November <strong>2010</strong><br />
Dear Friends and Supporters of <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Network</strong>,<br />
Since 1983 <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Network</strong> has been lifting up the children and families of our<br />
community by providing essential services for young children and parents of diverse<br />
backgrounds. These high quality services include early childhood programs,<br />
parent support, Spanish-based, and after school programs designed to meet the<br />
needs of working families.<br />
As you review the enclosed annual report you will note how much our<br />
programs have accomplished in the past year. However, the vital work that we<br />
do has been significantly hampered by the ongoing economic crisis.<br />
Even locally in affluent communities like Highland Park and Highwood,<br />
families struggle to make ends meet. Many of our families have lost their jobs<br />
and in some cases face foreclosures. During these trying times, <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Network</strong><br />
has become an even more critical resource for families to find support.<br />
Due to the economic downturn, we have seen an increase in families who<br />
require financial assistance to attend the Parent/Child Center and After School<br />
Activity Programs. Eighteen ASAP families have sought additional financial assistance,<br />
totaling $28,000 for <strong>2009</strong>-<strong>2010</strong>. The Right from the Start Program receives<br />
substantial funding from the State of Illinois, which has severely delayed<br />
payments. These delays have impacted our ability to run our program and have<br />
placed a strain on our payroll.<br />
Yet, you will see that we have not had to reduce services during the past<br />
year. We have maintained our programs by implementing cost-cutting measures,<br />
reducing expenses, and seeking new sources of funding. Our fund-raising efforts<br />
last year helped to ensure that our revenues stayed ahead of our expenses.<br />
Without the essential support of our individual donors this would not have been<br />
possible.<br />
We are again asking for your help to maintain our vital programs and<br />
services that strengthen and nurture our children and families. Your donation<br />
makes a difference in many lives. Lift up yourself by lifting up <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Network</strong><br />
with a significant contribution. We are grateful for your generous support.<br />
