News and Events Peacekeeper Luncheon Returns in 2008 After a year hiatus, Artemis Center's Peacekeeper Luncheon is back and is scheduled for Wednesday, October 15 at the Boesch Lounge at UD Arena. The luncheon will include a keynote speaker on domestic violence and awards will be presented to individuals or groups who have made a significant contribution to improving our community's response to victims of domestic violence. Table sponsorships are now available. Please contact Staci for more information or call 461-5091. Artemis Center to benefit from Change for Charities at The Greene
Established by the owners of The Greene, The Greene Change for Charity Foundation Fund focuses on providing meaningful support to youth and families in the greater Miami Valley area. The Foundation, funded by parking meter proceeds and ticket revenues, offers significant support to area nonprofit organizations through the Change for Charity Meter Program, the Greene Scholarship Fund and Community Event Sponsorships. Each quarter spent in a meter and each ticket paid helps fund the current two-month featured charity. So the more people that park at The Greene in March and April means Artemis Center will receive a greater donation. A little change can go a long way!

Annual Artemis Walk Raises Over $17,000 Once again this year, the 5K Run/3K Walk was made possible through the generous support of our lead sponsor, Verizon Wireless. We would also like to thank additional sponsors including: University of Dayton, Macy's, Panera Bread, Hot 102.9 and Z-93. Kettering Medical Center Nurses Honor Artemis Center August, 2007 – Nurses at Kettering Medical Center recently honored Artemis Center with a 2007 Community Awareness Service Award and a $1,000 check. The award and check were given to Artemis Center for its dedication to improving the quality of life for the people in communities served by Kettering Medical Center, said Dianne Ditmer, clinical nurse manager for professional development at KMC.
Every year, Kettering Medical Center sets aside funds to honor nurses during Nurse Appreciation Week. This year, a committee of nurses decided to give away the money. "The committee said, 'Let's put into practice what nurses do,'" said Ditmer. The nurses voted to give awards to Artemis Center and two other local charities and to create four scholarships to help colleagues cover the costs of nursing education.
"We truly appreciate the generosity of the Kettering Medical Center nurses and their vote of confidence in Artemis Center," said Patti Schwarztrauber, Artemis Center executive director. "When it comes to domestic violence, nurses are on the front lines. They are among the first to care for those who have been injured and often the first to ensure that abused patients get connected to Artemis Center for services."
Artemis Center Achieves OANO State Standards of Excellence May, 2007 – Artemis Center was recently honored by the Ohio Association of Nonprofit Organizations (OANO) for achieving the OANO Standards of Excellence. Artemis was one of only five organizations in the state to receive this certification for 2007. The Standards of Excellence promote ethical practices and accountability in nonprofit organizations across the state. Artemis was among those honored at a May 8 luncheon at the Ohio Statehouse Atrium. “This recognition puts Artemis in an elite group of nonprofits in Ohio,” said Patti Schwarztrauber, Artemis Center executive director. “The Standards of Excellence designation shows Artemis is following sound business practices and that we have accountability measures in place to insure we are good stewards of the money we receive.” Agencies receiving the OANO Standards certification have achieved excellence in the following areas: mission and program, governing body, conflict of interest, human resources, financial and legal, public accountability, fundraising, and public affairs and public policy. Artemis Center also meets the Wise Giving Alliance Standards of the Dayton/Miami Valley Better Business Bureau. In 2004, Artemis received a Nonprofit Eclipse Integrity Award from the local BBB. Ohio Supreme Court Upholds State's Domestic Violence Law July, 2007 - The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that Ohio's domestic violence law, which protects unmarried victims of partner abuse, does not conflict with the definition of marriage in the State Constitution. The justices said the law does not violate Ohio's Constitutional amendment that prohibits the state from giving legal recognition to unmarried relationships.
Prior to the decision, a number of domestic violence cases had been on hold as a result of the issue raised in the case of State versus Carswell. Michael Carswell challenged the law, saying he could not be charged with a crime that should apply only to married couples.
"We are extremely pleased with the Supreme Court's decision," said Patti Schwarztrauber, Artemis Center executive director. "The tragic impact of domestic violence is the same on victims, whether they are married or unmarried to their abusive partners. The Court's ruling provides equal access to justice for ALL victims."
P&G Pet Care Awards Grant to Artemis P&G Pet Care has awarded a $15,000 grant to benefit the Artemis Center Children's Therapy Program, which provides early intervention and therapy for children who have been exposed to domestic violence. P&G Pet Care has been a long-time supporter of the program, donating $60,000 since 2004.
Artemis Director Wins National Award Patti Schwarztrauber, Executive Director, has been selected for a 2006 Sunshine Peace Award! Each year the Sunshine Lady Foundation recognizes 20 extraordinary individuals from across the nation who make a difference; those who help to build communities that are intolerant of domestic violence and through whose work peoples' lives are changed for the better. Candidates are nominated and selected on excellence in administration of programs and in victim advocacy. Patti has chosen Artemis Center to receive a $5,000 donation in her name from the foundation.
