Christopher’s Theme Thursday’s Inspired by Germany for April

April 4, 2010 By Lisa Grigsby Leave a Comment

christophersdiningroomSpecializing in home cooked food, featuring local foods (long before it was trendy), Christopher’s Restaurant & Catering is truly one of Dayton’s hidden gems. Walk in and you’ll instantly know this is not a chain restaurant.  The homey atmosphere and the genuine hospitality you feel from the staff set the tone for a meal that’s often not fancy, but always fresh and flavorful. The restaurant has earned the love of vegetarian’s and often features vegan entree’s, but also appeals to the meat lover, too.

In 2010, Christopher’s has been featuring Theme Thurdsday’s and April’s inspiration comes from Germany. You can enjoy a 3 course meal for $18.95 or just order off the regular menu.  Below are the upcoming menu’s:

Thursday April 8th
Appetizer: Smoked Salmon over pan-fried potato cakes.
Entrée: Wiener Schnitzel (pork) over egg noodles topped with cognac cream sauce.
Dessert: Black Forest Cake

Thursday April 15th
Appetizer: Chicken Liver Pate
Entrée: Pork chop stuffed with old fashioned dressing served with sauerkraut and home-made apple sauce.
Dessert: Bavarian Cream Cake

Thursday April 22nd
Appetizer: Smoked Salmon Mousse
Entrée: Beef Tongue served with horseradish cream sauce, parsley potatoes and sautéed spinach with mushrooms and garlic.
Dessert: Apple Strudel

Thursday April 29th
Appetizer: Hand breaded onion rings
Entrée: Sauerbraten (beef) with gravy, spatzle and sweet and sour red cabbage.
Dessert: German Chocolate Cake

How you can help your community for the next 10 years

April 1, 2010 By Lisa Grigsby Leave a Comment

censusDid you know that in only 10 minutes, you can help your local community for 10 years? That’s because the answers that every Ohioan gives to the 10 simple questions on the 2010 Census questionnaire will impact Ohio for the next 10 years!

This year’s form covers things like how many people live in your household; whether you live in an apartment, mobile home, or a house; and the age and race of each person living in the home. This information is used to determine how Ohio is represented in electoral votes. In recent years, our state has been a battleground state for U.S. presidential races, with our 20 electoral votes often helping determine who would represent our country. How many Ohioans respond to the 2010 Census will have an impact on the number of electoral votes our state has in elections for the next 10 years, with congressional districts adjusted or redrawn to account for population shifts in each state.

More importantly, our responses also help determine how much of the more than $400 billion of federal funding each year is spent in Ohio for not only services like job training centers, but also building roads, hospitals, and schools. We’ve seen how important these investments are in times like these, and we are calling on all Ohio Ambassadors to help others understand the importance of filling out their forms.

As Ohio Ambassadors, you have a unique opportunity to tell your business partners, family, friends, and neighbors about how important just 10 minutes will be to our future. Half of our state has not responded to the form as of this week, and we need every Ohioan counted if we want to continue to support the people and communities of our state. We’re encouraging you to make a difference in your community by filling out your form today and spreading the word about how every person can impact the lives of their neighbors, family, and friends for the next 10 years.

If you or someone you know did not receive a 2010 Census form, please visit the Ohio 2010 Census Web page or the 2010.census.gov site to find a Census Help Center nearest you to pick up a questionnaire and be counted!

Introducing The Growler Co-Op!

March 26, 2010 By Lisa Grigsby 1 Comment

growlerBlind Bobʼs, South Park Tavern, Thai 9 and the Trolley Stop have joined forces to offer to-go growlers. All four locations are known as places to get great draft beers, now you can take home some of these draft beers.

How It Works:
Purchase an empty 1/2 gallon growler from any of the four locations for $10. Have it filled with draft beer at any of the four locations. Price for filling growlers will vary depending on the price of the beer itself. The cost will be anywhere from $12 to $30.  While youʼre there enjoy a pint or two of great beer. Take home the full growler, enjoy and repeat. Bring your empty growler back in for a refill at any of the four establishments.

