WJCS Board of Directors 2008-09 

The past year, 2008, marked the 65th anniversary of our agency’s service 

to the community. It was a year in which we experienced deep satisfaction 

with the continued success of our programs but also one where we began 

to realize that unprecedented challenges lay ahead. 

In the spring, we celebrated our accomplishments across a number of 

programs with a highly successful fundraising event that honored our 

past president, Rob Stavis. This event was memorable not only in the way 

in which clients described the impact of the agency on them but also in 

that it generated unprecedented funds from devoted supporters. Some of 

our key accomplishments included the opening of a beautifully renovated 

home for men with developmental disabilities in Harrison and the completed 

renovation of another new residence for young women in White Plains, 

slated to open in early 2009. We worked with Westchester County to 

implement an electronic safety tracking system for people with autism. 

We developed a training program to sensitize parents/caregivers/first 

responders to intervene appropriately in challenging situations involving 

people with special needs. We partnered with several fire departments 

to train their members to assess and deal with children who may be at 

risk of setting fires. In the same way, we helped police officers recognize 

situations of domestic abuse. 

While we continued to maintain and expand our key programs supporting 

geriatric and children services during the year, by the end of the summer the 

economic and financial crisis was deepening. By year’s end, the full impact 

of how seriously we might be affected by government cutbacks and reduced 

support from private donors and foundations was still unclear. At the same 

time, members of our community began to become more dependent on us 

for existing programs and new needs began to arise. 

Our long history of operating through cyclical times has prepared us 

to deal with the challenges of providing additional services at a time of 

funding resource constraint. For example, in response to the weakening 

economic situation, we drew upon our strengths in the Jewish community 

to develop a guide to resources and to expand support for people newly 

affected by financial and personal stresses. Recognizing the financial 

pressures, we will continue to carefully evaluate the services we provide 

and how we can deliver them in the most effective manner. We are confident 

that we will build on our past successes and continue to develop creative 

ways of tapping alternative funding sources to maintain our core and 

innovative programs in the years ahead. 

During these challenging times, our staff, Board members and supporters 

continue to inspire us with their guidance, generosity and loyalty to achieve 

our mission of Strengthening Lives... Shaping Futures.
