MISSION STATEMENT

Ohio Secretary of State and realNEO member Jennifer Brunner shows love for realNEO, so there is certainly much to support about her (besides thanking her for cleaning up the Secretary of State's office)... and she is running for US Senate, so now is your chance...

In celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month 2010, the Fine Arts Department is pleased to present pianist and singer George Foley on April 17th, 2010 at 2pm in the 3rd floor lobby of the Main Library building (325 Superior Ave., Cleveland, Ohio, 44114). Mr. Foley will perform jazz standards from the 1920s through the 1950s. This program is free and open to all ages. For more information call 216-623-2848. Please join us for this informal, intimate and entertaining concert.

Pianist George Foley's virtuosity, warmth and humor have endeared him to audiences for over thirty years. His wide-ranging repertoire includes jazz, rags and other gems from the ragtime era, standards from the teens, 20's and 30's, swing tunes, blues, short 20th century classical pieces and occasional forays into modern jazz and movie themes. Aficionados often comment on the power and dexterity of his "killer" left hand.

George also sings in a style reminiscent of Fats Waller, Jack Teagarden and Mildred Bailey.

George is in great demand as a soloist, with his own band and as a featured member of other bands. He appears regularly as a soloist at Nighttown, as pianist with the Mercuries and with the Night Owls, and in a duet setting with bassist Gene Epstein.  

George's ability to swing and improvise contribute to the intensity and drive of his performances.

Come to watch films, network, socialize and eat some great Chinese food (not mandatory)!

Dear Norm,

I'm wearing red today, because today is Equal Pay Day. This is the day designated each year to mark how far into the year the average woman must work to earn what the average man made the previous year. Women working full-time and year-round currently earn about 77 cents for every dollar earned by men, so today marks the day using 2009 figures that an average woman would finally earn what an average man made in 2009. In Ohio, this pay deficiency ($33,628 per year compared to $45,214) for women and their families in real terms means they could buy food for another two years or pay mortgage and utility payments for nine more months.

Come join the rest of our hillbilly community at the Curbside Coffeehouse on 99th & Lorain for some Live Bluegrass music on Tuesday nights from about 6:30-9pm.
