Fundraising Event for Worthington Firefighters Community Park

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 16:10:51 +0000

Fundraising is nearly complete for the Worthington Firefighters Community Park, with a Firehouse Wine Dinner and used car raffle on July 14, 2010. Worthington firefighters have been raising funds for five years, and are hoping this event will finalize the funding. This park is planned for the grounds of the Worthington Fire Station, to honor all past, present, and future firefighters. The park will include sculptor Ron Dewey’s “Missing But Not Forgotten”, flags, benches, and another fundraiser result; pathways of engraved pavers. The total cost of the project must be met in order to break ground, and is $40,000, of which $33,000 has been raised.

Grateful for the community support already shown, firefighters are hoping this Firehouse Wine Dinner and the auto raffle will complete the fundraising and enable them to break ground. The dinner will be held Wednesday, July 14 at 6:30pm, at the Worthington Inn. Tickets are $75 per person. The wines are by Hook & Ladder winery of Sonoma, California, paired with the food; a gourmet version of firehouse fare. There will be a silent auction, as well as the car raffle for a used car from Tilton Automotive of Worthington. The winner of the raffle will be drawn that evening. To purchase tickets for the dinner or raffle, visit www.worthingtonfirefighters.com or contact Firefighter Ted Heineman at theineman@ci.worthington.oh.us or by calling the Division of Fire at 885-7640.

Red Day 2010

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 19:32:22 +0000

The Columbus Team’s own Edie James helped organize this year’s Red Day project to benefit Nationwide Children’s hospital and the surrounding neighborhoods. Red Day is the Keller Williams national day of service, May 13, and the service this year was a project to clean up and beautify the neighborhoods surrounding the hospital.

162 Keller Williams volunteers picked up litter and debris, collecting 233 bags of litter and 25 bags of recycling, and landscaped two homes owned by the hospital. We’re very proud of Edie and all the Keller Williams volunteers who made this area of Columbus so much cleaner and more beautiful. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Double Feature Screening at Wexner Arts Center

admin — Tue, 11 May 2010 15:00:42 +0000

Fly far away with a fabulous double feature screening of:

“The Pharaoh’s Belt”
(Lewis Klahr, 1993)

and

“The Thief of Bagdad”
(Ludwig Berger, Michael Powell, and Tim Whelan, 1940)

Lewis Klahr is the 2009-10 Wexner Center Residency Award media arts recipient. In this program, Klahr matches his own dazzling film with the exotic 1940s classic.

The Pharaoh’s Belt is “an epic collage-animation journey through a midcentury suburban boy’s imagination.” The Thief of Bagdad, based on The Arabian Nights, is also an adventure into a world of fantasy.
