On Thursday, Nov. 9, The Muse Machine will partner with Town & Country Fine Art Gallery for a gala event, Starry, Starry Night. The event will be held in the gallery space, located near the back entrance of Town & Country Shopping Center, 300 Stroop Rd., Kettering. Tickets for the event are $35 per person and proceeds will benefit both non-profit organizations.
Starry, Starry Night will be held from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. A live auction will begin at 6:30 p.m. Gallery artists will be creating original artwork in the Starry, Starry Night theme for the auction. In addition to the auction, Muse Machine students will be performing.
Several fine area restaurants have agreed to be a part of this gala event.
Josef Reif at L’Auberge Restaurant in Kettering will be among those providing hors d’oeuvres for the evening.
Denise Rehg, President and CEO of Culture Works says about the event, “We are always excited to see collaborative efforts like this happen. They’re entertaining, but they’re also an educational opportunity. Friends of both organizations will have a fun-filled starry night while getting to know each other and the organizations better – and they will also be supporting the important work these groups do for our community.”
Town & Country Fine Art Gallery is a cooperative of local artists established in 1994. The gallery features museum quality art including oil, acrylic and watercolor paintings, photography, sculpture, wood, pottery, glass, jewelry and more. The gallery’s community outreach includes art scholarships and internships, hosted art shows and a series of classes specifically designed for those with life-altering illnesses.

“All I ever wanted to be is a mom,” says Jeanne White-Ginder. But in the late 1980s and early 1990s, she became one of the nation’s most recognized moms as she stood alongside her son Ryan to fight for his right to attend school after his AIDS diagnosis.
Jeanne White-Ginder will speak to a reception for major donors of AIDS Resource Center Ohio on Saturday, Nov. 11, beginning at 7 p.m. at the home of Bob and Nancy Shiffler, 414 Oakwood Ave., in Oakwood.
Sixteen years after Ryan’s death, Jeanne continues to dedicate herself to his dream of easing the stigma and discrimination faced by so many people with HIV/AIDS. As only a mother can do, she tells about her family’s experience and the role that Ryan played in opening so many hearts and minds. She also remains a vocal advocate for HIV/AIDS programs, including the federal $2 billion Ryan White CARE Act. One of Ryan’s new friends at Cicero was Jill (Waibel), who was then president of the student council. She is now a dermatologist practicing in the Dayton area.
When Dr. Waibel recently met AIDS Resource Center Ohio director Bill Hardy, she told him that knowing Ryan White changed her life and is the reason she entered the medical field. In her practice, Waibel continues to see persons with AIDS to whom she typically donates her services. Her long-time connection with Jeanne White-Ginder was key in bringing Ryan’s mother to the November 11 event in Dayton.

A concert in celebration of the one hundreth anniversary of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Xenia Avenue and Allen Street, will take place on Sunday, Nov. 12 at 3 p.m. A musical trio comprised of Robert Portune, bagpipes, Nancy Cunningham, voice, and Oakwood resident Kathryn Maresca, organist, will perform a series of musical works by Mozart, Bach, Gounod and others.
On Monday, Nov. 13 at 6:30 p.m., the Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Historical Society, with the support of the Ohio Humanities Council, presents “Katherine Wright”, a portrayal of the younger sister of Orville and Wilbur Wright by Betty Darst, local historian and dramatist.
Betty formerly directed Library Media Services for the Springfield City School and is an Adjunct Professor at Wright State University. She has traveled extensively and conducted an intense personal study of history and drama in order to bring to life some of Ohio’s most extraordinary women. For fourteen years she has performed in front of audiences nationwide.
This event is free and open to the public. The business update will begin at 6:30 p.m. with the program following at 7 p.m. in the Sanctuary of The Bellbrook Presbyterian Church, 72 W. Franklin St., Bellbrook.
Some newspaper articles have stated that there would have been “no Kitty Hawk without Kitty Wright”. Katherine was a teacher and a suffragette in her own right and the second woman to serve on Oberlin College’s Board of Trustees. Plan to come and hear “the rest of the story.” The Ohio Humanities Council, who sponsors Betty’s appearance, is a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The Oakwood Historical Society is holding its annual Founders’ Day Dinner, Thursday, Nov. 16 at the Dayton Country Club. Tickets are $35 per person which includes hors d’oeuvres and a three course dinner.

