Hours: 12-4:30PM
Covington, KY 41015
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.

Findlay Market Holiday Sale
STOP AIDS (formerly AVOC) Partners with Findlay Market for Holiday Tree Sale! What: STOP AIDS (formerly AIDS Volunteers of Cincinnati--AVOC), is partnering again with historic Findlay Market to host its annual Christmas Tree Sale! STOP AIDS is the Greater Cincinnati area's only AIDS Service Organization, and is entering its 25th year of service to the community. This fundraiser is a holiday favorite for shoppers who want to buy their family Christmas tree and support STOP AIDS and our clients at the same time! In addition to trees, shoppers will also be able to buy holiday wreaths, and ornaments and cards made by STOP AIDS clients. 100% of the proceeds raised by the sale will stay in Cincinnati to provide HIV prevention education and case management services to people living with HIV.
Findlay Market and it’s holiday shops will also be open for shoppers to purchase gifts, greenery, poinsettias, holiday decorations, and the city’s finest fresh foods! Where: The Elm Street Esplanade entrance of Findlay Market-- Shoppers can drive their vehicles up to the tree lot for easy loading of trees. A wide selection of trees will be available at all price ranges.
When: The STOP AIDS Tree sales will take place on Saturdays and Sundays ONLY beginning November 24th and ending on December 23rd! Trees will be sold on Saturdays from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm, and on Sundays from 11:00 am to 3:30 pm.
Who: STOP AIDS was founded in 1983 in response to the first AIDS- related death in the Cincinnati area. As the number of HIV-challenged individuals grew, so did our services; the agency quickly grew from a grassroots, volunteer organization into a professional AIDS Service Organization that today employs over 25 full-time staff, and serves around 1,000 clients per year.
The STOP AIDS offices at 220 Findlay Street in Over-the-Rhine are home to programs providing client services, prevention education, and HIV/AIDS testing. It is the Vision & Mission of STOP AIDS to be the leader in the fight against AIDS until there's a cure…changing lives one person at a time.
