B OA R D O F D I R EC T O R S
As we begin the summer season, I am
pleased to inform you that some very exciting things are
happening at Daymark. In March we staged a very
successful Gala, “A Night in Emerald City,” which was
attended by over 300 individuals. Along with a silent
auction and donations by individuals, we grossed a
little over $100,000. A special thank you goes to Lauren Estep and Meghan Moses, who chaired the event.
Our Annual Tennis Tournament, an event
sponsored by Daymark for over 30 years will be held
from June 24 – 26 at the Charleston Tennis Club. The
tournament will include a raffle for which several very
valuable prizes have been donated. We invite all to
come, watch the play, enjoy the finals on Sunday, June
26, and participate in the raffle and have some fun.
While we are experiencing success in our
volunteer-driven events and while we appreciate the
support of our over 1400 donors, we have some very
serious financial concerns as we move into the coming
months. Because of the reduction of governmental
support by approximately $200,000, our staff is working
diligently to maintain our current level of service to our
young people in the face of this shortfall.
One of the ways to help reduce costs is to move
the Patchwork program, currently housed at the Lee
Street location, to the Homewood house and move the
Turning Point program at Homewood to Lee Street.
Since some have associated Patchwork with Lee Street,
we will endeavor to build the Daymark brand for all of our
programs and to keep the Daymark name at the forefront, rather than focusing on individual program names.
Perhaps now more than ever in our history, we
need to rally around our organization to help relieve the
pain of governmental cutbacks. Please consider extra
support to Daymark by sending a check or pledge to:
Daymark, 1592 Washington Street, East, Suite 2,
Charleston, WV 25311. You may also donate on-line at
www.daymark.org. We appreciate all that you do to help
make the lives of our young people better. Thank you.
Vicki Pleasant, Daymark Executive Director and Pat Moyers, Board of Directors Chairperson accept a generous donation from the First
Presbyterian Church of Charleston, presented by Ann Patterson.

A Night in Emerald City, Daymark Gala 2016,
was held on March 19 at Berry Hills Country

food, a wine pull, an auction, music, and
stories. Some special guests, straight from
the Emerald City, are pictured below.
In loving memory of Ardath
Francke, whose vision and
compassion made Daymark a
place that West Virginia’s
children could call home.
