Sincerely,

Dear Non-Profit,

I am amazed we are already into our third month, how time flies! I am so thrilled

that this new community magazine has been given such a great welcome into

Kansas City.

Over the past four months my eyes have been opened to the non-profit world.

I have met with large and small non-profits and no matter the size they all have

one major thing in common; they all have an unwavering passion for helping

others. They put in long hours of hard work doing everything in their power even if it means reaching just

one person. I believe that their exemplary achievements truly show how generous we are and that there are

so many positive influences surrounding us.

This March we welcome two new members to our family, Girl Inc and Folds of Honor. Two very different or-

ganizations from size to years in existence, they share a common goal, helping children succeed. We have

also started a new column titled “Dear Amy”. Amy’s column will be devoted to answering family related

questions.

As always, thank you for your continued support. If you have story ideas or know of a non profit that should

be included, please don’t hesitate to write me! If you’re on Facebook “like” our page!

Have a wonderful March everyone and I hope to hear from you soon.

Your Friend,

Sharna RittmasterContributing EditorPh: [email protected]

We look forward to working with more nonprofits so if you're affiliated with one or know of a great

one please contact us! We would love to meet with them!

Wishing you all a wonderful March!

With kindness,

Amy MichaelPublisher

Irish in Kansas City since the 1800’s? Why, yes, there have been Irish

here for over a hundred years. And with Irish people come Irish tra-

ditions, namely (and timely for March), St. Patrick’s Day. March 17

has become a day during which everyone is a wee bit Irish. We wear

green, don shamrocks, and talk of leprechauns guarding their pots

o’ gold at the end of the rainbow. One of our local traditions is the

St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The original Kansas City parade had about

a 20-year run in the late 1800’s but died out in the 1890’s. The mod-

ern version began March 17, 1973, (100 years after the first Kansas

City St. Patrick’s Day Parade) when Patrick O’Neill, Jr., the son of one

of the original parade initiators, decided it was time to restart the

tradition. Ac-

cording to

O’Neill, what

began as a

drunken pub-

licity stunt for

their friend’s

bar turned

into a multi-block parade which evolved into years of floats and march-

ing bands. The parade now raises money for Harvesters and holds

a contest for the best float or marching group in a variety of cate-

gories: family, band, business, drill team, media, organization,

trade, and school.

One lucky organization that has triumphed several times (and hopes

to win again this year) is the Harp and Shamrock, the Bob Reeder

Fan Club. Bob Reeder, a KC local, is an exceptional entertainer of Irish

descent who captivates his audience with various instruments and

a humorous combination of wit, sing-a-longs, ballads, and limericks.

His fans wanted to form a fan club but the humble Bob insisted they

use the club for a good cause to primarily benefit children. In Au-

gust 1997, to hon-

or his wishes, the

charter members

put together their

plan to “help oth-

ers through the gift

of Irish Music,” or

more specifically, to

help children hear. The money they raise through parade float

contest wins and booths at a variety of fairs mainly goes to

the Hearing Aid Fund at the Children’s Mercy Hospital Hear-

ing and Speech Clinic. Over 150 children have received hear-

ing aids through their hard work and dedication. Linda En-

low, the current president of the club, tells of the wonder-

ful camaraderie involved in the planning of events and pa-

rade floats. They get together weeks ahead of the parades

to design and build floats and friendships. Everyone is invited

to join them on the parade route, from the children at the

speech clinic to parents to volunteers, as it winds through

town. Occasionally, the club receives thank you notes from

recipients. One that Linda recalls with fondness thanked them

for giving her the chance to finally hear her mom say, “I Love

You.”

I expect to see lots of you out watching the parade this year

on Sunday, March 17, dressed in your green and sham-

rocks!!

For more in depth information, I strongly urge you to check

Spring has almost arrived and another season is upon us.March is a wonderful month to get ready to go back out-side and move. The best reminder of the season changingis the weather warming up. After being inside all winter longwe need to assess if we are able to do the same activitiesas we did the previous year. We all have the same idea inour head that we are going to be able to perform daily tasks.Some of us even play in the same sporting events that weonce participated in when a younger. I hear it all the timefrom everyone that when they were younger they could dothis and do that without any problems. The activity is nota question but being able to have enough energy might seemto become the challenge. So my question this month is howdo you improve your nutrition?

