We Care Arts presents Debut Gallery Show!

June 11, 2019 By LIbby Ballengee

Calling all art lovers! The local nonprofit, We Care Arts, is hosting it’s first ever gallery show White Knight this Friday June 14th from 6-8pm at their Berkeley Center studio location at 3035 Wilmington Pike in Kettering. Kick off the weekend with exclusive art pieces, online bidding, a gallery shop and more! Not only are you getting original and unique art, you are supporting an impactful area nonprofit. All proceeds will empower artists to achieve their goals.

We Care Arts believes in the healing power of creating and producing art that transforms physical, developmental and mental health challenges into a future rich with possibilities. Since 1983, We Care Arts has been providing a caring and safe space for artists to engage in artistic exploration as they work through life’s challenges.

This debut dual exhibition show and reception will feature two Dayton-based artists, Teresa White and Mitchell Knight, from We Care Arts. Teresa White is a sculptor from Dayton, OH.  She enjoys creating whimsical animal shapes, drawing inspiration from colors and forms in nature. She finds happiness in the process of developing each piece and sharing her art with others. Mitchell Knight is a painter from Dayton, OH.  He graduated from Chaminade Julienne High School.  Mitchell enjoys art because it allows him to focus on what he is creating and enjoy that moment.  Mitchell specializes in abstract paintings on canvas, and is inspired by the lines and shapes found in art by Paul Klee. 

Both artists attend programming at We Care Arts where they have developed collections.  Teresa’s unique ceramic pieces have become quite popular at the studio.  Mitchell creates modern acrylic paintings that have been quite popular among buyers. Mitchell also currently has a piece on display in the VSA Ohio’s Accessible Expressions Ohio statewide exhibition for 2019.

Art by Mitchell Knight created at We Care Arts – Berkley Studio

How To Go?

Friday June 14th from 6-8pm

We Care Arts is located at 3035 Wilmington Pike in Kettering, OH just south of Dorothy Lane and across from Eudora Brewery.

Plea For Help, Turns to Dream Come True

May 21, 2019 By The Food Adventures Crew Leave a Comment

**** UPDATE to OUR PREVIOUS ARTICLE “HAMBURGER WAGON OWNER’S PLEA FOR HELP” ****

In a world of sad news, this story will restore your faith of people, and shows how special people are in the Miami Valley.  As you may recall we had been following the story of HAMBURGER WAGON OWNER JACK SPERRY.  He was fighting a lifelong illness, of all things called “Berger’s” disease.  The progression of this syndrome, leaves the person with a gradual decline in kidney function over a 15 year period, eventually resulting in renal failure.

TIME OF NEED

It was early 2019, Jack had run out of time, he had just turned 56 years old and his kidney function was bordering on 15%.  The doctors told him he was weeks away from dialysis, and he needed a new kidney.

Along with our readers, many news and social outlets reached out to the community.  The response was overwhelming.  There were so many requests for donors, that the University of Cincinnati hospital had to put a pause on processing any more matches for Jack.

Alex and Jack – Pre Operation

WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

As the first batch of tests came through, he had a match.  But they had to do more tests to make sure the match was exact.  It was.  Even more incredible, is that match was his fiancee Alex Frazier.  Against all reasonable odds, it was fate that she would be his hero.  Jacks chances were looking better.

Surgery was scheduled for Monday May 20th at University of Cincinnati.  The plan was to take one of Alex’s regular functioning kidneys and insert it into Jacks abdomen and connect it to his existing 2 kidneys.  Alex would be left with one kidney, which is strong enough that she could function normally with it.

As this past weekend went by, Jack visited with friends and relaxed.  He talked with The Food Adventures Crew and  rubbed it in that he had landed a Rock N Green Tomato Festival sponsor just hours before surgery.  “Im in renal failure and still kicking butt” he joked.

SURGERY DAY

Surgery was performed Monday May 20th, in the morning.   Then, the first word came through Monday afternoon,  a friend wrote on Facebook.  “Alex and Jack are out of surgery, Alex is recovering well and Jack’s new kidney is performing wonderfully.”  This was the first news, and it was tremendous news.

RECOVERY

Today (Tuesday May 21st) we received some joking texts from Jack and an eventual phone call.  Jack is sore as they have reduced his pain meds and he has gotten out of bed for the first time.  Joking about his high school football days at Centerville, he said “I should be back in the locker room in a few days, but I will have some stadium steps to run as punishment for missing practice.”  Asked how he feels, he said he is very sore.  He also said that Alex was in pain yesterday too, understandably.  He should improve every day and after a few weeks he will be cleared to drive again.  “I am hoping to be at the Rock N Green Tomato Fest.” he said.  We told him good, because Elvis, was looking forward to it.

THANK YOU

On behalf of the Sperry family, and Alex Heeter and the Frazier family, thank you for your support.  In a time of need, to see so many generous people willing to take a risk to help save someones life is a lesson in humanity.  We are cautiously optimistic that Jack and Alex will have a speedy recovery and a chance at a long, love filled life.  The MostMetro.com family is grateful to call them friends, and also to have friends like the many of you who signed up to donate for Jack.

Are you curious about podcasts or a current podcast listener? Interested in creating your own podcast? Already podcasting and want to connect with other area podcasters? If you are anywhere on that spectrum, you are welcome to join The Gem City Podcast for their upcoming event Dayton Podfest at the Brightside Music & Event Center on Saturday March 30, 2019. This is a celebration of local podcasts and the ever growing world of podcasting.

What is a podcast? A podcast is essentially talk radio, but on demand. You can listen for free on websites and podcast platforms like iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, among others. Gem City Podcast is the first podcast dedicated to Dayton Ohio specifically. The GCP crew has been highlighting area stories since 2013 and over 700 episodes, and was recently voted “Best Dayton Podcast.”

Beyond creating 3 podcasts weekly, the GCP crew is also enthusiastic about creating a sense of community among area podcasters. They’ve started a monthly meet up on the second Tuesday of the month, and organized Dayton Podfests, where they host a workshop for newbies, a networking hour, and a host of live Dayton podcasts.

Even if you can’t attend the event, purchasing a pre-sale ticket for $10 or $20 is a great way to make a donation to the Gem City Podcast crew and the great work they’ve been doing for the Dayton community! To do so, click here.

Honey Baked Ham For A Cause!

March 10, 2019 By Dayton Most Metro

How many of you celebrate Easter with a Honey Baked Ham?  Did you know that your ham purchase can else make a difference in our community?

You don’t have to spend any extra money, just buy a Honey Baked gift card online and 20% of your purchase will be donated to the Junior League of Dayton (JLD). You can then use your gift card to make the purchase you normally would at Honey Baked Hams.  You’ve got until April 30th to buy gift cards that will benefit the JLD.

The Dayton chapter of Junior League held its first meeting on Oct. 31, 1919, at the Dayton Woman’s Club. Officially chartered in February 1920, it was admitted to membership in the Junior Leagues of America (now AJLI ) that same year, making Dayton the second League in Ohio.

From its original 10 founding members. the Junior League of Dayton has grown to 300 members today. Then, as now, their purpose is to foster interest among women in social, economic, educational, civic, and cultural conditions of the community and to make their volunteer service efficient and effective and it open to women 22 years of age or older.

Funds raised will help JLD with promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving their communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.
