GRATEFUL HEARTS PROGRAMRecognizes Dedicated CaregiversA Mission of the Western District of the Moravian Church

This year is shaping up to be a truly pivotal one for Marquardt Village, as many ofour plans are now making great strides forward. We couldn’t be more excited aboutthe future.It has been nearly two and a half years since the board approved and we firstannounced our master plan for redevelopment and expansion of the Marquardt Villagecampus. Last fall renovations were completed of Park Centre North and South and, asI write this letter, temporary signing of the new names is being installed on theseapartment buildings and Park Hill.Our next phase is scheduled to start April 1, including the all-new construction ofTowne Centre and Park Terrace Assisted Living and Memory Care. In mid-December we finalized private placementfinancing at very favorable terms, which is a positive reflection of the organization’s strong financial standing now andwell into the future (page 3).In many other ways, our community is growing and serving more people. We recently welcomed new boardmembers and staff (page 7). In addition to serving Marquardt residents, Marquardt at Home has been providinghome health and hospice care to an 8-county area of southeast Wisconsin since early last year, including part ofDane County. Now, services are available throughout all of Dane (page 6).Continuing to build our Foundation is also critical to the success of Marquardt Village. We thank our generous donorsfor your continued generosity which helps us provide for our residents in so many ways (page 11). We also salute ourstaff members, who came through in a very big way during the Foundation’s first annual Shining Stars campaignlast fall. A mix of activities offered a chance to let loose and have some fun and employee participation grew to 45%(pages 8-9). The second annual campaign this fall is definitely something to look forward to.Thank you for all you do to keep Marquardt Village strong. Grounded in faith, all things are possible.Blessings,Matthew Mauthe, CEO Financing Secured for Next Phase...................................3 Thank You, Our Shining Stars........................................8-9 Kosanovich Family’s Grateful Hearts..........................4-5 Thinking About Moving to Marquardt....................... 10 Marquardt at Home Covers Dane County...................6 Donor Appreciation............................................................ 11 Meet New Board Members & Staff...................................7 Keeping Our Campus Beautiful..................................... 12

1020 Hill Street Watertown, WI 53098 Phone: (920) 206-4663 MarquardtVillage.orgSponsored by the Western Districtof the Moravian Church Years ago, ash trees were adopted by many cities in Wisconsin, including Watertown, as a disease-resistant replacement for American elms devastated by the emerald ash borer (EAB). Decades later, these trees have proved to be as susceptible. Watertown is now removing approximately 900 ash trees a year in rights of way, parks and public building landscapes. As part of keeping the Marquardt Village campus beautiful, an expert arborist was called in to inspect our trees. Unfortunately, many will need to be replaced. While we hate to see them go, the good news is that the master plan for our campus includes replacement of nearly all, as well as placing new trees as close as practical to existing trees. Removal will begin this spring. Where new plantings of hardy hardwood trees will not be affected by construction, planting will also begin this spring. Other areas will be landscaped as soon as construction allows. Residents, staff and visitors: many thanks to you for your patience as we take steps to protect the beauty of our campus for current and future generations. Address changes or requests to be removed from the Marquardt Connections mailing list can be emailed to [email protected].
