Mission<br />
Support public education<br />
in <strong>York</strong> <strong>County</strong> by developing<br />
resources to encourage<br />
educational innovation, promote<br />
and recognize excellence,<br />
and address the needs<br />
of all students, faculty and<br />
staff.<br />
Message from the President<br />
<strong>York</strong> Foundation for Public Education, Inc.<br />
It is indeed my privilege to transmit the<br />
<strong>2008</strong>-20<strong>09</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> of the <strong>York</strong><br />
Foundation for Public Education, Inc.<br />
Despite the dismal economic conditions<br />
we all experienced this past fiscal<br />
year the Foundation turned in its best<br />
performance to date. Membership on<br />
our Board of Directors is at an all time<br />
high and we raised more funds this year<br />
than ever before. The Tenth <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>YFPE</strong><br />
Golf Tournament set a record for both<br />
participation and fundraising. We had a<br />
field of 132 golfers and our net income of<br />
$28,000 was the highest ever achieved.<br />
Our prudent investment last year with<br />
the Peninsula Community Foundation<br />
served us very well as our $60,000 investment<br />
grew at a respectable rate, while<br />
many other nonprofits lost money. On<br />
the fiscal front we received wonderful<br />
news at our <strong>Annual</strong> Dinner Meeting from<br />
Dan and Peggy Nieman, owners of the<br />
Grafton and <strong>York</strong>town Wendy’s. As our<br />
first annual corporate donors last year,<br />
we were thrilled to learn that not only<br />
were they going to renew their commitment,<br />
they increased it from $7,000 to<br />
$10,000!<br />
Our success in fundraising was paralleled<br />
by our stellar efforts in our core mission<br />
of supporting and enhancing <strong>York</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />
Public <strong>Schools</strong>. We funded a record<br />
level of instructional and school wide<br />
grants with $12,000 as well as student resource<br />
development funds of $8,750. In<br />
addition, we funded $4,700 in teacher/<br />
para-professional scholarships, plus our<br />
first annual Michael J. Tylavsky, Jr. scholarship<br />
for $500. We began and ended our<br />
year with $2,100 donated to our Teachers<br />
of the Year Awards at each school level.<br />
The Foundation has continued to be<br />
blessed by a cadre of dedicated volunteers<br />
and business sponsors and this past<br />
year was no exception. While the Foundation<br />
is truly a team effort I would like<br />
to recognize the exceptional efforts of<br />
our Vice-President Myrtle Soles. Myrtle’s<br />
work to raise funds and donations for<br />
the Golf Tournament and leadership to<br />
implement our second annual auction<br />
luncheon are simply extraordinary. A former<br />
<strong>York</strong> <strong>County</strong> educator, Myrtle continues<br />
to be the quintessential Foundation<br />
board member and officer.<br />
I would also like to thank our Superintendent<br />
Dr. Eric Williams for his support<br />
and leadership this past year. Dr. Williams’<br />
faith in the Foundation and constant<br />
awareness of how we can play a role in<br />
his vision for an even better <strong>York</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />
School system is inspiring. My last thank<br />
you goes to our School Board liaison<br />
Linda Meadows who has been a stalwart<br />
Foundation supporter and advisor. This<br />
comprehensive team of supporters has<br />
allowed us to exceed our expectations.<br />
The Foundation is truly on the brink of<br />
taking our work to a higher level however<br />
we need your help. I challenge our<br />
citizens, civic organizations and businesses<br />
to initiate or increase Foundation<br />
support. Quite simply our future depends<br />
on it.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Jim Noel<br />
President <strong>YFPE</strong><br />

Partnership <strong>YFPE</strong> and YCSD<br />
The <strong>York</strong> Foundation for Public Education, Inc. eagerly anticipates an impressive fundraising year for the <strong>York</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />
School Division. We hope to encourage all community members to contribute back to the School Division in one way<br />
or another. We invite you to join the <strong>York</strong> Foundation for Public Education, Inc. in keeping education a top priority for<br />
<strong>York</strong> <strong>County</strong>. You can make a commitment to education by volunteering your time, making a tax-deductible contribution,<br />
offering gifts-in-kind or including the Foundation in your estate planning. Each has its own distinctive and powerful<br />
reward.<br />

10th <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>YFPE</strong> Golf<br />
Tournament Hits<br />
All Time High<br />
What a great day for golf! On June 24th,<br />
20<strong>09</strong> the 10th <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>YFPE</strong> Golf Tournament<br />
was held at Kiskiack Golf Club in<br />
Williamsburg. One hundred thirty two<br />
golf enthusiasts, on thirty three teams,<br />
enjoyed a continental breakfast, a challenging<br />
round of golf, great weather and<br />
lunch. Through the cooperative efforts<br />
of area businesses, the tournament was<br />
a huge success. The Tournament raised<br />
nearly $38,000 with net proceeds of almost<br />
$28,000. One-hundred percent of<br />
the net proceeds will fund student scholarships,<br />
teacher grants and recognition<br />
of innovation and excellence in education<br />
scholarships.<br />
A special recognition is extended to everyone<br />
who supported the <strong>YFPE</strong> Golf<br />
Tournament. We are especially appreciative<br />
of the generosity of our corporate<br />
sponsors, business contributors, participants<br />
and the efforts of volunteers.<br />
For the sixth consecutive year, four of<br />
the area’s Walmart facilities participated<br />
and were tournament event sponsors.<br />
In addition, Bay Electric played a major<br />
role as an event sponsor for the second<br />
year. Grafton Dodge and the <strong>York</strong><br />
<strong>County</strong> DARE Program again sponsored<br />
the Hole-In-One. This year we had the<br />
fortunate opportunity to bring on several<br />
new sponsors which significantly<br />
increased our fundraising efforts. Our<br />
new sponsors for 20<strong>09</strong> included Oyster<br />
Point Construction, Spain Construction,<br />
Rotary Club, Coca-Cola, Inc., Henderson<br />
Construction, ASI Security Systems, Hudson<br />
Architects and Little Tikes Virginia<br />
Playground Services.<br />
<strong>YFPE</strong> designated the 10th Hole in memory<br />
of Al Meadows, a wonderful friend of<br />
the Foundation who passed away in the<br />
spring of 20<strong>09</strong>.<br />
“In addition to the great weather, many<br />
of the Board Members actively participated<br />
on the golf committee and were<br />
instrumental to our great success this<br />
year,” said Peggy Myatt, <strong>YFPE</strong> Director.<br />
“Once again, the annual <strong>YFPE</strong> golf tournament<br />
surpassed my expectations on<br />
