others and to trust his teachers.”<br />

Our nurturing, professional<br />
staff provides<br />
stimulating, developmentally<br />
appropriate play<br />
activities while<br />
parents have a<br />
chance to relax and<br />
recharge, to<br />
connect with other parents, and to share<br />
experiences, problems and solutions. In<br />
addition to speakers on a wide variety of<br />
topics, we offer the services of an<br />
experienced social worker who can<br />
consult with parents and assist them in<br />
finding resources when needed.<br />
The Dual Language Morning continues<br />
to be our busiest day, providing bilingual<br />
activities for children and fostering<br />
understanding and communication<br />
between English and Spanish speaking<br />
parents. The monthly “Sharing Traditions”<br />
parent activities, which include<br />
holiday celebrations and sharing favorite<br />
foods and crafts from different cultures,<br />
continue to be wonderful (and delicious)<br />
ways of connecting with one another.<br />
“What a unique place<br />
– an open, welcoming<br />
facility for both<br />
children and their<br />
caregivers!”<br />

Our spring Community Concert, which<br />
this year was free to the public and<br />
featured performers who sang in English<br />
and Spanish, was successful in sharing<br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Network</strong>’s multicultural spirit with<br />
the wider community. The concert was<br />
made possible by a generous grant from<br />
the Highland Park Cultural Arts Commission<br />
and the Illinois Arts Council.<br />
Our newly revamped website has given<br />
the Parent/Child Center a new way to<br />
reach out to parents who are looking for<br />
connections, support, information, and<br />
a sense of community. We are grateful<br />
to all of those who have enabled us to<br />
fulfill our mission since our beginnings in<br />
1983, and to all of you who can help us<br />
to continue into the future!<br />

WHY IT MATTERS<br />
In spite of funding cuts, the Right From<br />
The Start (RFTS) program continued to<br />
work hard to maintain our high quality<br />
comprehensive family support programs.<br />
Last year in collaboration with University<br />
of Illinois Extension and the Trinity<br />
Episcopal Church, we provided a new<br />
program on healthy eating. The Cooking<br />
School included a week of classes<br />
on food safety, budgeting for meals,<br />
creative meal planning with healthy<br />
recipes, and networking among participants.<br />
We were also excited to offer a series of<br />
classes on financial literacy, sponsored<br />
by MB Financial in 2009 and by a grant<br />
throught the United Way of the North<br />
Shore in 2010. We look forward to<br />
continuing these offerings again in FY10.<br />
We are thankful to all of our funders,<br />
staff, community partners and volunteers<br />
who contributed their resources and time<br />
to make FY09 such a successful year. To<br />

Maria is a 35 year-old Mexican<br />
immigrant with three children - ages 3,<br />
9, and 10. Her husband works in a<br />
restaurant as a dishwasher. She has<br />
been involved with Right from The Start<br />
since 1998 when she had her second<br />
child and enrolled in our early childhood<br />
program. She received home<br />
visits and also participated in our<br />
center-based groups.<br />
Maria complained for many weeks<br />
about headaches and difficulty walking.<br />
She was receiving healthcare at a local<br />
facility and needed a $1000 MRI of the<br />
brain. This was prohibitively expensive<br />
for her very low income family. Maria’s<br />
physical health was deteriorating rapidly<br />
and she was desperate. She could not<br />
locate a provider that could cover this<br />
procedure at a reduced rate.<br />
Luisa Espinosa-Lara, Administrative Aide<br />
Alejandra Martinez, Child Care Provider<br />
Lucrecia Soruco, <strong>Family</strong> Support Worker<br />
Maria, who had established a strong<br />
and trusting relationship with RFTS,<br />
decided to contact her long time family<br />
support worker, Bertha Chávez. Due to<br />
Mrs. Chávez's unrelenting advocacy,<br />
another health care facility was found to<br />
cover the procedure. Maria was admitted<br />
and diagnosed with a brain tumor.<br />
When Maria was scheduled for surgery,<br />
her family was paralyzed with fear.<br />
During this very tough time, we offered<br />
support to the family by developing a<br />
childcare plan during the mother's<br />
recuperation and facilitating the<br />
communication between the family and<br />
the hospital. When Maria had recovered<br />
and was able to speak again, she<br />
continued to seek support from our<br />
program and called every day to let us<br />
know of her progress.<br />
Maria is doing well now after a long<br />
and painful recovery and is taking care<br />
of her children. I am pleased that we<br />
were able to support this family during<br />
a very traumatic time. Thanks to the<br />
advocacy, support and follow-up services<br />
provided by the program, Maria was<br />
able to obtain the critical diagnosis and<br />
treatment that saved her life. Our wide<br />
array of prevention-based, supportive<br />
programs and improved access to community<br />
services are essential to families<br />
like Maria's.<br />

