The 2008-09 Annual Report is available as a downloadable PDF document. The following letter is taken from the current report.
Dear Friends,
Like many non-profit organizations, Rosalie Manor Community & Family Services has entered one of the most challenging economic periods in its history, a time that will be remembered for our community’s increasing needs and declining resources. The reality is that we all have to do more with fewer resources. In response to these conditions, Rosalie Manor is working hard to sustain its most critical programs while improving the effectiveness and efficiency of our services.
Our program participants also face individual challenges that are impediments to their improved future. These impediments can be removed by learning to make responsible decisions as adolescents, maturing to meet the responsibilities of teenage pregnancy or becoming present as a father in their child’s life. Addressing these challenges requires participants to acquire needed competencies, and this is what our programs do. Whether maintaining prenatal health, teaching appropriate parenting skills, building healthy relationships or creating a safe and healthy family environment, Rosalie Manor is there to assist.
Rosalie Manor remains focused on the needs of those we serve – the child, teen parent, family and all components of our community that favorably influence a child’s development, safety and future success.
We appreciate the individuals, businesses and foundations that contribute to Rosalie Manor’s programs. Your support makes a difference and continues to assist Milwaukee families during this challenging financial period.
Sincerely,
Steve Gorzek, Board President
Don Shane, Executive Director
