Wings of Care<br />
<strong>Anne</strong> <strong>Carlsen</strong> <strong>Center</strong>’s 2009-2010 school year started<br />
off with fl ying colors. Quite literally! On August 25,<br />
the <strong>Center</strong> partnered with Otter Tail Power Company<br />
for a “Pay it Forward” Celebration, the highlight of<br />
which was a breathtaking butterfl y release.<br />
Otter Tail, celebrating its 100 th Anniversary and tradition of<br />
“paying it forward,” contributed fi nancial support and technical<br />
advice toward the construction of the solarium on the ACC<br />
campus. The August 25 event, hosted by ACC, was a chance to<br />
celebrate and showcase the solarium’s role in nurturing students’<br />
vocational, educational, emotional, and physical development.<br />
Participants enjoyed gardening demonstrations, salsa tasting<br />
(salsa made by our students with vegetables they grow), and a<br />
spectacular butterfl y release near our fl ower-adorned gazebo.<br />

prior to the butterfl y<br />
release event.
Many of the released<br />
butterfl ies settled into<br />
the hands of those in<br />
attendance.<br />
After they were released, dozens of Monarch butterfl ies fl uttered<br />
gracefully through the crowd, eventually resting on people’s<br />
arms and hands, and the heads of fragrant fl owers … their<br />
shimmering, rich colors attracting attention and admiration.<br />
We have the pleasure of witnessing a similar phenomenon<br />
at the <strong>Anne</strong> <strong>Carlsen</strong> <strong>Center</strong> each day, as “butterfl ies” take<br />
fl ight right before our eyes—emerging from their “cocoons”<br />
with determination, and displaying their unique and wonderful<br />
characteristics. Complex medical issues, behavioral challenges,<br />
sensory impairments, and physical limitations are no match for<br />
their strength of spirit.<br />
You have helped make these transformations possible! Because<br />
of your dedicated support, the <strong>Center</strong> staff has the tools and<br />
training needed to nurture abilities and confi dence in the<br />
remarkable individuals we serve.<br />

were sequenced the same as<br />
her vocational duties, showing<br />
Marissa the proper order<br />
for which to complete tasks. At<br />
times, she will sign a question<br />
to Spitzer, who will respond<br />
with a signed answer. Marissa<br />
is working on vocalizing more,<br />
and though she doesn’t yet form<br />
sentences, she can call to Spitzer<br />
if she is in another room. “When<br />
we started, we had a goal for<br />
Marissa to take care of a room<br />
and take care of it independently,”<br />
says Spitzer. “She can do that<br />
now.”<br />
The daily strides Marissa is<br />
making in skills and confi dence<br />
are apparent to her teachers and<br />
family. “Since Marissa has moved<br />
here, she has really blossomed,”<br />
says Marissa’s mom, Darena.<br />
“The care is wonderful, and<br />
Marissa loves her staff. There<br />
are opportunities to get out into<br />
the community—it is such a<br />
wonderful program.”<br />
Spitzer is at the vocational site<br />
to answer any and all questions,<br />
but her job is not to do the work<br />
for Marissa—who is passionate<br />
about doing her own work.<br />
Marissa asks if she can go to<br />
work, even on days when she is<br />
not scheduled to do so. “Marissa<br />
is eager to go out for work,” says<br />
Spitzer. “She seems to really<br />
enjoy it. She loves to go places,<br />
meet people, and help serve.”<br />
While at Comfort <strong>In</strong>n, Marissa<br />
often works with Executive Housekeeper<br />
Liz Kostecky. “The work<br />
Marissa does cuts down on our<br />
room time, and it is defi nitely a big<br />
help,” says Kostecky. “She is very<br />
self-suffi cient. She goes to work<br />
and does what she needs to.”<br />
At the end of their time together<br />
each Tuesday morning, Marissa<br />
waves or says ‘bye’ to Spitzer.<br />
Already the teen is preparing for<br />
her next vocational session …<br />
and another opportunity to showcase<br />
her abilities, determination,<br />
and attention to detail.<br />
MESSAGE FROM THE CEO<br />
The Power of Adaptive Art to Unlock Potential<br />
I’ve visited my share of art galleries, standing with others in<br />
awe of the talent of one particular artist or another. But nothing<br />
compares to the sense of satisfaction I get when admiring<br />
the painting which now hangs in my offi ce. It was created by<br />
an ACC student and given to me as a gift. Using paint, marbles and a shoebox<br />
to create this masterpiece, he gave me more than a beautiful gift of art. This<br />
