Rutledge has changed as well as we have grown in services, staff, locations, reputation, and lives impacted. From our origins as a residential program for teenage boys only we have evolved to serve more than 212 youth and families in the past year. Our programs of Transitional Living, Foster Care, Independent Living, Differential Response, System of Care, Achieving Academic Success, Youth Counseling & Advocacy, and Reunification now serve young men and women, ages 0 – 21 in variety of settings. A few things that haven’t changed: The commitment of our Board of Directors and Staff to delivering needed, supportive, and productive services to the abused/neglected youth of our community. The support of our donors, vendors, families, and collateral is critical to our mission and the continued development of our Agency. Thanks all of you who helped us facilitate this success since 1952. They turn to us…….we turn to you. In service, Martin L. Michelson Executive Director Rutledge Youth Foundation 2012 Annual Report Presented September 19, 2012 2011 Annual Meeting The RYF 2011 annual meeting was held on October 19, 2011 at the RYF administration building, 931 North Rutledge Street in Springfield.

Board Changes in FY 2012 Several new members joined the Board this year: Mary Keen, Department of Veterans’ Affairs; and Michelle Sorenson, Community Volunteer. We also regretfully said farewell to the following Board Member: Susan Wallace of Wells Fargo. Community GiftsUNITED WAY: The 2011 United Way Campaign was again successful. The Youth Counseling and Advocacy program was funded again for $54,260 via the Essential Services of the Community Fund. We were also funded $40,000 for our Achieving Academic Success program for the second year via the Lifelong Learning Initiative. The United Way Day of Action again sent crews throughout the city to work on projects with various agencies. Volunteers spent a day at RYF cleaning and painting bedrooms and hallways at the Miller Street Group Home. United Community Bank in Chatham hosted a Casual for a Cause day and we were the beneficiary. Special thanks to Board member Janelle Kirby for facilitating this. Capitol Strategies Inc. held a Casino Night in November and presented us with the proceeds and several gifts. Lincolnland Community College’s annual Chickfest benefited several charities, including RYF. Walmart # 1602 continued to support us in many ways including: in kind donations for the Halloween and Holiday parties, supplies and door prizes for the Nightcrawler 5K, and a Gold Harley sponsorship. They also honored us as special guests at the Grand Opening of their remodeled store at Parkway Pointe. The Central Illinois Community Blood Center twice “adopted” us for a day to allow us to promote our programs and events. Special thanks to former Board member Amy Friedman for coordinating this.   The Rotary Club of Springfield again supported us with funds from their annual citrus sale. They also sponsored our annual Angel tree which assured that each child received a Christmas gift from Santa.
