I love the Christmas Holidays as I enjoy spending them with family and friends, but I am painful aware that some children will receive nothing for Christmas and that is where I step in to help and to gift wrap a smile and simple toy for a needy and worthy child in this area. It doesn't have to break your budget. It can fill your world with the most incredible feeling and gives back or pays forward, however you might believe. Some of us have money but not a lot of time, so please donate generously to a boy or girl. In the end, we, the people are the most caring and generous people on this earth no matter our race, religion. You can make a difference in this world, one day at a time.Thanks and god bless you!

Blood drive...
Hi Jeff, Jenn, and Fritsch~
My name is Lauren Weatherspoon and I am an avid listener of the morning show on Q102. I am hoping that you can assist me in raising awareness for a blood drive being held in honor of my nearly 3 year old daughter, Susie, at Batavia Local Schools on December 7 and December 17th. Susie was diagnosed with Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (FHLH for short) in late June this year. FHLH is a rare disease of severe immune dysregulation which results in a supernormal immune response to infection which ultimately leads to the immune system attacking the body. To learn more about FHLH, you can check out www.histio.org. It affects only 1.2 of 1 million children each year. When she initially became ill, we were living in Hawaii as my husband is an active-duty member of the Army; however, he was deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom at that time.
We were med-evac'd to Cincinnati Children's Hospital 2 days after she was initially hospitalized for acute liver failure at Tripler Army Medical Center. My husband was sent home on Emergency Leave and we have remained here since. Six days after arriving in Cincinnati, we were able to obtain a diagnosis. God must have been looking out for us as Cincinnati Children's is the leading hospital in the country for this condition and also has the world's leading expert in FHLH on staff. The only treatment for this condition is a bone marrow transplant which Susie received on September 10, 2007 from her big brother, Gabriel. She has done well since with only minor complications. Throughout this process, Susie has received every type of blood product possible.
There have been times when these products are not available due to shortages. When I was contacted by Batavia Local Schools, my alma mater, to see what they could do to help our family, I immediately used this opportunity to ask them to organize a blood drive in honor of my sweet Susie. This will not only benefit Susie, but also the many adults and children in the local area who need these life-saving products. I am hoping that you will help me in raising awareness and encouraging members of the community to help save lives by donating their blood. Please contact me via email or phone at 859-360-3666 if you might be able to help us. Thank you,Lauren Weatherspoon You can learn more about Susie at www.caringbridge.org/visit/susiepaige

New nonprofit
NEW NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION PROVIDES PERFORMING ARTS CLASSES TO CHILDREN WITH AND WITHOUT DISABILITIES/SPECIAL NEEDS
Dramakinetics of Cincinnati to Start Classes in January
CINCINNATI, Nov. 13—The Resident Home Corporation, an organization that has been providing support to families and individuals with developmental disabilities since 1963, is proud to announce their sponsorship of a new non-profit organization, Dramakinetics of Cincinnati.
Dramakinetics of Cincinnati will provide 12 weekly performing arts classes, starting in January. These classes are for children with and without disabilities/special needs between the ages of 9 months and 14 years old. The classes include music, movement, and drama as the means to teach and learn.
“The activities allow children to work on their developmental goals, no matter what their abilities are, in a performing arts setting,” said Colleen McSwiggin, Associate Director. “The integrated classes mean that typical children can be role models for their peers with developmental challenges, and that children can interact in a diverse group setting to minimize the stigma attached to the labels of ‘disabled’ or ‘special needs.’”
The classes will be held at four locations at various times during the week. Class locations are:
• The Resident Home Corporation (in Monfort Heights)
3030 West Fork Road
Cincinnati, Ohio 45211
• The Madisonville Arts Center
5021 Whetsel Avenue
Cincinnati, Ohio 45227
• The Kids First Sports Center (in Mason)
7900 East Kemper Road
Cincinnati, Ohio 45249
• The College Conservatory of Music (CCM) College Preparatory Department on the University of Cincinnati campus in the Corbett Center for the Performing Arts
There are fees for the classes ($15 per class for Beginning Dramakinetics and $18 per class for Dramakinetics I, II and III), but some scholarships are available.
Executive Director Pam Shooner, who has master’s degrees in Special Education and Theatre Arts, originally taught Dramakinetics classes in New York in the 1990s. Since the spring of 2006, she has taught two Dramakinetics classes each week: one at CCM and one at the Resident Home Corporation. Those classes were funded by a grant from CCM’s College Preparatory Department.
In order to expand services to additional children, Dramakinetics of Cincinnati was founded in April 2007 by Shooner and McSwiggin. McSwiggin, a former microbiologist for Procter & Gamble, is the mother of two boys: Joe (age 6) has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), which is on the autism spectrum, and Jack (age 4) is typically-developing.
McSwiggin stated, “Both of my sons love the classes, but Joe especially has benefited. Things started to click for him – he’s less in his own world and starting to have actual conversations. Developmentally, he’s taken a huge step forward this year. I think a lot of that has to do with his involvement in Dramakinetics.”
Dramakinetics of Cincinnati is also available to provide classes to individuals of all ages and abilities at schools, libraries, assisted living facilities and other settings.
To find out more information regarding all of the services Dramakinetics of Cincinnati provides or to register, volunteer, or donate, please refer to the website at www.dramakinetics.org or contact Colleen McSwiggin at dramakinetics@fuse.net or 513-484-0112 for more information.

