Community Calendar

Join us for our Community Food Drive, a chance to give back and make a real impact in our neighborhood! As the federal government shutdown affects SNAP benefits and supply-chain delays make it harder for families to access food, your donations are more important than ever.

This drive isn’t just about collecting cans—it’s about standing together as a community, showing our neighbors that we see them, and helping to fill the gaps when support is needed most.

What to Bring: Non-perishable food items, canned goods, or any donation you can offer. Every little bit helps!

Why Attend: By participating, you’re helping families in need and contributing to a stronger, more caring community. Together, we can ensure nobody in Dayton goes hungry this season.

Get ready for your weekly refill of music during Tuesday Open Mic Night at Peach's Grill with host Kyleen Downes.

All styles and experience levels are welcome to our music community.

Enjoy our Happy Hour specials from 4pm-8pm, then get ready for the hot mic of artists.

Richard Smith is a British fingerstyle guitarist renowned for his dazzling variety of styles and techniques, entertaining performances, and engaging charisma. Born in Beckenham, Kent, England, Smith began his musical journey at age 5 and has since captivated audiences worldwide with his technical brilliance and versatility across genres—from classical and jazz to blues and country. His dynamic stage presence and masterful command of the instrument have established him as one of the premier fingerstyle guitarists of his generation.

Opening the evening is Jim McCutcheon, recipient of the 2017 Ohio Governor's Award for the Arts in Arts Education. A beloved faculty member at the University of Dayton since 1978, McCutcheon brings decades of performance experience and artistry to the stage. Known affectionately as "The Guitar Man" for his extensive work with young musicians, he has toured internationally, produced five solo recordings, and serves as guitar advisor to the National Federation of Music Clubs.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to witness two exceptional guitarists in one unforgettable evening.

7:30 – 10:30 PM – Contra dancing

What is contra dancing?  Taken from: caldancecoop.org/resources/what-is-contra-dancing/ which has more details and videos
Contra dance differs from Square dance in that Contra dance is done in lines rather than in a 4-couple square.   Many of the terms are the same in both Contra and Square dancing, so if you remember any of the terms from old school days or previous occasions, you’re already halfway there.   Now and then, a Contra dance caller may even call a Square dance or two during the evening’s dance.

Footwork in Contra dancing is very simple.   Generally it’s just a walking step to the music.

NO DANCE IN DECEMBER