March is National Nutrition Month. This is a very importanttopic for all of us. We all eat so how could it not be important.The quality of our nutritional guidelines in America has thewrong education for our citizens. Our society is now beingbombarded with so many unhealthy options that it is hardto find healthy options when out and about the city. Whatwe need to do is make sure we have the right informationwhen it comes to healthy eating and making smart choic-es. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention give usthe following facts. “More than one-third of U.S. adults (over72 million people) and 17% of U.S. children are obese. Dur-ing 1980–2008, obesity rates doubled for adults andtripled for children. During the past several decades, obe-sity rates for all population groups—regardless of age, sex,race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, education level, or ge-ographic region—have increased markedly.”

Nutrition by definition is the process of providing or obtainingthe food necessary for health and growth. Over the yearswe have overwhelmed ourselves with the bigger is bettermotto. Unfortunately bigger meals mean bigger bodies. Thecalories (units of energy) we consume have grown over theyears to almost triple the amount per individual. No won-der our waistlines have grown over the years by eating somuch. Here are some helpful tips that can keep you fromgaining those extra calories and keeping your meal portionsmaller.

1) Drink a glass of water before you eat. We confuse hungerwith cravings with dehydration. This will fill your stom-ach and aid in the digestion of your food.

2) Eat only half of what is on your plate and save the restfor a later meal. We consume so many calories at one time

that we are not hungry for hours. Your goal should be toeat every 2-3 hours by eating smaller meals over that pe-riod of time.

3) Add extra vegetables to your meals. The average personin the Midwest eats only 2 servings of veggies per day.Strive to eat at least 8-12 servings per day to get plen-ty of nutrients.

4)The most important tip is to keep a food journal. My clientsthat do this learn the proper way of eating after under-standing what their current habits are when tracking.

Remember the saying “through the lips to the hips” holdstrue to the day as we eat our meals. Make sure to makehealthy choices and plan your meals ahead of time. Mak-ing the effort to plan your meals makes you successful andcan save you money. What better than to look great andfeel great just by eating healthier. I tell my clients to packa lunch and send snacks to the office to stay ahead of thegame. There are no excuses when it comes to your healthand your meals!

Homelessness is quickly becoming an issue in Johnson County, which isthe richest county in Kansas. However, most don’t realize this because theface of homelessness looks different than we expect. In 2011, officials saidthere were 2,255 homeless families in Johnson County. They are amongthe 36,000 residents in the county who live in poverty. For a family of four,that means living on an annual income of less than $22,000. Another re-ality is that 70% of those seeking help from places like Hillcrest are work-ing at least 30 hours a week. Johnson County’s six school districts identified902 homeless students in the 2010-2011 school year. Hillcrest TransitionalHousing wants to help these families and students move to self-sufficiency,so we are expanding our Kansas affiliate into Johnson County. We are inthe beginning stages of purchasing propertyand will begin serving homelessfamilies there later this year.

HillcrestTransitional Hous-ing is a hand up, not ahand out. Hillcrest’s ac-complishments are bestseen through our 95%success rate of transi-tioning families to self-sufficiency. I invite you tolearn more about Hill-crest Transitional Housingand how you can helphomeless families andteens by visiting our web-site at www.hillcresttran-sitionalhousing.org. We’realso on Facebook at www.face-book.com/Hillcrestof Kansas. Ialso invite you to join us for our an-nualWalk for the Homeless on Sat-urday, May 18th at 7:00am atTown Center Plaza inLeawood!

In the early 1970’s, Ben and Patsy Belzer owned a very prosper-ous business that quickly suffered from huge losses and forcedthem into 14 months of unemployment.Through the concern ofthe local community, they were able to return to a productivelife. The Belzers were moved to action from their own personalexperience and wanted to start an organization to offer a long-term solution to the growing number of homeless families inour communities.They established Hillcrest Ministries in Liberty,

MO and after months of planning and fundraising, the first familiesmoved into the original Hillcrest housing facility in 1976. Hillcrest Transi-tional Housing, as it is now called, is a 501c3 non-profit organization withfive affiliates providing transitional housing programs in Buchanan, Clay,Eastern Jackson & Platte Counties, and inWyandotte and Johnson Coun-ties in Kansas.

Hillcrest Transitional Housing offers displaced families and teens a disci-plined, educational program within a caring “tough love” environment.Unlike many organizations whose focus is immediate or emergency care,our objective is to move families and teens from homelessness to self-suf-ficiency by addressing the total life situation of the people we serve. In ex-change for rent/utility-free housing, residents are required to work full-time, obey the program guidelines, and attend classes in life skills,employment, community living, and budgeting. In addition to housing andlife-skills counseling, Hillcrest provides the following through a networkof community support: auto repair/donation, on-site food pantries, med-ical assistance, dental work, GED classes, haircuts, glasses, school clothes,work uniforms, etc.

