We are most grateful. Very Special Thanks to… The Naugatuck YMCA for their generosity in providing a “home” for the United Way of Naugatuck & Beacon Falls; Ion Bank for providing meeting room space for our monthly Board meetings; Waterbury Republican American & The Citizens News for providing ad space; Rocco Corso and Corso Printing staff and Yelding, Inc. and Laurie Yelding for their continued support with printing services; American Copy and Coldwell Banker Realty 2000 for their support for Community Care Day by providing the flyers and helium; The entire staff at Ion Bank 87 Church Street branch for all their support during our Festival of Trees event; President’s Message It has been an honor for me to serve as Board President for the past two years. I can assure you that our Board of Directors is committed to helping those in need in Beacon Falls and Naugatuck. Ours is one of the smallest United Ways in the State of Connecticut, yet we certainly accomplish a great deal. We serve over 10,000 individuals in our communities through our partner agencies and raise funds through employee contributions and special events. The generosity of our donors and our event sponsors, the countless hours donated by our volunteers and the dedication of our partner agencies never ceases to amaze me. This community is truly extraordinary. Campaign Chair Allan Monteiro led a very successful campaign. He recruited some new members for his team and they worked diligently to obtain new contributors and reconnect with previous donors. We extend a great deal of thanks to Allan and his team for their energy and dedication to our United Way. Laurie Yelding President Our Allocations Committee, led by Stephen Pretto, spent countless hours this winter reviewing applications for funding. Individual meetings were held with each of our partner agencies to ensure that your dollars met the need of our community. We are truly thankful for their commitment and time given to this important process. The Marketing Committee, led by Dorothy Hoff, had another productive year, enhancing the website and Facebook page. This hardworking committee continues to promote our United Way with informational materials and also focused on United Way’s volunteers, donors and partner agencies. We are fortunate to have these dedicated volunteers working with us. United Way also had a very successful year with special events. These events give United Way the ability to connect with the people of our community in a different way. The Annual Car Show in July, sponsored by Ground Up, and our Golf Tournament both surpassed our expectations. Our Special Events Chair, Donna Andrew, once again outdid herself with Kentucky Derby Day and the Salem Bus Trip. Both events were fantastic and well attended. The annual Halloween Gala sponsored by Fitzpatrick, Mariano, Santos, Sousa PC, Morrissey, Morrissey & Mooney and Diversified Financial Solutions has grown every year and the costumes are always creative. Our 8th Annual Festival of Trees was held in December and brought together businesses, schools, agencies and people both young and old showing the true message of “community spirit”. Thank you to all the volunteers who help make these events so successful! We are grateful for the financial support the Naugatuck Partnership for Children (formerly Naugatuck Discovery) continues to receive from The Graustein Memorial Fund and Connecticut Community Foundation. The Partnership supports a number of programs in our community such as the Pre K Kindergarten Peer Mentoring Initiative, Breakfast Club (Empowering Naugatuck Children to Lead Healthy Lives), and Parent Leadership Training. The collaborative continues to explore opportunities to benefit all children in Naugatuck. During this past year, the Board of Directors created an Advisory Board which is an ancillary group of the Board of Directors. The primary purpose of the Advisory Board is to provide the United Way of Naugatuck and Beacon Falls with ongoing support and include a broader representation of the community. Additionally, the Advisory Board serves to engage those individuals who desire to maintain contact and involvement with the United Way of Naugatuck and Beacon Falls, yet are unable to actively participate in monthly meetings, and other Director commitments. Members will attend four meetings a year. A very special thank you goes to our Executive Director Lisa Shappy and Finance Director Beth Mongelluzzo for their continued commitment to our United Way. I am sincerely grateful to all of you for making my experience with the United Way of Naugatuck and Beacon Falls wonderful. I had the privilege to be Allocations Chair and meet our partner agency staff and clients, head up the annual campaign as Chair and the honor of working alongside caring and talented individuals who care so much about our community. Thank you to our donors, corporate sponsors, volunteers, partner agencies and staff. Live United.

