Member Sharing – November 2009

 November 24, 2009

 Our first ever Member Sharing spotlighted Josh Lantz (right) of Griffin-Lantz Insurance and Greg Morck (below) of gdm Specialty Printing.

 Josh covered some of the ins and outs of Property and Casualty Insurance.  He reminded us to get another quote for our coverage just to make sure we are getting the best price for our needs.  

 Greg shared with us some of the products he can provide to help us promote are business. The printing he does on products like t-shirts is a process that binds with fabric it self and is permanent. Greg gave us tips on what products to use where.  

Josh and Greg – Thanks for being the first members to Share!

Dublin Area Art League Has Much to Offer

November 3, 2009

Cindy BrydenCindy Bryden, President of the Dublin Area Art League (DAAL), shared information about  many of the League’s activities.  Each year members may participate in Art Shows in Dublin.  The most current is a Fall Show that is being displayed at the Dublin Recreation Center.  The shows are judged and prizes awarded.  In the summer there is a “Paint Out” competition.  Participants are assigned a theme in the morning and must complete it within a specific time period that day.  Entries are shown at the Dublin Library after the judging. 

DAAL has taken over the Annual Art Show in Summer.  The venue in 2009 was in front of the middle school on Bridge Street.  Members also participate in Slainte Thursday.  They can be seen creating artworks in front of BriHi businesses.  Members’ works can be seen around Dublin throughout the year at the Rec Center, Starbucks, Edward Jones, and National City Bank.

The DAAL meets the second Thursday of the month at the Dublin Public Library.  See http://www.dublinohioart.com/ for more information.

MAP Needs Mattresses

MAP recently sent one of our members this information

Because of the recent economic challenges our country is facing, more and more families are turning to MAP Furniture Bank for help.  Due to local demand, we have a low supply of mattresses for our client families.  Nearly 20 families visit MAP each day and we are struggling to meet their needs. 

Not only do mattresses and other furniture items provide an improved quality of life for our neighbors in need, they can determine if a family stays together.  In Franklin County, children can be removed from their homes if their parents cannot provide a bed.

Donating is Easy!
