Bainbridge Area Food For Friends
Pantry Gearing Up for
Fall Holiday Season
Bainbridge Area Food For Friends continues its tradition of serving those in need, and is anticipating an increase in families needing assistance during the fall holiday season.
We remind local organizations, school groups and churches that the local pantry receives no government funding, and relies soley on the generosity of local people and organizations.
Currently, the most needed items at the pantry include: toiletries, tothpaste, canned pumpkin, peaches, pears, Manwich and jelly.
Monetary donations may be made to the Bainbridge Area Food For Friends account at PNC (formerly National City Bank) on E. Washington Street in Bainbridge.
Non-perishable items may be dropped off at the pantry (lower level of Bainbridge Town Hall) or in the lobby bin at bainbridge Library.
If you or someone you know needs the confidential assistance please call 543-6181, 543-7901 or 708-9829 (leave a message).
The primary fundraising event for the pantry, A Taste in Bainbridge will be Oct. 23 at 6 p.m. at Bainbridge Town Hall. Tickets are $25 and available by calling Sam Desiderio at 543-5814.
Bainbridge Area Food For Friends was founded in 1990 by Anne and John Bauswein. Now co-sponsored by Bainbridge Civic Club and Spirit of Bainbridge, it is a local entity supported totally by local donations and fundraising events. | |

Be sure to read Mary Ryan’s Scrapbag, "Letter to Editor", Everyday Spirituality by Susi Kawolics and daughter Kiran’s comments on beginning her senior year of high school, Jo Lindberg’s Senior Spirit---well, you get the idea. There is so much good reading in this Spirit!!!

Watercolorist Dean Sladek Visits "The GANG" Sept. 21
The Geauga Arts Network Group (GANG) is honored to be hosting one of the "deans" of Greater Cleveland's commercial art world, Dean Sladek, for its September program. On Tuesday, Sept. 21, the GANG will welcome Dean Sladek, whose career in photo retouching and airbrush illustration is legendary. Since retiring in 1989, Sladek has been working as a fine artist to create realistic paintings; his medium of choice is translucent watercolor. He explains, "With translucent watercolor, you can do a good deal of layering. The medium is more forgiving than a lot of people realize."
As a realist, Sladek has a profound respect for the craft of drawing as the foundation on which all great painting is built. He counts among his artistic influences another Ohio watercolorist, Florian Lawton.
Sladek is a resident of South Russell. His talk will focus on his transition from commercial work to fine art, and he will be sharing examples of work spanning the breadth of his career. The Sept. 21 program will be held from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at the Heinen's Café, 402 Center St., in Chardon.
The Geauga Arts Network Group is an ad hoc group whose mission is to promote communication, collaboration, and cooperation across artistic disciplines for artists living and/or working in Geauga County. Refreshments are available for purchase at the Café throughout the evening. For further information, contact Joanne Durante, 440‑729‑6481.