The four members of the co-op try to not have the same beers pouring at the same time so you can get the best variety. All together there are 38 drafts in the co-op. Some beers will not be offered for carry-out because they are limited releases. As an example, Thai 9 has one of four 1/6 barrels of New Holland Brewingʼs Envious in the state, this will be sold at the restaurant only. Each member of the co-op has the choice of what is available for carry-out.

National Rebuilding Day is Sat, April 24th

March 20, 2010 By Lisa Grigsby Leave a Comment

banner_rtd_logoThe annual signature event of Rebuilding Together,  brings volunteers and communities together to rehabilitate the homes of low-income homeowners. Through in-kind labor and donated materials, Rebuilding Together Dayton is able to expand every dollar raised into $4.

Rebuilding Together Dayton provides home rehabilitation for low-income Dayton homeowners, particularly the elderly and disabled, so they may live in warmth, safety and independence.  Since it’s creation in 1996, they have repaired over 900 homes in neighborhoods across the city .

Rebuilding Day applicants must own their own homes in the City of Dayton and have a combined household income of less than 80% of the area median income. Preference is given to homeowners who are elderly and/or disabled and have lived in their homes for a minimum of 10 years. The 2008 recipients’ average income was 34% of median (around $14,000 annually) and average time in their home was 30 years.  Nominations are often made by neighborhood groups, churches, neighborhood development corporations, city housing inspectors, priority boards as well as individuals.

TOP 10 reasons to volunteer for  REBUILDING TOGETHER DAYTON

10. Take Action and Make an Impact – It beats being a couch potato. Get out of the house and be a part of what is happening in your city. Get in tune with your own skills and talents without someone telling you what they are. You have a voice and it needs to be heard. No one listens to the guy on the sidelines.
9. Food – Who says there’s no free lunch? Not us! We serve free lunches to everyone who volunteers. And if you’re lucky, your volunteer coordinator just might bring donuts for breakfast.
8. Leadership – Gain leadership skills and be the boss of your own community service project. Build a sense of responsibility.
7. Experience – Community service looks great on applications and resumes. Get “real world” experience right in your own backyard.
6. Guilt – Hey, is there anything wrong with a little soul cleansing? Besides, if you don’t do it, who will?
5. IT’S FUN!! Need we say more? Didn’t think so!
4. Friends – Meet new and interesting people. Who knows who you might meet?
3. Adventure – Go to new places. Learn a new skill. Get a little dirty!
2. New Wardrobe – Well, okay, it’s just a free T-shirt – but it’s COOL!
1. And the No. 1 Reason — IT’S FREE!! – Volunteer on Rebuilding Day and you can have a great time at no cost to you!

Feed Dayton: Urban Farming

March 14, 2010 By Lisa Grigsby Leave a Comment

farmers marketImagine, if you will, an urban farming program that grows food exclusively for those who need it most.

Now picture this program growing large quantities of only a small variety of crops chosen specifically for their high nutrition value and quantity of harvest, rather than simply based on popularity or marketability.

What if this program engaged the residents from the nearby low income communities to come in and do the harvesting in exchange for keeping a portion of what they picked . . . 80% given to the agencies that feed people . . . 20% kept by those doing the picking.
What if this program dramatically lowered expenses by collecting valuable compostable materials from throughout the community such as leaves, grass clippings,  and wood chips, as well as horse manure,  fish from the nearby rivers, and other  organic fertilizers.

Want to know more? Feed Dayton is a local Urban Farming Program that is growing fresh produce for members of our community who are struggling during today’s difficult times.There will be a volunteer meeting on Thurs, March 18th at 6:30pm at the Life Enrichment Center on 425 North Findlay Street in Dayton.

Purpose of this meeting:

To inform and/or update everybody on what is happening with Feed Dayton at the start of the 2010 planting season. This is a great opportunity for all of us to meet each other, face to face. We will also be providing information on what we are looking for from our volunteers and the community, as well as what you can expect from Feed Dayton.
