2009 ANNUAL REPORT
FROM THE

reflective of the nation and the state’s economic situation. Throughout this difficult time, we
were fortunate enough to receive ongoing support from our devoted advocates, as well as
increased recognition and patronage from our newfound supporters.
We received visits from a number of Maryland’s most prominent leaders, resulting in
substantial recognition and tremendous support in our quest to revitalize our therapeutic pool.
We held numerous events to raise awareness and to strengthen the relationships of new and old
friends, as well as to pay tribute to some of our most enthusiastic supporters.
Please join us as we celebrate overcoming many hardships and reflect on a year of noteworthy
achievements and unforgettable social events. Through the continued support of our advocates
and the dedication of our staff and volunteers, we are ready and anxious to spring ahead into a
future of continual development, growth, and overall success.
Sincerely,

relationships – strengthening
the old and embracing the new.
It was a year of esteemed
recognition, remarkable support
and outstanding generosity.
In fiscal year 2009, we hosted a 2008
Presidential Election Voter Forum here at The
League, sponsored by the Maryland Disability Law
Center, and opened our doors to a handful of
Maryland’s most prestigious leaders: Comptroller
Franchot, Congressman Jon Sarbanes, City
Councilmen Bob Curran and Bill Henry, Governor
O’Malley’s legislative assistant Carolyn Quatrocki,
and Senator Joan Carter Conway. We also received a
most generous gift from our friends at Amerigroup, a
Sensory Stimulation Room which has found its home in
our Autism Services department.
Perhaps the most monumental achievement of fiscal year
’09 was the susscessful passage of the Maryland State
Legislature‘s March 2009 League for People with
Disabilities Bond Bill for the renovation of the Malcolm
Hecht Therapeutic Pool. After structural engineering
experts reported the life expectancy of the pool to be less
than one year’s time, due to deteriorating structure and
exposed rebar, our invaluable resource caught the
attention of Maryland State Senator Joan Carter Conway
and Delegates Maggie McIntosh, Ann Marie Doory and
Curt Anderson. The resulting Senate Bill 545 and House
Bill 762 granted The League a time-sensitive monetary
match up to $350,000 towards our $1,000,000 goal to
revitalize our therapeutic pool and continue to offer our
participants and the community-at-large the opportunity
to utilize a unique, life-saving therapeutic resource.

Throughout the fiscal year, we hosted numerous
events welcoming both new and old friends.
On October 23rd, 2008, we hosted the Celebrate Wellness
Fair, which featured blood pressure & osteoporosis screenings and physical therapy
information from Good Samaritan Hospital, body mass index calculations, height &
weight screenings and nutrition information via Amerigroup’s AMERIBUS, Breast
Cancer Awareness information from the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and The League’s
Wellness Center fitness instruction from our staff member Oram Fields. The event also
displayed a breathtaking art exhibit featuring works by Dan Keplinger, star of the “King
Gimp” documentary and former Camp Greentop participant, and the late Ellene Christiansen, a former League Board chair, artist and participant.
