Greater Miami Valley Math Circle
To students and parents in Greater Miami Valley Area,
Last year, Wright State University spearheaded the launch of the Greater Miami Valley Math Circle. We have instructors from several area colleges and universities, along with private industry, and students and parents from several local schools.
We will begin the 2015-2016 academic year on Saturday August 22 with Student/Parent Orientation. All groups will meet on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of every month from 10:30am-Noon in the Mathematical and Microbiological (MM) Building at Wright State University. Please see the attached sheet for a more detailed schedule. Our math circle has three groups:
· Beginning (suggested grades 5-7)
· Intermediate (suggested grades 7-9)
· Advanced (suggested grades 9-12)—MUST have completed Algebra I or equivalent by time of membership
Highlights from last year include:
· Talks on "The Wonders of Probability" by Dr. Po-Shen Loh, Associate Professor at Carnegie-Melon University and National Lead Coach for the U.S. International Math Olympiad Team.
o The team ranked honorable first place this year after 21 years of missing the honor!
· We hosted the American Mathematics Contest 8th Grade Test for our younger members, an opportunity that most area schools do not offer their students.
o We will continue hosting the Contest this year on Saturday, November 21, 2015.
· Students were invited to participate in the Ohio Mathematics Contest and Physics Test, held every April at Wright State University.
o Scholarships to Wright State are awarded to top scorers!
· Enrichment talks and workshops were given to the Advanced Group by prominent scholars and area teachers once per month.
Math circles are for students who are enthusiastic about learning mathematics and enriching their problem solving skills in creative and innovative ways.

Dayton FOP endorses Fairchild for City Commissioner
The Dayton Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), Lodge 44 endorses Darryl Fairchild for Dayton City Commissioner. After a thorough discernment process, the membership voted for the endorsement. Fairchild is running for one of two City Commission seats that are up for election on Nov. 3. (Click here to see the official endorsement letter.)
"I am honored to receive the endorsement of the FOP. I value the opportunity they gave me to share my vision and priorities for the city. I thank them for their endorsement and confidence in me. I look forward to partnering with them to put our neighborhoods back together and to make our community stronger," said Fairchild.
Fairchild is a Dayton native who grew up in Belmont and now lives in Dayton View. For more than 25 years, he has worked to strengthen the Dayton community and advocate for justice. He founded VoteDayton/Lift Greater Dayton and the Greater Dayton Interfaith Forum. He was a member of the steering committee which created the Dayton Dialogue on Race Relations. He is appointed by the Dayton City Commissioners to the Human Relations Council and by the Montgomery County Commissioners to the Greater Dayton Premier Management Board. He continues to be a strong advocate of voting rights, neighborhood improvement and programs for youth. Fairchild is a husband, a father and a United Methodist minister.

Subject: [DaytoniansAgainstWarNow] Hiroshima Day
On August 6, 1945, the United States initiated the nuclear age with its bombing of Hiroshima and this was followed by the bombing of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. Between the initial blasts and the deaths from nuclear poisoning nearly 400,000 people died and many more were permanently injured.
It has been a major part of our movements to remember these events and pledge ourselves to stop this madness.
We in the Dayton Anti-War and Peace Movements have had a vigorous discussion about the activities for Hiroshima Day and we decided that we will have a two part Event:
FIRST: An Active commemoration at Carillon Park and Patterson at from 5 - 5:50 pm to show our opposition to war and the use of nuclear weapons.
SECOND: A Tranquil commemoration will follow from 5:30 -6pm as a time to share our feelings about Hiroshima and our countries pursuit of war as a major part of foreign policy. This will be further in Carillon Park along the path following the river.
