Dear Friends,

Dear Fellow Parents and Friends, Welcome! For ten years now good folks like you have made A Matter of Taste an event of joy and giving.

We are delighted to welcome you this evening, as we celebrate our 10th Anniversary of A Matter of Taste. This much-anticipated event brings us new friends and has netted nearly $1 million for programs to serve children, teens and adults with developmental disabilities.

Behind the scenes, our wonderful committee led by Peter Herrero, Jr. and Elaine Masket have worked tirelessly to make this, our 10th A Matter of Taste, the best ever. Tonight we celebrate people and good citizens who are making a great difference in our community and our world—the Walker Family, the law firm of Boies, Schiller & Flexner and the Young Professionals of Arc of Westchester. They have generously supported our work to make the lives of many people better and they deserve our admiration and applause. I personally am in awe of their generosity and dedication. Arc of Westchester is dedicated to maintaining the excellence of our programs while expanding to meet increasing needs. We are also one of the few agencies addressing the lifelong needs – from birth through senior years – of the people we serve. We really do address needs along the entire Arc of a Life, the focus of a new funding campaign that will enable us to provide innovative supports for the next generation and beyond. Please stay tuned as we move ahead with this capital campaign. This evening, enjoy the food, the wine, and the camaraderie, but please also take the time to speak with our honorees and offer your personal thanks. Sincerely,

The funds we raise this evening help ensure that services such as early childhood education, guardianship, recreation, and job placement are financially sound, now and in the future. Thank you for being here this evening and for helping those who rely on our services to realize their dreams. As we approach the end of the year, we are thankful for the successes that we see every day at Arc of Westchester. Let’s continue to be as generous as we can be so that the people we serve can continue to cultivate their talents, make choices, achieve their goals, live enriched lives and serve their communities. Best regards, Sincerely,

Anthony Assalone President Arc of Westchester

Larry McNaughton President Arc of Westchester Foundation

The Young Professionals of Arc of Westchester

The Walker Family

The Young Professionals of Arc of Westchester (ages 20-35) serve as Arc of Westchester ambassadors, building awareness of our mission through business associates, family and their social circle, and raising much-needed funds for Arc of Westchester programs. The Committee’s work gives young professionals the opportunity to develop leadership skills in a philanthropic environment and to use their time, talents, and contacts to strengthen Arc of Westchester’s mission. Since its founding in 2008, the group has organized fundraising events, brainstormed marketing strategies, sponsored an art project and helped to build an investment portfolio. While The Young Professionals of Arc of Westchester group is both educational and social in nature, its true goal is to build leadership among this age group, working with people committed to the mission of creating opportunities and choices for children, young people and adults with developmental disabilities.

Arc of Westchester

The Walker family’s association with Arc of Westchester began 30 years ago when John and Susan’s daughter Elizabeth, graduated from high school special classes and was looking for a work program. Arc of Westchester provided Elizabeth with a series of ever more challenging work opportunities. She is now a dedicated employee at eDocNY, a member of the Customer Services Committee on which she served as Vice President, and a member of the Self Advocacy Group. Susan has served as a board member and on numerous committees and has been instrumental in shaping policies and developing funding that will guide and ensure Arc of Westchester programs in the future. The extended Walker family, including Liz’s two brothers, David and Will and their wives, has supported and encouraged Liz and her achievements. We are proud to honor them with this year’s Family Partner Award.

Business Partner

Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP

Benefit Co-Chairs Peter Herrero, Jr. Elaine Masket Auction Chair Lynda Schrier Wirth Wine and Beverage Sponsor Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits

Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP has been an employment partner with the Arc of Westchester since 2002, when they hired three Arc of Westchester program participants to work in their mailroom. Since that time, the number has increased to eight individuals who work as mail clerks, sorting and delivering all the mail and packages for the firm, and restocking supplies. These workers are supported by a full time Arc of Westchester coach and a Job Placement Specialist who visits them twice a month.

Committee Diane Anderson Adrienne J. Arkontaky Maria Brill Cynthia Ferguson Sheryl Frishman Lisa Graff Tibisay Guzman Fran Higgins Moira Kiernan Luguang Luan Jennifer Marron Larry McNaughton Rita Ross Laura Saggese Debbra Stolarik Anne Sweazey Ric Swierat Susan Walker

It takes teamwork to make great employment partners. Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP are ideal partners, very supportive of our program participants and committed to open communications. Since this relationship began, all the employees of the firm have made us feel welcome and shown compassion and respect to our workers. At break time, our program participants have their lunch in an employee lunch room. This is an opportunity to socialize and get to know their fellow workers. Feeling a sense of inclusion is important to many of our program participants, and that feeling is encouraged at the firm. We have valued our relationship over the years with Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP, and we appreciate their continued support in giving employment opportunities to the individuals in our program. 6

We are pleased to announce that Arc of Westchester has successfully completed the rigorous Standards for Excellence Institute’s certification program. The Standards for Excellence Ethics Standards Committee approved our application for certification after review by a committee and a team of trained peer reviewers.

Dear Friend, Thank you for attending the 10th Anniversary of A Matter of Taste. We hope you had a great time and that you have come away inspired by the achievements of the people served by Arc of Westchester.

We are committed to upholding the principles and practices of strong nonprofit management and governance and adhering to the nonprofit governance and management performance indicators outlined in the Standards for Excellence code, including: • A clear mission with aligned programs and services; • Policies that protect program participants; • Strong program evaluation; • Clear expectations for board members; • A board-approved conflict of interest policy that covers all board, staff and volunteers who have significant decision-making authority; • Performance management for staff and volunteers of the organization; • Strong financial oversight practices and internal controls in place; and • A strong advocacy effort on behalf of those we serve. Arc of Westchester is the first organization in New York State to be awarded the Standards for Excellence seal. That means you can be assured that Arc of Westchester will be responsible stewards of funds raised for A Matter of Taste.

We know that you care about all the young children, adolescents, adults and senior citizens who struggle every day with the constant challenges of having developmental disabilities, and the enormous impact that autism, Down syndrome and other disorders can have on the daily lives of their loving and supporting families. For more than 65 years, Arc of Westchester has dedicated itself to making a difference in the lives of thousands of individuals and families. Yet as the population we serve continues to increase ever more rapidly, the amount of government support received has decreased significantly. Arc of Westchester is responding to these challenges with an exciting and important campaign that will help those in our Westchester communities who are among the most vulnerable. Our campaign for The Arc of a Life will raise funds to support innovative programs that will enable Arc of Westchester to maintain and grow services that are so desperately needed now and will be needed even more in the future. The Campaign Committee has developed a case statement of needs and very soon we will be going out to members of the community. We hope that you will consider lending your support to this critical initiative. We are confident that your gift will be used effectively, and are proud to announce that Arc of Westchester has been recognized as the very first charitable organization in New York State to be awarded a “Standards of Excellence” certification for upholding the principles and practices of strong non-profit management and governance. We are honored to serve as Co-Chairs of this campaign and look forward to talking with you about The Arc of a Life. Again, thank you for supporting Arc of Westchester. Sincerely,
