2011 Annual Report
This year’s Annual Report is designed to reflect
the growth of Lambs Farm over the past 50 years
– from a small pet shop in the heart of Chicago’s
Gold Coast to a sprawling 72-acre campus just
outside Libertyville, Illinois. While we may have
grown in size, our mission remains the same – to
maintain exemplary vocational, residential and
social/recreational programs, and operate our
organization in a manner that will continue to
help people grow.

Growing the Legacy 3
A Message from the
President and CEO
Dear Friends:
Our 50th Anniversary has been a time to revisit our past. It has also been an opportunity
to celebrate Lambs Farm and the achievements made by the men and women we
have served since 1961. Now it is time to continue to look to the future and the
challenges that lie ahead.
It is a daunting responsibility to follow in the footsteps of two people who set out to
accomplish what they were absolutely certain was a correct and absolutely achievable
goal. They believed strongly in their conviction, and forged ahead to bring it to
fruition. It took courage, dedication, and an extremely strong will – quite a legacy left
to those of us who have come after them. There has been a concerted effort to do
everything in our power to perpetuate their vision. I believe we have succeeded.
Over the years, much has changed in the world in general, and for people with developmental disabilities
in particular. Laws have been enacted to protect and assure the equal rights they deserve. Society has
become more accepting. As our programming has expanded to meet their needs and desires, our
Participants have grown socially, vocationally, and athletically. They work and pay taxes. The life skills
they have learned instill feelings of self-worth, belonging and a sense of community. Our experience has
been that there is no end to what the men and women we serve can do, can hope to learn, and can
otherwise experience. It frightens me to think that because so much progress has been made, the world
will somehow take it all for granted – that there will be a sense that the job is done.
If our 50th Anniversary has taught me anything, it is that there is so much more to do. In an ever-changing
world, we must ensure that our Participants remain in step with society. Our programs must continue to
be fluid, following the paths of life they each have chosen. New ideas and new opportunities must be
readily available, together with the adjustments which must be made to accommodate the full spectrum
of our population – both young and older. They are doing their part to keep up, and our programming
needs to do the same.
We are so grateful for the support we have received over the years to provide the men and women of
Lambs Farm with the tools they need to make the most of their individual lives. Their journey continues,
and we hope you will continue to stay with them. Your investment in our Participants has been an
important element to their past successes, and we hope it will continue. With your help, we will provide
the opportunities, and they will do the rest. That was the belief of our Co-Founders, and it remains true
today. Now, it is up to all of us to ensure it will be true in the future as well.
Sincerely,
Dianne M. Yaconetti
President and CEO
4 Growing the Legacy
Christian Morgenstern once said that
home is not where you live, but where
they understand you. In the very truest
sense of the word, Lambs Farm is home
to more than 170 men and women with
developmental disabilities, and the
dream of a home to hundreds more on
our wait list. It is where our Participants
learn to live with others who understand
their unique challenges in this world. It
is where they take an active role in the
daily duties such as meal preparation
and self care. It is where they are
comfortable to admit they need extra
help to do what most others would take
for granted.
Lambs Farm’s first home was
affectionately called the dorm. It
was opened in 1976, and provided an
a place to call home
opportunity for 40 men and women to
leave their family home and begin a life
of their own. In 1980, Lambs Farm
opened nine group homes on campus,
providing an opportunity for 12 men and
women in each to live more independently
