Oakwood resident Patricia Rau will co-chair the Learning Tree Farm 9th Annual Antiques Appraisal. Pat is the Executive Director at the Farm. Pat co-chairs with Mike Hennessey, a volunteer who has been involved in the Antiques Appraisal since the beginning. Pat and Mike co-chaired the event last year, which was its most successful year.
This year the Antiques Appraisal Event will again be held at Carillon Park, on Saturday, Feb. 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. In addition to appraisals, which are $5 each, limit three, there will be door prizes, raffles, silent auctions, and food. Admission to the event is free and you are welcome to attend, even, if you are not having an item appraised.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Learning Tree Farms children’s programming. The Farm is a 501(c) (3) non profit organization. The mission of Learning Tree Farm is to provide a year round hands-on learning experience in a traditional farm setting. The Farm is located at 3376 South Union Road in Dayton. The farm has been serving the Miami Valley Community for 36 years.
The Oakwood High School Student Council and Cricket Communications, Inc, a leading provider of unlimited wireless services, and Community Blood Center continue their partnership this school year to present the 2008–09 edition of the Blood Center’s annual high school blood drive on Wednesday, Feb. 25 from 8:15 a.m. to 12 noon in the west gym at OHS.
Cricket has joined the Community Blood Center for a third year in making this blood drive both fun and educational, and providing incentives for students who donate. Once students donate, they’ll receive a “Donors Rock Hero Tour” concert-style t-shirt as a thank you for helping to save lives. The public is invited to donate at this event as well. High school donors must be at least 17 years old (16 years old with signed parental consent form), weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health. Parental consent forms for 16-year-old donors are available online at www.givingblood.org or from a Community Blood Center repre sentative.
Parental consent is not required by law for 17-year olds; however, individual high schools may require parental consent for all student blood donors. Donors are required to provide a photo ID that includes their full name. Past CBC donors are also asked to bring their CBC donor ID card. Individuals with eligibility questions are invited to email canidonate@cbccts.org or call 1(800)388- GIVE. For more information call 297-532
