Tracy gets home from work every day in time to clean up around the house, feed her kids and ensure they get to bed at a reasonable hour. Making sure her children get the extra help necessary to excel in school is a significant challenge. Thankfully, four of Tracy’s children attend the George Washington Carver Academy Boys & Girls Club, where they actively participate in MarVan Scholars.

After arriving in the States, Ester enrolled at Brown Deer High School where she became very aware of her differences from her classmates—different dress, different food, different customs and a different language. Thankfully, she joined the Brown Deer High School Boys & Girls Club where the staff and other Club members welcomed Ester and quickly engaged her in a variety of programs to build her self-confidence, develop her leadership skills and support her academically. It became clear early on that Ester was going to seize every opportunity her Club membership afforded her. She became involved in Sista Pride, a leadership program for middle school and high school girls. She also became involved in a teen-led community service program called Keystone Club, where she was elected vice Being in the 84% OF MEMBERS president by her peers. According to Ester, “That actually helped me grow up more feel they can and become more responsible than I am before. It trained me to take charge.” Boys & Girls MAKE A DIFFERENCE As her involvement with the Club grew, so did her self-esteem. When an Clubs will really in their community entrepreneurship summit was offered offsite, Ester was the only person from her Club to attend.

Ester insists that without the support of Club staff, she would have failed all of her classes and had to repeat her junior year. Thankfully, she excelled in school and her sister recovered. 1,638 CLUB MEMBERS participated in Keystone and Ester gives a lot of credit to the role the Club has played in her life. “Being in the Torch Club, taking part in Boys & Girls Clubs will really help you a lot because it has helped me in so many COMMUNITY SERVICE ways.” She has become a confident young woman who is comfortable in her own skin. Ester is currently enrolled in her freshman year of college at UW-Milwaukee. 6 ACCESS & SAFETY Anthony LaPoint started attending a Boys & Girls Club when he was in 5th grade. It wasn’t for the sports programs, the field trips or even the friendships. He came for the food. That was the year he didn’t have electricity at home. His mother worked all day, so in the summer he was on his own to prepare meals. The only way he could cook food was on the grill where he prepared noodles, fish sticks and pizza. He heard about the Boys & Girls Club in his neighborhood and started attending so he could eat properly cooked meals.

  • American Optometric Foundation
    American Optometricaof Foundation annual2009 report 2010 AMERICAN OPTOMETRIC FOUNDATION is a philanthropic organization which develops and provides financial support for optometric research and education in vision and eye health. 3 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Message President's ON COURSE... The American Academy of Optometry and its Foundation enjoyed another banner year. The record-breaking Annual Meeting in San Francisco was also the Foundation’s most successful meeting ever, raising over $190,000 to support research and education. Donations made through registration started a very positive trend. The philanthropy continued at the AOF exhibit hall booth where over $95,000 from donors was augmented by a $25,000 match from Essilor of America. Thirty-eight lecturers redirected their honoraria to the Foundation. This along with an annual contribution commitment from the Academy Board for Continuing Education dollars provided an additional $27,500. The Foundation Celebration Luncheon was attended by 280 supporters and the silent auction raised over $10,000. The Foundation also received a couple of impressive lead gifts, described on the following pages. This Annual Report further demonstrates the financial health of your Foundation: $3.5 million in assets and $400,000 awarded in fellowships, scholarships and grants in 2010. Furthermore, thanks to the continued support of the Academy Board, the Foundation’s expenses are extremely low. Thus your donations support the future of optometry rather than administrative costs. The year saw a few milestones for the Foundation. We awarded the first Michael G. Harris Ezell Fellowship supporting an optometrist pursuing graduate work in education, public policy, public health, or related areas.

  • Legal Defense Funds and Other Ways That Government Officials Pay Their Lawyers
    Paying the Price for Heightened Ethics Scrutiny: Legal Defense Funds and Other Ways That Government Officials Pay Their Lawyers Kathleen Clark* This article takes a comprehensive look at a problem of growing signifi- cance for government officials: how to pay the legalfees they incur when they or their colleagues are investigatedfor wrongdoing. Since Watergate, an in- creasing number of government officials have had to hire attorneys when called before grandjuries and legislative committees or subjected to internal admin- istrative investigations. Their legalfees often outstrip their government salaries or even their net worth. This article examines three existing mechanisms for government reimbursement of legal fees-Justice Department regulations, the Independent Counsel statute, andprivate legislation-andidentifies the short- comings of each. It then explores the legal status of legal defensefunds, which top officials have used to raise millions of dollars to pay their legalfees. Fi- nally, the article identifies several reforms that would treat government officials much morefairly andprotect against corruptinginfluences.
