0306- RMF AR Final2017.Pdf Thanks to your generous support over the last year, RMF accomplished the following in 2016-2017: • Invested more than $165,000 in scholarships for Berks County student musicians, divided equally between audition-based awards and awards that respond to financial need. • Supported two dozen local music organizations with $200,000 in program grants for music performance and education projects. • Advocated for Berks County’s strong music network, from strengthening the capacity of school music programs to providing resources for community access to concerts and ensembles. • Ensured quality instruments are available to students, regardless of their ability to afford them, through Operation Replay, RMF’s instrument recycling program sponsored by Zeswitz Music. Top Left: Sophia DeLong, frequent winning recipient of RMF’s merit auditions, proudly poses with her new violin. Sophia saved up years of scholarship monies to put toward her new instrument!

Bottom Left: Reading Choral Society receives an annual grant from RMF to work with parochial school students across Berks County to provide their very own festival- style concert experience called Gloria Singers. 3 These kids today. At RMF, we think “kids today” are pretty incredible. When we asked our scholarship recipients about their career goals, their answers, full of concentration and purpose, astonished us. For this year’s report, we paired our recipients with local professionals in similar industries to provide a glimpse of these specialized careers. Not surprisingly, we were able to find professionals who also have a music background, immediately providing a special connection between students and their new mentors. The pictures on the following pages don’t reflect how special these meetings were for all of us. Students received tours of operating rooms, learned about the dental school application process, and had the chance to talk about upcoming science fair projects. A personal thank you to Dr. Christine McCarty, Dr. James Petras, Neil Lutz, Andrew Fetterman, Kirsten Deysher, and Kay Stinley for providing memorable experiences for these young musicians. RMF believes that every child in Berks should have access to high-quality music programs, and your donations allow us to make that possible. Not every student musician will become a professional musician, but the skills they’ve learned through choir and band will play an important role in whatever direction they choose. Students who participate in music have a tangible advantage when it comes to developing a strong work ethic and positive attitude. With your investment in RMF and our strong network of music professionals, we might just be able to keep up with “these kids today!” Keri Shultz, President Reading Musical Foundation Board of Trustees 2017-2018 Chair Trustees: Honorary Trustees: David W.

Zacharias 1 SCHOLARSHIPS RMF’s scholarship program is our keystone program to serve young musicians and their families. It has evolved tremendously in the last 15 years, especially the impact of RMF’s need-sensitive awards for students with financial need. RMF changed course in 2003 when it began awarding scholarships to young musicians in financial need while continuing the audition-based scholarships for which it was already known. We did that because we knew the two would eventually knit together: Given private lessons, an instrument upgrade and a summer music camp experience, children helped by the new awards would flourish and become as proficient musically as their peers. That happened for the first time in 2009, when a young vocalist from Muhlenberg who had received need assistance from RMF placed in our competitive merit auditions. During the fiscal year ended mid-2017, 20% of students who placed in the auditions received financial need support from RMF in the past year. That means out of the 109 students who received a merit-based scholarship, 22 of them had a helping hand from a generous donor who believed in them. 2016-2017 SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS 256 7 MERIT AWARDS: $87,800 NEED-SENSITIVE AWARDS - CAMP: $34,430 NEED-SENSITIVE AWARDS - 120 133 PRIVATE STUDY: $43,203 NEED-SENSITIVE AWARDS - INSTRUMENT UPGRADES: $3,150 _______ TOTAL: $168,583 76 Scholarship Match Donors continue to take advantage of the generous scholarship match incentive established by three local donors. Gifts over $500 receive a 33% (one dollar for every three donated) boost. This incentive, coupled with donor generosity, has amplified RMF’s impact in scholarship awards for the past decade. Make your donation to RMF go even further when you create a new fund, sponsor a summer camp scholarship, or make a designated gift to an existing fund! 2 VA Productions This summer, RMF & VA Productions traveled to the George N. Parks Drum Major Academy at West Chester University to meet up with the three recipients from Boyertown High School – Drew Kulhawy, Chad McKenrick, and Samara Rayco. Fund creator, Virginia Dodge, said this about the experience: “Hearing firsthand the leadership skills they learned at the George N. Parks Drum Major Academy and how they see these skills helping them down the road, not only as they lead their band, but as they go through life and are faced with challenges or just the everyday of working with people in a business environment, was so impressive. It thrilled me to know that they too were able to have a life-changing experience through this amazing academy.” SEE MORE The video produced and donated by VA Productions is available at readingmusicalfoundation.org and on RMF’s social media platforms. 3 Robert “Bobby Raye” Lilarose Scholarship – Established in Spring 2017 When Gary Coller set out to find an organ teacher in the early 1970s, he found a lifelong friend in Berks County’s legendary Bobby Raye Lilarose. Last spring, Gary honored that friendship by creating a scholarship for Wilson School District instrumentalists. “Dad taught Gary organ lessons and this is where the love of organ music began. They moved piano/organs, Henry A. & Elizabeth S. Gass repaired them, attended numerous Scholarship Fund – concerts as well as performed for many Established in Winter 2016 years.