Music Resource Center
RECORDING AND MUSIC STUDIO WILL GIVE TEENS A SAFE PLACE TO GO AFTER SCHOOL
The Music Resource Center – Cincinnati, a non-profit, will kick off it’s fundraising
efforts with “Party Like a Rock Star” on November 17th
On the whole, the city of Cincinnati is lacking in productive, high interest and motivating after school activities for teens. Taking a cue from Charlottesville, VA, the Music Resource Center – Cincinnati (MRC-Cinci) will offer teens in grades 7th – 12th a cool place to come after school where they can learn to play an instrument, record their music, rehearse with their band or dance some hip-hop. MRC-Cinci will be the first “sister” club of the Music Resource Center, which has been open in Charlottesville, VA since 1995. The two centers have the same mission: to educate and inspire young people and through music, equip them with life skills for the future. Members of the Dave Matthews Band have shown their support for MRC in Charlottesville since they opened their doors, and MRC-Cinci is very happy that local rock icon, Peter Frampton, is following their lead by being an Advisory Board member of our local center.
The Music Resource Center – Cincinnati, which will be located in Evanston, will offer memberships to students in 7th – 12th grade who are currently enrolled in local area schools. So that the members have ownership in the center, they will be asked to pay a $24 yearly membership fee (scholarships will be available for those that cannot afford the membership fee). Once they become a member, students can use our facility and participate in all of our classes for the entire year without additional fees. Our center will be open after school, Monday through Friday, and we will also be open during the summer. Each member will set their own goal and to help them achieve their goals we will offer music lessons (supplying the instruments while the students are at our facility), audio engineering classes and dance classes. MRC will have a Recording Studio, Rehearsal Rooms, Digital Project Studios and a Dance Room.
MRC-Cinci will kick-off their fundraising efforts with “Party Like a Rock Star!!” which will be held on November 17th. Guests are encouraged to “Dress Like a Rock Star” while they tour the “yet to be equipped” building and party to the tunes of “Hearsay.” The party starts at 7:00 pm and tickets cost $40 presale and $45 at the door. For more information visit their website at www.mrccinci.org.
If you would like more information about the Music Resource Center - Cincinnati, or to schedule an interview with Karen D’Agostino, MRC-Cinci’s Executive Director, call Karen at 513-544-8422 or e-mail her at kdagostino@mrccinci.org.

Tawanna Hafford Memorial...
We would like to take the time to say thank you to everyone who has shown there love and support during this tragic time. The Red Cross has been able to help the Hill/Hafford family make arrangements to fly home; because as some may have heard, most of the family was in Miami headed on a 7 day/night vacation in the Bahamas when the fire broke out in Estelle Hills home. Gloria Hill, LaʼDetres Stallworth and his two children LaʼDetres Jr. and DeʼAsia Stallworth (5 and 3) were all released from the hospital and have a strong bill of health, and were told that they would be okay. They along with Ronny Hill and Kathy Maxel have been given emergency funding and have been put-up in homes by Family and Friends. However due to the fact that this was a sudden incident no arrangements have been made as of yet for Tawanna Haffords funeral.
A fund has been set up and sent out by Fifth/Third Bank and Channel 5. This fund is called the Tawanna Hafford Memorial. We urge you, please go to your local Fifth/Third Bank and make a donation to help pay for the funeral, clothing, food, and burial arrangements for Tawanna Hafford and those who lost their possessions in the Fire. Also please continue to pray for this familyʼs strength and wellness during this tragic time.
Thank you and God Bless.

