The Hammer Family
2009 ANNUAL REPORT
“As government support
is shrinking, the demand
for Hammer’s services
is increasing. I believe
contributing our time
and resources is especially
critical today.”
Margaret Argall
shrinking
In 2009, Hammer’s budget was cut
by $425,000. 2011 will require
even deeper cuts.
Parent and Planned Giving Contributor
“Hammer did what was
needed to make it possible
for my sister to stay in the
comfort of her home, a true
gift to anyone facing the
challenges of Alzheimer’s.”
Marge Barrett
Sister of Patty Rogers who lived at Hammer from 1953 to 2008
“I believe we, as a
community, have a
responsibility to affirm
the value and support the
dreams of people with
disabilities.”

“We want to do
whatever we can to help
Hammer address this
heartbreaking reality for
other families. It really
does take a village.”
Rosemary and Marvin Fish
Parents of Leslie who moved into
Hammer’s Sumac Home in 2008

4,000 Minnesotans with developmental
disabilities are on waiting lists for
services.
2009 Hammer Highlights
Lucky to Have You
James, 73, is the handsome man pictured on the top of
the previous page. His parents and other relatives are all
deceased. Some of us at Hammer have known him for 30
years or more. We are James’ family.
James relishes being with people. He has a free day each week
so he “hangs out” at our office center, chatting with all of us who
work there. He often refers to us as family: “Tim,” he’ll say to me,
“I am lucky to have such a nice family. Isn’t that right, Tim?” I reply
each time, “Yes, James, you are lucky, and we are lucky to have
you, too.”
I believe all of us – not just Hammer staff – are James’ family. He has
lived a long and productive life because the community supports
his basic right to a satisfying life. His family is all the taxpayers who
are willing to give a portion of their earnings to provide him a life of
dignity. His brothers and sisters are the people who volunteer and
become his friends. His extended family is made up of donors who,
out of their generosity and sense of humanity, provide for special
opportunities that bring him joy and a home that accommodates his
needs as he ages.
More than ever, we need to partner in our efforts to give James and
other folks a life of dignity and hope and belonging. Together, we
can meet the challenges of shrinking government funding, aging,
feelings of isolation and waiting for services.
On James’ behalf, I want to thank those of you who pay taxes,
those of you who volunteer and those of you who donate financially
to ensure we accomplish our mission. James would say to you,
“I’m lucky to have a family like you, aren’t I?” And I would say, “Yes
you are, James, and we are lucky to have you, too.”
CEO
Two New Homes Opened: Knollway has
served four young men between the ages of
19-28 since August. They are very active in
their community and enjoy group activities.
Gardner, the home of four women, opened in
December and is unique because it is a familyowned home run by Hammer.
Hammer Travel Launched: We are
proud to expand our mission by offering travel
opportunities for people with developmental
disabilities that are unique, safe and
enjoyable. Please go to our new website
www.hammertravel.org for more details on all
our destinations and to book a trip.
Direct Support Teams Creatively Cut
Expenses: In response to government
cuts, we trimmed 3% or $425,000 from our
budget with minimal impact on our services.
While some administrative positions had to be
cut, we maintained optimum staffing levels in
our homes.
433 New Donors: ARTcetera, our annual
fundraising event, made $30,000 and many
new friends. New in ’09: “FUNdraising Parties”
were held by a few dedicated individuals and
raised $7,000! The Wayzata Rotary was our
inaugural community group for a “Friendraising
Tour” of our main offices last fall.
425 Volunteers Gave Over 8,000 Hours:
Active (continuing) volunteers dedicated over
7,000 hours of their time. One-time volunteers
gave 1,186 hours. The grand total of 8,186 hours
has an estimated value of $170,678.10!
High Scores in Employee Satisfaction:
An independent survey conducted by Deyta Co.
resulted in employees giving high marks in all
categories. A few stand out: on a 5 point scale,
4.73 of employees trust that Hammer leadership
will “do the right thing.” 4.65 would themselves
feel comfortable using our services.
Hammer provides adults and children with developmental
disabilities the opportunity to experience life to its fullest.
