jumping into the deep end evanston/north shore 2009 annual report and emerging stronger, more resilient and empowered Dear Friends, I had dinner with a friend and former YWCA Board Member last summer, a woman in the middle of her life who had never learned to swim as a child. She was describing what it’s been like to conquer her fear of the water as an adult, and then her eyes grew wide and excited as she related what happened that morning. She summoned the mental and physical strength she had been developing through nearly a year of weekly lessons. She faced the fear that had flooded her body for years every time she was near water that was over her head. And she jumped, for the first time in her fifty-odd years of living, into the deep end of the pool. As she surfaced, she felt immensely empowered, knowing that she had just done something she never thought she’d be able to do. I was deeply moved by her courage, and gratified that she discovered the resources and support at the YWCA Evanston/North Shore that she needed to take that leap. In all of our programs and services, from nurturing young women as future leaders to supporting women and children through domestic violence counseling and intervention; from reaching out to all children in our community to learn to swim to encouraging people to face their own fears and prejudices; from giving low to moderate income women the financial foundation they need to become independent to helping teenagers recognize and build healthy relationships, we are a place of support. We provide the resources and tools needed, both literally and figuratively, to jump into the deep end and come to the surface stronger, more resilient, and empowered to take the next step towards healthy, safe and independent futures. Over the past year, we have faced funding cuts at the same time as we experienced an increased need for our services and, at times, we have found ourselves working hard to keep our heads above water. I believe that we have grown stronger for having gone through this challenge. Our staff has pulled together; our funders have come through with additional resources; our Board of Directors has been more determined than ever to build a strong foundation for our organization, and record numbers of people supported the Race Against Hate, attended the YWomen Leadership Awards and provided swim scholarships for underserved children in our community. The worst of times have a way of bringing out the best in people. We could not do it without you, and we thank you for helping provide the support that enables us and all of the people we serve to jump into the deep end and emerge stronger and more empowered.

Tzul Kate Uthe Agnes Walinski Jennifer Walsh Seth Weidmann Tina White Caroline Williams Michael Witt Anne Wolff m a k i n g i t h a p p e n why i give to the ywca g i v i n g b a c k Twenty years ago, while working for a bank in Lake County, I was looking for volunteer opportunities. The local YWCA was looking for board members and shortly thereafter, I joined its Board. It was, as they say, the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Since that time, I have been a member of the World Service Council of the YWCA, Board Member and Treasurer of the Great Lakes Alliance of the YWCA and, for the past ten years, Board Member and devoted supporter of the YWCA Evanston/North Shore. As a working woman who came of age during the peak of the women’s rights movement, I have always been drawn to the YWCA’s history as the oldest women’s membership movement in the world. Formed in 1855 by Lady Mary Jane Kinnaird and Emma Roberts in London, England, the YWCA was dedicated to the development of young women. The first YWCA in the United States was started in New York City in 1858, and early YWCAs provided safe haven for young women entering cities from farms. In 1894, the U.S., England, Sweden and Norway together created the World YWCA, which today is working in over 125 countries. The YWCA Evanston/North Shore’s rich history informs the programs and work it pursues daily. Many people are supporters of the YWCA Evanston/North Shore because of their involvement with a specific program. While I support the many endeavors of our local YWCA, my commitment also springs from my belief in the organization’s history and mission. Every time I watch young swimmers sharing their experiences at the pool, I know they are learning to swim in an inclusive, non-threatening environment. Every time a women enters the domestic violence shelter, I know she has entered a safe haven, where she will have the opportunity to grow and learn. Every time a woman completes her financial literacy curriculum, I know she has been afforded a chance to achieve economic independence. And each year, at the YWCA’s “Race Against Hate,” I see a community come together and surpass the smallness of its differences. The YWCA has never been a single event or location for me. The sum is greater than the parts. The YWCA Evanston/North Shore receives my support because, simply put, it makes my community, our community, a better place to live.
