“There is a great sense of cohesiveness with all of the staff in one place. There is also a feeling of professionalism that
pervades the agency,” said Ann Polunsky, Florence Crittenton’s Grant Writer.
Additionally, building signage and donor dedications will be mounted to the new buildings in March. One such dedication, is
nearly complete, and can be seen when you enter the dining room, newly named Café Elizabeth, formerly known as the dining
room or cafeteria. Artist Lori Frisbie painted the colorful mural, which shows a lively café scene along a bustling town street.
Donor Recognition Goes Modern, Artistic
New Address

For more than three months now, a company appropriately named
Thinking Caps has been creating the much-anticipated donor recognition
for the Building New Beginnings Campaign. The days of boring plaques
are over and the days of artwork are here for recognition pieces.
Only small details can be revealed of these rooted figures, these five, six
and seven foot wonders that capture the true meaning of what it means
to give your support and your heart.They glisten and tower and though
cold to the touch are warm with color.
They gave me a little party
And helped to see me through
They knew that I would need it
So I’d feel special too
“We are so pleased to be able to honor our campaign donors and friends
this way. It’s such a beautiful piece of art that truly signifies the meaning
of each gift,” said Carrie Walker-Ostroski, Florence Crittenton’s

And I have earned their trust

Development Director.
Sure, it’s sometimes hard
To be away from home
But thanks to Florence Crittenton

AA New Look forem
Florence Crittenton!
After more than six months of research and planning, Florence Crittenton
is shedding its old skin. Esser Design, a local graphic design firm, has
created a new brand for Florence Crittenton, which includes a new
logo, new tag-line, new font and new colors.
“Hope, Safety, Opportunity and
Community are words that have
always reflected the image of
Florence Crittenton. And now
with the new look and image,
they are brought to life.”
- Linda Volhein
The new logo represents growth, success and nurturing and is highlighted by rich tones of green, teal and a purple-blue. The new tag line,
Where Hope Comes to Life, fittingly describes a sort of blossoming that
develops into the gift of opportunity.
This exciting change is being implemented in phases, beginning with a
new business system, which includes letterhead, thank you cards etc. The
next phase will include building signage, followed by event materials such
as invitations and finally the website, new brochures and this newsletter.

Every year, Strebe is assisted

“If I wasn’t here at Florence Crittenton, I wouldn’t be doing this. The last ten years
have been a project of the heart. I hope I can walk away knowing it was successful.”
F
or more than 16 years,
Linda Volhein, Executive
Director of Florence Crittenton,
has been driving the agency to
reach a new level and a new
standard. Her leadership has taken
the agency from nearly closing its
doors in 1993, to celebrating its
100-year-mark, to unveiling a
state-of-the art campus in 2003.
In an interview in January,Volhein
revealed what she feels has made
it one of the most successful
agencies in the Valley.

achievement?
A.
Surviving and thriving in changing
times. It’s a tough job, but we’ve been
here for more than 106 years.
Typically, older organizations are the
most vulnerable because they don’t
think outside of the box.
Q.
In the last 16 years,
what is your most
memorable moment?
What makes Florence
Q.
A.
Crittenton unique when
compared to other similar
non-profits?
A.
We have always had consistent leadership and stability. We have had a vision and
have driven it relentlessly. You just can’t quit
on that vision. I think our niche with only girls
has also been a valuable component of what
makes Florence Crittenton unique.
When a girl leaves Florence
Crittenton, I typically sit down with her and
talk about her future and what she has
learned at our agency. Once, a girl told
me I changed her life. That meant a lot
and I’ll never forget it. Florence Crittenton
saved her life and a young girl realized
she is important and valuable. Those
experiences are what keep me here.
Q. When you became
Q.
How do you explain the Executive Director in 1993,

Crittenton is experiencing?

This year’s Auxiliary Holiday Party was held on Friday,
December 20 and welcomed nearly 100 guests. The
festive evening was once again coordinated by Auxiliary
member, V’Esser McDonald and included a holiday
feast, holiday carols and gifts for all of the attending
children and Florence Crittenton girls.

I think in the last 12 months,
Florence Crittenton has really “arrived,”
and the driving factors behind that are
innovation, quality, passionate people, strong
business practices and an accountability
to the community and our clients.
What do you think the
Q.
future holds for Florence
Crittenton?
A.
I really believe that our agency is
going to be the model for the way a nonprofit is run. Our leadership will be the
standard, as well as our constant vision for
growth and trying new things. It is important
to look at trends and see the future of
non-profits.

For ten years, the vision of

Since January, the Board of Directors has been focusing
on the growth of the agency, with its new and expanded

charter school. In order to support these needs, the board
has been actively pursuing new friends and supporters
through the Charles Crittenton Society and several
spring events, including the Grand Opening.
