Below is a list of accomplishments for
CCV for the year 2000.

BUILDING THE ORGANIZATION

An office was provided, free of charge, by a valley church, except for insurance and utilities.

With materials, outlines, and guidance from the National Coalition for the Protection of Children and Families (NCPCF), a Strategic Plan was devised that included our vision and mission statement, key goals, programmatic focus and strategies, and a plan of implementation.

A Six Month Plan was carefully outlined with goals in the following areas: education and awareness, an Internet Safety campaign, victim assistance, a legal campaign, and additional development to build the Organization.

A Board of Directors was established, along with criteria for selecting directors.

Strategies for fund raising have been discusses and listed for implementation.

Kimberly Drake and Ginny Foster, a Board member, attended a grant writing class. Computers and office equipment and supplies have been donated. Many generous financial contributions have been made. A Capital Campaign has been written and copies have been distributed to many potential supporters. Jim Cote, Master's Touch Printing, made a generous contribution to the printing costs.

Darcy Taylor, Vice President of NCPCF Model Cities, visited Spokane and made meaningful suggestions that gave encouragement.

501c3 Tax Exempt, non profit status was granted.

Volunteers have helped get things started. Laurie Hall agreed to be our Bookkeeper & Treasurer. Some women came into the office and started a filing system. A plumber helped with the water system. An electrician helped set up the phone system. A local day care has been watching Kimberly's son for free.

DEFENDING THE COMMUNITY AGAINST THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF PORNOGRAPHY

Many contacts have been established with city and county officials, including the Mayor, City Council Members, County Commissioners, and the City/County Prosecutor.

Kimberly is working with non-profit organizations in other cities to learn about recent legislation and areas of attack; we are working with I-CAP in Post Falls; we work with an support the activities of the Spokane American Family Association.

We are supporting a city and county resolution to denounce the Hot Network program offered on AT&T Cable. We have encouraged people to sign a petition expressing concern for protecting a higher community standard. We have approximately 2500 signatures. We plan to continue this campaign in 2001.

We are supporting a city zoning ordinance which will remove Retail Adult Bookstores from residences, parks, churches, etc.

Kimberly spoke before the County Commissioners in support of an ordinance that regulates nude dance clubs. Her testimony about her personal experience devastated the arguments of DeJaVu attorneys.

She gave her testimony to Congressman Pitts for Bob Flores of the National Law Center in Washington D.C.

Kimberly spoke at a rally in front of the Stateline Showgirls Nude Dance Club to let people know about the destructive nature of this type of business.

VICTIMS ASSISTANCE

Kimberly ordered 100 copies of a book written by Lisanne McMurray, a dancer in Phoenix, and hopes to distribute them to the women working in the clubs as a way of reaching out to them with a story of hope.

Kimberly has taken counseling/mentoring classes and engaged in research to learn how to minister to women who are struggling with the temptation of pornography, the appeal of being a stripper, or the pain of a relationship with a porn addict.

Book lists have been given to the Christian Bookstores that will help victims and addicts. The suggested reading material will be added to their shelves.

Kimberly is interviewing local counselors to determine whom we can refer hurting individuals to.

A training conference is planned for Summer 2001. CCV hopes to be a resource for education to churches and professional counselors to equip them in supporting victims and addicts of pornography.
