Accordingly, we have omitted the names of donors who have given only through the Combined Federal Campaign. We have taken great care to correctly list all donors. We apologize if your name has been listed incorrectly or omitted accidentally. Please contact us so we can correct our error. Dear Friends and Supporters, The majority of the women who come to Womanline for help with emotional problems have at some point in their lives been sexually abused—some as early as five years of age. There a very few more traumatic events in a child’s life than to be sexually abuse by someone she trusts—a parent, a relative, a coach, a teacher, etc.. The emotional stress caused by his abuse continues to affect women well into their adult years, often for a lifetime. Most survivors, as we call them, will need treatment over a long period of time. Sadly, most cannot afford that care. Treatment by private psychiatrists, psychologists, or counselors is very expensive. Very few of our clients have the insurance or personal wealth to pay for it. Sixty-seven percent of our clients this past year were divorced or single. These women earned an average of $9,700 a year. Women who were married and had dependents were worse off, living in a household with an average income of only $24,000. Although we have been able since September, 2009 to bill Medicaid and some insurance companies, many of our clients do not qualify under either. To make counseling affordable for these women, we adjust our fee. On the average, our clients pay less than 20% of the cost of an hour of counseling. Thank you. Most of the financial support for Womanline comes from individuals, corporate donors and foundations. All of these sources, on whom we have relied for years, are faced with the same economic facts: donors who have lost jobs or have less disposable income, fewer or smaller pledges, Ms. Beverly Jurick Mr. & Mrs. Douglas Kaminski Mr. & Mrs. J.

Leibold Mr. & Mrs. John Leiker Ms. Jackie Leskowich In the Fall of last year, we developed an aggressive business plan, setting out financial goals and strategies we believe will help us over the next several years weather the current economic storm, increase revenue from the services we provide, and meet the growing need in the community. The second part of that plan is keeping our costs as low possible while delivering the highest quality services to our clients. Six months into the plan, we are pleased with the progress we have made so far. A critical part of that plan, as you might expect, is to maintain the support of private donors. Without private support, we cannot make up the difference between our cost and the revenue we earn from client fees, insurance, and Medicaid. We know that throughout the year our donors receive many requests from deserving charities—charities that are an important part of a network essential to the health and welfare of the community—faced with the same financial challenge as we. We are proud to know that you count Womanline among the agencies worthy of your support. Without the financial support provided by our donors, these women would not get the help they need.

FORTIETH YEAR SERVING WOMEN 1998 Initiated first outreach prevention programs, designed to reduce sexual activity and teen pregnancies in local elementary and high schools. 2006 1976 Name changed to Womanline to reflect the growing number of women seeking counseling services for issues other than just pregnancy. Mission of the agency revised to focus more on the problem of women with histories of emotional problems related to childhood sexual abuse. Board of Trustees adopt current mission of the agency to provide affordable counseling services to women, and to prevent childhood sexual abuse. 2009 1971 Incorporated as Birthright of Dayton by Jane Britt and others with a vision of helping women experiencing problem pregnancies and wanting an alternative to abortion. 1982 In 2011Womanline will celebrate its fortieth year helping women in the Miami Valley. Here’s a quick timeline of the past 39 years. Womanline accreditated by the national Council on Accreditation of Children and Family Services. We will let you know as we get closer how we will be celebrating our fortieth birthday, with hope you can join us. SHARING OUR MISSION C arrying out our mission would not be possible without the support of numerous community groups, corporations, foundations, and individuals who share our vision of a better community, where children are safe from abuse, and those who have been its unfortunate victims have hope and the means to recover. We thank every donor, whose contributions, both small and large, have demonstrated their commitment to our vision. OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS Foundations The Monsignor Robert A. Amann Fnd.

