Our second Kettering Rotary Club STRIVE event… we had 33 Fairmont seniors in attendance. They loved their guest speaker Atalie Gagnet! Atalie Gagnet of Dayton, Ohio is a mural graphics and sign painter since 2003. She has painted for the Guggenheim and Architectural Digest for Art Basel Miami. She is driven by serving small businesses and communities through her work. She designed the mural on the Rosewood Arts Centre. The students as well became artists themselves - designing Gelli Art Prints!
 
Thank you Kettering Fairmont High School for letting your students participate today. Thank you to Missy Mae Walters and Melinda Moore for a great lunch, speaker and project! Thank you to all the mentors who came to support their students. It was truly fun. 
Close to 20 residents, staff and Rotarians enjoyed the performance of Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra's String Quintet at Mary Irene Gardens on Monday, 23 January.  Mary Irene Gardens is one of the four Franklin Foundation's fixed-income senior housing apartment buildings in Kettering that Kettering Rotary supports.  The quintet's cellist, Christina Coletta, said that it was wonderful for them to perform for an adult audience -- their last four "gigs" had been for grade school audiences!  The repertoire was mostly classical with several nostalgic pieces at the end.  The bassist, Jon Pascolini, said that this particular double bass was handmade of spruce and maple.  The maker numbered each instrument he made.  This is #9 and there is an ~6-inch "9" etched on the back; he etched the 9 planets on the back also.
