2018 Annual Report the Bgcci Mission BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF CENTRAL IOWA 2018 ANNUAL REPORT THE BGCCI MISSION At Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Iowa, we provide a safe, supportive place for kids and teens to be after school and during the summer, with structured programs and caring staff role models in place to address the most difficult challenges facing our young people. OUR MISSION To inspire and enable all young people, especially those that need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. OUR VISION To provide a world-class Club experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who walks through our doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, demonstrating good character and citizenship, and living a healthy lifestyle. OUR VALUES Respect • Integrity • Compassion • Excellence • Safety 2 A MESSAGE FROM BGCCI LEADERSHIP Dear Friend, Thank you for your generous support of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Iowa (BGCCI)! Because of you, our kids and teens have a safe, supportive place to be when they’re not in school and the resources they need to reach great futures! For over 50 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Iowa has provided life-changing guidance for the young people of our Des Moines community. This year, we served 1,900 members, celebrating milestones, special events, and impactful programs along the way. However, we know there are many more young people we can guide to great futures. We also know our members are more likely to succeed if they start their Club journeys early and continue throughout their academic careers. That’s why in the past year, we’ve launched a future vision of growth called Club Pathways. Through this visionary plan, BGCCI will complete four paths of Clubs in Des Moines so that kids and teens can progress from elementary through high school with the Boys & Girls Clubs by their side. In the following pages, you’ll learn more about the past year at Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Iowa, our exciting Club Pathways vision, and how you can get involved in the great futures of our kids and teens! Thank you for helping us pave the way for the future leaders of our Des Moines community!

  • Neglected Jazz Figures of the 1950S and Early 1960S New World NW 275
    Introspection: Neglected Jazz Figures of the 1950s and early 1960s New World NW 275 In the contemporary world of platinum albums and music stations that have adopted limited programming (such as choosing from the Top Forty), even the most acclaimed jazz geniuses—the Armstrongs, Ellingtons, and Parkers—are neglected in terms of the amount of their music that gets heard. Acknowledgment by critics and historians works against neglect, of course, but is no guarantee that a musician will be heard either, just as a few records issued under someone’s name are not truly synonymous with attention. In this album we are concerned with musicians who have found it difficult—occasionally impossible—to record and publicly perform their own music. These six men, who by no means exhaust the legion of the neglected, are linked by the individuality and high quality of their conceptions, as well as by the tenaciousness of their struggle to maintain those conceptions in a world that at best has remained indifferent. Such perseverance in a hostile environment suggests the familiar melodramatic narrative of the suffering artist, and indeed these men have endured a disproportionate share of misfortunes and horrors. That four of the six are now dead indicates the severity of the struggle; the enduring strength of their music, however, is proof that none of these artists was ultimately defeated. Selecting the fifties and sixties as the focus for our investigation is hardly mandatory, for we might look back to earlier years and consider such players as Joe Smith (1902-1937), the supremely lyrical trumpeter who contributed so much to the music of Bessie Smith and Fletcher Henderson; or Dick Wilson (1911-1941), the promising tenor saxophonist featured with Andy Kirk’s Clouds of Joy; or Frankie Newton (1906-1954), whose unique muted-trumpet sound was overlooked during the swing era and whose leftist politics contributed to further neglect.

More than ever, corporations are expected to step up, whether it’s contributing to the elimination of social injustices that have plagued our country, keeping employees safe and healthy during the COVID-19 Pandemic, or fighting to curb global greenhouse gas emissions. Meredith has heard that call, and the many actions we are taking across the social responsibility spectrum are outlined in this report. We recognize the need for our business to be socially responsible, as well as a competitive and productive player in the marketplace. Just as we are devoted to providing our consumers with inspiration and valued content, we want them to feel great about the company behind the brands they love and trust. At Meredith, we promote the health and well-being of our employees; implement continuous improvements to make our operating systems, products and facilities more environmentally friendly; and take actions to create a just and inclusive environment for all. The social justice events of 2020 have brought diversity and inclusion to the forefront for many people both personally and professionally.