Please help Tori Meier
This is a personal plea for your help from Joseph Jones. I have determined not to sit idly by while a young girl and her family suffers. Tori’s mother, Jessica, works with my wife Amanda at Standard Textile and is in tremendous need of our help.
This is the story of Tori Meier. In 1999 Tori was diagnosed with Epilepsy. When the illness became uncontrollable a medical procedure was performed in an attempt to isolate and control the area of Tori’s brain which doctors believed was causing the episodes. Upon attempting to localize they discovered a brain tumor which they could not remove due to its location. Tori was subsequently placed on medication to control the seizures which ultimately did not work.
Doctors determined that removal of the brain tumor was a must in order to save Tori’s life. During the procedure it was discovered that Tori had cancer. Daily chemotherapy and radiation treatments are currently being utilized to cure the challenge and this of course has been devastating to the family. Tori’s mother has found it necessary to now work part-time in order to be with Tori while she is going through treatments and being home schooled.
As if the medical condition of Tori weren’t placing enough strain on the family they are about to loose their home. Jessica’s medical insurance did not cover the cost of chemotherapy and Jessica was left with no choice but to pay out of pocket for the treatment. The financial burden coupled with her reduction of work hours has done insurmountable damage to the families finances.
IT’S TIME TO HELP ONE OF OUR OWN! This family is in immediate need of financial assistance and anything you can do is greatly appreciated. If you would like to help save this family’s home and get them on the road to recovery please make a financial contribution to the following fund established at Fifth Third Bank: The Tori Meier Benefit Fund no later than Friday, November 2nd. Your giving will change a family’s life and is greatly appreciated!
Please visit www.carepages.com for information and updates on Tori. Her page name is torimeier. You have to register first and then you can login to her page and see pictures and get updates.

Roman Fariello...
Roman Fariello is a two year old little boy who was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a very aggressive form of cancer, at 18 months of age. For the past 6 months little Roman has been in and out of hospitals (mostly in) and his family have had to take a lot of time off work, unpaid, in order to get Roman to various treatments and hospitals.
He is scheduled to go back in the hospital out of town in a week or so and will be there for two weeks minimum. While the family is away we will be holding the fund raiser pizza party to try and raise some money for the family. Most of the pizza items and beverages are going to be donated so almost all of the money made will go to Roman and his family.
The pizza party is on Saturday, October 27th from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tickets are $15 adults and $10 children 12 and under, and include all the pizza you care to eat plus beer and pop (all you would like). Ticket sales are limited to 125 by the size of the hall but we are hoping to sell all 125 that we can.
If you are interested purchasing tickets please let me know and I will bring them next time I’m in the office. My son Chris and I will be working the event that night so I will hope to see you there if you can make it.
If you would like to read more about Roman and his family, please visit www.rescueroman.org.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Walk/Run for domestic violence fund...
Walk/Run to benefit domestic violence fund
WEST CHESTER – The third annual Amy’s Emergency Fund 5K walk/run will be held Oct. 6 at Ronald Reagan Voice of Freedom Park (Voice of America Park) on Cox Road in West Chester beginning at 10 a.m.
The run/walk will benefit Amy’s Emergency Fund, which provides assistance for victims of violent and domestically violent crimes.
Registration for those 14 years old and older is $20 pre-registration and $25 on the day of the event. Children 13 years and under are free. Checks can be made payable to CADV – Amy’s Emergency Fund and mailed to 2105 Central Ave., Suite A; Middletown, Ohio 45044.
Donations will also be accepted at the event or they can be mailed to CADV.
T-shirts will be given at the check-in table the day of the event, and there will be special activities for the children. The runners will start off the event and the walk will follow when the runners have finished.
The event coincides with the beginning of October, which is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Established in 2005, Amy’s Emergency Fund was named for Amy Jones. As a survivor of domestic violence, Jones is committed to making a difference for other victims of domestic violence. She feels that no person should have to live in an unsafe or unhealthy environment.
“The goal of the fund and groups such as Citizens Against Domestic Violence (CADV) are to empower victims so that they know there is a way out,” said Nicky Muterspaw, victim’s advocate for the Butler County Sheriff’s Office. “We also want to raise awareness of domestic violence to as many socio-economic groups as possible.”
Jones is a board member/speaker for CADV. She tells her bittersweet story to audiences in schools and professional organizations throughout the community in the hope of touching at least one person’s life, letting them know that there is life after violence.
For more information on the walk/run, please call (513) 423-0044 or visit www.cadv-ohio.com.

