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!

Here is some interesting information I found from the Ohio
Third Frontier website:
"The Ohio Third Frontier
represents an unprecedented and bipartisan commitment to
expand Ohio's technological strengths and promote
commercialization that leads to economic prosperity
throughout Ohio. Designed to build world-class research
programs, nurture early-stage companies, and foster
technology development that makes existing industries more
productive, Ohio Third Frontier creates opportunity through
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."
- National
Governor's Association and Pew Center for the States
Ohio Third Frontier
targets its investments to support technology areas that
represent Ohio's key competitive opportunities:
-
Advanced and
Alternative Energy
-
Biomedical
-
Advanced Materials
-