WHY IT MATTERS<br />
During the 2008-09 school year, ASAP<br />
continued to play a crucial role in the<br />
lives of working parents by providing a<br />
safe, nurturing, after-school environment<br />
for their children. ASAP’s highly qualified<br />
staff engaged the children in a wide variety<br />
of enrichment activities, supported<br />
academic achievement by helping with<br />
daily homework, and offered opportunities<br />
to enhance social skills through<br />
interactions with peers and staff.<br />
Our north Highland Park ASAP site<br />
started the year with a move from Wayne<br />
Thomas School to Oak Terrace School.<br />
We were warmly welcomed by the Oak<br />
Terrace family and quickly adjusted to<br />
our new space on the stage in the multi-<br />
purpose room.<br />
Indian Trail also began the year with<br />
change. A brand new staff of three<br />
greeted the children when they arrived.<br />
Everyone quickly settled into the routine,<br />
completing homework, participating in<br />
creative enrichment activities, and making<br />
new friends. To cap off the first few<br />
months of school, the Indian Trail kids<br />
planned and rehearsed their own ASAP<br />
Circus, ultimately presenting their “acts”<br />
to parents on the Indian Trail playground.<br />
Always striving to add new features to<br />
the ASAP program, staff presented many<br />
new learning opportunities at both sites.<br />
The Indian Trail students participated in<br />
a service project funded by a grant from<br />
the Pay It Forward Foundation, which<br />
emphasized the importance of helping<br />
others. With staff and community volunteers,<br />
the children made fleece blankets<br />
and pillows for children at a local shelter.<br />
At Oak Terrace, the value of learning<br />
from members of the community was exemplified<br />
by a Veteran’s Day visit from a<br />

"We were looking for someone to simply<br />
watch our boys for a couple of hours a couple<br />
of days a week. I was pleased to see that<br />
the boys completed their homework and they<br />
enjoyed participating in the activities. Bottom<br />
line, so much more value than I expected."<br />
Kaylee Longest, Teacher<br />
Brenda Ramirez, Teacher<br />
Elva Velez, Teacher<br />
WWII veteran, who talked to the children<br />
about his experiences as a doctor during<br />
the war. The children also participated in<br />
a variety of other activities: a presentation<br />
on Jackson Pollack, followed by a<br />
huge, messy splatter painting project;<br />
monthly visits from Harriet, the “library<br />
lady;" and hands-on science experiments<br />
and nature-related projects.<br />
Our annual Spring Parent Survey confirmed<br />
our own impression, that it was<br />
another sensational year! Of those who<br />
responded to the survey, 100% indicated<br />
that they would recommend ASAP to<br />
others. Significantly, all parents indicated<br />
that their children felt a sense of belonging,<br />
feelings of accomplishment and<br />
well-being, and improved communication<br />
skills with adults and peers. For the<br />
2009-10 school year, we anticipate our<br />
usual high rate of returning students and<br />
that ASAP will continue to provide the<br />
quality after-school program for which<br />
we’re known.<br />
Bobbie Hinden, Program Director<br />
"ASAP is a fabulous program<br />
because of the caring individuals<br />
involved. You couldn't<br />
ask for a more nurturing,<br />
positive, fun place for a kid<br />
to be after school. I am very<br />
grateful for this program."<br />
