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.

This week we met with our STRIVE students for a fun morning of bowling, pizza and soda and a great speaker Ty Corbitt. It was a great way to connect with students and hear inspiring words that lifted us all up. What fun it was to see the kids bowling (wild swings everywhere) and here laughter and encouragement. We appreciate all the members and mentors who joined us. Thank you to Missy Mae and the counselors at Fairmont for putting it all together. 
 
What a great day for Rotarians and friends to come together! Our second year at Holiday at Home, making poffertjes and some much needed club funds. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and supported our efforts. Extra big thanks to Chair Kathy Lindahl and Batter Making Queen, June Smith. We appreciate all our members and friends who stepped up to help. As you can see - we made new friends, had fun and spread some Rotary joy. IMAGINE what we can do!