At any given time, 21 families participate in the 90 day program at ourKansas affiliate, and an additional six families live in our graduate apart-ments. In addition, Hillcrest of Kansas is the only affiliate that serveshomeless youth, with 10 apartments specifically for teens. The primarydifference in the teen program is that they can stay for up to 21 monthswhile they attend school and work part-time.

Calling all former Bigs, Littles and Supporters – we want to reconnect. It is important to let all mentoring-minded people know how much they matter. Across the nation, Big Brothers Big Sisters is reconnecting with alumni Bigs, Littles, donors, staff and board members. We want to take a lead role in this initiative here in Kansas City by calling on the residents of KC to recon-nect with us. There are thousands of people in our city that have at some point in their life been a “Big”, a “Little” or a supporter. It may have been years ago, but it’s safe to say that the impact you made has lasted through the years. By reconnecting with Big Brothers Big Sisters in our Alumni program you will have the opportunity to see how mentoring is still changing children’s lives in KC. This is your opportunity to network with other alumni, current volunteers and supporters and perhaps even reunite with your former Little Brother or Little Sister.

Youth served by the organization are largely those of single, low-income or incarcerated parents. Longstanding independent research and BBBS Youth Outcomes Survey™ results find children enrolled in Big Brothers Big Sisters improve in areas such as school, behavior and self-esteem.

Today, as Big Brothers Big Sisters embarks on a nationwide search to reunite with former Bigs, Littles, donors, staff and board members, I encourage you to ask friends and family once involved to reconnect with us. And if you are the person with whom we have lost contact, we believe now is a perfect time to reconnect. Visit www.reunitenow.org.

March is designated by the National Association of Music Education as “Music In Our Schools Month.” It’s an important time of

year as schools across the nation celebrate with advo-

cacy for music education.

So, in a time when many school districts are choosing whether to continue funding music programs or not, it is important to demonstrate why we must provide music educa-tion in our schools today and how we ensure its place for tomorrow.

Firstly, I believe music education is important for teaching children how to think and work creatively. So much of what students do in school today involves rote memorization, filling in the blanks, and reciting back to the teacher information from the previ-ous day’s lecture. While these strate-gies help students acquire the infor-mation needed to pass standardized and college entrance exams, they do not engage students in creative thinking.

Why is creative thinking important?

We are entering a time in history when the economy is based more and more on creative type jobs. From marketing, to design, to technology, jobs in these areas require skills that are far beyond data processing and answering phones. They require skills for adapting and collaborating in different work environments. They need problem solvers and critical thinkers.

Fortunately, students easily acquire these skills through music. Students collaborate with peers and teachers within their school ensembles, work-ing towards common performance goals. Using problem-solving skills, they discover there is more than one

right way to phrase a melody or to finger a difficult passage. They must also make on-the-spot critical judge-ments in practicing and performing with regard to pitch, tone, phrasing, and other musical aspects.

Secondly, I believe music education is important because it provides natu-rally creative and musical children a place to explore, thrive, and ultimately, be happy. The theory of multiple intelligences says there exists, alongside mathematical and kinesthetic intelligences, a musical intelligence. These music-minded students are more sensitive to meter, pitch, and melody and are usually enrolled in several different music classes at once.

Music is the most important part of their day, and, for some, the only reason they come to school. Because they come to school to engage in music, they are also more likely to stay in school and to achieve more in their other non-music classes. There-fore, these students, as much as any other, deserve a place in school that fosters and cultivates their unique talents.

Lastly, I believe music education is important because it is fun. When I tell people I’m an orchestra teacher, I frequently hear nostalgic stories such as being in the marching band as a clarinetist: “Marching on the field at football games gave me such a rush!”; or singing soprano in the choir: “I got to sing the Star-Spangled Banner at one of the playoff basketba l l

games!”; or playing viola in the orchestra: “I was the only one in my section so I got to play the solo.”

These memories and experiences are told with smiles and a sense of senti-mental recollection I seldom hear about other teenage experiences. Music has this emotional impact on people’s lives because, at its core, it unites people. Regardless of age, background, and life experience, music transcends many of life’s obstacles to help people live happier and healthier lives.

Bio:Adam Keda is currently the director of orchestras at Blue Valley West and Blue Valley Southwest High Schools in Overland Park, KS. He was gradu-ated from the Teachers College at Columbia University in New York City with a Master of Arts in music educa-tion. He is also an active cellist as one of the found-ing members of the Kansas City based Ad Astra String Quartet.