and have a more active role in helping
with meals, daily chores and maintaining
their own bedroom. They would have a
place they could call their own, and
decorate based upon their individual
personalities.
Growing the Legacy 5
It was their home. More residential options
would follow including an apartment
building and single-family homes in
surrounding communities, both catering
to those who preferred more independent
living. There is also a senior facility for those
needing more support.
For families whose loved ones move into a
Lambs Farm home, it is the realization of a
dream and the culmination of a lifetime of
caring. The moving day is often filled with
mixed emotions as family members struggle
to hold on while simultaneously letting go,
knowing Lambs Farm offers a chance at
independence and an extended family who
will provide support, love and friendship so
they can grow into the person they were
meant to be.
6 Growing the Legacy
Satisfying employment is the interplay
of appropriate abilities and skills,
responsibility, and respect for and
from co-workers. It is the essence of
contributing in a meaningful way to
society. It was the basis for Bob Terese
and Corinne Owen’s belief that
the young people they taught at
Bonaparte School, where they first
met, could do so much more. Satisfying
work was the reason the Lambs Pet
Shop on State Street came to be.
Today, 50 years later, what was a simple
storefront on State Street has given
way to a multitude of employment
options for Lambs Farm’s men and
women. Whether making chewy
turtlettes in the Country Store & Bakery
or gathering x-rays and digital scans
for doctors on their way to surgery,
our Participants are dedicated to
quality work.
pursuing fulfillment
in the workplace
Growing the Legacy 7
They take pride in a job well done, and revel
in being a trusted part of a team; many have
been with their employers for decades.
The men and women of Lambs Farm are
learning an array of skills that will propel
them not only in work, but in the other
areas of life – time management, discipline,
teamwork and more. They are enthusiastic,
knowing they have the chance not only
to do a good job, but also to leave a
lasting impression on those with whom
they interact.
8 Growing the Legacy
Lambs Farm’s Recreation program
has grown to include a wide array of
options designed to encourage exercise
and healthy eating habits, sports
appreciation, and remain active in
general. Through programs like Healthy
Lambs and Healthwise, Participants
learn of the benefits of regular exercise
and appropriate food choices. Exercise
comes in a variety of forms including
fitness classes, circuit training and more.
Healthwise classes teach Participants
how to make more balanced meal choices
and the importance of proper nutrition
in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
staying active
Recreation and healthy lifestyles has
always been an important part of
Lambs Farm’s programs. While working
at the Bonaparte School, Bob and
Corinne recognized the students needed
more than busy work. An opportunity to
stretch their legs, play some games or
simply visit with friends allowed for a
more fulfilling life.
Growing the Legacy 9
Friendship is important to everyone.
Bob and Corinne saw their “young people”
create bonds of togetherness in the pet
shop on State Street. They created the
Lambs Social Club which would meet one
day a week during the lunch hour. The group
elected officers, created a flag and held a
holiday pot luck dinner. Being part of a
group sharing similar interests and
experiences creates a feeling of belonging.
For the men and women at Lambs Farm,
friendships with co-workers, roommates,
teammates and staff members provide yet
another support system. When asked about
the best part of being at Lambs Farm, most
of our men and women talk about the
friendships, the opportunity to be included
and the chance to share similar experiences.
Gathering to share the day’s news or talk
about a favorite team, movie or TV show
creates camaraderie, leading to an
increasingly close-knit community. Fears
and disappointments are allayed while joys
and accomplishments are celebrated. Being
a part of a group means differences are
reasons to be welcomed, not the basis
for being excluded.

