LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Friends,
W
HEN CONSIDERING the “Power
of Possibility,” significant potential for
future development of our organization and
accomplishments for our clients can be
identified. We are fortunate as an organization
to be positioned to take advantage of many
of these opportunities.
Earlier this year our organization successfully completed a capital campaign,
the theme of which was “Inspiring Possibilities, Realizing Dreams.” As a result
of the hard work and effort of the Campaign Steering Committee, staff members
and many other volunteers, as well as the amazing support of our donors, we
were successful. We are grateful to everyone who participated in accomplishing
this goal and ultimately set the stage for us to focus on the “Power of Possibility”
for Laura Baker Services Association. This achievement will enable us to create
living spaces that will be a true home for each of our clients and will focus energy
on our mission to respect the life choices and dreams of people with developmental
disabilities and help them reach their goals.
Capable and visionary leadership of our Executive Director, Sandi Gerdes,
and her team, allowed us to identify possibilities with our expanding Family
Support Services. Through this service we meet social and developmental needs
of participants while providing a few hours of respite for their parents and
caregivers. The need for this type of programming is expansive and we strive
to continue to develop creative ways to provide this opportunity to meet the
community need. Many volunteer opportunities are available and each of you
is encouraged to explore how you can help.
Once again we are grateful for the continued support of the community that
enhances our efforts and opens the door of opportunity for the clients we serve.
The life stories, dreams, and successes of our clients are motivating to all of us. The
possibilities for our clients are endless and being a part of the team that encourages
and supports them as they work to achieve their goals is extremely rewarding.
Throughout the year, the talented and dedicated staff at Laura Baker commits
themselves to finding possibilities for each of our clients. We are appreciative of
their continued passion and service.
Finally, please take a few moments and page through this annual report. I am
confident that you too will see the abundant possibilities as we work together to
achieve our mission.
Cordially,
Cheryl Buck

What I Might Be
Every time you show someone how to grow
Help them come to know their life’s a miracle, then they will
have the hope to say, dreams come true some day
They will find a way, I feel it happening, so I sing...
Of all the things I’d like to be outside this room
of races run, of mountains climbed.
You give me hope to be the person I can be
You open doors that free my mind.

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
A
BLANK PAGE. So often I wish for the simplicity of
white space, waiting to be filled. An organization that
has been in existence for 114 years carries both blessing and
curse. The rich traditions and history of the organization, the
innovative spirit of its founder, Laura Baker, and all those who followed in her
footsteps, the traditions, our places in the communities in which we operate, all are
a blessing. And a curse. Or if not a curse, a conundrum.
Massive change is afoot in every sector of social services. The recession increases
the need. Combined with the relentless pressure to decrease spending, governors are
scrambling to reduce the dollars spent on supporting people at all levels and in all
kinds of programs.
As Americans, perhaps as Westerners, we seem to believe that there’s a magic
solution for everything, and that those solutions will come with the snap of our
fingers or nod of our head. I am here to say, “There’s no magic.” There’s a lot of hard
work, which bears fruit with time and patience, both of which seem to be in short
supply these days.
Change would be easier if we had a blank page, if we didn’t have to figure out how
to accommodate all those people who are already a part of the system. Change would
2
be easy if we could simply say “Make it so,” everyone agreed that the change was
good, and worked to make it so. In my rich fantasy life, such a place and time exists.
And it is good. Unfortunately, it is just that: a fantasy.
Here in the real world, we are forging ahead with making changes to our physical
plant at 211 Oak Street (creating homes for people), hoping that our crystal ball hasn’t
gone cloudy. We have raised dollars to make those physical plant changes reality, and
to provide family support services. We are developing respite services for families,
and creating supports for families
that help them manage their lives
and the system changes. We
are creating an organizational
learning culture, having learning
fairs which highlight our talented
and knowledgeable staff members.
We are creating community:
building a choir of LBSA clients
and community members,
reaching out to our neighbors.
We are recreating our governance
structure at the Board level. We
are creating budgets that tell our story. We are investigating collaborations that best
use our resources and still provide the exceptional support we promise. We are
defining what we do that is mission critical, high impact… and what is not.
Trying to navigate these changes, while maintaining and improving quality for
the people we are currently supporting is a little like driving California Hwy 128 from
the US Hwy 1 south of Mendocino to various places in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys.
Hairpin turns, towering trees on either side of the road, and, on one particular drive,
a loaded logging semi behind who wanted me OUT OF HIS WAY. I was driving 70,
and he wanted to go faster. The constant pressure of paying attention to the next
bend in the road, the position of the trees, and the truck on your rear end (literally:
all I could see was his grill), while also looking for a spot to pull over, where you have
enough time to slow and stop without being rear-ended… It felt like it took an hour to
find a pullover spot wide enough for me to get out of his way and not hit a tree in the
process. Once the pressure of the semi was gone, I loved the drive: it felt like I was
driving the front car of roller coaster ride. I long to take that drive again, without the
pressure of the semi. And so it is with change in our industry, in our services. We’re
barreling ahead, trying to proceed with both passion and caution. Our mission, our
vision, and our values haven’t changed. We still want to support people in the community
as they want. We still want to be an integral thread in the fabric of community. We count
on each of you to be an extra set of eyes and ears, to reflect the voices of the many.

