2015 Annual Report | the GRANITE YMCA BUILD with US a LETTER from OUR PRESIDENT & CEO Dear Members of the Granite YMCA GROW. THRIVE. TRANSFORM. 2015 Annual Report | THE GRANITE YMCA BUILD WITH US A LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT & CEO Dear Members of The Granite YMCA, Two years ago, The Granite YMCA trustees and staff approved a new strategic plan with a vision to build a stronger, healthier and more harmonious community through new programs to be offered at all of our branches. Our belief was that by focusing on developing healthy children of strong character, strengthening families and building leadership around social responsibility, that the YMCA could be a major force in changing the fabric of our community. These were lofty goals but I’m pleased to report that we have done just that and it is exciting to see. As of this report, we are on our third launch of our character development programs for youth having rolled out this initiative in all of our camps, child care programs and aquatics. This has involved over 3,000 youth who are taught, mentored and recognized for displaying outstanding character. They receive awards as “character rock stars” and it is really fantastic to see our children embrace becoming role models of outstanding character. Our staff has been trained in a new program called “Courage to Care,” an anti-bullying curriculum for teens which asks them to step up when bullying occurs and be an advocate of caring, empathy and respect of others. This is part of a major initiative to provide safe and enriching opportunities for teens. We are building two new Centers for Youth and Teen Leadership this year in Manchester and Goffstown as a part of our current $3.1 million dollar capital campaign. This, along with expansions at our day and resident camps, will serve thousands of youth. It’s been a really exciting year for promoting healthy lifestyles. We have received major grants in excess of $100,000 to expand our LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program for cancer survivors, the MoveWell Today Diabetes Prevention Program and Prescribe the Y to support chronically obese youth. By the end of next year, these programs will be running at our five facility branches. Serving families continues to be a central focus by providing child care for over 1,600 kids each day in our YMCA child care programs. Special events such as Healthy Kids Day, Brunch with Santa, halloween parties and family summer camp events are very popular. Families represent over half of our YMCA memberships. More financial aid is given to families each year to ensure we include all of our community members. This year over 19,000 individuals received financial aid or free services. As one of New Hampshire’s longest standing and most enduring non profits, the Y is growing, thriving and making a positive difference in the lives of our youth, families and communities. Our five facility branches and two resident camps are all doing well and meeting our mission to build a healthy spirit, mind and body. Thanks so much to all of our donors, volunteers and staff who keep our vision alive to build community through The Granite YMCA. 2015 Annual Report | The Granite YMCA | 3 With a presence in neighborhoods across the state, we help people of all ages and from all walks of life to learn, grow and thrive by developing the skills and relationships they need to be healthy, confident, and connected to others.

Camp scholarships ensure all kids have the opportunity to experience summer the way kids should. “Camp Foss has played an important role in growing my leadership skills. I can’t thank the counselors enough for the amazing experience. The time I’ve spent at Camp Foss was the time of my life. I made so many great friends that I still stay in touch with. My counselors were true role models. I only hope that someday I can become a counselor and make as much of a difference in other campers lives as they did for me.” – D.

  • Resurrection Man: a Matter of Death and Life (The New 52) Volume 2 Free
    FREE RESURRECTION MAN: A MATTER OF DEATH AND LIFE (THE NEW 52) VOLUME 2 PDF Andy Lanning,Dan Abnett | 160 pages | 25 Jun 2013 | DC Comics | 9781401238667 | English | United States Review: Resurrection Man Vol. 2- A Matter of Death and Life - ComicBookWire Pros: The main storyline details an exciting investigation into an intriguing mystery. The conclusion of the volume is great and provides a surprising answer to the questions asked throughout this series. Cons: The Suicide Squad crossover feels unnecessary. Overall: Although the first volume of this series was plagued with problems, the conclusion to this series is so good that it might make up for it. This collection details the thrilling exploits of a hero looking for answers. Then, as the volume and series come to a close, these answers are revealed in the best way possible. It is a satisfying conclusion with a unique twist at the end. Resurrection Man Vol. Overall, this is a solid collection that gives this series a great conclusion. It makes for a better reading experience in both the pursuit of mystery and the eventual reveal. His battles with angels and assassins feel more significant because the fights have a sense of continuity. However, the best part of this entire collection comes in the final two chapters, where all of the questions are answered. It turns out that the villain who has been hunting down Mitch this entire time has been the real Mitch Shelly. This villain explains that the Mitch readers have been following this entire time is not the real Mitch, he is a new person regenerated from the discarded arm of the old Mitch.

  • Comic Book Biography: Keith Giffen by Rik Offenberger
    Comic Book Biography: Keith Giffen by Rik Offenberger It’s one of the better creator stories of the past couple of years. After a stretch where he could barely get a nod of recognition from Marvel or DC, Keith Giffen is experiencing a career renaissance rarely seen. While he was a major force to contend with in comics in the later ‘80s and ‘90s, thanks to his work on Legion of Super- Heroes and Justice League, both titles ultimately went through major shifts in tone, and as their directions changed, so did their writer. For a long-ish period, it seemed that Giffen was gone from comics as well. His name would pop up occasionally, but for the most part, comics seemed to have moved on, and Giffen wasn’t on the train. Give it a few years, and things do change. With a solid foundation based in translating popular manga series, and some new superhero work through Boom! Studios, Giffen is back in full force, overseeing not one, but two major events: Annihilation at Marvel and 52 at DC. It’s a comeback that would make not only any of Giffen’s contemporaries, but…well, any creator working in mainstream comics jealous. During some of his rare free time, we sat down with Giffen for a look back, around, and forward. Newsarama: Keith, let's just jump into it at the beginning - where did you study art? Keith Giffen: The Little Falls public library. I didn't really have any formal art training and it shows. The year I spent at the NY School of Visual Arts was a faux hippie, metaphysical nightmare and the night courses I took at the DuCret School only reinforced what I'd already pulled from the library's books.