opportunity to visit regular sites such as
the mall, library, stores, restaurants, local
parks and forest preserves, and more.
The participation in the surrounding
areas is not limited to shopping and the
consumption of services; however, many
of our men and women are active as
volunteers in church groups or long-term
health-care facilities. Giving back to
others also allows them to receive the

Growing the Legacy 11
To be human is to be constantly learning
and growing. Bob quickly recognized the
need for additional learning opportunities
at Bonaparte School. During the school
week, he would gather the students in a
corner of the room with a small kitchen set
up, and they would prepare food such as
macaroni and cheese, hot dogs and more.
While only a small step, the joy of learning
and accomplishing something new fueled
the desire to learn and do more.
Today, the men and women at Lambs Farm
avail themselves of numerous enrichment
opportunities whether it is the chance to
try a new sport in Recreation, learn how to
sew, build a book case in Quest classes, or
increase a skill set at work. Through these
opportunities they are able to reach beyond
themselves, unlocking potential once hidden.
Through the classes, we’ve discovered
actors, musicians, American history buffs,
avid readers, builders and so much more.
Not surprisingly, the men and women of
Lambs Farm are also instructors, teaching
everyone they meet that although they
may seem different, their drive to excel, be
loved, accepted and respected is what fuels
us all.

12 Growing the Legacy
Lambs Farm Programs
With 50 years of service to people with developmental disabilities, the vision of our Co-Founders,
Bob Terese and Corinne Owen, lives on and serves as the foundation for the future of Lambs
Farm. An innovation from its inception, Lambs Farm has grown from a small pet shop in
Chicago to a 72-acre campus where opportunity flourishes for nearly 250 men and women.
Lambs Farm helps to create these opportunities by offering a growing number of options for
Participants through a full range of employment, residential, recreation and life skills programs.
Employment Services
Recreation and Life Skills Program
The Lambs Farm campus businesses serve
as vocational training sites for Participants,
and teach valuable work skills. Participants
at Lambs Industries, located near the Lambs
Farm campus, undertake subcontract jobs
such as packaging and assembly. Participants
may also choose to work in community
businesses. Individual placements are
facilitated by Lambs Farm employment
specialists who work directly with
Participants to be successful in their chosen
jobs. Using a team approach, Supported
Employment Programs meet the staffing
needs of local businesses by providing an
enclave of two-to-eight workers along with
a Lambs Farm job coach. When it’s time to
retire, Lambs Farm offers a Senior Program
where Participants engage in a variety
of activities designed to help them have
enjoyable and productive retirement years.
Social and recreational services focus on
helping Participants learn life skills, improve
physical wellness and develop life-long
interests. Participants may take part in
individual and team sports as well as training
for the Special Olympics. The Founders’
Building, located on the Lambs Farm campus,
holds an Olympic-sized gymnasium and
physical fitness center. Social activities
include special-interest clubs, camping,
dances and many activities in the local
communities. The Quest Program provides
opportunities for Participants to pursue their
personal goals with classes available in a
wide variety of topics, ranging from social
and daily living skills to travel, history,
arts/crafts and sports, to computers and work
skills. The Daily Living Skills Program offers
small group instruction in food preparation,
self care, laundry, money management, home
care and more.
Residential Options
Lambs Farm offers residential options both
on and off campus. Participants living in the
campus group homes learn community and
daily living skills in a supportive environment.
The W. Clement and Jessie V. Stone
apartment building features individual
apartment units for Participants who have
already acquired the necessary daily living
skills and require minimal staff support.
The Green-Field intermediate care facility
is a home for Participants who require more
staff assistance. Staff are available 24 hours
a day to provide an increased level of care.
Participants may also choose to live in a
nearby community. These homes receive
intermittent staff support.
Community Involvement
The men and women of Lambs Farm are integral
members of the communities surrounding the
campus. Many volunteer at local churches,
long-term care facilities and other local
organizations. Others find camaraderie
through membership in community groups.
Participants may also choose to join group
outings to sporting events, musicals, dinners
and more, or use the scheduled transportation
to visit area stores, libraries, theaters or
restaurants. Whether participating in local
events and activities, visiting area attractions,
relaxing in the parks or shopping, our
Participants fully enjoy all of the amenities of
their local community.

Friends of Lambs Farm continued to come together in Fiscal Year 2011 through a variety of
fundraising events. These events raise funds to support the mission of Lambs Farm.
26th Annual Golf Day in memory
of Jack Stein
July 20, 2010
For 26 years, Golf Day has been the most
successful event Lambs Farm has hosted. In
2010 we raised more than $163,000 through
corporate, foundation and individual support.
This year, for the 10th consecutive year, more
than 140 golf enthusiasts enjoyed a day on
the links at the award-winning ThunderHawk
Golf Club in Beach Park. Golfers had a chance
to win both a 2010 Lexus IS 250 Convertible
courtesy of Woodfield Lexus and a 2010
Toyota Prius courtesy of Schaumburg Toyota,
the Hole-in-One sponsors. The 6th Annual
Jack Stein Luncheon was held the day
following the tournament. The luncheon also
raises money for our programs and services
while honoring the memory of Jack Stein.
