Volunteerism throughout the state
Clarksville: in February members set up and participated in a sponsored walk at a local fitness center.
Over 30 of our members and staff participated in walking well over a hundred miles raising $700 for the
American Cancer Society. The Clarksville branch also travels weekly to a local coffee shop for socialization
groups. Since introducing this resource to our members they have started to use it in there own time and they
report to us that they are mixing with members of the community while they are there. Three times a week we
take an outing to our local fitness center to walk and play basketball; many of the members have started to
initiate games of basketball with folks in the community. Also in February we took a trip to a retreat center
in the Ozark Mountains for a wonderful weekend. Members were able to relax, eat some good food, play games
and enjoy a very large warm fire to fellowship around.

EXPRESSIONS Art Show and Sale an Overwhelming Success
The Arkansas Governors Mansion was the site of a wonderful event April 30th as over 400 people converged for an evening
of art, entertainment and fellowship. The 7th Annual EXPRESSIONS Art Show and Sale began with the Governor Mike Beebe,
First Lady Ginger Beebe, Dr. Herman Harley and Clinical Director David Kuchinski greeting guests as they arrived to view
and purchase over 260 original paintings created by Birch artists in the Expressive Arts Program. The Grand Hall filled
quickly as hundreds of guests admired and purchased close to $30,000 work of art with all of the profit from the selling
of the works going directly back to the artists. Music filled the air as members and staff, also known as The Birch Boys,
played music that kept the crowd moving. KATV’s own Pamela Smith emceed the live auction with the featured piece selling
for $4000 dollars! The food prepared by the Governors personal staff was a hit. Overall, we could have not asked for a more
sensational evening.