individual kindly bestowed upon me a daily dose of inspiration.<br />
Here at ACC, our students’ medical, behavioral, sensory and/or intellectual<br />
disabilities don’t dampen their enthusiasm for, or ability to, make an impact on<br />
the world around them. They embrace life with determination and hope, showing<br />
us each day that where there’s a will, there’s a way.<br />
I have been serving as interim Chief Executive <strong>Of</strong>fi cer of this life-changing<br />
organization since August 3. It’s thrilling to see children, young adults and<br />
families affected by disabilities overcoming obstacles, learning skills for the<br />
future, and gaining greater independence.<br />
The <strong>Anne</strong> <strong>Carlsen</strong> <strong>Center</strong> has always been close to my heart. For six years I served<br />
on the <strong>Center</strong>’s Board of Trustees, most recently as vice chair. I previously oversaw<br />
the operations of the <strong>Center</strong> as a senior executive with Banner Health System,<br />
and its predecessor, Lutheran Health Systems, for 12 years—before ACC became<br />
independently owned in 2003. For the past eight years, I have served as the<br />
Founder and Managing Partner of Novus, LLC, a Fargo-based consulting<br />
company serving health-related and nonprofi t organizations.<br />
While my professional life has been greatly intertwined with the <strong>Anne</strong> <strong>Carlsen</strong><br />
<strong>Center</strong>, so was much of my youth. As a teenager living in Jamestown, I spent many<br />
enjoyable hours volunteering at the <strong>Center</strong>, interacting with the students and<br />
becoming passionate about the mission and purpose of the organization.<br />
Today, it’s exciting to see the <strong>Center</strong> reach out, as it provides critical services and<br />
supports in a growing number of homes and communities across the state. While<br />
we develop and expand our Community Services, we continue to strengthen our<br />
Jamestown campus and the core of the organization.<br />
To empower and equip those we serve, we often utilize assistive technology and<br />
adaptive equipment. The <strong>Center</strong>, over time, has become a leader in implementing<br />
these critical tools, and in October, shared that expertise at the 28 th Annual Closing<br />
the Gap Conference, an assistive technologies conference held in Minneapolis, Minn.<br />
Participants were eager to learn more about the “Accessing the Artist Within” project,<br />
created by Mark Coppin, ACC’s Assistive Technology Director, which showcases how<br />
assistive technologies and adaptive equipment empower artists with disabilities.<br />
“Accessing the Artist Within” was featured during the conference reception, and<br />
involved a demonstration in which six artists each wrapped a foam pattern around<br />
a drum, which was connected to a frame attached to his/her wheelchair. As paint<br />
was fed onto the roller, each artist moved along an enormous canvas, creating a<br />
wonderful, colorful work of art.<br />
Roughly 500 people watched in awe, clapping enthusiastically. It was educational<br />
and fun, as participants learned about tools and techniques that open up a world<br />
of possibilities for artists with disabilities … where the only limitation … is one’s<br />
imagination.<br />
As the <strong>Anne</strong> <strong>Carlsen</strong> <strong>Center</strong> fi nds ways to help artists showcase their creativity,<br />
and equips many others to reach their full potential, we rely on your support. The<br />
thoughtfulness and generosity of friends like you is a special blessing this Christmas.<br />
Thank you for making a lifetime difference for the deserving individuals we serve.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Eric Monson<br />

10 THE AMBASSADOR<br />
ACC employees Katie Spenningsby and Mike Romans<br />
share a fun moment on a golf cart with fellow golf<br />
tournament volunteer Ben Kilzer, an ACC student.<br />
The 27th Annual <strong>Anne</strong> <strong>Carlsen</strong> <strong>Center</strong><br />
Benefi t Golf Tournament, held August 8<br />
at the Jamestown Country Club, raised<br />
more than $28,000 for the <strong>Center</strong>.<br />
The annual fundraiser brought 34, four-person teams<br />
together with nearly 40 volunteers for a fun-fi lled day<br />
on the links that helps support important opportunities<br />
for children and young adults with disabilities.<br />
“It was a great turnout—both golfers and volunteers,”<br />
said Dan Kunzman, ACC Foundation Executive Director.<br />