  • Greater Reading: a Call to Action
    GREATER READING: A CALL TO ACTION To: The Greater Reading Community The Initiative for a Competitive Greater Reading (ICGR) was started by several local business leaders in response to a challenge – and a commitment of support – by local elected political leaders. These early initiators recognized and stated that they wanted something differ- ent, something real, and something that would make an impact toward creating an exciting and vibrant future for the Greater Reading region. Our approach was based on a simple principle – quality of life begins with a healthy economy. Put more simply, we needed to provide jobs for our residents. And, given our recent history of losing so many jobs, this required us to begin to think about doing some things differently. The good news is that we found a widespread interest in bringing about the necessary changes. What we found lacking initially, at least, was the necessary consensus on priorities. The Initiative for a Competitive Greater Reading set about to change this. Our region is unique in many ways. Sure, we have our problems and challenges. Who doesn’t? But we took account of these, dealt with them and focused most of our efforts on a very real set of opportunities. This we called “dealing with reality”. And “dealing with reality” implies, first, that we recognize things as they actually are, not as we wish they might be or as we might remember them. Among today’s realities, we all need to accept and come to terms with the following: - The region cannot be successful without a vibrant urban core.

  • AMENDED PRELIMINARY PLAN January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2025
    Reading Downtown Improvement District AMENDED PRELIMINARY PLAN January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2025 I. INTRODUCTION The Reading Downtown Improvement District (DID) was created in 1995 in response to property owner, employee and business owner requests for a cleaner, safer downtown Reading. For twenty-five years the Reading DID has provided services above and beyond what would have been provided by the City of Reading. Through a special assessment, levied upon all commercial properties within the District, downtown Reading is a cleaner, safer and more inviting place to live, work and visit. This year, assessed property owners will consider whether the Reading DID should continue for another five- year term. This document is the Preliminary Plan for the DID and outlines its accomplishments, proposed changes and required renewal procedures. In advance of seeking re-authorization, the Reading Downtown Improvement District Authority (RDIDA), with funding from the Berks Alliance, engaged in a strategic planning process to re-examine the organization’s programs, budget, and structure with the goal of increasing the DID’s value proposition to ratepayers and other downtown stakeholders. An Executive Summary of this strategic plan is included as an attachment to the Preliminary Plan A link to the Executive Summary and Strategic Plan is included in this document. In summary, the Strategic Plan offer the following pivots to enhance the DID’s value proposition: • Excel in Core Services. The RDIDA will implement program changes to deliver consistent, high-quality clean, safe and green services throughout the District. • Expand Scope of Services. Compared to DIDs nationally, the Reading DID has a relatively narrow scope of services.

  • Vice President for Institutional Advancement POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT
    y, Vice President for Institutional Advancement POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT Alvernia University invites nominations and applications for the position of Vice President for Institutional Advancement. The University seeks an experienced advancement professional who embraces Alvernia's identity as a "Distinctive Franciscan University," rooted in the Catholic and liberal arts traditions, to lead its constituent relations and fundraising efforts. THE UNIVERSITY True to its heritage, Alvernia’s Franciscan values have shaped its character and history since its founding. Service, humility, collegiality, contemplation, and peacemaking are institutional core values woven through the academic, co-curricular, and spiritual culture of Alvernia. The roots that were to become Alvernia University were planted in 1926 when the Bernardine Sisters of the Third Order of Saint Francis established a Teacher’s Seminary for the education of the Sisters. Thirty-two years later, in 1958, the institution was expanded into a four-year liberal arts college. Alvernia received its charter from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1960. Since that time, the University has grown in both educational opportunities and enrollment. Alvernia’s student population has blossomed from 23 freshmen and eight sophomores in 1958, to a current enrollment of nearly 3,000 students. Students come from diverse cultural, economic, and religious backgrounds, and the institution emphasizes interfaith and intercultural programs as an important element of its mission and identity. Alvernia grants the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Social Work, and Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Graduate programs were added in 1999 and have grown to include seven master’s degrees (MA, MBA, MED, MSOT, MA-Community Counseling, MALS, MSN).
