The Unforgettables
Apr. 28, 2021
The greatest tragedy is the death of a child that can come upon a family. The Unforgettables Foundation was created as a response to an unrecognized gap almost a generation ago. Since 2000, The Unforgettables Foundation (TUF), which was founded by Tim Evans, a children's hospital chaplain, along with other community leaders, has helped families struggling to afford a simple and timely funeral for their child. They have given out hundreds of thousands of dollars to over 5000 cases where parents were struggling to afford a simple timely funeral for their child. Jared Still founded the Ohio Chapter of the Unforgettables Foundation in the local area, The Unforgettables Foundation of Southern Ohio, which is to enable low-income families to give their children a dignified burial. Jared has a passion for giving back to the local area. One of the main reason Jared has looked into starting a foundation was because of the sudden loss of his brother Greg back in 2005. He understands and empathizes with families that are going through the grieving process and is wanting to make this process for families as dignified as possible. |

Author: Hockey in Dayton
May 05, 2021
Chuck Gabringer is a Dayton hockey historian and lifelong resident of the city. His family's ties to hockey date back to the beginning of the Dayton Gems in 1964. He was a member of the Dayton Hockey Hall of Fame election committee and one of the organizers of the Lefty McFadden College Hockey Invitational, which took place at the Ervin J. Nutter Center from 2002 to 2007. In the 1950s, crowds that equaled half the city of Troy's population filled the newly constructed 3,900-seat Hobart Arena to watch the area's first hockey team, the Troy Bruins, take the ice. In the 1960s and 1970s, fans packed one of hockey's great "barns," Hara Arena, to watch the Dayton Gems become one of the more well-known and successful franchises in all of professional hockey. In the 1990s and 2000s, it was the Dayton Bombers that reignited the area's love for hockey. 'Hockey in Dayton' tells the story of the teams, players, people, and events that have permanently frozen hockey's place in the history of Dayton area sports. |

Sep. 05, 2021 9:00 a.m. - Sep. 06, 2021 7:00 p.m.
Calling all Rotarians. We are so excited to have our new fundraiser coming up on September 5 & 6 (Sunday & Monday) - our Holiday at Home Kettering Rotary Poffertjes booth!!! And we need your help!
Volunteers are needed to help make and “decorate“ the Poffertjes, to collect money and hand out the orders. I have set up the schedule for 2 hour shifts for both Sun and Mon, with the beginning shift as part of set-up and the ending shift as part of clean-up. We are looking for 4 people per shift and if you want to do more than 1 shift - please feel free to sign up for consecutive shifts. This is a time when we ask you to recruit your friends and family to volunteer with us - it is a great way to introduce someone to Rotary.
What are poffertjes? Mini buckwheat & yeast Dutch pancakes topped with lots of butter, powdered sugar and toppings! (It's really all about those toppings!)
It's easy and fun to make them. We hope to have this become a signature item associated with our club. We might have a 'learning curve' this year - but for sure we'll have a lot of fun!
