FLORENCE HENDERSON PAGE 27 In good ‘Taste’ Gov’t moves to block DADT injunction BY REX WOCKNER Editor’s note: Windy City Times will post breaking news online at www.windycity- mediagroup.com about Judge Virginia Phillips’ decision regarding the injunction against ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ as soon as it becomes available. The U.S. government moved Oct. 14 to block a Riverside, Calif., federal judge’s worldwide injunction issued two days earlier that bars the government from mak- ing any further use of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” military gay ban. Justice Department lawyers asked U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips to sus- pend the injunction while the government appeals it, saying her mandated, im- mediate, universal end to DADT was imprudent and could harm the U.S. military. As of this writing, Phillips had not responded to the stay request, and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell remains unenforceable worldwide. In issuing her injunction, Phillips said DADT violates servicemembers’ and pro- spective servicemembers’ Fifth Amendment due-process rights and First Amend- TREVOR PROJECT Beyondmedia held its “Taste of Ten” last week to mark its PAGE 9 ment rights to free speech and to petition for redress of grievances. 10th anniversary.

  • Combined Financial Statements
    A LET T E R FRO M THE PRESIDENT Dear Academy Member, I never cease to feel pride when I see yet another excellent program at the Academy, whether its focus is retrospective, or educational, or both. What a wonderful and fulfilling year of programs, be it a reunion of the cast of DAMN YAN KE ES, say, or a talk by Oscar-winning writer Robert Towne or an exhibition of animation art from the former Soviet Union. I'm also proud to be an Academy member every time I get a peek into the boxes and file drawers at our Center for Motion Picture Study, and I'm reminded of the millions of photographs, papers, films and other minutiae of movie history preserved there. By now we should all be aware that the Academy works continuously at saving and preserving the history of the art form, and at honoring and remembering that history with programs in our theaters and exhibitions in our galleries. Why do we do it? The answer is found in the people I see attending that Bob Towne lecture, or sitting in the Library doing research, or oohing at the stunning black-and-white George Hurrell photos on display in the Academy Gallery. Many of them are Academy members. Even more aren't. But whether it's a student researching biographical material for a term paper, or a young director of photography learning lessons of light from Hurrell's images, or a veteran member of our Directors Branch basking in the inspired lunacy of a Chuck Jones cartoon short, what they take away from these activities is precisely the point of all our preservation efforts.

    Moving Forward FY2012 ANNUAL REPORT The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning young people under 24. Every day, The Trevor Project saves young lives through its free and confidential lifeline and instant messaging services, in-school workshops, educational materials, online resources and advocacy. TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 Executive and Board Message 4 Trevor Timeline: Fiscal Year 2012 5 Spotlights 9 Program Introduction Message 10 Trevor’s Programs 14 Donor Report 18 Trevor Board of Directors and Staff 19 Financial Report EXECUTIVE AND 2/3 | Annual Report FY2012 | MOVING FORWARD BOARD MESSAGE Dea r Friends, Thanks to your unwavering support over this past year, The Trevor Project has moved forward and served more lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth than ever before while adding valuable staff members, embracing new executive and Board leadership, and extending Trevor’s reach to new cities nationwide. This year has been full of change, growth, and progress. Our call reports, chat logs, and digital services make it very clear that The Trevor Project is still urgently needed. We saw one of the largest membership increases on TrevorSpace since the program’s inception in 2008 and we watched the number of calls to the Trevor Lifeline surpass 35,000 – nearly 4,000 more than last year. We also expanded the first nationally available chat service specifically for LGBTQ youth in need of support. While we sincerely wish that the need for Trevor’s services would diminish, we are truly grateful to be present to fulfill the needs of young LGBTQ people in crisis.
