On Saturday, March 13, the historic Dayton Masonic Center will become the finest restaurant in America for one night only, as five celebrated and award-winning chefs combine their talents for the Opera Guild of Dayton’s 2010 premier event, The Masterpiece Ball: An Evening with The Great Chefs. The Great Chefs creating this once-in-a-lifetime evening are Chef Dominique Fortin of C’est Tout, Chef David Glynn of the Wright-Patterson Club, Chef Anne Kearney-Sand of Rue Dumaine, Chef Keith Taylor of Savona and Chef Jared Whalen of L’Auberge. Dinner will include sommelier-selected wines, chosen to complement the menu. The vision for The Masterpiece Ball is due in large measure to the irreplaceable Chef Dieter Krug, who served as Honorary Chair during the conception and planning of this very special evening.
Guests will be seated at glimmering tables inside the two-story, grand dining room of the Dayton Masonic Center, an architectural masterpiece on the National Registry of Historic Places. Following dinner, guests can dance to the incomparable Marygolds band; enjoy Monte Carlo-style gaming at The Balcony Casino; or head to Après, a tented venue offering fine single malt scotches, liqueurs and cigars. The Guild’s traditional Silent Auction will feature a special “culinary” section this year, in addition to the always fabulous array of gifts, packages, and objet d’arts. The Live Auction, featuring the unrivaled talents of auctioneer Doug Sorrell, promises excitement and adventure, with two vacation destinations among the five items up for bid. An enticing Gold Key Raffle features His and Her gold watches by Baume & Mercier.
Proceeds from Opera Gala 2010 support the Guild’s many education programs, including the annual High School and College Vocal Competitions, the Ear for Opera adult lecture series, and the award-winning Children’s Traveling Opera and Opera Marionettes programs. In addition, the Guild is a major contributor to Dayton Opera productions and educational outreach. This year Opera Guild of Dayton is a principal sponsor for the production of Faust. Mark your calendar now so you won’t miss this unforgettable affair.

Calling all Superheroes! Little boys, ages 2 to 6, accompanied by their moms, are invited to dress up as their favorite superhero at a special superhero program at Wright Library on Saturday, March 6 from 3 to 4 p.m. in the library’s meeting room. Play superhero games, get a photo, and draw your own superhero. Bring your camera! Refreshments will be served.

Kids ages 8 and over, accompanied by an adult, are invited to learn the traditional art of Ukrainian egg decoration at Wright Library on Sunday, March 7 from 2 to 4 p.m. The eggs, also known as pysanky eggs, date back to ancient times. The name comes from the Ukrainian verb to write, since you use a stylus (called a kistka) to write with wax on the egg shell. It is a good idea to wear old clothes as the process can sometimes be a little messy!
Space is limited, so be sure to register before March 5. For more information or to register, please contact the Youth Services Department at 294-7171.
