leTTer from The exeCuTive DireCTor anD boarD of Governors Chair
Dear Friends,
We have completed a wonderful year at Winnetka Community House. The success of our mission to provide a wide variety of educational, cultural, social and recreational opportunities is made possible due to the efforts of our dedicated and energetic staff, volunteers and instructors.
Volunteer involvement on the part of so many made it possible for the organization to have a successful year of fundraising activities, and the generous contributions and commitments we received from families and friends continue to help us build a bigger and better variety of offerings for individuals of all ages.
The outstanding community-wide support we receive makes all that happens at Winnetka Community House possible. We are committed to connect our own goals with the wants and needs of our constituents who see WCH programs as a means to enrich life for themselves and their families. With your ongoing support, we will continue to thrive in our second century of service to the community.
Once again, on behalf of the thousands served annually at Winnetka Community House, thank you for your gifts of time, talent and treasure.
Sincerely,
Timothy P. McCabe Executive Director
Carrie Healy 2012-2013 Chair Board of Governors

Through donations of time and resources, friends and staff of Winnetka Community House have helped strengthen the institution’s foundation and enriched the lives of others. At the close of the year, over $297,000 in unrestricted and restricted gifts were received from 808 donors. Many thanks and gratitude to Board of Governors, Woman’s Board and all who participated.

aCTiviTies
The Woman’s Board made significant contributions to Winnetka Community House through their countless hours of volunteer work and their generous financial support.
Antiques + Modernism Winnetka is the Woman’s Board’s primary fundraiser. Proceeds are used to fund needs throughout the Community House, including capital purchases. Chair Kristin Lolli and Co-Chair Laura Reynolds – along with donations of financial support, goods and services from individuals, organizations and businesses – made the event a huge success, raising over $106,000!

Winnetka Community House received $12,000 in honor of WCH’s 100th Anniversary and in memory and honor of loved ones. These gifts, often directed toward the general unrestricted fund, can also be a good starting point for a memorial and honorary league gift, endowed scholarship or for the purchase of a special gift for the facility.

The 2012-2013 Woman’s Board kicked off the holiday season with Breakfast with Santa. Over 300 children and parents visited Winnetka Community House to get a glimpse of Old St. Nick.
In March, 150 guests attended the Wine and Beer Tasting Event. Patrons were able to taste-test over 60 varieties of flavorful, well-priced wines and beers, while learning new secrets of the trade.
Thanks to the Woman’s Board’s generosity, Winnetka Community House netted over $115,000 from these wonderful events during the 2012-2013 fiscal year. We are extremely grateful for their hard work and generosity.
Over $89,000 was received in restricted gifts to support programs and projects of WCH. They document not only specific knowledge of special facets of the institution’s operations, but also the dedication and commitment of donors who have made these gifts in consultation with the Executive Director and the Director of Development.
Children’s Theatre of Winnetka and Village Follies activities provided over $54,000 in support for our theater productions and programs and the needs of Matz Hall. In addition, a leadership gift of $250,000 was received during the fiscal year for the Board Designated Endowment.

WinneTKa CommuniTY nurserY sC hool
By providing a rich and creative curriculum, highly qualified staff, opportunities for parental involvement and partnership and a sense of school community, Winnetka Community Nursery School (WCNS) strives to be a model of excellence in early childhood education. Preschool classes are offered for children ages two through four in addition to afternoon enrichment programs for children ages three through kindergarten. WCNS was founded during World War II and continues to be a thriving educational institution in the community. WCNS runs the Winnetka Children’s Fair, a 67-year-old community event held each year in June, kicking off summer for local children. Please visit our website, www.winnetkacommunitynurseryschool.org, for more information.
norTh shore arT leaGue
The second floor of Winnetka Community House has been home to the League for over 89 years. Art classes, workshops, lectures and special art events are held in both the sky-lit studio built for the League in 1932 and in the fully-equipped print room. As the only art center in Winnetka, NSAL fills a strong educational and cultural need in the community.
The League maintains strong ties throughout the community. Last year, NSAL partnered with Winnetka Community House on its 100th Anniversary Reaching for the Stars Art Project.
Among other collaborations were the New Trier Township Peer Jury Program, providing volunteer opportunities to youth identified as being “at risk” and participation in various Winnetka Park District events. The League also offers annual scholarships to graduating New Trier High School students who exhibit excellence in the arts. Visit www.northshoreartleague.org or emailinfo@northshoreartleague.org for more information.
The Junior leaGue of evansTonnorTh shore
The Junior League of Evanston-North Shore is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. To learn more about the JLE-NS, or if you are interested in becoming a member, visit www.jle-ns.org. ®
WYo
(WinneTKa YouTh orGanizaTion)
The Winnetka Youth Organization (also known as The YO to its teen participants) continues to be the only youth serving agency of its kind in Winnetka. We are proud to report another year of popular programming and services to over 1,000 of the area’s young people. The organization offers a variety of safe, substance-free activities after school and on the weekends that range from recreation, social service, education, and leadership opportunities that take place in addition to our open drop-in center hours. Our popular monthly concerts and open mic nights not only offer our teen musicians and performers an outlet for positive self-expression, they also serve a vital role for our attendees who choose to spend their weekend nights in our positive, substance free space. In addition to our monthly service projects, we also take an annual summer service trip and have worked with Habitat for Humanity the past two years to give teens a meaningful community service experience in a different part of the country.
We have a great Youth Board who is very engaged and committed to the success of the center and our programs. By offering a variety of programming and continuing to build a strong community of teens who love the “YO,” we are thrilled to share that over 80% of teens we have surveyed identify that our services have allowed them to gain or improve upon their community involvement, responsibility, and generosity.
To find out more about our events and services, please visit our website at www.winnetkayo.org or find us on Facebook!

Do You have a valiD Will?
Recent statistics reveal that of the 2.5 million persons who die each year in the United States, only 30 percent have a will, and many of those are not valid.
A will can ensure that your desires are fulfilled. If you have dependent children, you can designate who will care for them. You can specify who will handle the closing of the estate. You can time the distribution of gifts to children and grandchildren. You can designate the giving of
specific items to family members and friends. You can make provisions to support charitable organizations. A will puts you in control and allows you to make decisions according to your concerns and commitments.
We encourage you to call your attorney and make an appointment to have your will prepared or updated. Regardless of whether or not you include Winnetka Community House, please do this for yourself.
