Concerned DPS Parents
Darryl Fairchild from Dayton View Triangle
I'm working with other concerned parents of students in DPS. We believe the timing of the proposed cuts are very disruptive and will negatively impact the education of our children and the long term strength of our schools. If you are parent or know someone - please have them contact me (239-0688). We are planning a parent forum on Dec 1. Still working out details - will share when we have them.

Office of Public Affairs, City Hall from City of Dayton

November 22, 2016
Greetings! On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Board Chairperson Robert Downs and myself, we would like to extend our wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one of you.
Greater Dayton Christian Connections has had a very busy year with many social justice items on the agenda that we support, lead and encourage community involvement in. We have been advocating on issues such as gun violence in the community, tolerance and acceptance of multi-faiths and cultures, domestic violence and human trafficking, K-12 efforts for better schools in the community, hunger and poverty in the Miami-Valley, citizen Re-entry efforts and many other efforts. Sometimes it seems like we have taken on more than we can possible handle, but it is with the joint efforts of the community, the melding of the various churches and worship centers and the many volunteers that support our efforts that we can continue to prosper and Connect (as a community), Transform (as believers) and Build (as the children of the Most High God).
Greater Dayton Christian Connections needs your support. Tuesday, November 29, 2016 is Giving Tuesday. After you have had a wonderful time of Thanksgiving festivities with your family, a fabulous time of shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, won't you consider giving a portion of your fortune to help GDCC continue to maintain its' expenses so that we can continue to be advocates for the community of Greater Dayton?
All donations can be sent to GDCC at the address listed above. GDCC is a 501c3 organization and your donation will be tax deductible. If you donate at least $25.00 as an individual, your ticket to the 2017 Interfaith Prayer Breakfast will be included and you will also get a commemorative 25th Anniversary T-Shirt. Sizes are limited so please include your best size fit (small-3x) and we will try to accommodate you to the best of our ability. If the shirt cannot fit you, it makes a great Christmas Present!
Thank you for your generosity!

Subject: Upcoming Three Events
Here are three special gatherings taking place in the next couple of weeks that I hope you will be able to participate in with me!
On November 30, 5 – 7 PM, The Center for Urban Ministry, 1516 Salem Ave, will host a gathering for the purpose of seeking ways that our multi-faith communities can be intentional about the business of awakening and keeping alive the moral conscience of our city, state, nation, and world. The Center offers a neutral place where moral issues can be aired and discussed as we plan how to improve the life of our broader community. We must be concerned about what will now happen to vulnerable groups such as our children, refugees, immigrants, African-Americans, Latinos, Muslims, women, and people in need of health care, etc.
People on the right and the left, and everywhere in between, are frustrated and passionate about not being listened to or heard. As worshipers and believers in the Divine, we are called to be, and work together, as one. This is the essential role people of faith can play. Our places of worship must become venues for more than one-sided thinking on many major issues. They must be a place where dialogues with those who are marginalized and may differ from our perspective, and must be done with respect and in solidarity with and for each other.
Please RSVP to Pastor Robert E. Jones 937-529-2201