“Even the rain showers during the last few holes couldn’t<br />
ruin the day. It was a fun way to raise support for our<br />
life-changing TechnoCamp at Elks Camp Grassick.”<br />
TechnoCamp, the extraordinary camp experience<br />
sponsored by the <strong>Anne</strong> <strong>Carlsen</strong> <strong>Center</strong>, provides ACC<br />
students, and teens with disabilities from throughout<br />
North Dakota, with the chance make lifelong memories<br />
and friendships. They savor traditional camp favorites<br />
like swimming, hayrides and bonfi res. Campers also use<br />
assistive technology to create a variety of music and art<br />
compositions.<br />
ACC students were among those taking part in the<br />
volunteer effort at the golf tournament, posing for<br />
photos with the teams throughout the day and helping<br />
out with contests.<br />
Alex Roller, an 19-year-old receiving residential and<br />
therapy services at the <strong>Center</strong>, used adaptive putting<br />
equipment at one of the holes, demonstrating how<br />
adaptive tools help individuals with disabilities live life<br />
to the fullest. “I really enjoy meeting the golfers and<br />
putting with them,” said Alex. “It’s a lot of fun!”<br />
“We enjoy seeing the <strong>Anne</strong> <strong>Carlsen</strong> <strong>Center</strong> students play<br />
important roles in the tournament,” said Carol Held of<br />
Hankinson, N.D, who golfed in the tournament. “We’ve<br />
participated in this event as a family—my siblings and<br />
I—at least seven different times. It’s always something<br />
we look forward to.”<br />
The team of volunteers included ACC staff and interns,<br />
as well as friends of the <strong>Center</strong>, like 83-year-old Blaise<br />
Johnson, who made sure the players and volunteers<br />
stayed hydrated throughout the day. “I really enjoy<br />
helping out with the tournament,” said Johnson. “This<br />
event isn’t just about the golf … it’s also about the<br />
children of the <strong>Anne</strong> <strong>Carlsen</strong> <strong>Center</strong>, and everyone is<br />
here to make a contribution.”<br />
The team of Deb Orr, Rod Orr, Bob Romsdahl and<br />
Sam Sand—sponsored by Sysco Food Services of North<br />
Dakota—won the tournament’s scratch division. The<br />
team of Ross Stark, Janet Stark, Ryan Stark and Chelsey<br />
Stark—sponsored by Wells Fargo—won the tournament’s<br />
handicap division.<br />
The next ACC Benefi t Golf Tournament will be held<br />
June 5, 2010 at Jamestown Country Club. Watch for<br />

A lesson of love that will last a lifetime<br />
The letter (above) from Coach Reed Danuser is an inspirational<br />
reminder that donors of all ages help support the<br />
life-changing mission of the <strong>Anne</strong> <strong>Carlsen</strong> <strong>Center</strong>. The<br />
players on his Babe Ruth Baseball team … these talented<br />
12-year-olds … should be commended for their maturity and<br />
generosity. We are proud of their caring hearts, in addition to<br />
their good sportsmanship and their willingness to work hard.<br />
This recent gift to the <strong>Center</strong>, made in memory of their<br />
coach’s father, demonstrates the ability and desire of today’s<br />
youth to make a difference in the lives of others. Physically<br />
strong and able-bodied, the members of this baseball team<br />
recognize the importance of, and value in, supporting our<br />
students—many of whom aren’t able to swing a baseball<br />
bat or run around a baseball fi eld.<br />
The holiday season is the perfect time to instill the values<br />
of giving in today’s youth. Teach the children in your life<br />
what is important to you. Show them how they can make<br />
an impact though donations of time and money. When they<br />
12 THE AMBASSADOR<br />
follow your example, they will gain an<br />
even greater appreciation for their families<br />
and possessions, while gaining a tremendous sense of<br />
accomplishment at helping others. This could become the<br />
beginning of a tradition that lasts a lifetime and the start<br />
of a rewarding connection with individuals worthy and<br />
appreciative of support.<br />
We are extremely grateful for your dedication to this<br />
organization. On behalf of the children of the <strong>Center</strong>, I want<br />
to sincerely thank you, our generous donors, for helping<br />
provide ‘round-the-clock specialized care. You are giving the<br />
individuals we serve the chance to grow and succeed … and<br />
a chance at a future fi lled with hope. May you have a blessed<br />
Christmas season and a prosperous 2010.<br />
With warmest regards,<br />
Dan Kunzman<br />
