Dear  Friends  of  Meadowbrook:     While  this  has  been,  personally,  a  difficult  year  for  me,  dealing  with  a  chronic  illness,   the   silver   lining   has   been   the   time   I   had   for   reflection.   I’ve   been   at   Meadowbrook   since  April  1993,  and  over  a  span  of  that  many  years,  one  tends  to  forget  a  few  of   the   lessons  learned  along   the  way,   like   taking  time  for  self,   and  thinking   to  the  fu-­‐ ture.   How   all   of   this   relates   to   Meadowbrook   is   that   I   have   brought   back   to   work   with   me   an   even   stronger   desire   to  grow,   sustain   and   replicate  the   Meadowbrook   Collaborative.    

the

  Hopefully,  by  now  we  all  recognize  the  new  normal  world  is  that  nothing  stays  the  same.  We  must  continually   move  forward.  It’s  still  really  important  to  celebrate  past  successes,  so  we  remember  from  where  we  came.       But   at   the   same   time,   determining   where   we  are   at   today   allows  us   to  look  at  the  foundation,   the   bricks   and   mortar   of,   in  this   case,  the  M eadowbrook  Collaborative.  Other  than  a   bit  of  tuck-­‐pointing,  we’re  good  to  go.  We   have   three   dedicated   stakeholders   in   the   City   of   St.   Louis   Park,   the   School   District,   and   Park   Nicollet   Health   Ser-­‐ vices.  Our  relationships  with  community,  immediate  and  at-­‐large,  are  healthy  and  strong.       Meadowbrook’s  volunteers  who   work   with  our   teachers   and  children  are   amazing   role   models   and  friends  –  Su-­‐ san  Hodder,  who  stepped  in  when  I  couldn’t  be  here;  Brian  Weitz,  a  teacher  in  another  district  who  is  here  every   week;   Courtney   Selstad,   our   webmaster;   John   McHugh   and   Kevin   Locke,   city   employees   who   after   a   long   day   show   up   because   they   know   how   important   it   is   to   us.   Michael   Goitom   and   Gina   Montillo,   two   remarkable   young   people,   have   been   connected   to   Meadowbrook   since   high   school.   Our   teachers   –   Kelsey   Okey,   Nate   Tangen  and  Kathryn  Storlien,  reach  out  to  the  children,  meet  them  where  they  are,  and  give  them  the  tools  to   succeed  …  and  feel  loved.       In  looking   to  the   future,   even  with  a  sound   structure,   we  recognize  with  anticipation  the  ever-­‐changing  needs   and  as  we  consider  best  practice  ways  to  continue  investing  in  the  lives  of  Meadowbrook’s  families  and  children.       Over  the  next  few  months,  we  will  be  moving  forward  in  a  couple  of  important  ways.  The  first  is  to  pull  together   our   leadership,   those   with   a   vested   interest,   to   recommit   to   the   Meadowbrook   Collaborative.   Our   advisory   council   is   made  u p  of  some   talented   people,  and  we   need   to   do   more   to  more   systematically   tap   into   those   tal-­‐ ents  to  create  a  greater,  stronger  circle  of  influence.  Perhaps  the  common  challenge  is  that  people  come  and  go,   and   we   need   to   set   aside   enough   time   to   re-­‐energize   and   make   sure   our   team   has   a   respect   and   understanding   for  the   history,  and  common  goal  for  the  future.    I  look   forward   to  working  with  this  creative  team  –  let  me  take   a  moment  to  introduce  you  to  them:

Another  step  we  will  be  taking  is  to  re-­‐invent  a  Marketing/Fund  Development  committee  to  give  us  a  fresh  look  at   fundraising  opportunities  that  we  hope  will  generate  financial  stability,  as  well  as  recruit  new  partners  and  friends.       We  continue   to   look   at   funding   our  cost-­‐effective   strategy   for   preparing  children   to   succeed  in   school.  It’s   discourag-­‐ ing   to   know   how   many   of   Meadowbrook’s   children   are   not   receiving   any   early   childhood   education   beyond   their   home  environment  We  know  that  if  we  can  add  an   additional  $10,000  to  our   annual   budget  we   can  p rovide  that  ser-­‐ vice  to   approximately   a.   dozen   kids   for  an   entire   calendar   year.   We   developed   a   pilot   this   past   summer   that   can   and   does  serve  the  children  and  help  prepare  them  for  future  success.       Being   an   established   collaboration   lends   us   the   full   support   of   our   partners,   covering   all   sorts   of   things   like   fiscal   management,   payroll   accounting,   technology   support,   on-­‐site   programming   like   Summer   Playground   and   Targeted   Services.  The  property  owner  donates  the  use  of  the  space  we  u se,  a  contribution  valued  at  $18,000  a  year   Did yo u know ? 88% o f o ur bud get is fo r sa lar ies a nd benef it s o f sta ff.

One hund re d pe rcent of ev ery d ollar goe s d irec tly into serv icing fa milies and c hildr en in t he M ead ow broo k co mm un it y. First  and  foremost   we  need  to  secure  our  operating  funds  for  fiscal  year   2012  –  2013,   and  to   do  that  I  am   again  com-­‐ ing   to   you  for   help.   We  need  to   sustain   the   Meadowbrook  Collaborative  by   raising   $105,000  over  the  next  7  months.   If   you   are   saying   –  HOLY   COW   –   the  good   news  is  that  I’m  making   this  request   of  more   than   one  person   (although   if   you  h appen  to  h ave  a  spare  $105k,  feel  free  to  send  a  check!).  Forty  seven  p ercent  of  our  operating  income  h as  come   in   the   form   of   $100   checks.   We   all   do   what   we   can,   and   I   promise   you   that   even   a   $10   gift   makes   a   difference   in   the   quality  of  service  provided  by  the  Meadowbrook  Collaborative.   Did yo u k now?