Membership Sponsored by:

What is your mission?Folds of Honor is rallying a nation to ensure no family gets left

behind in the fight to preserve American freedom. Through schol-

arships, we're giving back to the spouses and children of soldiers

killed or disabled in service to our country. We're providing heal-

ing, hope and an opportunity to realize their dreams with the

help of people like you. This is our mission.

What kind of Volunteer opportunities do you have?How can someone get involved?Volunteer opportunities will vary during the year. The time that

we need the most volunteers is in conjunction with Patriot Golf

Day which is held over the Labor Day weekend in the Kansas City

area. More information is available at www.foldsofhonor.org

and click on the “Patriot Golf Day” tab.

If you have an interest in Patriot Golf Day or the Folds of Honor

Foundation, please direct your request to [email protected].

Specifically, who/how do you help the community?The Folds of Honor Foundation provides post-secondary educational

scholarships for children and spouses of military service men and

women killed or disabled while serving our great nation. To date,

over 3,800 scholarships have been awarded through the Folds of

Honor to recipients in all 50 states. There are currently more than

one million dependents of military service men and women, 85%

of whom do not qualify for educational assistance.

Could you tell a short story of someone you have helped? It was a normal day on October 3rd, 2003 when, Kansas City, Kansas

native, Captain Charles K. Bartles was traveling back in a two ve-

hicle convoy from what was supposed to be a meeting with a lo-

cal official. The road they were traveling was traveled everyday so

Captain Bartles had confidence in their route. Two other soldiers

were inside the Humvee as Captain Bartles was on the M-249 au-

tomatic machine gun. The Humvee was struck by two 152mm ar-

tillery shells that were detonated by an insurgent as the troops drove

by. One soldier died, another and Captain Bartles survived with

schrapnel wounds. Captain Bartles right harm was nearly ampu-

tated in the blast and subsequently was amputated at the Inten-

sive Care Hospital at Balad. On July 22, 2004 Captain Bartles was

deemed fit for duty by an Army medical evaluation board making

him the first upper extremity amputee to be returned to duty since

the Vietnam era. His wife Polina, who he met while in Uzbekistan,

is a Folds of Honor Immediate-Use Scholarship recipient using her

scholarship to complete a degree from Kansas City Kansas Com-

munity College.

Any upcoming events?Patriot Golf Day is the flagship fundraiser for the Folds of Hon-

or Foundation. On Labor Day weekend, golfers across the coun-

try are asked to add an extra dollar to their greens fees and/or

offer a straight donation to fund Folds of Honor scholarships.

Patriot Golf Day is jointly supported by The PGA of America

and the United States Golf Association. The inaugural Patri-

ot Golf Day in 2007 was started by Major Dan Rooney, Founder

of the Folds of Honor Foundation, F-16 Pilot, PGA Professional,

and USGA member. On that Labor Day, Rooney asked golfers

to add $1 to their greens fees. His request resulted in dona-

tions of more than $1.1 million from more than 3,200 golf fa-

cilities. In the last six years, golfers nationwide have been in-

strumental in raising more than $17.1 million through Patri-

ot Golf Day events resulting in over 3,800 recipients in all 50

states and 41 PGA sections.

Please visit foldsofhonor.org to learn more on this initiative

and the many other ways to become involved with the Folds

of Honor.

If you could thank one person/business in the com-munity that has shown that they CARE, who would itbe and why?Mr. Louis Faller and Superior Buick Cadillac have been extremely

instrumental in spreading the Folds of Honor mission in the

Greater Kansas City area. Through a variety of initiatives, Mr.

Faller and his team have helped promote the Folds of Honor

to their customers and continually opened doors to other in-

dustry partners, both in the Kansas City area and nationally.

He has helped promote our cause to the Hendrick family and

the General Motors corporate office. The company also

sponsors the Midwest Classic, which is an annual golf tour-

nament benefiting the Foundation.

Superior Buick Cadillac also provides the Folds of Honor over

$30,000 annually, contributing to six scholarships in the

Greater Kansas City area. Mr. Faller, thank you for your con-

tinued support & patriotism.

It starts with an idea. Soon that idea becomes a dream. Then, one day that dream meets opportunity. So it is for entrepreneurs. Do you think you have what it takes to suc-ceed as an entrepreneur?

If you are like many, business owner-ship is an idea you have flirted with over time. The thought of owning your own business, controlling your own destiny, making decisions and charting your own path is very com-pelling. Whether it is spending time doing something you are passionate about or finding a way to supple-ment your income, entrepreneurship is a valid option when it comes to pursuing your dream and, in today’s high-tech, high-speed world, there has never been a better time to consider business ownership.

