Paid Gig for Magician at Assisted Living
by Noah Budin 05 Jan '23

05 Jan '23

Stone Gardens Assisted Living at Menorah Park in Beachwood, OH is looking for a magician that has experience with an aging population - people with hearing, sight, and some cognitive deficits. Closeup magic is probably not best for this crowd. Should be fun, funny, upbeat, and loud - not Rock and Roll loud, but vocal-articulation loud so they can hear and understand. Jewish content a plus, but not required. Tuesday, March 7, 2023 (It's the Jewish holiday of Purim) 2:30PM - 3:30PM Our budget is limited (we are a nonprofit) but we have a little room to negotiate. We can start at your usual fee (more than we can probably pay) and our usual rate (less than you probably want) and negotiate from there. Please contact me at nbudin(a)menorahpark.org Noah BudinLife Enrichment CoordinatorStone Gardens Assisted Living NEOPAL Assistant Admin. http://www.noahbudin.com/ http://noahbudinsongs.blogspot.com/

Find out about Cleveland's Culinary History!
by Bette Lou Higgins 04 Jan '23

04 Jan '23

Spotlight on Cleveland's Eateries! Since LOST RESTAURANTS OF DOWNTOWN CLEVELAND came out in September, 2021, I've been lucky enough to visit bookstores like Visible Voice in Cleveland and Mindfair in Oberlin for book signings and presented the companion storytelling program for many groups including libraries and historical societies in Cuyahoga and Lorain Counties. The trips continue and if you can join me in January and February AND have a great meal! On Thursday, January 19, 2023, you can take A TOUR OF CLEVELAND RESTAURANTS IN 30 MINUTES -- MORE OR LESS! This storytelling program based on the book is a trip through time. You'll stop by some of the city's most famous and historic places to "visit" them during their heyday. You'll get a sense of what it was like to sit in the Vogue room at the Hollenden Hotel to hear Dean Martin and the Sammy Watkins Orchestra in 1942. You can visit the Alpine Village in 1955 and maybe catch owner Herman Pirchner deliver 55 beer mugs to his customers at one time. It's a quick and delicious trip back to the past. The tour will take place at 1:00 p.m. at the Beachwood Community Center <https://www.beachwoodohio.com/138/Community-Services>; 25325 Fairmount Blvd., Beachwood, Ohio. Tickets for the show are $5.00. Tickets for a pre-paid, pre-ordered noon lunch are $16.00 non/residents and $13.00 for Beachwood residents. Lunch choices are: Chicken Lo Mein Or Vegetable Subgum served with a vegetable egg roll, beverage and dessert. Pre-registration is required. For complete information and to purchase tickets, contact Susan at 216-292-1911. On Thursday, February 23, 2023 you can join me when I sit down to talk with Mike Miller about the book at The Music Box Supper Club <https://musicboxcle.com/> at 1148 Main Avenue in Cleveland. Come enjoy a dinner (or just come for the book talk!) and find out about some of these lost eateries at one of the CURRENT places to enjoy some culinary delights. Make your reservations now <https://musicboxcle.com/event/lost-restaurants-of-cleveland/>! For more information, call the Music Box at 216-242-1250. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the program starts at 7 p.m. Both events promise to be fun, festive and filled with food! I hope to see you at one or both of these presentations. You can purchase copies of the book at both events, at your local bookstore or online at Arcadia Press <https://www.arcadiapublishing.com/Products/9781467140881>. Since this is my first letter to you in the new year, please let me wish you a Wonderful and Healthy 2023. Know that I and the rest of the Eden Valley staff appreciate your support as audience members, presenters and donors for all of our projects. We look forward to sharing stories with you all year. As we look ahead, we continue to move forward with our documentary about Victoria Woodhull. We are working on plans to begin filming this year and are grateful to everyone who has contributed specifically to this project. As you know, the pandemic caused us to pull back on our plans for the project. We are now working ONLY off of money we can raise from supporters like you and we are happy to report that many of you stepped forward last year to offer help. For complete information about the project, please visit our website <https://www.edenvalleyenterprises.org/woodhull/woodhullinf.htm> . If you would like to book a "restaurant tour" for your group or present any of our programs at your next event, just reply to this e-mail with your request. I'll be in touch to help you plan your get-together. Here's to a joyful 2023! Bette Lou Higgins Artistic Director
