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.
