THE HARRISBURG AREA YMCA 2012 Annual Report a Place to Learn, Grow, Thrive FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT® FOR HEALTHY LIVING FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY THE HARRISBURG AREA YMCA 2012 Annual Report A PLace TO LEARN, GROW, THRIVE. THERE IS NO ORGANIZatiON QUITE LIKE THE YMCA. That’s because in many neighborhoods across our service area, we have the presence and partnerships to not just promise, but to deliver, lasting personal and social change. We work tirelessly every day to nurture the potential of kids, improve the community’s health and well- being, and give back and support our neighbors. We recognize for communities to succeed, everyone must be given the opportunity to be healthy, confident, connected and secure. To that end, last year we gave away more than $3.8 million in financial assistance and subsidized programs and services to ensure that 18,786 of our neighbors, regardless of age, income or background, had the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Our sights are set on the future. The Board of Directors has worked hard on a new strategic plan that will increase our impact on our community and the furtherance of our mission. At the Y, we’re not simply changing the lives of people in our community today. We are building an entire legacy of change. One that will shape the future of generations to come. And we couldn’t do it without the hard work and generous support of our partners, volunteers, donors, staff and members. Thank you for playing a part in building the foundations of community in the greater Harrisburg Area. Please enjoy our 2012 Annual Report. Yours in Service, Mark G. Caldwell Richard A.

    Vol. Vol.18 • 17No. • 2No. 2 SpringWinter 20062005 CurrentsPenn State Harrisburg Alumni Magazine College Benefactor Richard Ziegler: More than Meets the Eye Currents • penn state harrisburg alumni magazine Welcome to Currents GreetingsWelcome to the Spring 2006from issue of Currents,the yourChancellor… Penn State Harrisburg alumni magazine. The end of the academic year is a time at which we pause to acknowledge the achievements of students, faculty, staff, and alumni. It also marks a period of transition, as new graduates stand ready to meet the challenges of professional life, while retiring faculty and staff prepare for life after the rigors of the daily workplace. At commencement ceremonies in May 2006, Penn State Harrisburg conferred some 600 degrees, and another nearly 600 degrees a few months earlier at ceremonies in December 2005. These numbers are particularly significant as we celebrate the college’s 40th anniversary this year. Penn State Harrisburg’s first graduating class, those students who began when the campus opened in 1966 and graduated in 1968, included 12 students. Clearly, the idea for a campus in the capital city four decades ago has proven to be a good one. The proof? The nearly 32,000 graduates Penn State Harrisburg, the Capital College, has added to the University alumni roster. Our April 18 Donor Recognition Dinner recognized those whose philanthropy helps students either directly through scholarships, or indirectly through the donation of resources to enhance campus programs and facilities. This spring we also honored faculty and staff members with awards for outstanding achievement and leadership in the areas of diversity, service, teaching, research, and scholarship.

    VA SYL NI A N N C E O A P 2011-12 Annual Report L I A T I G O A N I N S T R A P E NIA VA CO L A Y L S A letter from our CEO I I’m proud to present to you the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape (PCAR)’s Annual Report for fiscal year 2011-12. The year provided an opportunity for our coalition to engage communities across Pennsylvania in a broader conversation about child sexual abuse. T In November 2011, the national spotlight focused on former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky who was facing multiple criminal charges related to accusations that he sexually abused 10 boys. In June N 2012, he was tried for 48 related charges and convicted on 45 counts. All eyes were on Pennsylvania. With that spotlight came increased attention to child sexual abuse—and sexual assault in general. I’m proud to say PCAR led the way in advocating for the rights of sexual assault victims and educating the public about sexual abuse. We fought to keep the names of the survivors who testified about Sandusky private I by filing an amicus curiae in conjunction with the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, the Victim Rights Law Center, the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence, The National Center for Victims of Crime and the National Crime Victim Law Institute. Members of our staff stayed on-site throughout the entire trial process, offering victim perspectives to members of the media and their audience, and combating claims by Sandusky’s attorneys through blog responses and N O national media releases.

Reed CITY COUNCIL Richard K. House, Sr., President Linda D. Thompson, Vice President Otto V. Banks Gloria E. Martin-Roberts Eric L. Waters Vera J. White Susan C. Wilson CITY CONTROLLER James J. McCarthy, Jr. CITY TREASURER Paul P. Wambach DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION Linda Lingle Business Administrator PREPARED BY: BUREAU OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT Robert F. Kroboth, CGFM Deputy Business Administrator William P. Leinberger, CMA, CFM Michael S. Wood Accounting Manager Budget Manager Yolanda M. Jones Senior Budget/Management Analyst Mattea D. Fera Shanti R. Shah Purchasing Manager Fiscal Officer II FOREWORD The City of Harrisburg (City) has become an example of urban resurgence at a time when many of America’s cities continue to undergo further decline and serious economic stress. Harrisburg’s renewal has been multi-faceted, touching virtually every area of city governmental and community endeavor. Listed as the second most distressed city in the nation in 1981 under federal distress criteria, Harrisburg launched, in 1982, a major change in course based on three priority pursuits: reform of city government, development of non-tax revenue sources, and aggressive economic development. These remain this City’s priorities. The resultant success of these efforts is, in part, reflected by the various national and state recognitions Harrisburg has received from independent private-sector, professional, civic, and governmental bodies. In the past eighteen years, Harrisburg has each year attained the highest national award for governmental accounting and financial reporting, the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.

  • Exhibit a – Executive Summary Dauphin County, PA Exhibitaexecsumm
    Exhibit A – Executive Summary Dauphin County, PA ExhibitAExecSumm As the population, healthcare, commercial, and tourism/recreation hub of south-central Pennsylvania, Dauphin County is home to the state’s capital, the City of Harrisburg. The County lies at the crossroads of several major East Coast transportation corridors, including the Pennsylvania Turnpike (Interstate 76) and Interstates 81, 83, and 283. Dauphin County features several significant economic drivers and regional assets, such as Hershey Park and Hershey Arena, Hershey Bears ice hockey, Harrisburg International Airport, Harrisburg Senators baseball, Penn State Capital Campus, Harrisburg Area Community College, and a variety of world-class regional health systems, all of which provide jobs and job-training opportunities for a diverse population. Dauphin County’s topography is punctuated by pastoral vistas and low, rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The County’s waterways include streams, creeks, and tributaries, some of which originate in northern Pennsylvania and collect run-off from the rolling hills and ridges across the County. Many of these waterways feed into the Susquehanna River, which flows north-south from New York, creates the County’s western border, and eventually empties into the Chesapeake Bay. Dauphin County and the greater Harrisburg region were developed by the agricultural and steel industries that relied on the County’s waterways to sustain operations and transport goods to market. While these two economic drivers led to substantial development and urbanization of the region, their impact has waned in more recent history. The decline of the steel industry, in particular, resulted in concentrations of unemployment and poverty, particularly in communities near the river, from which steel products had once been produced and transported.
