LUNAFEST

Sunday June 5  from 3:00-5:00 pm
at the Neon, 130 E. 5th Street 

This national festival of women's films features six award-winning short films that are international in scope, plus a short film by local filmmaker Aisha Ford. The films examine women's stories told through the lens of women filmmakers in places ranging from Dayton, Ohio to the Philippines, Cuba and Iran.  The diverse, thought-provoking stories for 2016 include challenges facing a woman boxer, a deaf woman dealing with cancer, the effects of drug addiction, raising a transgender child and more.

Films can be previewed at:

Funds raised by this event will go to the Breast Cancer Fund and to Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region.  Tickets are $10.00 ($5.00 for students) & donations over this amount are gratefully accepted. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Neon. The event is sponsored locally by Dayton Women's Rights Alliance and the Dayton chapter of the American Association of University Women.

NCCJ 2016 Summer Camps
Register today!

NCCJ offers two exceptional summer camp opportunities. Young people can develop new skills while making friends and having fun!

Anytown Youth Leadership Institute is an intensive, one-week residential camp with lessons, and friends, that last a lifetime.  Held at Camp Joy in Clarksville, OH, students immerse themselves in creative exercises as they explore topics such as racism, gender identity, disability and economic  status.  Our experienced staff and trained volunteers (many are Anytown grads) help these teens open their minds to new perspectives. By the end of the week, these young people have the skills and confidence to speak up for themselves and others!

Dates: Sunday, June 19 - Friday, June 24

Subject: Ombudsman Weekly Update 5-27-2016

Your Ombudsman Office opened a dozen cases this week on Child Support, Medicaid, Social Security, Greater Dayton Premier Management, Trotwood Taxation, Trotwood Water, and the Division of Unclaimed Funds for households in Dayton, Englewood, Huber Heights, Riverside and Trotwood.  We provided information or brief assistance to another 25 callers on matters including City of Dayton Housing Inspection, Montgomery County Courts, Food Stamps, Medicaid, the IRS, Medicare, Social Security, services for the homeless, landlord and tenant matters, the Attorney General's Office, the State Medical Board and the Ohio Public Utilities Commission.  These persons live in Dayton, Englewood, Harrison Township, Huber Heights, the Montgomery County Jail, Moraine, Riverside, and Trotwood. 

Our Long-term Care Ombudsmen initiated investigations in four area facilities this week on complaints about staff failure to respond to requests; personal hygiene; housekeeping and cleanliness; lost personal property; mismanagement of personal funds; menu quality and quantity; care plans that are not followed; and unwanted discharges. We participated in seven surveys of the Department of Health by providing information about our verified complaints in those seven facilities and other information gleaned from our volunteer and staff visits to the homes.  We visited four nursing homes this week, and talked to six individuals about residents' rights and how to select a long-term care facility.

In addition, we advocated for residents at four discharge hearings, and know that in two cases the resident will be able to remain.  We are awaiting a decision on the other two.  We are also involved in two investigations of financial exploitation of residents by relatives or acquaintances.
