Back Cover What a wonderful day of music, fun, food and fellowship we had Sunday, December 8th, 2013 with the No Shame Band once again returning to the ACH gym for another private concert. Festivities began at 2pm lasting until 4pm; pizza, dancing, fun and games and a fantastic gift from the band of a professional grade Karaoke Machine, CD’s and Flatscreen T.V. Such special friends! Immediately followed by Russ, Kat and Craig rushing Uptown Lexington to High Rock Outfitters where another concert was preparing to “crank-up”. Davis Tucker and Shannon Gregg hosted the Premier Benefit Concert in memory of their son, Joey Tucker, a local musician/ songwriter. The evening included numerous local musicians taking to the stage and performing tunes and even some of Joey’s own favorites. The sales from Joey’s newly released CD helped in raising money for the benefit of ACH and will continue to bring in financial support to ACH in his memory until all CD’s are sold! The entire day truly expressed how special the community is in support to American Children’s Home! > (To purchase Joey’s CD, “Tracks I Left Behind”, please visit davistucker.com) American Children’s Home >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Letter from the President: Two of life’s challenges are embracing and managing change. Although often closely related, each of these challenges can sometimes require a very different skill set in order to reach a resolution. Recently the staff at the American Children’s Home has had to and continues to embrace and manage a variety of changes within our agency. As many of you know, the American Children’ Home lost one of its own late last year. Gene Duckworth passed away on September 20, 2013. Gene served in the role of Vice President of Business Affairs for over 26 years. His dedication and service are now part of the fabric that has sustained this organization since it opened in 1924. Later in 2013, Joan Wood retired after 32 years of employment at the Home. Joan was an administrative assistant in the Development Department and penned countless letters and thank you cards during her tenure. Gene Duckworth’s legacy and Joan Wood’s work will be missed by all of us. The reality of these events forced many of us to navigate the complexities of change. Some of the changes were a result of present staff members moving into different roles. These changes required those individuals to view the organization from an entirely new perspective. Some additional changes occurred when folks from other agencies filled vacancies caused by the internal shifts of responsibility. These individuals not only had to adjust to a new work environment and learn the history of the agency, they also had to discover and develop their place in the success of our future. As a point of personal perspective, I could not be more proud of these individuals and of their progress. These and other related changes caused us all to take a closer look at ourselves, our responsibilities and our purpose. The end result of this time of reflection and transformation was a reaffirmation that our mission to serve children is a worthwhile endeavor and therefore we are more resolved to deliver our services at a higher level. Also, as part of this process, we were reminded and became very mindful of the great partners that support us in this mission. We gained a deeper appreciation for the partners that were and are here to help us manage change. We became more cognizant and thankful for the partners who send messages of encouragement to us. And, we are more indebted to the partners who give so generously of their resources to ensure that these young people are given an opportunity to succeed in life. We all realize that change is not always welcomed, but in our latest experience it has been made more manageable by folks like you. I speak for all of the staff when I say that we are humbled by your support and honored that you would allow us to carry out this most important work.

The American Children’s Home is actively recruiting potential foster parents for our traditional foster care program. We are seeking prospective foster parents from Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Randolph, and Rowan counties. There is a great need for foster parents due to the growing number of referrals for placements in foster care. Referrals for placements in foster homes come from county Department of Social Services (DSS) agencies across the state and can be for boys or girls ages birth through eighteen. Prospective foster parents participate in thirty hours 10 of pre-service training, CPR and First Aid training, complete background checks, and a Mutual Home Assessment. Foster Care Social Workers Allan Bouchard and Julie Evans will host an Informational Meeting on Thursday, May 29, 2014 at 6:00 PM at American Children’s Home. If you or someone you know has an interest in opening your heart and your home to a child or children in need, please contact a Foster Care Social Worker at 336-357-7126.

Special thanks go to Lexington Council #21 – JOUAM for hosting rest stops along the course, Don Juan’s Mexican Restaurant for providing lunch for the Riders and volunteers. Walmart of Lexington and Walmart #2472 of Winston-Salem were the Rest Stop Sponsors. We’re also grateful again for Davidson County Sheriff’s Office for providing traffic control and Southmont VFD for serving Rest Stops Sites. For the fifth year, Team ACH rode their bikes across North Carolina over a seven day period in rain, wind and sunshine! From the Mountains to the Coast! Riding approximately 70 miles daily, the team covered over 500 miles, camped in tents overnight while raising awareness and money for American Children’s Home. This year the team raised over $12,000 to provide support for capital improvements. Each member seeks sponsorships from friends, family members, local businesses and organizations to raise funds which help with renovations of the cottages that are “Home” to our kids. WAYS TO GIVE Your contributions have provided a safe and loving home and nurturing care to children for over 85 years. Help ensure that ACH is always here to provide a home for those whose own homes are no longer safe nor loving. You can mail us a check. Send it to American Children’s Home, P.O. Box 1288, Lexington, NC 27293-1288. If you wish to make a gift in honor or in memory of a loved one, please let us know whom to notify. You can gift to us highly appreciated stock through your Stock Broker. You may find you avoid high capital gains taxes through this type giving. Many people have paid up life insurance policies which are no longer needed for the initial beneficiary. You can list us as a beneficiary to a life insurance policy. List “American Children’s Home” as a charitable beneficiary. Make a Legacy Gift – Legacy gifts ensure that the American Children’s Home will continue for many years. You don’t need a large estate to make a legacy gift. Many people of normal means are able to designate a portion of their estate for a loved charity. Your Will would name the “American Children’s Home” as the beneficiary. 11 American Children’s Home >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Parks Easter / Ken Sailer 7th Annual Memorial Golf Tournament The Parks Easter / Ken Sailer Memorial Golf Tournament hosted by Ken Easter was once again a fun and meaningful event.

Samantha will be graduating June 14th from Central Davidson High School. She is our longest running resident who has seen quite a few changes happen here at ACH. Samantha has always been easy to make friends she has made many from school and right here at American Children’s Home. We are so proud of the accomplishments Samantha has made over the past 5 years. As the time draws near for her graduation, plans are being made to continue her education that will pave the pathway for success. Samantha’s desire is to begin her studies in the field of nursing and then continuing that journey by studying medicine to become a family physician. Well done!