Breast Cancer: Buy a Brick...
Fight Breast Cancer: Buy a Brick
When: Sunday October 7, 2007 4pm-8pm
Where: Sharonville Convention Center
More Info: VISIT www.breastcancerbricks.org for more details and to see bricks from previous auctions.
Cincinnati, Ohio: The 6th Annual Breast Cancer Brick Auction will take place Sunday, October 7, 2007, from 4 to 8 p.m., at the Sharonville Convention Center.
Local artists are creating art from bricks to raise funds for local breast cancer research and Cincinnati breast cancer advocacy groups. “Bricks Along the Journey” Annual Breast Cancer Brick Auction aims to top $120,000 this year.
The art, created in various media using a single brick as the foundation, is colorful and innovative. The bricks will be displayed and made available for purchase at the silent auction. Bricks start at $25. One brick created by an internationally acclaimed artist brought in $2500 in a prior year.
The recipient of all funds collected from the sale of the bricks will be the Greater Cincinnati Breast Cancer Alliance’s Ellen B. Ganson Fund, established in memory of Ellen Ganson, co-founder of the Breast Cancer Brick Auction, and created to benefit programs and patients exclusively in Cincinnati.
Ganson chose bricks as the basis of her fundraising campaign since their rejuvenation into objects of beauty and inspiration symbolizes the “journey,” or the return to health and strength of a breast cancer victim decimated by the initial diagnosis.
Ganson lost her heroic battle to breast cancer almost a year ago. Volunteer organizers and supporters of the upcoming auction are eager to advance her cause by raising more funds than in any of the previous auctions, whose total proceeds topped $120,000.
This summer, 4 camps participated in community action projects by painting bricks and gravel that will be included in a separate area of the brick auction. In this way children from 3rd grade level to teenagers are helping to find a cure! The following camps participated: Wise Center Camp, Camp Wildbrook, Camp Chabad, and Camp Livingston.Also, artist Marion Corbin-Mayer held a week-long program for teenage girls at her Creative Catalyst Studio, and they created bricks for the auction.
Come and see the art, purchase a unique brick---and help fight breast cancer!

Akers Angels...
“My only wish is to have a home that I can move around in…”
~Brooke Akers
Brooke Akers is a 7 year old, who suffers from Type II Spinal Muscular Atrophy and is confined to a 200 pound motorized wheelchair. Unfortunately, her 3 year old sister, Faith who has the same disease, her 9 year old brother, Christian who has Crohn’s disease, and her parents live in a bi-level home that is not wheelchair accessible.
Can you imagine watching all three of your children suffer? Here is an expression of a mother’s pain and feelings of hopelessness:
“I know I’m always requesting prayer and here I am again. I am having a difficult time accepting what is going on with Brooke. Her back and spine, hip, legs, ankles, feet, etc….my baby’s body is becoming deformed and it’s even affecting her breathing. Then there are the braces, stander and wheelchair. She’s not even strong enough to cough. I have to use a machine called a cough assist machine on her twice a day. She has to wear a bi-pap at night. There are 4 other pieces of equipment that have been ordered, a seating device, a stander for home, a Hoyer lift because she is getting to be so big and handicap accessible toilet seats. It’s just all so overwhelming, especially because our house is not big enough for the equipment.
I went into her room tonight and just held her and laid next to her and prayed and cried. I feel like we are losing her. I am really trying to keep the faith, but I need some help. Please, pray that I will continue to believe and keep the faith.
Then there’s my beautiful three year old daughter, Faith. The doctors and therapist are trying to convince me that Faith needs to get a wheelchair. I have been praying all along that Faith will never be in a wheelchair. I am starting to feel defeated. She’s already in a Kid Kart (a handicap stroller) and she wears braces on her legs and uses a walker. I just don’t think I can handle her being in a wheelchair too.
My son Christian’s Remicade infusions are not lasting the 6-8 weeks they are supposed to, so he is in a considerable amount of pain and we don’t know what to do next to keep the Crohn’s in control.
~Ginger Akers
My hope is that the City of Cincinnati can come together to support a local family, and show them that they do not have to fight alone. I challenge our community to come together and help us raise enough money to build a wheelchair accessible home, so Greg and Ginger have one less struggle.
