DILLON WINSHIP, JR. �1965 Operating- Ixpendimres -1, 10, 26G.1G Sheltering Arms provides facilities for protective care, guidance and training during the day for children-primarily of working mothers of low income. These may be extended following investigation to those having special needs. Sheltering Arms is open Mondays through Fridays 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Nursery provides care for boys 2½ to 10 years of age and for girls 2 ½ to 12 years of age. The fee for day care at Sheltering Arms is based on individual family income. Each family pays according to a fee attainable within financial limits. Most choose to be as self-sustaining as possible. The Social Worker assists the family in determining whether we are the appropriate agency to meet their child care needs and in setting a realistic fee for service. �Sheltering Arms operates year round with a staff of director, social worker, educational consultant, two center supervisors, sixteen teachers and assistants, a secretary-bookkeeper, two part-time pediatricians and five maintenance personnel. D uring the summer supply teachers are added to st aff. M ISS MARGARET L . COLBERT . . . . . . . . . . Executive MRS. LOIS HANCOCK .. . ... ...... . Educati onal Consultant MRS.

Secretary-Bookkeeper �Presidents 1?..eporf- -19G5-1966 Dear Members: How could a year be so short and yet so full of problems and pleasures for Sheltering Arms Association . If it were not for t he interest and support of each of you my job would have been an ard uous one. This you recall was the year in which we faced an operating defici t . However, friends came to our assistance and we will be able to maintain our services of the highest quality because of t heir generosity. We have 6,500 hours of volunteer service from yout h groups, garden clubs, civic clubs and our own members. They provided an enriched program for our boys and girls throughout the year. The committees all did their jobs as assigned and I am indeed grateful to each chairman for the work which you did to keep t he agency operating at top efficiency. It would seem appropriate to mention a few highlights even though each committee could not be included in my brief report. The Personnel Committee had a particularly busy year in assisting the Executive Director in replacing eight key positions. In each case we felt that we secured very well qualified persons to fill the vacancies. The salary scales have been improved each time t he budget has been presented to the Chest. �The Building and Grounds Committee has spent time, talent and funds on repairs and redecoration of Osgood Sanders Center and Play Equipment needs were met at Dorothy Arkwright Center. The Wayside Garden Club, Magnolia Garden Club and the Atlanta Junior League have made substantial contributions for capital expenditures. Social Work Advisory Committee assisted our new Social Worker in orientation to the agency. They set up procedures for an annual review of each client to set fees for service. We are most careful to adhere to health and sanitation regulat ions and to serve adequate, well balanced meals which our Nutrition Committee r.ecommends. Our clinics are operated by qualified Pediatricians and the Medical Committee carries out their suggestions. The Finance Committee built and structured the operating budget for providing service to the 350 different children in our care last year . This was done at a cost of $2.40 per day per child. We are justly proud of our economical operation of our two facilities. The United Appeal is our chief source of income and we are indeed grateful for their understanding and support of our high quality of day care services in t he community. To serve as your President has been a source of great pleasure to me and I do wish t o thank everyone who has made my year a happy experience. I particularly enjoyed the privilege of working with our fine Executive Director, Miss Margaret Colbert. Sheltering Arms had a richer program because of the active interest of our Board of Directors and the splendid service of our entire staff. Sincerely, Mrs. Harry L. Spring, Jr., President �Paa- Presidcn,ts Shdter~Arms Associat~
