A LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENTDear Friends,

I am so proud to be a part of an organization in which the missiondrives the day-to-day operations. This Annual Report from

June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012 is a snapshot of our daily work. Themembers are especially proud to be recognized for the second time as aBetter Business Bureau Torch Award Honoree formarketplace ethics and transparency. The chapter was also named for asecond time an Organization of Noteworthy Excellence as measured bythe Malcolm Baldridge criteria for business practices.

Looking at our local chapter using the lens of history shows a steepgrowth trajectory since our beginning in 1998. Membership and rev-enue increases provided the stimulus to expand the number of agen-cies with which we formed collaborative partnerships. This growthincreased the number of individuals impacted in our community byAssistance League.

-tainable. Following our mission, each and every commitment made toschool districts, hospitals, shelters, colleges, universities and agencieswas honored. This decision required $19,000 from savings be used tomeet the number of clients for which we promised to provideassistance.

Planning for the future and the increasing needs of the communityspent on each client while maintaining the same number of clients.

Your continued support as a donor and/or community volunteer iscritical to Assistance League. Please know that your support makes ourcommunity stronger and will reach those in greatest need.

Warm regards,

Diana Haskell

_____________________________College Starter Kits Program

The many and mounting costs of

receiving a college education can beoverwhelming to a student who hasthe motivation to achieve, but not thefunds to provide all that is needed. Inthis program, Assistance League workswith college counselors who have iden-notebooks, etc. are packed throughoutthe summer and distributed to studentsin 6 area colleges.

The Starter Kits Program gives ourstudents a quick boost to beginningtheir collegiate career. Many have

the starter kits help to defer the initialexpenses of college. What a

wonderful way to welcome students tocollege life!

The Starter Kits Program lets the

students know that someone cares thathey are successful. The thought thatis given to the contents of the Starter

Kits is a true expression of the missionof Assistance League. I hope the AL