Hands-on learning experiences can help to put you in the right frame of mind within the right framework to start a successful business. That’s where programs like FastTrac® Tech-Venture™ come in. The FastTrac TechVenture program is a flexible course designed to give technology or science-based entrepreneurs a framework to help grow great ideas into the next great innovation. Whether yours is a ground-breaking scientific discovery, a time-saving app or a new medical device, FastTrac TechVenture can provide the direction to move your idea to fruition.

Each 30-hour in-person program is taught over the course of several weeks and provides entrepreneurs the knowledge they need to tackle important challenges such as protecting intellectual property and securing financing. In a FastTrac TechVenture course, you’ll also learn to:

Explore issues specific to technol-ogy and science-based markets and your business.

Determine and create a minimum viable product.

Develop a lean business model approach.

Test your product/service, customer base, financial and technological viability.

Formulate a market penetration plan.

Communicate effectively with various audiences by mastering the essentials of financial statements, forecasts and ratios.

Create an organization and com-pensation plan to help you recruit and retain top talent.

Learn how to value your business and raise money from funding sources. (Overall, FastTrac TechVen-ture participants have raised more than $400 million in funding for their businesses.)

Identify administrative policies to control business operations.

Perhaps one of the biggest benefits in attending a FastTrac TechVenture course is the connections you will make. Building a strong, robust and diverse network is an important step in your entrepreneurial journey. You will have the opportunity to interact with your course facilitator as well as fellow participants. Additionally, a guest speaker is invited to each session. Each guest speaker is a subject matter expert on the topic at hand who will not only help you understand the material but also serve as a long-term resource and member of your professional network. That is a win for everyone.

I encourage you to take the next step. Let your someday be today. Let Kauffman FastTrac show you the way.

Meet Bob Schluben, police officer of 22-years, father of two and avid runner. He’s been a responding police officer, a detective and currently serves as Master Police Officer with the Patrol Division of the City of Lenexa Police Department.

Schluben is passionate about his job, his family, running and, most importantly, passionate about helping those who cannot help themselves. This passion is what led him to Sunflower House: a child-abuse-prevention and child-advocacy agency based in Shawnee, KS.

“Sunflower House is an excellent organization that provides a valuable service to our community. Law enforcement agencies in both Wyandotte and Johnson Counties partner with Sunflower House when there is a report of child abuse. Sunflower House serves as an advocate for those children, provides forensic and medical services and educates the community to help stop child abuse,” says Schluben.

In December, Schluben came to Sunflower House with an almost unbelievable fundraising concept. As an avid runner, Schluben thought to use his talent, determination and will to raise funds for Sunflower House by running 52-marathons in 52-weeks to gain publicity and donations in support of victims of child abuse in our area.

Schluben’s plan is to run one marathon each weekend for one year, focusing on finding races as close to Kansas as possible. However, he realizes he will be doing a lot of traveling throughout the year. While some marathons have been willing to waive his entry fee, knowing of his fundraising aspirations, most are not and he must pay entry fees as well as travel costs for each race he runs – even resorting to sleeping in his car to save money. He’s created a web site where people and/or com-panies may go to donate money to Sunflower House. Schluben won’t receive any of the funds – he’s just there to provide a promotional tool to raise awareness for the organization.

Throughout his years on the police force, Schluben has handled many child-abuse cases and witnessed how destructive and heartbreaking it is for those involved. “Child abuse is at epidemic proportions in the United States. And, that’s just not acceptable. Law enforcement and the community both

need to do whatever we can to take care of our children,” comments Schluben. “This is my way of giving back. I know the community and corporate citizens will partner with me because that’s the way we roll in this community. Children without a voice need us, so we must answer the call!”

To support Bob Schluben and his amazing philanthropic venture, please visit his website at www.bobschluben.com. From that website, visitors can see his race schedule, read about his background and donate directly to his cause to support victims of child abuse through Sunflower House.

The Sunflower House Valentine Gala has been a premier fundraising

gala in the Kansas City community for 31 years. This year’s event was

no exception! More than 400 local child advocates gathered February 2

at the Overland Park Sheraton to show their support of child victims of

abuse and the services the Sunflower House provides. The event’s

chairs, Bryan and Jeni Camerlinck, pulled out all the stops contributing

to the Gala’s most successful year to date. The evening’s festivities

raised $230,000 to support the child abuse advocacy and preven-

tion programs at Sunflower House.

A highlight of the evening included the awarding of Sunflower House’s

Lionheart Award to an incredibly deserving, yet humble Sunflower

House volunteer and advocate for victims of child abuse, Mitch Steven-

son. The award is given out annually at the Valentine Gala to recognize

an individual who has demonstrated a “lion’s heart” for children through

dedicated service to Sunflower House.