The highlight of the luncheon was a fashion show, with fashions by The Secret Ingredient of Town & Country. For the second year in a row, the fashions were modelled by members of the Womanline Board and other volunteers. Over $3,000 in donated items were raffled off during the program and sold through an online auction. Vectren, as it has been for the past three years, was this year’s grand sponsors. Other sponsors were Dayton Power and Light, Premier Health Partners, Kettering Health Network, PricewaterhouseCoopers, The Uhl Agency, Mark Fornes Realty, Greater Dayton RTA, Providence Medical Group, and Midwest Design Computers. Young Women Leaders Award Another highlight of the Luncheon was the honoring of four outstanding young women leaders. From over sixty nominations, four young women were selected this year to receive the annual Young Women Leaders award and a $500 scholarship. The Young Women Leaders Award, established in 2008, is an annual award given to high school seniors and college students to recognize young women who have seen a need or problem in the Dayton community or anywhere in the world, inspired others to become involved, gathered resources and planned activities to meet that need or solve the problem, and laid the foundation for continuation of their efforts. Honorees Amy Arnett. This Wright State University senior saw an opportunity for members of the WSU Marketing Club to use their marketing skills to help with the March of Dimes annual March For Babies fundraiser. Under her leadership, Club members created a route card for the March, collected funds, and organized groups to participate in the annual march. As one of her nominators said, “Amy exemplifies the volunteer spirit of our young women in this nation.” Kasheen Swango, Deb Franz, Tonya Zengel, Rhonda Miller, Julie Krabill, Barbara Ann Hardy, Jean Smith (manager, The Secret Ingredient), Courtney Stengal, Jeanette Rudy, Lois Sutherland, Cary Hatton. Larquana Bryan. This University of Dayton sophomore stepped into the role of president of a service club that was faltering, and energized others to get involved in community activities. Their first effort was to design and hold workshops to encourage and help Belmont High School seniors prepare for the college admission process. Larquana and her club also adopted an afterschool mentoring program at the Wesley Community Center, where they tutor young children. Kayla Shelley. This Chaminade-Julienne High School senior went on a mission trip to Belize in the summer of 2008, thinking it would just be an adventure. What she saw there changed her for life. On her return to school in the Fall, she and Amy Stoddard formed a service club to collect clothing, books, and supplies for girls in Belize. That modest objective evolved into a project, they called “Loose Change to Loosen Chains.” In one week the two young women raised over $4,500 to help put two girls through high school. Annie Stoddard. Like, Kayla Shelley, this ChaminadeJulienne senior couldn’t forget her experience in Belize. As president of the Key Club she worked to get more students involved in community service, even getting more students signed up to go to Belize this summer. Not wanting their successful efforts to raise money for young girls in Belize to go to school to end with their graduation, she has worked with the faculty and Board of Trustees at her school to make their fundraising project an annual event. In Annie’s words, “if you see injustice with your own eyes, you will gain all you need to lead others in making a difference.” FORMER YOUNG WOMEN LEADERS From left: Amy Stoddard, Larquana Bryan, Kim Faris (Lite 99.9), Kayla Shelley, Amy Arnett. 2008 Molly Heineman 2009 Ali Arbogast - University of Dayton - Troy Christian High School Quarie Howard Andrena Sawyer - Antioch McGregor - University of Dayton Meredith McMiller Kelli Sexton - Troy Christian High School - Wright State University 2 0 0 9 F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S I n the management of Womanline’s resources, the Board of Trustees is guided by its mission to provide high quality, affordable services to women and children throughout the Miami Valley.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS I CAN TELL I Can Tell has been a staple of Womanline’s prevention effort for over two decades. This classroom-based program has been designed to reduce the incidence and prevalence of childhood sexual abuse by teaching basic information to young children about abuse, how to recognize signs of abuse, how to protect themselves, how to report abuse should it happen, and by preparing teachers to assist children, who come to them for help. Since the first of January, 2009 our educator has given eighty-two presentations to over 1,800 children. Participating schools are: Belle Haven, Charity Adams, Driscoll, E. J. Brown, Horace Mann, Menlo Park, Monticello, Rushmore, Ruskin, and Valley Forge. The program is funded by CareSource Foundation, WorkflowOne, and Target. COUNSELING SERVICES Women who were sexually abused as children tend to require longer treatment, because of the difficulty in working through emotional disorders dating back to their childhood. It is the nature of the trauma that survivors often repress the memory of the abuse, and continue to feel ashamed and guilty for what happened to them as children, adding to their reluctance to talk about their past. In 2009, Womanline began an advertising campaign using GPS-triggered ads on RTA buses throughout the area to reach out to survivors and other women with emotional problems. That coupled with limited radio ads has greatly increased the number of calls for counseling. Today the counseling program is seeing a twofold increase in the number of clients, and is now employing two full time counselors. Recently, the agency began an aggressive campaign to get doctors to refer women with health and mental health problems. When the agency earned COA accreditation and certification from the Ohio Department of Mental Health, we were able to obtain a Medicaid contract with the local Mental Health Board. Although our counselors were treating clients with Medicaid before, we were not able to bill for their services. In addition to Medicaid, the counseling program is an approved provider under Anthem and Aetna insurance companies. In the first six months of 2010, the counseling program has provided as many hours of counseling as provided in all of 2009. The demand has necessitated a change in staffing of the program. Since January, 2009, 451 women have received counseling.
