Inc. Lafayette, Louisiana We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Lafayette Association for Retarded Citizens, Inc.. (a nonprofit organization) as of June 30, 2009, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility ofthe Association's management Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Govemment Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General ofthe United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also indudes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. On May 1, 1979, buildings in existence were restated to appraisal values. In our opinion, assets should be stated at acquisition cost, or if donated, recorded at their fair value at the date of the gift, net of depreciation, to conform with generally accepted accounting principles. The effects of this practice on the financial statements are undetermined. In our opinion, except for the effects of recording certain buildings at appraisal values, as discussed in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairiy in all material respects tiie financial position of Lafayette Association for Retarded Citizens, Inc., as of June 30, 2009, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity witii accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In accordance with Govemment Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 30, 2009, on our consideration of the Association's intemal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance witii certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of intemal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the intemal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Govemment Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit Mnnber Society of Louisiana Certified Public AccounUnts Our audit was conducted for tiie purpose of fomiing an opinion on the basic financial statements of Lafayette Association for Retarded Citizens.

We are grateful to Walter E. Gast for permission to use them. Please see his website at http://www.planetgast.net/symbols/ for more details. There are hundreds of symbols associated with Christianity, the Church, and the Holy Saints. On this page, these symbols are organized by the person or topic they symbolize.

Heaven. See the page Symbol Types to see symbols organized by their type (mongram, shape, animal), instead of the idea they represent. GOD THE FATHER Hand (Manus Dei) The hand of God (Manus Dei) is used as a symbol of God the Father. It was virtually the only symbol for God used during the first eight centuries of the church. The hand symbolizes God's ownership of and providence for all of creation, and comes from the many references to the 'hand of God' in the Bible. The 'Manus Dei' may take other forms. A hand clutching five persons indicates God's care and concern for people. A hand with the thumb, index and middle fingers extended with the others folded back on the palm is a Latin form symbolic of the Trinity. A hand with index finger extended, middle finger curled to form a 'C', thumb crossed over the ring finger and little finger curled into another 'C'; forms the letters IX XC, an abbreviation for the Greek name of Jesus Christ.

It’s always a privilege to set foot on the manicured lawns of Tinky Towers where the tranquillity is only interrupted by birdsong and the tinkling of a miniature fountain. Tinky Winky has clearly put his Teletubby career far behind him.

EVE BTBATSFORD, 94 HIGH HOLBORN LONDON I907 Bctlkr & Tanner, The Selwood Printing ^Vobks, Frome, and London. 1GC0718 P r e fa c e THE intention of this book is to assist the workers in the many arts that are concerned with heraldry, in varying degrees, by putting before them as simply as possible the essential principles of heraldic art. In this way it is hoped to contribute to the improve- ment in the treatment of heraldry that is already evident, as a result of the renewed recognition of its ornamental and historic importance, but which still leaves so much to be desired. It is hoped that not only artists but also those who are, or may become, interested in this attractive subject in other ways, will find herein some helpful information and direction. So that the work of the artist and the judgment and appreciation of the public may alike be furthered by a knowledge of the factors that go to make up heraldic design and of the technique of various methods of carrying it into execution. To this end the illustrations have been selected from a wide range of subjects and concise descriptions of the various processes have been included. And although the scope of the book cannot include all the methods of applying heraldry, in Bookbinding, Pottery and Tiles for example, the principles that are set forth will serve ;; VI PREFACE all designers who properly consider the capabilities and limitations of their materials.
