From Toledo School District: Toledo Elementary is still searching for a Music Specialist to serve its new music program. Are you a pianist? Do you teach piano lessons? This part time afternoon position is tailor-made for you. Please contact Angela Bacon if you're interested. We want to get this program started!
Principal Bacon adds: Do you play the piano? Would you be interested in teaching piano from 12:00 to 3:00 - Monday through Friday in an elementary school? Would you like to travel to New York for an amazing training opportunity in Music in the Brain?
If you can answer yes to one or more of theses questions please PM. I would love to talk with you

Tech Report: Cutting The Cord
ToledoTel posted: Interested in cutting the cord with your satellite TV provider? You can now get live locals and more with YouTube TV. "YouTube TV, not to be confused with the free version of YouTube filled with music videos, late-night TV clips and cute puppies, costs $35 per month and appeals to cable TV cord cutters. Its package of 40-plus live TV channels includes locals such as ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC as well as cable stalwarts including AMC, ESPN, the Disney Channel, Fox News and Bravo." Now available on Roku & Apple TV.
It’s been 2 & 1/2 years now since this household cut the cord. As noted in the Tech Tuesday Column of 09.05.2017:
With ToledoTel’s free* ROKU streaming service, this household has saved more than $100/month** on TV access with far better service & reception, thanks to TT’s 1GB fiber optic delivery.
Simply Google “cut the cord” and you will find myriad up-to-the-minute links on how to stream your favorite live sports while saving loads of money along the way with better service.
The Washington Post ran this article, Cord-Cutting: I Pulled The Plug & Kept My Live Sports.
Tom’s Guide is always a great starting place for learning your way around the world of streaming versus cable.
The Cord-Cutting Guide 2018 boasts “the definitive guide with everything you need to know.”
I also have a TCL-brand Roku TV that works wirelessly - indeed, there is no port for ethernet connection. However, as technology improves faster than ever, the less-expensive Roku options can keep you updated cheaper than replacing your TV.
Finally, it’s a frank truth that Toledo enjoys the necessary quality Internet service unavailable to those outside the service area, and makes the cord-cutting service viable. Promoters are working to change that; meanwhile Toledo has it now.
As alway YMMV.***
*Installation required $99 - well worth it, and guaranteed.
**Original Tech Tuesday post 01.17.2017. This household followed the guidelines listed in #2 & #3, saving $300 right off the top: Five Bills To Cut To Save $500 Next Month
***YMMV = Your Mileage May Vary.

Future-Tripping: Feeds, Fundraisers, Fun & More
Feed: Toledo Senior Center Second Saturday Breakfast 7:30-10 AM February 10 featuring full fare morning meals including eggs, sausage & AYCE hotcakes plus OJ & coffee. Great company and perfect place to find out what’s going on around town. Still only $5 and they do the dishes.
Feed: February 25 (Sunday) Toledo serves up their Annual Clam Chowder/Potato Soup Feed. Doors open 1:00 - 4:00 PM or until sold out. $8 includes cornbread or homemade roll plus dessert.
Fun: April 8 Fifth Annual Ladies Tea tix now on sale $20. Hurry, these sell out fast!
Your continued support is critical as Lewis County Seniors move into their first year as a self-supporting non-profit entity. Toledo Senior Center aims to meet their $700/month obligation to keep the lights on for monthly breakfasts, community meals, classes and special events.*

Fundraiser: Toledo Community Library Hosts their thrice-yearly Book & Bake event, known to those in the inner circle as Keep The Lights On.
