Aside from
advocating Jazz, I've come to realize if you
want to have places for jazz performers to play you need also to
become a community activist. So I've created this section on
my website for items of interest that doesn't fall into the jazz category and maybe a few things just because I like them.

RON,
A young man had promised me his group for a performance
at Mercy Sienna Gardens on Main Street for Sunday the 14th. Now this
is not going to happen. I really stretched my neck out and told Mrs.
Wheeler I would put together a group of some kind to go entertain her group.
These are the ones with Alzheimer's and many who are so sick and frail. Most
of them have little or no close families that visit. So they sit day
after day alone. Our entire jazz and blues and vocal community can
help fix this for just one day and for just 1 hour. I am putting out a
call to all to please help us out that day. We have to do the older
Christmas songs so that their memory works with that. It doesn't have
to be flashy.
What I need are musicians and vocalists that want to give back. Piano
or keyboard, guitar, bass, horns of all kinds, drums, congas and any other
instrument that makes noise are desperately needed. I need to know by
the 10th if you can make it. I know the pay will be minimal as they
have very little money. She only pays Rick 10.00 when he is there.
Gig particulars: Mercy Sienna Gardens 6105 N. Main St.
Dayton, Ohio
Time: 2:00 until we finish at least 1 hour
Dress: Casual but nice. Please stay away from Bright
red shirts. Those upset them. My suggestion is white or light
blue. That is the way some react because of this disease. Shoes and pants
are optional . Please donate your time to this. The rewards you receive are
better than anything you will ever receive in your life.
Please give me a call at 254-3270 or 475-4297. God will
bless you. I will thank you. - Judy Evans |

I am soliciting your participation in the planning and
implementation of the 2009 Two Days in May Conference on
Victim Assistance to be held in Dayton on May 7-8, 2009. The
Mayor’s Welcome Reception will be held the evening of May 6.
Two Days in May is sponsored by the Ohio Attorney General’s
Office in a major city each year. Past conferences have been
held in Cleveland, Akron, and Columbus.
Thus far, the City of Dayton, the Crowne Plaza, and the
Dayton Convention and Visitors Bureau are committed to make
this event a success for our city. It is anticipated to give
the attendees a “Taste of Dayton,” and ensure that they see
the best that Dayton has to offer. Your participation is
valued and welcomed.
Please contact Leslie Barrow, Dayton Convention Center
(333-4714), to become involved on the ground level.
