Twin Towers Neighborhood

Lincoln Hill Gardens
401 Nassau Street
Dayton, OH 45410

RSVP

About the Location: Known as Lincoln Hill Gardens, this five-acre site perched atop a great view of Dayton's skyline is being transformed into a sustainable multipurpose site with educational and recreational elements that increase neighborhood access to fresh, healthy foods and offers open green space for community gatherings and nature play.

We're excited for the opportunity to bring community activists from the Twin Towers neighborhood and all over the Miami Valley to break bread together and discuss Dayton's future. The Lincoln Hill Gardens has an amazing future ahead of it and we're excited to hold our next meal there on Earth Day!

Would you be willing to host a table at the April event?

Each table of 6 to 8 people is hosted by a volunteer who gently guides the conversation and assures everyone has a chance to share their thoughts. It's an important role, but it's not too tough. Give it a try!

Subject: Montgomery Co. officials share strategies in fight against opiates

Coalition, we continue to share our efforts with others who are working to develop coalitions and we learn new ideas from their efforts as well. We made a recent trip to our neighbors to the north east to share ideas and work that we are doing.

Subject: DDN understates WSU basketball coach's annual salary by a LOT

See http://www.mydaytondailynews.com/news/team-payroll-project-wright-state-highest-paid-employees/jEhmPrBlUk1N96lN9WDwnM/ for the DDN article below. Notice that the article lists the basketball coach as $374,772. I am quite sure than this is how much WSU paid him in 2016, since his annual salary is $500,000 and he started on April 4, 2016. "Do the math."

Wright State's 10 highest paid employees make more than $320K
Posted: 5:20 a.m. Tuesday, April 04, 2017

As Wright State University officials prepare this week to lay out proposed budget and staff cuts to address a growing budget deficit, the I-Team acquired a copy of the university's payroll for calendar year 2016 using Ohio public records laws.

Search the database of 1,537 workers who made more than $50,000 last year HERE.

These records show the number of WSU employees paid more than $200,000 grew from 61 in 2015 to 73 in 2016.

The public-university's highest paid employee last year was David Hopkins, who recently stepped down early from his post as president. Hopkins brought in $563,266 in 2016. This is down from previous years, when he was paid more than $800,000 — his total compensation in 2014 was more than $1 million.

The university also gave a pay cut to Marjorie Bowman, who was WSU's second highest paid employee in 2015, bringing in more than $500,000 even after she stepped down as head of the medical school. Her pay was $283,124 in 2016.

I-TEAM: WSU med school dean steps down, keeps $500K salary

Among those who got pay hikes were Thomas Sudkamp, whose promotion from vice president of curriculum to provost came with a $35,060 pay bump.

The 10 highest-paid Wright State employees in 2016 were:

David Hopkins, president: $563,266
Margaret Dunn, dean of surgery $499,297
Glen Solomon, professor/chair of medicine $413,894
Mary McCarthy, professor of surgery $412,502
Timothy Broderick, Wright State Research Institute chief scientist: 412,499
Scott Nagy, head men's basketball coach: $374,772

Akpofure Ekeh, professor of surgery: $343,516
Robert Sweeney, professor and vice president of planning: $322,209

Subject: The Dayton Foundation Hits A Major Milestone

April 2017

Dear David,

Spring has arrived! Read more below about the great things happening at The Dayton Foundation.

The Dayton Foundation Surpasses $500 Million in Assets

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, The Dayton Foundation recently achieved a major milestone in its 96-year history. As of December 31, 2016, the Foundation reached $505.4 million in current community assets. This ranks the Foundation among the top 5 percent of all U.S. community foundations in total assets under management.

We want to thank our donors, financial and estate-planning partners and nonprofit organizations for their commitment to Greater Dayton and their belief in The Dayton Foundation. For more on this remarkable milestone, click here.

Encore Fellows Wanted to Help Advance Four Community Initiatives

Four Dayton-area, not-for-profit organizations recently were selected to participate in The Dayton Foundation's Del Mar Encore Fellow Initiative. This three-year pilot program launched last fall, thanks to a $1 million grant from Del Mar Healthcare and its DHM-Fund of The Dayton Foundation.

Skilled, older adults, who are retired or transitioning from careers, may apply to serve as Fellows and be matched with one of the selected nonprofit initiatives, which are addressing poverty, adult illiteracy, educational gaps and veteran homelessness. For more information about these initiatives, as well as how to submit an application to become a Fellow, click here

We Help You Help Others^SM Donor Story

When Frank Zorniger passed away in 2008, he was remembered not only as the owner of Frank Z Chevrolet, but also as a passionate local philanthropist and gardener who gave back to the community that he loved. After a European trip in the early 1970s, Frank and his wife, Nancy, were inspired to bring the beauty of Holland back to Dayton.

Read how Nancy is continuing her and her late husband's love of gardening by helping a local arboretum plant and maintain thousands of flowers each spring through a Dayton Foundation donor-advised fund they established more than two decades ago.

Conservation Fund Helps Protect Greater Dayton's Natural Resources

In honor of Earth Day on April 22, we celebrate the Greater Dayton Conservation Fund of The Dayton Foundation, which supports efforts to preserve and protect the community's abundant natural resources and amenities.

Click here to read more and watch a video about the great work happening through the fund to ensure that our region's natural treasures will be enjoyed for generations to come.
