NORTH STAR COMMUNITY SERVICES
NORTH STAR <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Services</strong>: Year in Review from Executive Director<br />
Dear Friends of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Services</strong>,<br />
Once again, we have experienced a successful year of providing essential services to<br />
hundreds of people throughout 13 counties in <strong>North</strong>east Iowa. Our highly skilled,<br />
compassionate, and dedicated staff members provided supported living services, day<br />
habilitation and day care services, and employment services to over 580 people.<br />
Some of the results of our services include;<br />
Mark Witmer<br />
Executive Director<br />
o People we serve in day habilitation and adult day care programs had more opportunities to participate in<br />
community activities than ever before<br />
o A full scale art exhibit showcasing the talents of many of the people we serve was presented at the Hearst<br />
Center for the Arts<br />
o A Christmas program presented by our Waverly Center consumers was performed to a packed house<br />
(necessitating a change of venue for this year)<br />
o 95% of the people receiving supported living services significantly improved in their ability to live<br />
independently in the community<br />
o Nine people (3%) we served in supported living services no longer need our services<br />
From a financial standpoint, we were lucky to defy some of the difficulties<br />
many others have been dealing with as a result of the economic downturn. We<br />
ended our fiscal year with revenues in excess of expenses by a small margin.<br />
As I am writing this letter to you today, though, our financial success of last<br />
year will not be repeated in fiscal year 2011. We are projecting a very difficult<br />
remainder of the fiscal year which will likely continue into fiscal year 2012.<br />
Unfortunately, funding cuts and increased costs have resulted in a not-so-rosy<br />
financial outlook.<br />
For the remainder of this fiscal year, at least, we are planning to redouble<br />
our efforts to raise additional funds in order to close the gap between our<br />
revenues and our expenses. Over the years, our efforts concerning private fund<br />
raising have always been to use private contributions to enhance or improve<br />
services in ways that could not be covered by our fees. However, this year, we<br />
are appealing to our donors and contributors to consider helping us through<br />
this difficult time – not necessarily by helping to enhance services, but to<br />
help insure their continued financial viability. You can help by considering a<br />
donation to <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Services</strong>, Inc. this year.<br />
On behalf of the board of directors, I thank you for your continued interest<br />
and support of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Services</strong> over this past year. We are<br />
looking forward to many more years of providing services that empower each<br />
person to realize potential, pursue dreams, and enjoy life. Thanks again for all<br />
you do in support of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong>.<br />

SUCCESS STORY<br />
AduLt dAy ServiCeS<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Services</strong>’ Adult Day <strong>Services</strong><br />
programs include:<br />
• Day Habilitation <strong>Services</strong><br />
• Advantage Day Habilitation<br />
• Brain Injury <strong>Services</strong> Leisure Center<br />
• Newel Post Senior Day <strong>Services</strong><br />
The program supports individuals by creating opportunities for interactions<br />
and experiences that promote personal growth, confidence, and community<br />
involvement.<br />
Those who participate in day programs also give back to their communities by<br />
volunteering at the food bank, shelters, and other social service organizations.<br />
They also collected winter clothing items and assembled pins for veterans.<br />
Clients collect items to assemble boxes that get mailed to our troops in<br />
Afghanistan.<br />
Supported <strong>Community</strong> Living ServiCeS<br />
In fiscal year <strong>2010</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Services</strong>’ Supported <strong>Community</strong><br />
Living (SCL) programs helped hundreds of individuals with a wide range of<br />
disabilities to live in their own home or apartment in the community. SCL<br />
services are designed to support an individual’s choice to live as independently<br />
as possible. <strong>Services</strong> address the need for training and support in areas such<br />
as: health, safety, home maintenance, community accessibility, self-advocacy<br />
and budgeting.<br />
Individuals receiving SCL support in <strong>2010</strong> maximized their independence by<br />
meeting 86%+ of their personal independent living goals.<br />
Bill M. came to <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Services</strong> in April <strong>2010</strong>. He has a mild intellectual<br />
disability and since he only has a 3rd grade education he has problems with reading and<br />
writing. Bill had been struggling with depression as well as drug & alcohol dependency.<br />
He had been unsuccessful in his business and personal life - he had no family, no income,<br />
was several thousands of dollars in debt and had been in and out of the hospital numerous<br />
times.<br />
Since coming to <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong>, he has been able to apply for and receive social security<br />
benefits, which is allowing him to pay-off several of his debts and fines. <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong>’s staff<br />
helped him set up a verbal driver’s license exam, which enabled him to pass and obtain<br />
his driver’s license. He is now clean and sober and getting re-acquainted with some family<br />
members. Bill feels he is now “living the dream” and according to him, “this is his second<br />
chance and he is not going to blow it!”<br />
One interesting thing about Bill is that he owns a very unique home in Laurel, Iowa. His<br />
home had been featured in local papers because Bill made all of the improvements to his<br />
home himself, using only found or donated materials (including an old grain bin as part of<br />
the roof).

The great things people<br />
are saying about <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Star</strong>...<br />
“Everything is excellent. He<br />
loves coming to Newel Post<br />
and would be very lonseome<br />
if he didn’t”.<br />
“The care is tremendous - I<br />
have no worries or concerns<br />
while our daughter is at <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Star</strong>. The program is great<br />
and the people working there<br />
are extraordinary.”<br />
“He is learning to be<br />
responsible and seems much<br />
more content since he<br />
started. I’m very appreciative<br />
of this opportunity for him.”<br />
Newel Post is “a great<br />
program with wonderful staff”.<br />
“There is always a happy<br />
greeting at the door. Dad<br />
really enjoys his time.”<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> is “invaluable and<br />
goes above and beyond for<br />
their clients. To be honest, we<br />
don’t know what we would<br />
do without this help and<br />
support. Thank you so much!”<br />
