holiday cheer
While the Beatles, VW bugs and the peace sign emerged, shifting
popular culture, so too began the questioning of the status quo
during the mighty decade referred to now as “The 60s”.
Our Co-Founders, Corinne Owen and
Bob Terese, also questioned the status
quo as pioneers with a vision, certain in
their belief that men and women with
developmental disabilities could be
taught consequential skills and hold
meaningful positions, where there
existed no proof in this possibility
at the time.

round up
our mission:
Helping people with
developmental disabilities
lead productive, happy lives
and connecting with the
human spirit in us all.
www.lambsfarm.org
Fifty years ago, those with
developmental disabilities
were shunned from society,
while organizations caring
for them existed simply to
keep them comfortable and
occupied. Yet, undaunted,
in a small pet shop on
Chicago’s State Street,
change had begun,
a vision had taken
flight. Twelve
men and women with developmental
disabilities cared for animals, assisted
customers and successfully attended
to the myriad details required to keep
a business running smoothly. We grew
and flourished. In just four short years,
a move was made north, to our present
campus, thanks to another forward
thinking individual, W. Clement Stone,
who bore witness to the unprecedented
success of our Founders’ vision. The
Lambs Farm, as we know it today, was
truly born. Here, our Participants gained
a life of independence and choices, rich
social lives on campus, as well as within
the community, enrichment in the pursuit
of hobbies and interests and a multitude
of employment options. To think,
previous to our Founders, what we now
hold as truth did not exist; our victories
becoming a model for the rest of the

From the
President and CEO’s desk...
As most remarkable things in history, Lambs Farm started
in 1961 as an idea: there must be more for people with
developmental disabilities than is being offered today.
The idea, of
course, was
formed out of
need for those
we now serve,
compassion
by our CoFounders,
and hope
from families everywhere with
nowhere to turn; and grew to
reality through nothing less
than enormous hard work,
patience, and sacrifice. As we sit
here today, no one could have
envisioned what that idea would
mean to hundreds of people with
developmental disabilities who
are living happy, productive lives.
Harder to imagine is what life
would have been like for them had
that idea never been spawned. It
is even harder to realize how many
years have passed.
So, it has finally arrived – the 50th
year of our existence. We have
thought, created, and planned for
more than a year now, and we
are ready. Events and initiatives
have been scheduled to hopefully
attract and engage a variety of
constituencies, both old and new.
In addition to reaching out to a
greater number of people, along
the way we hope to honor those
who have contributed so much to
our longevity - financially, emotionally, and literally of themselves.
It is a humbling experience
to adequately acknowledge
something that is in many ways
difficult even to articulate. So
many have come and gone, all
in some way leaving their mark
- from our Co-Founders, to the
families who helped start it all
and those who worked to keep
it going through the years, our
dedicated staff, our donors
and volunteers, those who have
supported our businesses, and
our vendors. An eclectic group
certainly, but one with a common
bond forged from their belief in
and support of the mission of
Lambs Farm.
What better way to honor those
who have meant so much to us
throughout our history than with
the promise of the future. Our new
logo, tagline and mission statement
represent images of Lambs Farm
that are more contemporary
and we believe better describe
our mission and how we work
to achieve it. The essence of our
new image reinforces the reality
that the human spirit needs more
than just physical nourishment to
survive, and that social interaction
and productive work are equally
essential. It is about helping people,
of course; but also allows those
people the self-respect and dignity
gained from helping themselves.
It is what one conjures up when
thinking of our Participants, whose
courage and tenacity to face each
day’s challenges is nothing short
of remarkable.
As it always has been for all those
we honor today, the reward is in
knowing that your investment in
the people of Lambs Farm has
made a significant difference in
their lives. Much more than that,
you have been part of something
very special, the creation of
a nurturing environment that
continues to impact all people who
come in contact with it: Lambs
Farm - a place Where People Grow.

world. Our growth is measurable
and we’re far from done.
As we prepare for our next halfcentury of service, our staff took
a look at what Lambs Farm means
to those of us “inside”, as well as
the community, what we do best,
and how we relate to the world at
large. What we know is that Lambs
Farm is a place where people
grow…Participants, families, staff
and visitors alike. The time has
come to better communicate
what Lambs Farm does, and
its benefit to those around us.
Excitedly, we have taken on the
task of a new brand image and
message not only describing
what we do and how we do it, but
demonstrating our commitment
to continued growth and change.
We’re embracing our future by
encouraging all that come in
contact with the Farm to grow
with us. Our new logo and tag
line, “Lambs Farm - Where People
Grow”, is intended to do just that.
During this upcoming year you
will see changes taking place, new
signage, on and off campus, a new
look to communication pieces,
increased media exposure, fresh
new packaging and products, to
name but a few, as we prepare
to embark on this next leg of our
collective journey.
We’re planning many events for
you to celebrate this momentous
occasion with us. These events
are designed for everyone,
Participants, families, donors,
volunteers and community
members, so that all may join us
in commemorating where we’ve
been, engage in where we’re
going, and celebrate all we have
achieved, together. The short list
includes our first gala in 10 years,
an updated golf outing, a 60s day
on the Farm, an Opera event, a
Participant dinner theater, reprising
Annie, as well as our ever popular
annual events such as Woofstock,
Haunted Harvest and Holiday
Brunches, to name but a few, all
with a 50th anniversary twist.
We look forward to celebrating
with those of you who have
helped make what we do possible.
We invite you to join us, as we
rededicate ourselves to our CoFounders’ vision and prepare to
make a powerful difference in the
lives of those with developmental
disabilities for the next 50 years
and beyond.

