What is United Services? Our agency is a private, nonprofit organization focused on educating and supporting preschoolage children. We are recognized leaders in providing educational and therapeutic programs for children with special needs and are nationally accredited to provide quality educational programs to children of ALL abilities. Simply stated… United Services is a leader in preparing children of all abilities to reach their full potential. The hallmark of our programs is INCLUSION. Children with disabilities and typically developing children play and learn together in the same classrooms. They see each other simply as friends and classmates, regardless of their different abilities. During the past 37 years, United Services has provided early intervention programs to thousands of children, equipping them to succeed as they enter Kindergarten. But to really understand, you have to see it for yourself. Come tour our two centers – 4140 Old Mill Parkway in St. Peters and 2025 Hanley Road in Dardenne Prairie. Walk through the halls and hear little ones singing and laughing. See the learning taking place as our staff gives words of encouragement. You will leave with a different outlook on your day, maybe your life! 28 Years of Blue Ribbon Committee Success In 1984, a group of volunteers assembled to help financially support United Services by organizing a small dinner auction. Twenty-eight years later, the Blue Ribbon Committee of United Services still works to provide important financial support for the agency’s programs and services. Over the years, thanks to your support, the committee has raised more than $2 million for United Services. Extraordinary! We owe a great debt of gratitude to all committee members, past and present, for their amazing work. Thank you to the 2012 Blue Ribbon Committee for putting together another fantastic event! “Let’s Luau!” Thanks for Coming!

The dictionary’s definition includes words like …DONATION, LEGACY, GIFT… Quite simply, an endowment is an investment in the future. The Endowment for United Services was created in 2002 to ensure the long term financial viability of the agency and the children we serve. A gift made TODAY to the Endowment can be through various forms - cash, appreciated stock or real estate to name a few. A PLANNED GIFT is passed on to the Endowment after your death. Some common examples of gifts include a bequest in your will, designating the Endowment as beneficiary of a life insurance policy, a charitable remainder trust or a gift annuity. Proceeds from tonight’s auction item #24 will help us reach the $1 million milestone for the Endowment. Revenues generated from the investment of contributions are available to support the agency mission in the future. United Services has a long and treasured history of serving thousands of children in St. Charles County because so many have generously and selflessly given to support the agency over the past 37 years. Your contribution to the Endowment will help ensure that United Services will be here to assist future generations for many years to come. Thank You for your support!

Trustees include, from left, Don Schappe, Nancy Matheny, Dan Elliott, Melba Houston, Bob Hall, Elise Homeyer and Jim Pitman. Cuivre River Electric Cooperative and United Services have a special partnership made possible by Cuivre River’s 59,000 members and the cooperative’s community outreach program, Operation Round Up. Cooperative members round up their electricity payments 1¢ to 99¢ each month to fund the Cuivre River Electric Community Trust and help their neighbors. Since the program began in 1997, those pennies have totalled more than $3 million dollars. Community Trust volunteers have the daunting task of putting those pennies to work. With help from community partners like United Services, many of these pennies can help meet the needs of special children and their families.
