From the Chair
Your Leadership gift is working to create opportunities for a better life for all in our community by focusing on education, income and health. These are the building blocks for a good life—quality educational opportunities, stable jobs, financial stability, and good health. United Way is able to create long-lasting change that address the underlying causes of community challeges. I give to United Way of Eastern Maine because I believe in what they do and I know my donation will make the greatest difference. That’s why I support United Way. Please join me with a 2009 Leaders’ Circle gift. Thank you.

Accountability – knowing we have three volunteer Community Impact Councils reviewing applications and making funding recommendations on programs and initiatives that generate measureable results. Our experience tells us that the best way to help the most people is to focus on the underlying causes of the most serious problems. Here in Eastern Maine, we are focused on critical issues such as early childhood education, caring for our elderly population and helping people in crisis.
This year I’m proud to be joining the Leaders’ Circle Committee as Co-Chair. I am also challenging you to LIVE UNITED. What does it mean to LIVE UNITED? It means that as a group of leaders we recognize that underneath everything we are, underneath everything we do, we are all simply people.

Advancing the common Good
community partnerships that advance
the common Good excellent mental and social stimulation to family members with memory loss. My Friends Place has helped Jill to keep her father Laurent active and socially stimulated at a difficult time in their lives. Laurent’s family noticed he was experiencing memory loss about 10 years ago and sought services in their community to keep their father healthy. Jill has expressed great appreciation for My Friends Place, a day program for individuals suffering from memory loss and Alzheimer’s. My Friend’s Place provides a safe place for caretakers to bring their loved ones for mental activities and social engagement.
A place for after school tutoring and mentoring while having fun. Kidcare America is an after-school program in Lincoln, Maine offering students social, mental and physical opportunities to grow and thrive. When Theresa came to Kidcare she was shy and uncertain of herself. Today, when friends and family describe Theresa you’ll hear “she is a very smart girl”, “now when she reads she can answer questions” and “she enjoys helping others”. Kidcare America aims to help children like Theresa grow to be strong adults and active citizens.
A safe environment for individuals with hiv to seek information and resources. Jean and her son Tim both have HIV. Throughout the last 17 years, Eastern Maine AIDS Network (EMAN) has helped them to be healthy contributing citizens of Eastern Maine. EMAN connected Pat and Jean with doctors to ensure healthy living with HIV. EMAN also provided supportive staff when the family needed someone to talk to about living with HIV. Pat, Jean and Tim have given back by volunteering to help with the student education group SAFER, serving on the board of directors, helping in the food pantry and walking in the annual AIDS Walk.

The importance of giving back to the community was taught to me at a very young age by my father. There are so many worthy causes in the community – supporting them through the United Way insures the highest needs are met first.