Thank you to our gracious Chairs Bryan and Jeni Camerlinck and Hon-

orary Chairs Senior Master Patrolman Pete and Detective Vickie

Fogarty. All of your hard work has paid off!

M any children in the Kansas City Metro area have that same dream. Emily Silverman did and was able to take dance classes during her childhood. She realized that not all children could afford to dance. She had big plans to offer dance to children with limited opportunities. Emily was unable to follow through with her dream when a car accident cut her life short. Her family continued her dream by creating Em’s Spotlight.

For the past 10 years Em’s Spotlight makes those dreams a reality for families of limited means. Serving over 600 people a year through 7 programs, Em’s Spot-light provides, exercise, creativity, exposure to the arts, a boost to self esteem, and maybe most importantly, fun, free of charge.

Dancing through the SummerFree dance lessons for urban core children held during their school day at the sum-mer school they attend. This includes 16 dance lessons, drinks, dance wear, cos-tumes and recital.

Dance Attire Loan ProgramAny individual who is in any dance class may borrow free of charge dance shoes, attire or equipment to help keep the cost of dance down. We also serve schools and church groups.

The excitement in the dancer’s eyes, the confidence in their dancing, the pride they exhibit while they perform for their families all confirm the volunteer hours, the time spent on costumes and dance lessons is well worth the effort.

If you would like to help fulfill the dreams, you may visit www.emsspotlight.org. We not only accept monetary donations but also donations of used dance attire and costumes. You may contact Vicki Silverman, the director, at [email protected] or 816-929-1117.

Dancing After SchoolDance classes held at the child’s after school care facility. This gives our dancers a way to creatively expel that “stored up” energy and helps them settle down for their tutoring ses-sions that follow.

Classes for Adults withSpecial NeedsDance classes held weekly for adults with developmental disabilities.

Struttin’ SeniorsDance classes held at an inner city adult senior center. One class is for mobile seniors and the second class is a chair tap dance class for those adults who are not steady on their feet.

Classes for Children with Special NeedsDance classes held during the school year for children with spe-cial needs held at their school. This includes a recital for parents in De-cember and performance for stu-dent body in May.

Scholarships: Scholarship FundDance scholarship for children with a real interest in dance, but from a household with limited funds. Children attend dance classes through a studio convenient to the family with the dance studio donating 1/3 of the cost, Em’s Spot-light paying 1/3 and the family paying the last third. These dancers most often receive dance attire they need for class through Em’s Spotlight’s Dance Attire Loan Program. Of-fered as funds are available.

Kansas City Metro CARES

MembershipCo-Sponsored by:

Nancy O’Reilly

What is your mission?

Our mission is to enhance and develop life skills for girls and young adults through curriculum-based interactive programs that include financial literacy, leadership, decision making, goal setting, self empowerment, ACT prep, STEM, college/job readiness, health and wellness and community involvement.

What kind of Volunteer opportunities do you have? How can someone get involved?

We have a team of wonderful women and other individuals with a passion for life, love, giving and education. Our simple vision of community is to create a diverse synergy of life skills and expectations for our young ladies of tomorrow. The goals are to be the hands, feet, eyes and heart for others that we encounter within our schools.

Opportunities include: Capital Campaign (fund raising), In-School Involvement and Community OutreachFor more information, [email protected]

Specifically, who/how do you help the community?

We work with k-12 grade students in the Urban Core of the Greater Kansas City area; focusing on school enrich-ment throughout the year. Our schools that we engage are both Charter Schools and the Kansas City Missouri School District. Although there are many core compe-tencies that are a must such as those listed above, it is important that we keep our curriculum and outlook fluid in nature. This allows for student engagement which contributes to the overall success of comprehen-sive learning. Teaching our ladies what it means to iden-tify with “self” is a strong component that carries on throughout their academic life.

Could you tell a short story of someone you have helped?

Because our canvas requires a broad brush stroke we can share many stories on topics that include: teen mom assistance, community giving, domestic violence/abuse and helping grieving children. Our reality is, everyone has a story, and our hope is that the outcome of our stories all end on a positive note. Wishful thinking or is this unrealistic? It only is when you don’t have HEART…

It is hard for us to list and/or boast about our organiza-tion. The reality is everything that we do is from the heart. We not only focus on our students but also help-ing families through buying groceries, clothing, shoes, toys and paying bills; with no strings attached. It is sincere, it is, there is that word again, from our hearts.

Journaling allows us to connect with students that may not express themselves verbally. Through journaling we were able to identify personal issues that required counseling. This allowed for us to give treatment to young ladies that have been emotionally and physically violated, dealing with grief and students trying to sift through low self-esteem. Those are just some of the things.

