A Legacy of Caring
Caring Hearts Enhance Life at Kurn Hattin Caring is an essential piece of Kurn Hattin’s DNA. Over the last fifteen years one of the common threads I have experienced is the partnership of caring staff, volunteers and donors involved at Kurn Hattin. This collection of giving individuals makes Kurn Hattin work! We continue to be blessed with a staff who embody our mission from the heart. Often going beyond their regular hours or duties to ensure our children receive a home-like environment; the parental love and guidance they demonstrate exceeds a written job description. Volunteers consistently give their time, talent, skills, expertise and energy to enhance our children’s lives. Whether it is tutoring in school, chaperoning the ski program, mentoring or helping during a summer camping trip, our volunteers not only help with staffing, but often become positive role models. Donors make heartfelt sacrifices to afford us with the financial support we need to facilitate the programs we provide. As we prepare for the challenges ahead, and the hundreds of children who will need our assistance, I am confident that caring hearts, hands and minds will sustain us not only in the short term, but for another 100 years. I look forward to the future with great optimism. Thomas G. Fahner, Deputy Director
The Sun The sun is shining; It’s a glorious light. Happy and smiling, Day and night. I am the sun, But only here At this school. I cry no tears. It’s a good place. Friendly and fun. And, when I’m here, I am the sun. -Zoey, Grade 7

Home Is Where The Heart Is From my vantage point as the Executive Director to trustee to Board president, I had a vast panorama of the dual development of Kurn Hattin and the progress of an individual destined to become the premier Executive Director of a venerable residential program, a man for others to emulate. For the first three years as a teacher, Chris Barry lived on campus, looking beyond the classroom and acquiring a total grounding to “Kurn Hattin: the place we call Home.” He joined us directly upon graduation from Windham College. When not in the classroom, he frequently assimilated Kurn Hattin life by experiencing life in a residential cottage as an evening substitute houseparent or sharing his many athletic talents in a coaching capacity. His ambition to broaden his academic intellect led to the pursuit of a master’s degree at Keene State College. He was a born voracious reader and devoted a great deal of time to widen his professional growth in a variety of allied fields to arm himself to ultimately master subjects such as business, finance, personal relations, water supply, management and energy conservation. In my judgment his greatest strength was in personal relations, not only with the staff, but also in developing and molding the character of the youth in Kurn Hattin’s care. His analysis of challenges for Kurn Hattin facilitated the matching of the correct personal skills of individuals with the tasks to be done. Blending the assets of the staff with the needs of Kurn Hattin youth was a common and evident goal. Chris the visionary, the tuned-in observer, was always preparing for the future and providing a model for others. When he retires after a combined 39 years of dedicated service to Kurn Hattin, he will leave behind a legacy of caring. David J. Maysilles, President, Class of 1943 3
“It was a very emotional time when I left teaching, the boys bought me a hunting vest and the girls baked me a cake.” ~CHRISTOPHER BARRY

Barry Executive Director
Kurn Hattin Homes Sets A Course For The Future Since 1894, loyal friends and supporters have given generously to sustain the services for children that Kurn Hattin is known for throughout New England, indeed, throughout the country. Kurn Hattin is blessed with dedicated staff, a visionary Board of Trustees, and donors and alumni who take to heart the mission to help children in need. In 2011, Kurn Hattin set upon a course to address factors affecting the future of our program which will strengthen existing services, introduce new initiatives and address the challenges facing all non-profits in today’s new economy. Our combined efforts will ensure that a legacy of caring is available to future generations of children who will need our help. Sound stewardship of resources applies to wise use of gifts made by donors, and wise use of the beautiful land upon which Kurn Hattin sits. Ever mindful of sound stewardship, Kurn Hattin will revitalize the farm, bringing back crops and animals to provide sustenance for those in our care, as well as a venue for learning to care for the land while providing an educational and experiential opportunity for children. Just as seeds are planted in the fields, we will also plant the seeds needed to sustain Kurn Hattin into the next century. Mindful of escalating operating costs, Kurn Hattin will examine all areas of operation for efficiency and streamlining. We will refine and enhance practices to conserve energy and resources campus-wide. New initiatives will be explored which will enhance income. Dependent on private support, which provides over 90% of our operating budget, Kurn Hattin will seek new sources of revenue to reduce its dependence on endowment principal to fund operations. Generous donations to our endowment fund will be invested with oversight provided by an independent committee charged with enhancing performance of our assets. Thank you for your dedication and for the support you provide both today and in the years to come, which is the cornerstone of our work. 5
“I feel a special and personal responsibility to future generations of children. Past and continued efforts of friends, like you, will enable us to meet the needs of tomorrow’s families.” ~CHRISTOPHER BARRY

Dedicated Supporters Step Up In Uncertain Times As an organization caring for one of the most vulnerable segments of our population, the nation’s children, Kurn Hattin Homes relies on friends and supporters to provide the resources needed to uphold the legacy of our founder, Reverend Charles Albert Dickinson. In these uncertain times, pressure on fragile families is greater than ever, and our services in even higher demand. Contributions in the year ended June 30, 2011 were nearly triple our goal of $365,250, closing the year at over $1.3 million, with charitable gift annuities continuing to be an attractive option for donors who wish to receive a life income while helping a favorite charity. Investing in Kurn Hattin’s children and in the future of the Homes remain key motivators for our donors. In Kurn Hattin they see an opportunity to make a real difference in helping others. “I know what the need is”, a donor said on the phone recently, “and I know that when I give to Kurn Hattin that kids get a chance, a real chance. I know where my money is going.” Choosing which charity to support and how much to give are considerations on the minds of many donors. Recognizing that our donors have chosen us is humbling, and gratifying. We deeply appreciate the faith shown by our donors in this act of choosing Kurn Hattin. What does your gift actually accomplish? It gives a loving home staffed by devoted caregivers to young children whose families need help during a troubled time. Your gift educates, feeds, clothes, provides medical and counseling support, and provides recreational activities. On a working farm, your gift allows children to learn the fundamentals of tilling, planting and caring for crops and animals. Your gift gives children and families hope for a brighter tomorrow. The generosity shown to Kurn Hattin by so many is at the heart of our mission to serve children. As we embark on new paths, we reflect with gratitude and thank all who join in our work and encourage us by contributing to the programs and services designed to help boys and girls succeed. Connie Sanderson, Director of Development and Public Relations 7
