  • 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Dear Friends
    Our mission is to help young people, especially those who need us most, build strong character and realize their full potential as responsible citizens and leaders. We do this by providing: a safe haven filled with hope and opportunity, ongoing relationships with caring adults, and life-enhancing programs. BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF BOSTON 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Dear Friends, This year – and for the last three years – under the remarkable leadership of outgoing Board Chair Dana Smith, Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston has worked diligently to develop an incredible breadth and depth of thoughtfully designed programs to help our members succeed academically, live healthy lifestyles, practice good citizenship and be prepared for life after the Club. In this report, I invite you to read about just a few of the opportunities we provided to more than 17,000 young people at our Clubs. While BGCB invests $3,100 to serve each member – many of whom come from households with incomes of less than $33,000 per year – we only charge $25 per school year for 6-12 year olds and just $5 a year for teens – and no child is turned away because of an inability to pay. Each one of the generous contributions made by the individuals, corporations, foundations and community partners listed in this report played an important role in making this possible. In order to stay affordable and continue to offer even more enriching programs to the kids who need us most, I am excited to share that we successfully completed our five-year Opening Doors Campaign for Our Children, Our City, Our Future and surpassed our goal of $125 million – raising $131 million! We have also exceeded our planned giving goal of securing over 75 members of the Frederic C.

  • Tuija Tuhkanen “IN MEMORIAM SUI ET SUORUM POSUIT”
    Tuija Tuhkanen Tuhkanen Tuija Muistokuvia lahjoitettiin Suomen kirkkoihin keskiajalta aina 1700-luvulle asti. Tämä perinne piirtyy historiaan vahvana ja ikään kuin ulkoisista tekijöistä lähes riippumattomana jatkumona. Keskiajalla muistokuvien lahjoittaminen liittyi kiinteästi memoria- ja lahjoituskäytäntöön. Lahjoittajien kuvallinen esittäminen kirkoissa ei kuitenkaan loppunut reformaation myötä, vaikka sen opillinen lähtökohta tuli kielletyksi. Pa- remminkin vaikuttaa siltä, että muistokuvin ja -esinein pyrittiin täyttämään se tyhjyys, jonka memoria-kultin kieltäminen muuten olisi jättänyt. “IN MEMORIAM SUI ET SUORUM POSUIT” Ihanteellista kristittyä esittävät muistokuvat näyttäytyvät myös ulkoisilta piirteiltään lähes muuttumattomina. Toinen lahjoittajien muistokuvien ominaispiirre on niiden sisältämä kaksoisviesti: näemme lahjoittajan nöyrään rukoukseen polvistuneena hahmona, mutta samalla hänen hen- kilöllisyytensä tuodaan korostuneesti esille jopa kolmen merkki- järjestelmän – kuvan, vaakunan ja kirjoitetun nimen – avulla. Kunnioi- tusta ja nöyryyttä osoittava asento rakentaa lahjoittajalle kristillisen hy- veen mukaista eetosta, kun taas kuvatun määrätietoinen esilletuonti on muistetuksi tulemisen kannalta tärkeää. Tutkimus avaa uskonpuhdistuksen molemmin puolin ulottuvan näkö- alan kysymykseen, miten ja miksi lah- joittajat halusivat tulla kuvatuiksi kirk- koihin. Muistokuvia analysoidaan seu- rakunnalle suunnattuina esityksinä, joi- den kuvaretorisessa kielessä välittyy pyrkimys vakuuttaa katsoja lahjoittajan ansioista tulla muistetuksi.
