BACKPACK ATTACK SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE JULY 26, 2012
Since 1999, Indy BackPack Attack has made it their mission to collect school
supplies for children in the Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) as well as other
Indiana schools in Marion, Boone, Hancock and Hendricks counties.
Arlington/Roe’s Indianapolis staff donated over 280 items to Backpack At-
tack along with 7 backpacks plus cash for this annual school supply drive
benefitting Indianapolis Public School students. They have collected over
300,000 items this year to help students throughout Marion County.
Stacy Russell, Niki Lucas and Mary Miller (l to r above) took our donations to the IUPUI warehouse and stayed to help sort supplies for four hours. Stacy and Niki were the Queens of Highlighters and Mary was on pen patrol!
In addition, at our Louisville office, staffers organized a school supply collection for the children of Morgan
County, KY. They worked with Ison Insurance Agency in West Liberty, KY, just as they did to help out with do-
nations after tornadoes wreaked havoc there earlier in 2012.

COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY SUPPORT AND INSURANCE STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS
Arlington/Roe contributes annually to various colleges and universities that support insurance and risk man-agement education. In addition, we fund a variety of insurance education scholarships.
Arlington/Roe contributed to the renovation of Federal Hall at Indiana State University, now the home of the Scott College of Business. Shown above, Anne Duncan and Jim Roe at the Arlington/Roe & Co. Insurance Teamwork Development Lab, so named because of the extensive support for the ISU Insurance and Risk Management Program given by our company and our employees.

UNOFFICIAL CAUSES SUPPORTED BY ARLINGTON/ROE AND OUR PEOPLE
Employees support many kinds of community service organizations individually, such as churches, business associa-
tions, schools and colleges, fraternal organizations, charities, arts organizations, sports organizations, humane societies
and conservation groups. Because we are allowed to share these efforts, we are able to support one another’s causes.
As Edward Everett Hale said in 1902, “I am only one, but I am one. I can not do everything, but I can do something. I
must not fail to do the something that I can do.” That is the spirit of Arlington/Roe.
Above, Angela Cale of our Chicago office shows one of the quilts she has made and donated to Project Linus.

The Arlington/Roe spirit is reflected in this comment about a family receiving help from one of our team members and her family in Illinois:
“We have been doing this for 6 years and
will do it for at least 6 more years. The
reason I am providing this information is
because it is not always the money you
throw at a problem but the caring that
makes the difference.“
Brenda Niederbrach Illinois Marketing Manager Arlington/Roe & Co.
