Hedgecock Associate Director 2 President’s Report: As I was preparing this report, I read a story that moved me and which I want to share with you. A member of the Western Oregon University softball team, Sara Tucholsky hit the first home run of her career. Sara took off running but in her excitement she failed to step on first base. Quickly, she turned around to go back but fell and seriously injured her knee and was unable to get up. Rules prohibited her team mates from helping her and without her running the bases, her team would lose this critical game which would allow them to advance to the conference play-offs. Unbelievably, the first baseman and shortstop from the opposing team, went to Sara, hoisted her in the air and carried her around the bases to allow Sara to touch each base with her left foot. Sara’s team went on to win the game but more importantly, the crowd and team members were able to see what good sportsmanship and honor can achieve. I consider myself fortunate to see the same spirit and caring in all of the stakeholders who make “room at the inn” for our mothers and children. Our volunteers and donors who give of their time and financial resources to keep our doors open and food on our table; our professional staff who give so much of themselves to helping the clients achieve “new lives of healthy, hopefilled independence”; and our clients themselves who face the difficulties of their lives head on as they work to build better futures for themselves and their babies. In sports and in life, we are given so many opportunities to “step up to the plate” and make a real difference in the lives of others. During the last year, Room At The Inn of the Carolinas, Inc. has faced many challenges and difficulties. While program information and program outcomes are summarized throughout this report, I want to share with you some of the accomplishments of the last year and the vision we have for the future. Touching All the Bases Z O. Albert Hodges, President / C.E.O Accomplishments Our Room At The Inn of the Lowcountry program is off and running. After opening our doors in the summer of 2007 to provide limited services, our license was issued by the SC Department of Social Services in April of 2008. This allowed us to expand our services to full capacity. To recognize the generosity and hard work of the Knights of Columbus in helping to make “Room At The Inn”, the governing board voted to name the facility, the Father Michael McGivney Maternity Home after the founder of the Knights of Columbus. This facility is the only residential maternity program in SC to admit homeless, pregnant women with or without previous children. Our college program continues to grow. Through a collaboration with the First Church of the Brethren in Eden, NC, we are happy to expand our program to allow graduates from our maternity home programs to pursue their college education. This new facility, the Samaritan House, along with the Backyard Ministry of the Cherry Street United Methodist Church, continues to increase our partnerships with faith communities. With the Amy Elizabeth Disney House (a gift of Francis and Patty Disney and the Greater Greensboro Builders’ Association), we are able to provide long-term supported community living services for our graduates ROOM AT THE INN OF THE CAROLINAS / ANNUAL REPORT and their children while they complete their educational programs. Our agency is pursuing excellence through accreditation. In the summer of 2004, our Governing Board of Directors voted to pursue accreditation by the Council on Accreditation. In developing a five year plan to achieve these goals, many internal improvements have been implemented throughout our agency. These include: raising educational requirements for all program staff positions; increasing the organization’s commitment to stakeholder training and input; annual review of risk management and internal controls; implementing Performance and Quality Improvement processes throughout the agency; and developing short-term and long-range planning. In May, we conducted our first annual training weekend at which over 50 staff and volunteers attended. Challenges Ahead We are working hard to develop and diversify our funding base. The slowing economy of the last year has made operating our programs a challenge. In addition to rising costs in service delivery and a drop off in private charitable giving, we have seen the demand for our programs grow as more and more homeless, pregnant women and single mothers with children approach us for assistance. To meet the need, administrative staff and volunteers have conducted a review of costs and expenses that has already resulted in significant savings in liability and property insurance and supply procurement. In addition, we have developed a comprehensive development plan to expand our revenue sources. This annual campaign will allow us to build on our annual banquets by organizing smaller special events throughout the geographical areas we serve. Increased approaches to foundations, churches and businesses will round out our efforts to provide the financial resources necessary to serve our mothers and children. We are committed to strategic planning and the completion of the accreditation process: After four years of preparation and hard work, we have initiated the accreditation process that will take approximately 14 - 18 months to complete. Committees to conduct policy reviews, mock accreditation exercises, strategic planning and risk management/internal control reviews have been developed. Additional stakeholders including current and past clients, funders and volunteers are being recruited to help with this project. We anticipate further improvement in program delivery, agency efficiencies, and client satisfaction to result from these transparent and comprehensive processes. As always, none of this would be possible without your continued support and involvement. On behalf of the Governing Board of Directors, our staff and volunteers and especially our clients, I want to thank you for helping some of the most vulnerable of our society: homeless, pregnant women and single mothers with children, “touch all the bases” as they strive to build for themselves , “futures full of hope”.