Here is a taste of the things that happen in a given school year:One day a young lady spent an entire day at school learning and growing. At the end of school she expressed to us that her brother passed away that day. She didn’t know how to express her feeling but knew who she could speak with; this is why we do what we do. We are a tool an extra hand that the school can utilize to reach their students.

Our weather in the Greater Kansas City area is question-able. Some of our students are not adequately ready for some of our cold winter days. We provided winter coats to those in need of a coat that consisted of more than a light jacket with a hood. The expression on the schools face is priceless.

We are grateful for the opportunity that our school gives us to serve.

If you could thank one person/business in the commu-nity that has shown that they CARE, who would it be and why?

We want to thank every school teacher, school principal, school counselor, school administrator and all that are involved in our students/communities life. Your work is hard and doesn’t go unnoticed.

Any upcoming events?

GiRL Inc. is involved in the schools on a bi-weekly basis with various programs. You are more than welcome to join us, please check out our schedule at: www.girlkc.com/events.

Blue Valley North Active Kay Clubby Sakshi Mahajan

Olathe's Martin Luther King, Jr. Contest

My name is Sakshi Mahajan and I’m a junior at BlueValley North, but more importantly, a member of BlueValley North’s Kay Club. This club is more than a clubfor me because of the huge impact that it has had onmy life. The variety of fundraisers that we organize isone of the reasons that this club is so special. This year,we have done everything from making dog blanketsfor local dog shelters, to helping schools in third worldcountries. Our world fundraiser was through an or-ganization called School to School – India which worksto promote literacy in less developed countries by

a d o p t i n gschools inthese coun-tries. North dida fundraiser inwhich weraised aware-ness of the

lack of education in Indian villages, and raised fundsto promote literacy in a small Indian village. Thisfundraiser was unlike any other because it gave us abetter perspective on the way other people areforced to live and made us realize how blessed we are

to be partof the BlueV a l l e ySchool Dis-trict.

Apart fromthe worldfundraiser,we have participated in many other fundraisers aswell. One of our biggest causes is the JohnsonCounty Christmas Bureau. We have worked with thischarity for years, doing everything from volunteer-ing at the center to participating in coat drives. Thisorganization takes in over 10,000 families through-out the holidays and provides them with food, books,clothes, and more. It is a wonderful way to give backduring the holidays.

Throughout the year we participate in a variety ofcharity events including charity walks like Light theNight and Helen Gold. An event that we host yearlyis Mid-America Games, a time when kids with dis-abilities get the chance to participate in sports.

My name is Claire. I go to Pioneer Trail Middle School in Olathe. Every year

we have a contest celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. The contest has a

different theme each year. This year it was the injustice of silence.

We can make a multi-media or visual arts project, or write an essay. But

instead, I made a children’s book titled Cassie, the Courageous Kitty.

My book is about an old cat name Emmie, who gets stuck in a tree. The

“Bad Cats” walk by and start making fun of her. Little Cassie feels like

she needs to stop the bullying and tells the “Bad Cats” to quit. In the end,

all of the cats become friends. The story shows younger kids that no mat-

ter how young you are, you can always make a difference.

My favorite part about writing and illustrating this

book was learning more about different computer

software and being able to work on my drawing

while working on a school project.

I’m happy to participate in this contest and con-

tribute another award that future participants can

also win if they want to think outside the box.

This section is dedicated to our community ac-tive youth. I know that we have amazing chil-dren doing wonderful volunteer work here in KansasCity. I want to read about your rewarding ex-periences helping others! Send your stories tome at [email protected] by the 5th of everymonth as a word document of 200 words andplease include photos.

KC Metro CARES

Monthly Advice Column

I am thrilled to be a new member of the CARES family! My role willbe the “Dear Abby” of the group. A little about me…I am a singleMom of an amazing “one and only” little boy. I am also a Child andFamily therapist, specializing in counseling children ages 3-15. Issuesthat I work with include: Trauma (including physical, sexual andemotional abuse, domestic violence), divorce, impulse control (ADHD),social and self-esteem issues, and parenting skill training. Pleasesend your “Dear Amy” questions to [email protected]. Ques-tions can pertain to any facet of family life, parenting or child-relatedissues.

For now, enjoy my "Top 10 list" of simple ideas to keep your Familyhappy!

1. Have dinner together. Sitting down to dinner (sans TV) and shar-ing a meal is a wonderful way to bond and check-in with yourkids.