Monteiro, Chair It has truly been an honor to serve as the 2014 Campaign Chair for the United Way of Naugatuck and Beacon Falls. I would like to thank all who have contributed to the success of this year’s Campaign. I would like to specifically thank the Board of Directors, Campaign Team, Marketing Committee and the Special Events Committee for their commitment, hard work, determination and continued focus in keeping the United Way of Naugatuck and Beacon Falls prominent in our Community. Thank you to the Allocations Committee who put in countless hours and effort in order to ensure that the campaign funds are directed where they will most benefit those in our Community. This committee is truly the core of the United Way. I am thankful for Executive Director, Lisa Shappy and Finance Director, Beth Mongeluzzo. They keep everything and everyone organized and on track! Their dedication and passion to this United Way is evident in everything they do. Allan V. Monteiro Campaign Chair I would also like to thank those who donated their time and talents to the United Way. Thank you for your contributions to our United Way and for your confidence in our organization. Without all of you, I would not be able to report that we have reached our goal of $440,000. For over 50 years, the United Way of Naugatuck and Beacon Falls has been, and continues to be devoted to helping our community - Live United! Sincerely, Allan V.

Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead Mom! Dad! Can you help me? As kids, we were the ones asking for help cleaning up our room or with tricky math homework, and certainly as parents, we do all we can do to assist our children. Sadly, some calls do not receive such immediate attention. Some problems are not so easily resolved. Fortunately, those of us who reside in Naugatuck and Beacon Falls live in towns with incredible community spirit. The needs of families in Naugatuck and Beacon Falls vary. Calls for help, which cannot so easily be answered by immediate family, are responded to by several church, school, scouting and community groups, including agencies which our United Way of Naugatuck & Beacon Falls helps to fund. Whether it is the American Red Cross after a tragic house fire, Literacy Volunteers helping the unemployed and those trying to better their skills, or Safe Haven sheltering abused women and children, there are many in our area who work or volunteer to make life better for all of us. Dorothy Hoff Marketing Committee As we wrap up another campaign year at the United Way, we would like to thank all of our supporters. The Citizen’s News’ Editor Elio Gugliotti and his staff are amazing, with press coverage for our events, passionate editorials, and advertising assistance. In addition to the support we receive throughout the year from the Republican-American, reporter Paul Singley serves on our Marketing Committee, offering his own expertise, advice and time, even creating videos for our use. Several local companies, Flabeg Technical Glass, ITW Powertrain, Goldenrod Corp, Yelding Inc., Sarracco Mechanical, Ground Up, Naugatuck Valley Saving & Loan, Ion Bank, and Town and Board of Education, offer their help, not only with corporate grants, donations, and payroll deductions, but also time donated by their CEO’s and employees, serving on our Board of Directors and various committees, including roll-up-your-sleeves event planning. Most importantly, we would like to thank each individual donor who contributes through their payroll, even designating money back to Naugatuck & Beacon Falls from their companies located elsewhere, and those individuals who donate what they can, or attend one of our events, the Sao Paio race, Halloween Gala, or Festival of Trees, because they know how important it is for us all to do our part helping those in need. These are not easy times. In what used to be two small towns in the Naugatuck River Valley, with bustling industries employing thousands, the United Way of Naugatuck & Beacon Falls was born through the insight and dedication of Robert and Anna Lee Van Allan, and their friends, who saw a need and answered the call. Today, we have become two towns struggling to reinvent ourselves, with most of the big industrial giants gone, but in their place, many small businesses and individuals who still see the need and answer the call.

The dedication and passion UW volunteers’ exhibit is simply remarkable. ARC of Waterbury 3,096 Catholic Charities 12,978 Family Services of Greater Waterbury 30,476 Hidden Acres Therapeutic Riding Center 3,203 The allocation process in particular gives members an up close and personal gateway into the lives of those it endeavors to aid. The range of resources required by our agencies varies greatly, but if one fact is certain it is that there is a growing need within our community to be there for those facing adversity and in some cases desperate for help. With new initiatives such as the “ALICE” project we will need continued ambition to keep pace with Naugatuck and Beacon Falls services. It was a pleasure serving as Allocation Chair the last 2 years. I truly appreciate the attention, professionalism, and commitment my fellow committee members demonstrated.