To make reservations, please call Doris Dobeleit at 293-9747. Include entrée choice of: Roast pork loin, grilled Atlantic salmon filet or chicken picata with reservation. Reservation deadline is Monday, Nov. 13.

Oakwood’s Wright Memorial Public Library knows it’s hard for book lovers to keep track of titles they might enjoy - whether newly published or older classics. That’s why the library is making a service available that delivers news about books directly to patrons’ email boxes. Newsletters range from bestseller lists to new fiction and nonfiction to genre fiction (e.g., mystery, romance and science fiction) and more. Newsletters devoted to teens’ and children’s books are also available. Library patrons can sign up for as many newsletters as they would like at no charge. Most newsletters are sent monthly. To see the full list of e-newsletters available from Wright Library and to subscribe, visit www.wrightlibrary.org and click on “BookLetters sign-up.”
Each newsletter usually presents two to six titles with a brief description of each. Subscribers can link directly from the description of the book to the library’s catalog where they can request the title and be notified when it is available.
Book lovers too busy to sit down with a book might want to subscribe to Chapter A DayTM and receive an audio recording of a book chapter every day in their email box. Members of book groups may enjoy “Book Club Choices,” which provides monthly news about paperback choices sure to promote lively discussion.
The BookLetters newsletters are also available on the library’s Web site for viewing at any time. “Using Web and email technology to reach out to book lovers is a logical extension of library service,” said library director Ann Snively. “We need to make it easy for people to take advantage of the library’s resources. Emailing our patrons with news about books is one way for the library to meet the needs of busy people. I encourage everyone to visit Wright Library’s Web site and sign up for BookLetters today.”
Wright Memorial Public Library is located at 1776 Far Hills Avenue in Oakwood. Questions?

The City of Oakwood is conducting the annual leaf collection program through Friday, December 22, 2006. The city is divided into ten sections with each being collected on a 2-week interval. The leaf collection program follows the same schedule as the brush and branch collection program. Leaves are to be placed in the street gutter and the brush and branch material in the tree lawn (the area behind the curb, just off the street). The two materials must not be co-mingled. Also, please remember that the leaf collection season is limited to the 10-week period in the fall of each year. Leaves should only be placed in the street during the fall program. All other times of the year, leaves and incidental yard debris must be placed with the brush and branch piles behind the curb, or, if in small quantities, with the regular household trash.
The brush and branch map found in the October-November “Oakwood Scene” shows the scheduled dates for these pickups. The city will make every effort to stay on this schedule, but may vary a bit from time to time based on weather conditions and other factors.
To help the city provide the best possible service, please remember the following things:
During the 10-week collection season, all leaves should be raked directly into the street gutter. Please make an effort to do this just a day or two before the scheduled pickup and make sure to pile the leaves in a narrow row to least obstruct the traveled roadway.
Under no circumstance should you place brush, branches or other yard debris in the street gutter with the leaves.
Do not bag the leaves - leave them loose.
Do not park vehicles in the street on the day your area is scheduled for leaf pickup.
Do not place pumpkins, corn stalks or bales of straw in with the leaves or your brush and branch materials.
The standard yard debris pickup and dumpster programs will continue through the leaf collection season. However, as in the past, the special pickup program willbe suspended from October 16, 2006 until January 3, 2007. Please wait until after January 3, 2007 to schedule pickups for the 2007 calendar year.
If you have any additional questions, please contact Theresa Caldwell or Ken Perkins at the Public Works Center (298-0777).
Registration is currently being taken for Adult Co-ed Volleyball (limited to 8 teams), Adult 4-on-4 Basketball (limited to 6 teams), Youth Basketball boys and girls grades 1-6. Call the Oakwood Community Center,
298-0775 for more information.
