Our new mission is to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of our communities n Northwest Georgia. Our vision is to be the preferred organization investing in programs to meet people’s needs based on community priorities. Marketing Plan In 2005 the United Way of Northwest Georgia began a marketing plan, to coordinate with our strategic plan, that would provide a road map to guide the organization’s marketing efforts into 2008. One of United Way’s continuing objectives is to make sure we stay attuned to ever-changing community needs and to make sure our programs and funding stay relevant in order to provide solutions. Our strategic planning process identified needs throughout our communities by gathering community input on opportunities for both United Way and the communities in which we serve. The marketing plan was devised to aid in accomplishing goals set by the strategic plan and to educate our communities on where their dollars make the most impact. To see a copy of our marketing plan visit www.ourunitedway.org/MarketingPlan.pdf.

In 2000, he established Make A Difference Day in Whitfield County bringing 150 area high school students together for special projects in the community each year.

Kids on the Block Puppeteers Puppeteers – Sue Boyd, Steve Bratton, Ross Jordan and Micheala Mendez-Scalf During the summer the puppeteers practice and attend camp in Tenn. They often spend 3-4 hours/week during the school year. Approximately 4,000 children see the Kids on the Block Show each year, helping them to learn to tell the person abusing them to “STOP”, then get away, and tell someone”. They also learn the child abuse is never the child’s fault. Second and Third Graders in Dalton, Murray and Whitfield County Schools are taught about child abuse at the Kids on the Block Puppet Shows. Many children disclose abuse or have questions about their personal safety. Although there is a script that has been learned and practice, individual expression of each puppeteer is evident. In the part of the program that allows the children to ask questions of the puppets, the puppeteers must be quickly creative with their answers. They have become quite skilled and spontaneous. The Kids on the Block Team is dedicated and passionate about teaching children in a highly effective way about preventing child abuse. Micheala was instrumental in obtaining a grant and other funds. Sue has dressed the puppets and Steve has built the backdrop. Ross has added sound equipment. All the time and travel is at the volunteers own expense and dedication. www.ourunitedway.org 15 2005 Highlights...what matters ® Youth Award Winners Individual Award Winners Jay Tripp - Westwood Elementary K-2 Elementary School Jay is the youngest volunteer at Ridgewood Manor Nursing Home. He became interested in volunteering when Ridgewood came to his school and visited his classroom. He told them he was going to have his dad bring him to visit, and true to his word, he came the next week. He has been volunteering with Ridgewood since September 2004, and his sweet smile and caring personality have truly been a blessing to all of the residents at Ridgewood. He brings flowers, decorates doors for the holidays and shares his day. He has even gotten his Cub Scout troop to visit. Many people cannot see the joy that comes from volunteering at a nursing home. They do not think about what wonderful lives the residents have lived. They have war heroes, teachers, textile workers, and homemakers. People who have made our country what it is today. This young man recognizes their value and brings respect and honor to their lives by visiting. Lydia Davis - Eastside Elementary 3rd-5th Elementary School Lydia is a special young lady.
