Dr. Claire Gaudiani
The Greater Good
How Philanthropy Drives the American Economy & Can Save Capitalism
Dr. Claire Gaudiani was the incredible, energizing and intellectually challenging speaker at the celebration of PHILANTHROPY DAY sponsored by the Rockland Development Council. You had to be there. You might draw some different conclusions. You would be inspired both by the speaker and her grasp of the GREAT AMERICAN EXPERIMENT that is ongoin to today.
Dr. Gaudiani drew on our history from the Arabella sermon of John Winthrop in 1630 speaking of the need in this new land to share our superfluities until necessities are met for all of us. Our declaration of inter-dependence are the two pillars of philanthropy and generoisity combined with opportunity, particularly opportunity to move up in business.
When the first college in America started in 1636, it was only 7 years later that scholarships were being provided for the children of bakers, blacksmiths and tradesmen who otherwise would never be able to receive an education. Gratitude is the second unerpinning. Those who receive learn by example and give back when it is their turn.

Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining?
A less than smooth transition in San Fernando, California where 1,400 preschoolers are out of their classrooms temporarily, as officials at the US-DHHS Administration for Children, Youth & Families scrambles to replace existing governance and management provided by the Latin American Civic Association for 26 schools with a $10 million federal budget. At least for the short term, the Denver-based Community Development Institute will take over administration and operations.
Reminds us of history in Rockland County. A major Community Action Program (CAP Agency) was de-funded. Among the outcomes, a county-wide Head Start of Rockland under the auspices of the Nyack-based Head Start, including the experience and savvy of its Executive Director, Mary Jane Pauling-Jones. Net result? An extraordinarly organization that serves nearly 900 low income children and thier families, is a major employer with nearly 300 employees in its 17 schools, and the efficiencies of a larger infrastructure.
We hope the outcome in California will be a net positive for the community, the families, and particularly the children who get a Head Start on sucess in life and school. What do you thinK?

KOHLHAUSEN HEADS FUND DRIVE
KOHLHAUSEN HEADS FUND DRIVE
Robert Jimenez, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Head Start of Rockland has announced the appointment of Richard Kohklhausen, a principal in Capitol Risk Management Services, to serve as Chairman of the first philanthropic fund drive on behalf of the 40-year-old preschool and early childhood education program for low income children and their families in Rockland County.
Richard Kohlhausen received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from New York University and earned an M.B.A. from the Hagen School of Business at Iona College. In addition to heading Capitol Risk Management Services, Kohlhausen teaches courses in entrepreneurship for WIBO in the south Bronx and holds a commission in the U.S. Army. He brings passion and zeal to education as a long time friend of Head Start and is a former President of the Nyack School Board. He was recently appointed by Governor George Pataki to the board of trustees at Rockland Community College. He is a resident of Valley Cottage with his wife, Barbara Kohlhausen, and has two adult children, Kimberly and Kristin.
Jimenez said: “We are excited and energized with Dick Kohlhausen agreeing to provide the leadership required for our new philanthropic fundraising to succeed. He is an astute businessman with an ability to reach out to business and foundation leaders in our community.”
Mary Jane Pauling-Jones, Executive Director of Head Start of Rockland, added: “Dick is a long time advocate for and friend of Head Start. He understands the need for substantial local dollars to serve as match for our federal funding and to meet growing demand for space and facilities for children in need. We do not meet Rockland County’s needs with federal funding alone. We must and will do more to raise funds in the private sector.
Kohlhausen said: “It is a privilege and an honor to serve Head Start of Rockland in a meaningful and rewarding way. As we celebrate Head Start’s 40th Anniversary this year, we look to build a strong and lasting foundation for its next 10-20 years. We know there are generous people here in Rockland County who will join the cause of helping low income children build successful futures based on quality preschool education.
Head Start of Rockland is a private 501©(3) organization that serves nearly 900 low income children and their families at 15 sites in Rockland County. For information, please check out the new Head Start web site at http://www.headstartofrockland.org/ or call 845-358-2234 ext 43.
