Thanks to everyone for sticking with me as I work out the kinks of writing a weekly column.  With everything going on in the world, it has been a little difficult.  I think for the time being, I am going to move to a biweekly format until there is more to write about.  Hopefully, things will pick up soon.  If you have anything going on, please email me at bwwdaytonjenni@ gmail.com or you can contact me via messenger on our Dayton On Stage facebook page.
