Happy Holidays!

The staff, residents, and governing board wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We appreciate your support in 2006, and we look forward to having a great 2007. Over the past year, we've started our Equine-Assisted Counseling (EAC) program and have begun to raise money
for an equine center to offer the program year-round and in any weather.

We've also taken steps to streamline and improve data collection through our grant-funded Outcomes Coordination Project; this project builds on our accreditation through the Council on Accreditation for Children and
Family Services (COA) as we strive for continuous quality improvement.

In all we do, the bottom line of course is fulfilling our mission to provide therapeutic guidance for at-risk young men in a nurturing, Christian environment. Our individual, corporate, and foundation donors play a vital role in this process, as do the volunteers who help us in various ways. All of these individuals and organizations hold hands to
create a safety net for the boys in our care, and for that we are grateful.
