A Special Tribute to our<br />
Founder, Linda Braun<br />
At our 3rd <strong>Annual</strong> Family Album Gala in April <strong>2008</strong>, we<br />
were excited to announce a special dedication ceremony<br />
being planned to honor the founder and original Executive<br />
Director of <strong>Families</strong> <strong>First</strong>, Linda Braun. In collaboration with<br />
our friends at Wheelock College, a tree will be planted<br />
in the new quad being designed at Wheelock College.<br />
Linda’s passion and vision, combined with the support of Wheelock College and the Boston Children’s Museum, resulted<br />
in the birth of <strong>Families</strong> <strong>First</strong> 20 years ago. The tree will be a symbol of growth, strength, and wisdom – all gifts that Linda<br />
has shared with us and so many others over the years. We hope you will be able to join us for this special celebration in<br />
spring 2009...more details to come!<br />
<strong>2008</strong> Nan B. Kay Volunteer<br />
of the Year Award Goes to...<br />
Suzanne Rothschild<br />
The Nan B. Kay Volunteer Award is presented annually in honor of Nan Kay, a volunteer<br />
who made extraordinary contributions to <strong>Families</strong> <strong>First</strong> through her energy, commitment, humor, good sense, generosity,<br />
and wise counsel. Each year, <strong>Families</strong> <strong>First</strong> staff, Board Members, and Friends Council members are asked to identify an<br />
extraordinary volunteer who has contributed to <strong>Families</strong> <strong>First</strong> throughout the year.<br />
We are pleased to announce that Suzanne Rothschild has been selected as our <strong>2008</strong> Volunteer of the Year! Suzanne is a<br />
former <strong>Families</strong> <strong>First</strong> Board Member and a current Friends Council Member. She has served on countless event committees<br />
and along with her husband, John Baynard, generously donated their time, creative expertise, and technical resources for<br />
the creation of our newest <strong>Families</strong> <strong>First</strong> video. In spring <strong>2008</strong>, Suzanne joined Board Members Melora Balson and Meryl<br />
Kessler to co-chair our 3rd <strong>Annual</strong> Family Album Gala and played a significant role in the creation and production of our<br />
20 Faces of <strong>Families</strong> <strong>First</strong> Presentation, which was one of the night’s most memorable moments. Suzanne is an extraordinary<br />
volunteer who has touched <strong>Families</strong> <strong>First</strong> in countless ways and has helped strengthen our organization for the past<br />
twenty years. Thank you, Suzanne!
