From: Sandy Gudorf; President, Downtown Dayton Partnership
Subject: Introducing the Real Change Dayton Initiative

June 21, 2017

To our downtown businesses, property owners, and supporters:

Greetings, and thank you for your continued support of downtown Dayton. We at the Downtown Dayton Partnership hope you're enjoying the warm weather and everything downtown has to offer this summer.

I wanted to take a minute to let you know about an initiative we're spearheading to address panhandling issues. I know this has been a concern not only in our downtown community, but across the region and cities nationwide. We have been working with the United Way of Greater Dayton, the City of Dayton, Montgomery County (Health and Human Services), and several other supporting agencies to create a comprehensive campaign that will educate the public about the services these organizations provide, and encourages donations to these agencies, rather than individuals.

Real Change Dayton is a collaborative awareness program that educates the public that there's a better way to give if they truly want to help those in need, and to help ensure those in need receive emergency and long-term services. We realize this is A solution and not THE solution to address the larger issues behind panhandling. We want to reinforce the idea that our community's generosity better serves those who are truly in need when directed to social service agencies in our community.

On Wednesday, June 21, we will publicly introduce the Real Change Dayton campaign. Components of the campaign include marketing materials and options for channeling donations to more appropriate avenues.
   

• Posters, business-sized cards, and brochures will be distributed with information about Real Change Dayton to help spread the word. One set of cards includes information on ways to donate to Real Change Dayton. The other set can be given directly to those in need; it includes the United Way's HelpLine and other information on obtaining services. We plan to distribute these materials to our downtown businesses (in particular our first-floor and consumer-based businesses) for them to share with their staff and customers. Let us know if you would like this information for display or distribution.
• A new website, www.RealChangeDayton.org, will be the hub for information, highlighting local nonprofit and social service organizations and the services they provide to those in need.
• Vibrantly wrapped retired parking meters will serve as collection sites for those who wish to make a monetary donation. Look for them in heavy pedestrian-traveled areas downtown.
• A new text-to-give method provides a way to make mobile donations. All donations collected via meters and digital campaigns will be directed to United Way of the Greater Dayton Area and invested in program that focus on financial stability, positive health outcomes, and emergency services.

If you have any questions at all, please give me a call. Thank you once again for your support of downtown!

Dayton Unit NAACP Town Hall
“Identifying Mental Health Issues in Today’s Youth…HOW CAN I HELP?”

DAYTON, OHIO - JUNE 19, 2017 - The Dayton Unit of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) will host a Town Hall titled, “Identifying Mental Health Issues in Today’s Youth…HOW CAN I HELP?” The event will be held on Monday, June 26, 2017 at 6:30pm at the Dayton Boys Preparatory Academy located at 1923 W. Third St. The distinguished panelist will be Carol A. Prewitt, President of Prewitt Consulting, LLC, Matt Turner, RYT, Instructor at Dayton Yoga Club and Murel Suttles, MSW, LS, Eastway Corporation / Trotwood Middle School. The moderator will be Felicia A. Hill, BSN, RN, Chair of the Dayton Unit NAACP Health Committee.

“The life of a young adult is like riding “The Beast” rollercoaster at Kings Island for more than an hour, said Derrick L. Foward, President of the Dayton Unit NAACP.  The emotional ups and downs, followed by twist and turns, can have a lasting impact on our Nation’s most venerable Citizens. Depression, anxiety, eating disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are all common signs of mental health disorders. When attempting to assist young adults through their adolescence years, let’s be mindful of these symptoms,” said Foward. “To heal our families, communities, nation and world, we must heal our mental health,” said Hill.   Mental Health Matters!

Founded in 1915, the Dayton Unit of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is the city’s oldest and largest nonpartisan civil rights organization. Its members throughout the Dayton Region and Montgomery County are the premier advocates for civil rights in their communities. Their core goals are to Inform, Educate and Empower the Citizenry as they pursue justice and equality for all Americans.

For more information on the Dayton Unit NAACP, please call (937) 222-2172 or visit www.naacpdayton.org

Hi friends of the Peace and Anti-War Movements,

Surprise, DAWN! is sponsoring another demonstration on Saturday July 1 at 1pm at the corner of Salem and Siebethaler.

A leader of DAWN! and formerly September 11 Coalition, Jim Lucas passed away recently. He was a true veteran for peace. This Saturday, June 17, there will be a funeral service  and get together in Cincinnati for Jim. If any one is interested I and Tim are driving down and we can send you more detailed information.

There is an old Movement saying, :A lucha continua -- the struggle continues.

Yes, we mourn Jim this job still remains to end the military adventures of the United States.
