Our mission is to inspire and enable allyoung people to realize their full potentialas productive, responsible and caringcitizens.Today, more than ever, youth seem tohave daily opportunities to make negativechoices that can affect their lives and thelives of their families and their communitiesfor years to come.Those of us who work with kids at our25 Club locations every day, see theenormous difference we can make–especially in the lives of kids at risk, kidswho need us the most. We have felt andexperienced those positive results in avery personal way and now, with the helpof Dr. Jamshid Damooei of CLU and theEconomic Impact Report, we have solid,proof positive of the profound impact ofthe Club on our kids and our community.A year ago, we partnered withDr. Damooei to conduct a study on theamount of money the communitysaves in future social programs byinvesting in children throughthe Boys & Girls Clubs. Theresults of “EconomicImpact of the Boys &Girls Clubs of GreaterOxnard and Port Huenemeon the Community: A Studyof the Return in Investing inOur Children” were releasedwith fantastic findings: For everydollar spent at the Club, fourdollars are saved, a 400 percent returnon investment.While much of the Clubs’ emotionalimpact cannot be quantified, the purposeof this study was to measure the impact interms of cost saving as well as the creationof income brought about by greaterproductivity of members of the communitywho benefit from its operation.Though the study measured six areas,three stood out as particularly exceptional:preventing teen pregnancy, reducingcrime and raising graduation rates. Wehave included some of those results inthis yearly review and highlighted theprograms, members and Club alumni whoare outstanding examples of why we areable to positively change lives in very realways and with the generous support ofour volunteers and donors.The children in our community are worthyof our time, commitment and dedication.When we listen, we learn, and our kidsgrow in confidence, competence and selfesteem.With your help, we can continueto teach a generation that they are valuedand that, with our help, they can turn anynegative they are given into a positive, forthemselves and for their communities.To our stakeholders, volunteers, boardmembers, friends, collaborating partnersand donors, we offer our yearly review for2008—a profoundly successful year.Thank you for helping us make positivechange for all our children!Respectfully,Tim BlaylockChief Professional OfficerBoys & Girls Clubs of Greater Oxnard andPort Hueneme