thank you!
TEVE KELLY just retired from the LBSA Board of Trustees, after
eight years of faithful service. The Robert Bonner Distinguished
Service Award is given to those who have been associated with LBSA
and have shown constancy in their relationship with the Association
over time. Steve is known for the passion he feels about our services. He
served because he understood the need, based on watching the struggles
of some close family friends. He was an enthusiastic golf player for our
tournaments and could always be counted among the Gala crowd as
well. As a professor of music, he found an affinity for our music therapy
program and found ways to support that with his own music and contacts.
He used his background in finance and development from his time at
Carleton to advance our cause to the best of his ability. He has been a
passionate advocate for appropriately supporting staff members, who
do so much for so little. He leaves a formidable legacy of service behind,
and we will miss him.

Spirit of Laura Baker Award Recipient 2011
D
O YOU REMEMBER what you
were doing at age 21? Will Oney
was busy earning the Spirit of Laura
Baker Award. While it might seem
surprising that such a young man would
receive such an honor, Will is thoughtful and mature beyond his years. Recipients are nominated by their peers, and selected by a
committee. The award is presented at the annual Employee Appreciation banquet in April.
Three and a half years ago, Will was a student in search of fulfillment. He had transferred
to a local charter school because he found the traditional high school was not tailored
enough to individual learning. His main interests are history and writing. He had a friend
that worked here and thought the work “sounded fulfilling.”
He says the biggest surprise about working here is “how attached you get to the people
and the clients you work with. It really becomes a home away from home.” Will is now a
Lead Residential Counselor, which means he is in charge of the schedules, wardrobes
and quarterly reports of two clients on his household. He says he appreciates how LBSA
encourages clients to participate as much as possible in their lives: “Even if it takes someone
a really long time to pour their own milk, we want them to do it, instead of us,” he offers.
His favorite story is the time he taught Bill how to ride a bike for the first time. Bill had
seen another client riding a 3-wheel bike and was curious. Will coaxed him into trying,
and then talked him through it. “You could tell he was really proud—a whole crowd was
watching, and he was ringing the bell, making noises and generally showing off.”
Will also enjoys finding ways to communicate with those who have limited verbal ability.
“Tone and facial expression can be very expressive for someone with so few words,” he says.
For a while after he started working here, he held another job at a facility similar to
LBSA. He describes the experience: “I eventually had to leave because their philosophy of
care had staff members ‘waiting’ on people and not expecting them to do things as much
as possible for themselves. They also had a set behavioral plan that everyone had to follow,
no matter what, which created many adverse behavior issues. I ended up leaving, because
it was too hard to work there.”
When asked what he would say to someone thinking about donating to LBSA, he
replied, “I think with so many charities, it’s abstract and unspecific. Here, you are giving
right to the people who live here and you can come see what the needs are.” He thinks the
best thing about building the two new cottages will be a “decrease in target behaviors.
People here are too crowded. Plus, we will enjoy a better climate-controlled environment.
Some of our clients are heat-sensitive.”
We are happy with the difference Will makes every day, and we salute him!

Donor Profile
A story of giving,
from son to father
D
AN FORSYTHE was in high
school in the 90s, looking for a job
when he discovered LBSA. It paid a little
better than the average job available to
teens, and he thought it would be more
interesting. His dad, John, wasn’t so sure.
Dan’s assignment landed him in a
household that was home to several
people with Prader-Willi syndrome. PWS is developmental
disorder characterized by an insatiable appetite with no
internal signals for being full. People with PWS can be
quite charming and manipulative in their efforts to find food, so
staffing has its special challenges.
One evening a client snuck into the kitchen and devoured
nine loaves of bread before Dan discovered him. In the ensuing
struggle to end the binge, Dan got scratched and bit. When he
came home, his dad, John, noticed his wounds and was concerned.
“I asked Dan why he stayed working there, a place where he could get hurt,” John says.
“And you know what he said? He said ‘Dad, when I looked in his eyes, I felt sorry for him,
because I could see he was hurting too.’”
That got John’s attention. “Instead of wondering what kind of place my son worked at,
it made me wonder at the depth of humanity in my son,” he says. “That led me to ask him
more about his work and hear the stories of the people he served.”
From that point on, John got involved. He began making gifts to the Association. He
began to serve on the golf tournament committee. That became a yearly commitment, as
well as attending the annual Gala fundraiser with friends. Last year, John was surprised
to receive the “Realizing Dreams” award given by the golf committee for his years of
dedication. To this day, he says he is inspired by the hard work our staff perform.
Dan went on to work at LBSA through high school. In college, he managed a group
home and considered making it his career. He ended up as an operations manager for
a major trucking firm in New Ulm instead. Recently, he and his dad were reminiscing
about how their lives have turned out, and John asked Dan if he had any regrets about
the career choice he made 30 years ago. Dan replied: “Dad, I learned how to love work at
Laura Baker. I’ve carried that with me my whole life.”

