As we look ahead to what the rest of 2016 holds for us, many of us anticipate exciting opportunities in our personal and professional lives. The new year often brings a renewed sense of energy and enthusiasm to many of us in the form of New Year’s resolutions. Whether your goal is to exercise and eat healthier, to approach new learning opportunities or to take more time to reflect on those things you are thankful for, we can each use this time of the year to embrace new challenges.

I will and encourage each of you to take a moment to consider how you can make one change in your daily routine to provide a better sense of community to those around you. Perhaps it is as simple as smiling and saying hello to a colleague when you meet them on the sidewalk; stopping to talk with a student or adult served by Melmark to get to know them better; or participating in the Peer Mentor Program to assist new staff members as they make the transition into what can often be extremely challenging roles. These actions are reminders that it takes all of us to make this the community in which we love working.

Let’s use the days and months ahead of us to make sure we are doing all we can to keep Melmark the Center of Excellence it is known as being. Thanks to each of you for all you do every day to improve the lives of the children and adults we serve. Your commitment to them and to their families is unmatched.

Kicking off a Year of CelebrationsFlag Raising and BreakfastMelmark kicked off its 50th anniversary year with a flag raising and celebration breakfast on January 27, 2016. Clients, family members, friends, volunteers and staff were at the event, which celebrated the history and future of Melmark.

After a performance by The Joybells, Melmark President and CEO-Elect, Rita Gardner, M.P.H., LABA, BCBA talked about the impact of one couple’s dream to make a difference for their daughter, Melissa. Afterwards, retiring President and CEO, Joanne Gillis-Donovan, Ph.D. thanked all staff for their compassion and tireless work. She highlighted the many successes of The Joybells as she congratulated Joybells Director, Sue Graves, on her 25th anniversary with the bell choir.

Following the morning’s special presentation, which included artwork by Melmark students and gifts handed out by children and adults, guests proceeded to Center Circle outside Melmark’s Main House. They watched as Melmark’s original resident, Melissa, along with her sister Diane Krentel-Hodge, hoisted Melmark’s 50th anniversary flag. Rita Gardner and Joanne Gillis-Donovan completed the flag raising ceremony together.

We were thrilled to have our friends from 6abc and NBC10 join us for the event.

Advocacy CornerBudget Impasse UpdateAs we head into the New Year, Pennsylvania’s budget impasse continues. However, Governor Tom Wolf did authorize emergency education and human services funding to schools and organizations like Melmark. These funds allow providers to be paid for the services that have been delivered to the children and adults in our programs.

Locally, Representative Thomas Killion has announced his candidacy for the 9th Senatorial District seat recently vacated by Senator Dominic Pileggi; Senator Pileggi now serves as a judge on the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas. The 9th District includes a large part of both Chester and Delaware counties. A special election date has been set for April 26.

Also within the region, longtime Delaware County Representative William Adolph, Jr. has announced that he will not seek re-election and will retire this year after serving 14 terms in the Delaware County’s 165th Legislative District. He has been the Chair of the House Appropriations Committee since 2010. The 165th Legislative District includes parts of Radnor, Marple, and Springfield townships and the borough of Morton.

We are looking forward to welcoming U.S. Senator Robert Casey, Jr. to Melmark within the upcoming weeks. Additional details will follow when the planned visit has been scheduled and finalized. Michael Donovan

Manager of Operations and Strategic Initiatives

• Crews have filled the back basin with ten thousand tons of stone as they transform the area into a playing field.• Fire and water service are being extended along Loop Road, toward the back of Education and Adult Day.• Work on the retaining wall behind Adult Day will be complete in about three weeks.• Work on the Orchard Parking Lot should resume in a week or so. Crews hit rock, leading to minor delays.

Thank you to everyone for their cooperation during the site work construction. All campus improvements are designed to provide optimal safety to Melmark’s

Ballet, Art and MusicChildren and Adults Enjoy Art-Reach OpportunitiesOver the past several months, Melmark has renewed a longtime partnership with Art-Reach, a Philadelphia-based non-profit. Art-Reach provides opportunities to traditionally under served audiences to enjoy the arts. During the month of January, children and adults participated in three spectacular events, ranging from art-making classes at Philadelphia’s legendary Magic Gardens to dance rehearsals alongside members of the Pennsylvania Ballet. Below are photos highlighting these amazing opportunities.

Building Social Skills Beyond the ClassroomStudents Participate in MLK ProjectsStudents at The Melmark School participated in projects designed to commemorate MLK Day and to expand social skills beyond the classroom. The students created globes, representing their worlds and incorporated cotton ‘clouds’ to represent their hopes and dreams. The sessions were designed by the Speech and OT Departments and focused on teamwork and collaboration.
