The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force honored Renate Frydman at its annual volunteer banquet April 24 for her 25 years as a volunteer and for bringing Prejudice & Memory: A Holocaust Exhibit to the museum, where it has been on permanent display since 1999.

Clinical and consulting psychologist Adam Feiner copresented a workshop, Psychologists as Leaders: Who’s Steering the Ship?, at the 2025 Ohio Psychological Association Convention in Columbus.

Temple Anshe Emeth in Piqua has announced that congregant Jese Shell will lead its worship services for the coming year, beginning in June.

Longtime Dayton theatre performer Jamie Pavlofsky will take part in four staged readings of Saving Cinderella, a musical sequel to the original tale, at Springboro Performing Arts Center, May 30-June 1. Jamie has been involved with the Saving Cinderella project since its first table read in 2019 and with several since then. She also sang on the show’s demos, which are available via several streaming apps. Saving Cinderella’s music, lyrics, and book are by Christine Duncan, who says the next step in its development will be an industry reading in New York City. The musical was developed in partnership with TheatreLab Dayton and local theatre artists. Christine notes that her volunteer work with Dayton’s anti-poverty movement and her own experiences with poverty and loss inspired her to write the musical. She’s raising funds for area families that live under the poverty line and serve as the show’s “Lived Experience Lead Consultants” to attend the New York reading, “to see how their input has made a difference and continue to have a voice in this.”
