Villa Esperanza Services 2009 Annual Report

Dear Friends:Villa Esperanza Services has been at the forefront of programs for individuals with developmental disabilities for 48 years. Villa is the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves; a “House of Hope” for clients and families; an implementer of change; and a promoter of independence. We move into 2010 with greater challenges awaiting us and with the strength and perseverance to overcome those challenges, never wavering from our priority — our clients.

We are proud of the many accomplishments achieved in 2009, one of which was the completion of our three-year strategic plan. Our goal was to strengthen Villa’s leadership, enhance the capacity of our current programs and create new integrated programs to serve anticipated community needs, including:

• the growing number of young adults diagnosed with autism transitioning from high school into adult employment or day programs;

• the moderate-to-severely disabled population in need of occupational therapy services;• aging adults who are dealing with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and related

disorders.

Through the support of the Weingart Foundation, we executed the major goals in our three-year strategic plan with a 41% increase in services to individuals with disabilities. We wish to acknowledge and thank our previous CEO, Dottie Nelson, who retired in March 2009, for her role in the completion of our plan and for all she did for Villa during her 12 years of leadership.

The impact Villa is making on individual lives is significant. We are changing the lives of the people we serve while inspiring families, donors, legislators, employers and many others. We thank all of you who join us in providing Love, Care and Hope.

Sincerely,

Wendy Petry Kelly White, MA, LMFTChairman, Board of Directors Chief Executive Officer

Our Programs


Volunteers for Excellence Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States and we are glad to see volunteers choosing Villa to spend their time and energy. Some are students looking to fulfill community service hours, others are professionals who are looking for productive ways to give back. No matter how our volunteers get here, they all tend to stay and agree that Villa is the right organization to support. Villa Volunteers are touched by the special people we serve and are proud to be part of such a happy place lending a hand to help others gain independence. Approximately 250 volunteers gave over 5,500 hours this past year and they all left feeling like they received more than they gave.

Debbie MeymarianFamily Matters

For Debbie Meymarian, Villa Esperanza Services is all about family. Her involvement began when her cousin Laura, who had Down syndrome, moved into a Villa Esperanza residence when she became an adult. The home that Villa provided meant that Laura would still be close by her family. “We always knew that she was happy and well taken care of.” Laura has since passed away, but Debbie describes the time that she spent at Villa’s residence as being full of joy and happiness.

More recently, Debbie’s young cousin Jonathon has become a student at Villa’s School. Jonathon was born with Angelman Syndrome, a rare neuro-genetic disorder characterized by intellectual and developmental delay, jerky movements and frequent laughing and smiling. Jonathon’s mother appreciates that the staff and teachers at Villa have the highest of expectations for Jonathon and she is amazed by the progress and new things he learns since he started attending Villa’s School. Jonathon recently broke his arm and had to undergo surgery. After his surgery, Casey Gregg, Villa’s Principal, arrived in Jonathon’s hospital room. She sat by his side and comforted Jonathon for several hours. Debbie calls Casey’s dedication “the ultimate example of the care and understanding of faculty and staff at Villa.” For Debbie, supporting Villa ensures that the organization has the means to grow and continue to provide services for Jonathon and his friends.

A Passion for Giving

Pasadena couple Rlene Mijares de Lang, General Manager and Partner of Mijares Mexican Restaurant, and husband Gordon de Lang, Senior Vice President of Pasadena’s East West Bank, are a powerful force in the local community. As long time supporters of Villa Esperanza Services, their strong commitment has influenced many individuals to join them in contributing to Villa.

As a child, Rlene’s mother and grandmother fostered an ongoing compassion for those with special needs. Through a close friend, Rlene became directly involved with Villa 23 years ago. While supporting a number of other worthy community organizations including the boards of the Huntington Hospital and Pasadena Community Foundation, Rlene remains dedicated to Villa as her first passion.

Husband Gordon enthusiastically followed that passion for Villa after seeing “what a special place it was nearly 20 years ago.” Like his wife, Gordon serves on a number of boards with Villa remaining central to his commitments. Gordon says, “As a society, we are measured by the care and support that we provide to those in need, at risk, and who are challenged by developmental disabilities. Villa gives us the perfect opportunity to give back.”

Both Rlene and Gordon reflect on what a wonderful experience their relationship with Villa has been. While citing the outstanding reputation and trust that Villa has established in the community, especially the leadership of the staff and administration, the heart of their passion comes down to the smiles and hugs from Villa’s clients.

“I know, see, and feel the love, nurturing, and passion that exists within everyone who works there,” says Rlene. “They truly love what they are doing and it is reflected in the clients’ faces.”

SenatorCarol LiuChampion for the Cause

California State Senator Carol Liu describes herself as a “helper and service oriented person.” Widely recognized for her legislative achievements on behalf of the disabled community, she was named 2009 Legislator of the Year by the Arc of California, the state’s largest organization for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Senator Liu believes that it is government’s fundamental responsibility to provide services to those with the greatest need. “The difficult budget challenges facing the state mean that we must pay careful attention to the people most in need of our assistance.”

As Chair of the Senate Human Services Committee, she plays a key role in meeting these challenges. Her commitment is to work closely with Senate leaders and the Budget Committee to ensure any budget changes are “fair, equitable, and do the least harm.” As a former teacher, Senator Liu believes that everyone should be able to live their lives to the fullest and that this is a bigger challenge for the disabled community. “Everyone has a gift to offer even with their disabilities. They inspire us to do better and we ought to cherish those opportunities to make good on our investments in people. Organizations like Villa Esperanza that provide support services are key to making this happen for lots of folks.”

TOURNAMENT OF HOPETournament of Hope raised $177,000. The event, sponsored by Wells Fargo, included a special award presented to Villa’s then CEO, Dottie Nelson for her 12 years of leadership.

Harold GordonandJeff SalzmanGood Business

At the Agoura Hills headquarters of Nature-Watch, President Harold Gordon and CEO Jeff Salzman have created a mutually beneficial relationship with Villa Esperanza Services by providing employment for a crew of our clients. In 2003, Harold and Jeff acquired the business that provides educational products and craft activity kits designed to teach children about nature. Having had a prior positive experience, it seemed to them that Villa clients might be a good match for their package assembly preparation. The initial crew started in 2006 doing counting, weighing, and bagging. As the clients became increasingly embedded in their company, they began playing a larger part in their day-to-day operations. Current responsibilities include actual assembly of kits into their final form, a task that requires a high level of consistency, accuracy and attention to detail. Jeff and Harold credit Villa job coach Susan Snowden for enabling the clients to succeed in these expanded roles. “She understands what our company needs in terms of a finished product and finds ways to accommodate each client’s capabilities so they can successfully meet our goals.” By employing clients from Villa, Harold and Jeff ’s motivation is not only about supporting a charitable cause. For them, it also makes good sound business sense. For Villa, it develops some very proud and capable clients.