Volunteer Spotlight — Good Neighbor Award
Each year, we are asked to nominate volunteers for the Good Neighbor Award
sponsored by Provider’s Network, one of the many organizations of which we are
members. Here are recipients for 2011:
Laurie is a longtime volunteer who has put in many,
many, behind-the-scenes hours for our Gala fundraiser
for years. She has chaired this event, recruited
volunteers, tirelessly promoted it amongst her friends,
and procured hundreds of auction items. She has
chaired meetings, designed auction displays, hosted
tables, helped set and clean up many times. Laurie’s
efforts have contributed to hundreds of thousands
of revenue dollars for our organization’s daily operations budget. What is perhaps most
remarkable is that Laurie had no particular connection or affiliation to us at first. She
served to support her husband Bill, who began his Board tenure in the same way — serving
because he was asked to. We are humbled and blessed by her efforts on our behalf, and wish
to acknowledge the gift of her time and talents. It takes a special skill set to accomplish all
that Laurie does, and we are thrilled that she lent herself to us for as long as she did. Laurie
set the bar high for all the volunteers to follow, and for that we salute her and say “Many
thanks, great friend.”
Kirk is the kind of guy that sees a need and
rises to the occasion. Once during a stroll
around his neighborhood many years ago,
he met Lee, a client in one of our supported
living homes. The acquaintance became
a friendship, and the friendship became a
guardianship years later. Kirk has expanded
his circle of friends to include the entire
household, including staff. He comes to
dinner and birthday parties. He takes Lee
to church every week, and has lunch with
him whenever possible. An avid bicyclist, Kirk has repaired many bikes for the household,
enabling clients and staff to take advantage of that form of recreation. Kirk is literally a
GREAT neighbor, and we are indebted to his spirit of service and compassion.

Program Review
A real-life story of fam
D
AY TO DAY LIFE can be very hard work for a single mother raising three children,
especially when two have disabilities. But with the help of Laura Baker Services, Amy
is finding a way to raise three wonderful children.
Once a month, she drops off, Anna, Julianne, and Joey at Laura Baker Services for a
fun respite event, then takes a couple hours to catch up on chores, paperwork, errands,
and, if she’s lucky, a little bit of self-care. During that time, the three children make crafts,
play games, and hang with their new friends. Anna (9) especially is a careful, meticulous,
and talented craft maker. Julianne (5) excels in group
games, bringing energy and enthusiasm to each
activity. Volunteers engage bright-eyed Joey (3) in
physically active games, like throwing a ball, as well
as more quiet activities like exploring the piano. The
kids all practice cooperation, including others and
following directions. They spend two hours playing,
laughing, learning, and growing, while their mom
gets some much needed time to catch up.
Amy, who has no support circles or family living
in town, does everything she can to provide for
her family. Often that means setting her own
Amy says that normally she would not leave her children
at a daycare, but she knows that everyone at Laura Baker
is comfortable with all kinds of children and gives her

needs aside. When she knows that her children are in a safe place and having fun, she can
take a moment to breathe. Having a quiet atmosphere in which to complete chores is a
relief. Amy says that normally she would not leave her children at a daycare, but she knows
that everyone at Laura Baker is comfortable with all kinds of children and gives her kids the

Family Support
I
N NORTHFIELD there are invisible families who need our help. These families are a
part of our community and might even live in our neighborhoods. Most people will not
notice if these families aren’t within their immediate circles. These are the families who
have children with developmental disabilities, the ones you might see at the grocery store or
at school. Maybe you’ve seen the child experiencing some difficulty and having what seems
to you to be an overreaction. You’ve probably passed judgment on the parents—we all have.
Imagine being a parent to 1 or 2 or even 3 kids who have developmental disabilities.
Imagine that you have no immediate family or friends or supports such as county-funded
assistance in the task of raising those children. Sometimes you try to accept help, but you
soon end up doing it all—all of the time. Because it’s easier that way. Because it’s hard to
We see a brighter future for a community that is
more integrated, connected and caring.
pass on that responsibility or to feel secure in doing so. Because it’s hard finding consistent
support that fully addresses the needs of both your children and yourself. You need to be
reassured that people aren’t trying to take your children away. You’ve gone without support
for so long that it’s hard to connect with any supports that might possibly be out there.
We know there are families in
the community who need help.
Laura Baker Services Association
is reconnecting the community
with these families. We believe
that there is a large population
of potential volunteers who could
be matched with families to
provide regularly scheduled
respite services.
This support, such as in-home
or out-of-home care or even meal
assistance, is meant to give parents a break. It also gives parents time to attend to needs
that otherwise go unmet. Most importantly, it gives parents an opportunity to focus on
their own well-being, which is a crucial part of the well-being of the family.
This year has seen slow but steady traction in our Family Support Services program.
Our monthly respite events for children enjoy an enthusiastic following of both children
and volunteers. Three of our families have agreed to help us design circles of support
where we pair them with trained volunteers to provide in-home supports.
Volunteers report that the reward of getting to know these families outweighs any
amount of effort that they are putting forth. We see a brighter future for a community
that is more integrated, connected and caring.
