DBI Supports Girls Inc.

Davis Broadcasting Inc. supports Girls Inc.   June 27, 2014. All friends and families of the station came out to help support their open house from 11 to 5pm to save the Garrard Center. The center has to raise $100,000 by the end of July in order to stay open. Over forty years the Garrard Center on Clover Lane has provided a safe haven and life skills for thousands of young ladies. Because of the deficiency and poor shape of the building, the center may have to close.

The parents of Girls Inc. became upset and disappointed so they started protesting the closing. $125,000 to $150,000 each year will help them to maintain the building.  Even so, if the money is not there, than neither is the building. It is good, however, that parents are willing to try to save the property and it is good that Davis Broadcasting went out to support the event.  

There is unbelief in the air about the shutting down of the building. Reason is, is that it serves purpose giving girls chances to walk away from the streets and into a positive community. Shutting down something so meaningful to everyone makes no sense. The staff and the children have become a family. There should be another way to deal with an issue like this instead of having afterschool childcare taken away from these children.

There are, however, many other leaders fighting to save Girls Inc. Saturday morning, Mayor Teresa Tomlinson, Sheriff John Darr, Marshal Greg Countryman, Councilor Bruce Huff, Representative Calvin Smyre, Representative Carolyn Hugley, State Senator Ed Harbison and Municipal Court Clerk Vivian Creighton Bishop, marched for this cause. This says a lot when the city and state officials come to support the cause. If able and willing, please help them because they need you. Help to save the Garrard Center.

DBI Appreciates Sol of Wa & Artist Street Lotto Is Touched at Birthday Bash

Davis Broadcasting appreciates Sol of Wa for bringing in the food

Restaurant Sol of Wa serves no pork to Davis Broadcasting cast on June 12, 2014 and has a “no pork” way of thinking. The cast was very excited to start munching down on the luncheon prepared by the owner of Sol of Wa at the meeting. In due to the preparation, Sol of Wa asks the station if Davis Broadcasting will say a couple of good words to inform the city of Columbus of its new company. Now appreciated by Davis Broadcasting, the company has agreed to air paid broadcasting of Sol of Wa. The dinner served was tuna, chicken salad, and salami and turkey sandwiches with cheese, chips, cookies, tea, lemonade, and water. The table was sat up very nice for the cast and gave the meeting a nice setting. Deacon Michael Sapp also said blessings and everyone “dug in” to grub.    

Touching Birthday for New Artist Street Lotto

Birthday Party for Keith Smith a.k.a Street Lotto becomes very touching when the cake comes in to play and family and friends sing “Happy Birthday” to the soon to be hip hop star. A few lovely words were said about Street from his wife, Denise Smith and Street also had a lot of nice things to say about his family and friends. The get together turnout was extreme and everyone seems to be having a great time. Children were playing basketball, women were having women talk and the men were out on the patio enjoying the music vibe and freestyle. The evening was moving along and so were the drinks. In every word that counts, this was an event of love and celebration of a new year of life for Street Lotto.  Be on the lookout for Street Lotto’s album it was released Friday June 13, 2014 at Taboo2. The album is called Levi’s & Chucks hit single “Go”.
