Join the Operation Welcome Homes Team! Our Founders and Staff: Don Rubin served as President of the board of directors for Youth Outreach Services (YOS), a Chicago-based non-profit organization that provides substance abuse prevention, counseling and treatment to adolescents and their families. Barbara Winer is Don’s wife, an attorney and a medical claim processor, who is familiar with the stress that often besets returning veterans, particularly those with medical and psychological issues. Steve Kastner is a public relations consultant and electronic media designer in Fish Creek, Wisconsin. He creates and maintains the Operation Welcome Homes Web site and develops, writes and distributes our press and publicity materials. Steve is spearheading the Door County pilot program which we hope will serve as a model for eventual nationwide expansion.