The December 7 meeting of the Dayton Diversity and Inclusion Partners (*) will be on Religious Holiday Traditions (and the workplace).
The meeting will begin at 8:00 AM at the Miami Valley Fair Housing Center, 505 Riverside Drive, in Dayton, with a continental breakfast and brief period for networking. The actual program will begin at 8:30 AM (and end no later than 10:00AM).
An RSVP is requested (but unfortunately I don't currently have the link for that! You can let me know if you're coming and I'll pass it on as they want to ensure they have enough food for everyone.)
After brief introductions, our panelists will be asked to address several questions that are of interest to the audience.
The following speakers have agreed to serve as our panel members:
1. Rabbi Karen Bodney-Halasz is the Senior Rabbi of Temple Israel. She works with the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Celebration Committee, and conducts a "pulpit exchange" of clergy with Omega Baptist Church in connection with the holiday celebration. She is active in the civil rights area, and she and Temple Israel have hosted Dayton's Anti-Islamophobia project.
2. Dr. Ramzieh Azmeh, a pediatrician, is a Muslim and was raised in Syria. Ramzieh is a past president of the Interfaith Forum of Greater Dayton. Before coming to Dayton she led other interfaith groups in the Midwest, including Wichita, KS. Dr. Azmeh and her husband, Dr. Wayel Azmeh, have been very active in educating the Dayton community about Islam.
3. Tracy Williams is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon). He is a former bishop of the Centerville congregation, and served as stake president of the Dayton Ohio Stake for 10 years. He currently serves as the Multi-Stake Director of Public Affairs for the church in the Dayton area. His professional career was in city management. He and his wife Karen, a retired attorney, have taught English in Beijing, China, as part of a Brigham University program
4. Having been raised in a multi-faith and multi-cultural family, Dr. Colette Harrison was drawn to the Baha'i Faith in 1985. She became interested, primarily, in its teachings on the unity of mankind and social justice, including the establishment of a global society. Dr. Harrison has worked in various settings, conducting workshops and trainings on healing from trauma & addictions, in the U.S., as well as in Africa, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, Turkey, Montenegro, and Israel.
5. As the Wing Chaplain at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Lieutenant Colonel Theadore "Ted" Wilson advises the Wing Commander and senior staff on religious issues relating to the free exercise of religion by 27,500 military and civilian personnel (and their dependents). He received the Master of Divinity degree in 2001 at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. He supervises a staff of 22, plus 21 contract employees and more than 400 volunteers.
(*) Dayton Diversity and Inclusion Partners (DDIP) is an organization whose vision is to be a valued resource to the greater Dayton business community, promoting Diversity and Inclusion in helping to build a strong workforce and profitable workplace. Our mission is to provide a forum for developing contemporary, real-world diversity and inclusion solutions through: Hands-on practical workshops, Previews of emerging trends and practices, small group discussions focused on critical thought for practical applications. DDIP is an action/results oriented organization, providing members with information, tools and resources that they will take back and effectively implement within their respective organizations. Participating members should be those individuals within companies and organizations who have the responsibility for leading the Diversity and Inclusion initiative and have the authority to execute and implement new practices and strategies.

And then. Also on Dec 7 …
With all optimism that our small attempt to learn and understand each other can make a difference in this uncertain time, we're happy to invite you to this year's third Women's Interfaith Discussion. 11 am to 1pm. We will meet at Temple Israel, home to Dayton's original Reform Jewish congregation. The Reform Jewish movement was the first to ordain women, and Temple Israel just installed its first female Senior Rabbi.
Our topic this time: Salvation and the Afterlife. This topic was suggested twice, and seems to be one of the burning questions we have about each other's faiths. Hopefully we'll learn a little bit, get to tour the Temple, see the Torah scrolls, and enjoy the company of those new friends and now-familiar faces.
Please bring a friend with you - or attend yourself if you haven't done so yet. So far, the discussions have been lively, and questions flow. Feel free to share the flyer below, especially if you are in a leadership role and can reach those who might be interested.
An RSVP if you know you can attend is appreciated. LadiesInterfaith@gmail.com

Subject: Not a Single Pound - Week 1
Thanksgiving is a day for enjoying family, friends, and good food. If you're trying to eat healthy and maintain your weight, you don't have to skip the best meal of the year! The Not A Single Pound challenge recognizes that the five weeks between Thanksgiving and the New Year might be a difficult time to stay physically active and maintain your weight. However, it IS possible to host a healthy and delicious Thanksgiving meal for family and friends that is easy, stress-free, and healthy.
If you're hosting your own Thanksgiving meal, then this is a great opportunity to skim on the calories and make some healthy substitutions. You don't have to go overboard and serve everyone nothing but kale smoothies and celery sticks. Serve whole-grain dinner rolls instead of white rolls; try making creamed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes; sweeten your cranberry sauce using cinnamon and orange juice instead of sugar; or bake a crust-less pumpkin pie that is sweetened with a sugar-substitute such as honey, agave nectar, or applesauce. If you're visiting with friends or relatives for Thanksgiving, bring a healthy dish or two of your own.
While it's O.K. to indulge a bit on Thanksgiving, be careful not to overdo it. Don't skip breakfast or lunch to "save room". When you skip meals, you'll end up overeating due to feeling SO hungry by the time the meal is ready. Instead, eat a high protein and/or high fiber breakfast to keep you from overeating. Another strategy to keep from feeling overstuffed is by giving yourself golf ball-sized portions of everything you want to try. After you're finished eating, step away from the table for a few minutes. Remember, the food isn't going anywhere; you can always come back for more!
By removing yourself from temptation, you'll take the emphasis off of eating and focus on gratitude, giving thanks, and celebrating with your family – not dreading calories. Holiday celebrations with friends are a great opportunity to promote a healthy lifestyle, create excitement around nutritious choices, and share ways to stay active during the holiday. Try these tips and let us know what works for you!
