As Chair of the Summit County Green Policy Task Force, I'm
always on the look out for new ways for us to be a little
"greener" as a community. Check out this
flyer regarding "Lights Out Ohio" on Earth Day, Thursday
April 22nd. What a great way for all of us to take a moment and
do our part.

I recently visited some folks in Barberton, and I found out
about this great organization called "The Giving Doll." This
group of volunteers hand makes dolls to give to those children
in need, and they can really make a difference in a young
child's life.
Right now, The Giving Doll group is in need of volunteers to
help make the dolls, as well as materials to construct them such
as poly fil, hair colored yarn, woven cotton and cotton blend
fabric. They hold Giving Doll groups across the area that
you can join to help.
Please check out their website at
www.thegivingdoll.com
for more information or to find out how you can help!

Third Frontier website:
"The Ohio Third Frontier

innovation.
"Ohio's $1.6 billion Third Frontier initiative is a
comprehensive, professionally run effort to build
world-class research capacity, promote interaction between
research and industry, and commercialize R&D."

represent Ohio's key competitive opportunities:
