Fun Run

Join the Ohio River Road Runners Club for their annual Track Run taking place at Stivers on Wednesday, June 15, 2011.

Guitar Player Magazine Superstar Finalists
August 24th, 2009

Guitar Player Magazine has announced its top ten finalists in the Guitar Player Superstar Competition for 2009.

Guitarists from all over applied, and the editors of the magazine whittled them down to these ten finalists:

• Steve Langemo
  • A jazz guitarist from Dayton, Ohio
    • http://www.sonicbids.com/stevelangemo

So what does that mean for Steve? Well, read on!

These players will perform in front of a packed audience and a panel of world-famous guitarists including Elliot Easton (The Cars), Jennifer Batten (Michael Jackson/Jeff Beck), Steve Lukather (Toto) and Greg Hampton, (producer of Alice Cooper, Ronnie Wood, Lita Ford). The host of this year’s event is Brendon Small, co-creator of Metalocalypse.

The celebrity judges will evaluate each original performance, and rate each contestant on technique, creativity, charisma and overall vibe. At the end of the night, the 2009 Guitar Player Guitar Superstar will be crowned, along with two runner-ups.

The story was also featured in the Dayton Daily News.

Good luck, Steve!

Anyway, there are three great Dayton events coming up for the weekend of May 1-3. Check it out!

Fasching (Masquerade Ball) 2009

Dayton Liederkranz-Turner will celebrate Fasching with a Masquerade Ball on Saturday, February 21, 2009 from 7:30 - 11:30pm. Alte Kamaraden will provide our music entertainment for the evening. The majority of those attending come in costumes of all kinds with a parade of costumes and prizes.

** Wear a costume and get $1 off at the door! Costume Parade for the Prince & Princess at 8:15 Prizes awarded for Most Original, Best Single, Best Couple, and Best Group. **Food & beverages will be available for purchase. The Prinz and Prinzessin preside over the ceremonies and welcome everyone to fun.

Fasching, Fasnacht, and Karneval all describe a season of celebration in Germany and in Catholic countries. This pre-Lenten period is celebrated with parades, masks, costumes, food, drink and all kinds of tomfoolery. It is a time of the "fool" who, from behind his/her mask, can say and do outrageous things with impunity.

SAH Elections

-
Reprinted from the e-mail tree, for all to see:

Now's your chance to get involved. A buzz word being used by both major parties in the national election this year is "Change". If you don't like the way things are, or aren't, being done consider stepping up and getting involved. You have a voice, ideas, energy and personality. Use them! Positions up for grabs this year are President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer (all one year terms) and 1 board seat (a two year term).

Contact John See or Jim DeWeese if you are interested in being included on the slate, or come to the October 7 general membership meeting to be nominated from the floor. All nominees must be present at the October meeting to accept their nomination. Nominations will close at the end of that meeting. The election will be held at the November 4 general membership meeting, same day as the national election. There will be a pot luck supper before the meeting. More info to come on that later. You must be a member of St. Anne's Hill Historic Society to run for office, and to vote. If you are not sure of your status contact membership chair Bobbie Puterbaugh.

All general membership meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month, at 7:00 p.m., at the Leiderkranz Turner building at High & 5th.

As a reminder, St. Anne's Hill [Historic Society] is a 501c3 non-profit corporation. As such we, as an organization, cannot endorse any candidate or issue. That is not to say we don't personally all have our opinions, just that St. Anne's [Historic Society] will take no official position.

My name is Keith and I approved this message. (just kidding!)