Lambs Farm
There are several meaningful
ways to support Lambs Farm.
In addition to frequenting our
businesses, you may choose
to volunteer your time,
help raise money or donate
yourself. You may also wish
to create an event, which
is what Delia McVoy and
Karen McVoy, a Lambs Farm
mother and sister have done.
They are organizing a special
concert, featuring Karen, an
internationally acclaimed
soprano, to benefit Lambs
Farm. The opera event will
be held at Nichols Concert
Hall of the Music Institute of
Chicago in Evanston on July 31.
Karen is delighted to be
returning to her hometown
of Chicago where she began
her career with the famed
Chicago Children’s Choir.
From opera to recital, from
gospel to art songs, her
artistry speaks for itself. This
exceptional event will not only
delight audiences but will also
pay a special tribute to our
50th anniversary.

Craft fair kicks
off holiday
season
The 30th Annual Holiday Lights
Gift and Craft Fair held in early
December was a destination
for those seeking to complete
their shopping in one stop.
Vendors filled three floors of
the Arlington Park Race Course
Grandstand with jewelry,
clothing, accessories, décor,
food and more. Thousands of
shoppers stopped by Lambs
Farm’s booth to purchase
our homemade goodies,
such as cookies, chocolates
and preserves, produced by
the men and women in the
Bakery and Country Store. A
few of our residents even had
the opportunity to help at the
Show and to personally thank
customers for their support.

The staff and Participants working
in the Bakery and Country Store
this holiday season were extra
busy as orders were placed by
phone, fax, mail and the Web. The
Bakery and Country Store were
also featured on NBC5 News,
adding to increased awareness
and more orders. The holiday
season is the favorite time of year
for our Participants who work so
hard to prepare these wonderful
gifts. They are so proud to share
their work with others, as our
products are sent as gifts across
the country, and sometimes
around the world. As Marc
Nachtman, a Participant working
in the Bakery, said it best, “Our
gifts are special because we put
our hearts into them.”
Don’t forget that gifts from
Lambs Farm can be purchased
all year. In addition, watch our

Day and Father’s Day!
Wining and dining for Lambs Farm
Lambs Farm commuter, Nicolas
Loustaunau, and his parents
recently raised nearly $2,000 for
Lambs Farm’s programs through
several fundraising events.
Nicolas, along with his parents
Mari and Jean-Marc, hosted a
wine tasting event, raffle and mini
Popcorn Days at their restaurant,
Café Pyrenees, in Libertyville.
Nicolas said he was interested
in hosting the events because
he has truly
enjoyed his
time working
at Lambs
Farm, first in
the Pet Shop
and now in the
Restaurant.
Because of the
success of the
previous events, Nicolas is busy
planning new events for 2011.

Special Olympics round up –
We are the champions!
In only its third year, the Lambs
Farm Black Sheep floor hockey
team stormed the fall state
competition in November and
came home with gold medals
and the championship trophy.
The Black Sheep were placed in a
division with Hersey and Vernon
Hills high schools – teams we
had faced earlier this year. The
previous matches were less than
satisfying with a loss to Hersey
and a tie with Vernon Hills. But
the Black Sheep were certain this
time the results would be more
pleasing. The team focused on
defense throughout the games,
allowing only four goals in two
games. When all was said and
done, the teammates gathered
together to raise the trophy in
celebration of their hard work and
accomplishment. Congratulations!
In additional sporting news,
Lambs Farm hosted the Special
Olympics District snowshoeing
competition in early January.
This is the first time we’ve hosted
a Special Olympics event, and
nearly 100 athletes from Lake and
McHenry counties attended with

Although there were only a few

was a lot of fun as friends became
competitors only for a race, and
then became friends again. Lambs
Farm’s athletes earned 17 medals
and one ribbon. Nice job!
Lambs Farm’s Annual Golf Day in
Memory of Jack Stein will be held
on Tuesday, July 19 at ThunderHawk Golf Club in Beach Park. In

Lambs Farm celebrates
with holiday cheer
As the weather turned cold and
blustery in December, Lambs Farm
Participants, families and staff
gathered together at the Marriott
Lincolnshire to share in the warmth
and joy of the holidays. This event,
sponsored by Karen Lieberman,
board member and Lambs Farm
parent, is one of our Participants
favorite festivities. In addition to
the fun of dressing up, enjoying a
good meal
and showing
off the latest
dance moves,
the party
provides an
opportunity
to visit with
each other
on a personal
level and to celebrate the season.
Save the dates!
Join us as we celebrate our 50th
anniversary with events all year
long for family members, donors
and the community. These events
offer great opportunities to get
involved through sponsorships,
volunteering and attendance. We
hope you will be a part of this
momentous year for Lambs Farm.
