DAYMARK D IGEST
A W O R D F R O M O U R C H A I R M A N , A L L I S O N B A L L A R D
I’ve always believed that giving
back to the community is a re-
sponsibility, a duty, of all citizens.
Every not-for-profit organization
in our community is different, but
every one of them share the
common need of drawing upon
the talents of citizens to help the
organization meet its goals and
objectives. Community ser-
vice is a two-way street how-
ever, as I’ve also found that I
also learn as much from my
experiences as I give in ser-
vice.
Such is the way with my in-
volvement with the Daymark,
Inc. board. I’ve been a board
member for about 5 years
now, and it is amazing how
each year brings new chal-
lenges and opportunities.

We are a very active board,
with regular monthly meetings
in addition to several commit-
tees that meet relatively fre-
quently. Some of our issues
are common to other not-for-
profit organizations, such as
funding concerns, but some
are unique with respect to the
nature of the services we
provide to youth.
Our board members have very
diverse backgrounds, includ-
ing lawyers, financial advisors
and accountants, and former
social services workers.
Therefore, our discussions of
issues encompass all aspects
as they would affect the or-
ganization. We also have
youth members on our board,
who can bring a different per-
spective of those we strive to
serve.
One of the most rewarding
parts of our board meetings
include when we have the
opportunity to interact with
some of the youth in our pro-
grams, who come and tell us
their story about how Day-
mark’s programs have im-
pacted their lives. Such ex-
periences help us as board
members and volunteers see
the fruits of our efforts, and
continue to reinforce our com-
mitment to helping the organi-
zation meet its objectives.
Another aspect of being in-
volved with the Daymark
Board is the ability to interact
with the Daymark staff. They
are all so wonderful and car-
ing, and they work so hard to
help the youth, it is truly a
pleasure to help them do
what they do.
As the current Board Chairper-
son of Daymark, I would like
to thank all of our board
members for their time and
efforts, thank all our staff for
their commitment to serving
youth through Daymark’s
programs, and thank all our
sponsors and donors for their
continued support.

along doorways and some
walls.
These wonderful workers
arrived at 9:30 and painted
steadily until after 4pm that
day. The age range was from
11 years old to 60.. They did a
fantastic job and were enthu-
siastic and ready to go. DAY-
MARK provided snacks and
drinks for the volunteers.
Many asked about DAYMARK
services and spoke with the
youth who are residing at
Patchwork. Some Turning
Point and Patchwork youth
and staff had prepared for the
day by taping all the areas to
be painted. (That was also a
big job!)
Thanks to everyone who
helped with the Patchwork
Spring Spruce Up project!
Pictures of the Service Sun-
day are on page 4.
River Ridge Church contacted
Programs Director Dana Cut-
lip in January about a project
at one of the DAYMARK facili-
ties. After some planning, the
congregation decided that
instead of having Sunday
service at their church on
April 6, they would have Ser-
vice Sunday at Patchwork.
About twenty people came to
Patchwork and painted the
entry/dining room, stairwells
from the first to third floors,
the youth lounge, hallways on
the second and third floors,
all of the youth bedrooms, the
third floor bathroom, and trim
“One of the most
rewarding parts of our
board meetings include
when we have the
opportunity to interact
with some of the youth
in our programs, who
come and tell us their
story about how
Daymark’s programs
have impacted their
lives.”
