1, 2009. March 28 Another creative endeavor by a military spouseAfter much consideration, I have finally decided to start an internet radio show called "Discovering Ohio." I used to go around town and film different events when I was in Alamogordo, NM. After coming to Ohio, I did not get an avenue to actively film and produce videos, but I thought having an internet radio show would continue to allow me help the community promote their events. Discovering Ohio is about finding all the fun and interesting events, such as seminars, fundraisers, club meetings, craft shows, parties and professional conferences in Ohio right in my radio shows. I'm going to look for good events in Newark, Heath, Hebron, Granville, Buckeye Lake, Zanesville, Reynoldsberg, Pickerington, Pataskala, Columbus, New Albany, Dublin, Gahanna, Dayton, Cincinnati and surrounding areas! Being an individual who is adamant about green living, I will focus more on individuals, businesses and non-profit organizations that provide green products and services or have a special green message to share. This show is about interviewing people and organizations that make a difference. Our first show is with John Stewart, the national organizer of "Think Outside the Bottle" Campaign. Tune in at 1:00pm Eastern Time on March 31, 2009. See you there! March 21 A free educational workshop organized by a military spouse... Do you find meetings a waste of time?

Some of the topics include: -Meeting protocol -What the different types of motions are & how they can help keep the meeting participants on track -How to apply the Roberts Rules of Order in your meetings The workshop is based on the official Toastmasters “Parliamentary Procedure In Action” program of the Success/Leadership series that teaches people how to effectively lead and participate in parliamentary-style discussions.
