Campaign
for a New Home
Aldea Children and Family Services
has just moved into our new home at 1546 First Street.
As one of the larger non-profit organizations in the Napa
Valley, Aldea has put the needs of children first for
nearly four decades. We serve children who suffer abuse
and neglect, or who struggle with emotional and mental
difficulties. For kids like these, for their families
and for adults with disabilities, Aldea Children and Family
Services has been an advocate and shining source of hope.
And for over 35years, our therapists and social workers
have been committed to the health and well being of the
most vulnerable in Napa and Solano counties. Last year,
Aldea helped over 2,200emotionally troubled and traumatized
children and their families find support, safety, and
healing. Today we face a new challenge... to fund our
new home. To accomplish this we have launched a $2.5 million
capital campaign called, Aldea’s Campaign
for a New Home in August of this year.
With gifts and pledges of $1.5 million
already obtained, we are substantially on our way to reaching
our campaign goal of $2.5million. With committed pledges
from some long term supporters of the agency, Aldea purchased
the building in downtown Napa in March this year and upgraded
it to our needs. With successful completion of the Campaign
for a New Home sometime in 2009, we will be able to retire
the mortgage on the building. By retiring the mortgage,
Aldea can then redirect those funds to services for children
and families.
We are planning
a capital campaign donor appreciation event in April to
recognize all contributors to the Allen Ewig Building.
Donate TODAY and be part of that celebration. (click

Estate Planning
There are many different ways to
make a lasting gift to Aldea Children and Family Services.
That is why Aldea is pleased to offer the services of
Thompson & Associates, a national leader in estate
plan consulting. Thompson’s representative, Bob
Hoffman, is available for confidential meetings, with
no expectation of a financial commitment to Aldea Children
&Family Services. While planned giving advisors traditionally
concentrate on the gift for the sponsoring charity, Thompson
&Associates focuses on the priorities and life circumstances
of the donor. Here’s what Thompson & Associates
can do for you:
-
Clarify your estate goals and work with you to develop
a Personal Financial Philosophy that reflects your vision.
Provide and manage an action plan geared toward achieving
your expected estate outcomes.
-
Compare your existing estate plan with Thompson’s
recommendations for you.
-
Collaborate significantly with your present advisors
and work with them to accomplish your goals.
-
Outline how you can potentially transfer more wealth
to your heirs by including a qualified non-
profit organization in your estate plan. Quantify the
amount that would otherwise go to taxes.
- Several
Aldea supporters have already met with Bob Hoffman,
and have great appreciation for his advice.
If
you have questions or would like to schedule a free, confidential
meeting with Bob Hoffman, please call Katie Bullard at
Aldea, (707-224-8266 ext. 637). You can be assured that
no financial products will be marketed and that there
is no obligation involved.
In-kind
Donations
Donations
in kind, either for use in our programs, by the families
we support or as auction items for our fundraiser are
welcome. While there are some limitations of what we can

think might help us or those we serve.