2. Have a Family meeting once per week. Everyone in the family (in-cluding the littlest ones) have a chance to bring up concerns thatoccurred during the week.

3. Catch your kiddos being good, and let them know! Focus onstrengths!

4. Spend quality time together (quality often trumps quantity).Quality time means being fully present with your children. Read,play outside, go for a walk, or have game night (one of our fa-vorites!).

5. Avoid overscheduling. I know this is a tough one ... but soccer,cheerleading and drum lessons all in the same week will lead toa meltdown for you, and your children! Families need chill time.

6. Have "black-out" time…you heard me, turn off the cell, TV,computers, iPads… whatever! Enjoy each other’s voices.

7. Create Family traditions (religious, or not) and rituals.

8. Don't argue in front of your children. Go outside, into anotherroom, table it for later!

9. Be consistent as much as possible, kids thrive on routine and con-sistency (with a pinch of flexibility).

10. This may not seem like a "Family" rule, but take time for your-self. If you are not happy (and relaxed), your children will not behappy and relaxed.

Okay, I know that I said it was a top 10 list...but I couldn't leave outthe importance of telling and showing your children that you lovethem!

I look forward to hearing from you!

providing

through audit

FinancialTranspa rency

It is critical that every organization choose howthey are going to handle financial reporting bothinternally and externally. Being transparent withfinancial information with your staff, board, andthose who support you is very important.

It is common practice for a board of directors to vol-

untarily an independent Certified Public Accountant

(CPA) to provide their professional opinion on the

financial position of the organization. This provides

a level of assurance about how the organization

ishandling the financial support it receives. This

commitment willspeak heavily to whoever may pro-

vide the financial support.

Board Approved:

A non-profit organization receiving funding from

a government agency has a fiduciary duty to

handle the funding appropriately. Non-profits

which receive over $500,000 of Federal grants,

either directly or indirectly through state or local

municipalities, are required to receive an audit

under Government Auditing Standards.

Government Required:

A non-profit which is hopeful to re-

ceive funding through a grant applica-

tion will need to consider the trans-

parency necessary to meet the

requirements of the financial supporter.

Generally, these grants have an audit

obligation.

Beneficiary of Grant:

26

In some cases, the founders of non-prof-

its may have a financial statement audit

requirement written into the bylaws dur-

ing formation. The founders of the or-

ganization may require this as a protection

to the organization after they are no

longer involved.

Bylaws:

Non-profits generally operate on lean budgets in order to provide maximum financial support to their

charitable mission. Due to limited resources, directors and staff members of these organ zations could

find themselves managing many responsibilities. In some cases, this may mean the director or a staff

member playing the role of accountant with no formal accounting training or background. With lim-

ited human resources, non-profits have a lot of expertise to gain through working with a CPA on a fi-

nancial statement audit. Keep in mind that your organization’s inteaction with its CPA should not be-

gin and end with the audit process. It is prudent to keep the relationship with your CPA open

throughout the year and not just during audit time.

More than an Audit:

A udit is a word that typically results in neg-ative feelings and we have all heard thehorror stories. All too often, these stories

are filled with negative consequences (or bad news).Let me introduce you to the “goodside” of doing an audit.

Non-profit organizations are kind-hearted and strongwilled to providea helping hand. Our local charitieshave many fantastic stories to share.

This good news would not be possible without financial sup-port. The monetary receipt of funding is only the beginning.In order to be successful in their precious missions, theremust be financial responsibility and accountability given backto supporters. The financial transparency gained through anaudit is a testament to the organization’s dedication to doingthings right. A lack of transparency can make or break thefuture funding of a nonprofit

Take the time to talk with a CPA and find outhow you and your organization can benefitfrom having a relationship with a CPA.

The Business of Giving BackWe can talk about two things: what we do or who we are. To us, those are one in the same; we can’t talk about business unless we also talk about passion, determination and community. This philosophy starts with our chairman, Rick Hendrick, who encourages everyone to think outside the box and incorporate charity into everything we do.

The charities we are most involved with weren’t picked with any corporate strategy in mind; rather, they chose us. We draw inspiration from the stories of those we help, and they drive us to be a better business.

One such charity is the Most Influential Women of the Year To Be scholarship we initiated in 2012, in partnership with the Kansas City Business Journal. Together we recognize the most influential women of our community and, in their name, select a student who has demonstrated the qualities necessary to be similarly successful. We reward their hard work and determination with a $1,300 scholarship.

We are also dedicated to Folds of Honor, an organization that recognizes the need for scholarship funds for families of injured and deceased military veterans. By partnering with the Kansas City Royals, we help those who have suffered unspeakable loss to move forward in life.
