Where: The 600 block of Garford Ave in Elyria, OH, 44035

As Menorah candles flicker in frosted windowpanes and merrymakers dress
their Christmas trees, it's easy to forget that not all are so fortunate to
have a home for the holidays. Severely injured post-9/11 veterans need
homes with special accommodations, and some have lost their homes in
disasters. One veteran in particular, from the Ohio Air National Guard
(OANG), lost his home in a fire around Thanksgiving of this year. This
prompted fellow-Guardsman Andrew Lipian to find a way to deliver
much-needed aid. Lipian - an accomplished singer noted locally for
live-streamed "Porch Morale" Concerts, directing musical theater
productions, etc - contacted colleagues of his in Cleveland who expressed a
desire to assist. The result: "Home for the Holidays: A Concert for our
Vets." Lipian is turning his Garage into a live stage, with Christmas
decor, first-rate sound provided by technician Yevgen Gulenko, and lighting
effects. The concert will feature Holiday classics such as Believe (from
the Polar Express), Blue Christmas, White Christmas, We Need a Little
Christmas, O Holy Night, and others. Listeners can join via YouTube
Live-Stream, listen in-person by parallel parking, or listen from the
sidewalk using decorative chalk-markings for social-distancing. At-will
donations can be made on-site beside a warm fire, with special treats
provided by Expresso Bakery -- a sponsor of the event. Other sponsors
include Fischer and Associates Architects Inc. Parties interested in
assisting in any way can contact Andrew Lipian at
