Air Force Museum To Host Veterans Day Programs
To commemorate Veterans Day the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force will host programs for the whole family to enjoy from Nov. 11 – 15.
On Wednesday, Nov. 11 visitors will have a special opportunity to interact with nearly 50 veterans during the “Plane Talks” program from 10:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Visitors can hear stories from crew chiefs; engineers; navigators; and pilots, along with an Aircraft Maintenance Quality Control Officer; Missile Combat Crew Commander/Instructor; Missile Crew Member; Missile Maintenance Crew Member; Navigator/Electronic Countermeasures Officer and Personal Equipment Specialist to name a few. These veterans will be stationed at aircraft throughout the museum.
In addition, there will be a military-themed display made of LEGO® bricks set-up in the WWII Gallery near the B-17 Memphis BelleTM. This display, which features replicas of war memorials including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and replica aircraft such as an F-15 and the B-17 Memphis Belle, will be on exhibit from Wednesday, Nov. 11 through Saturday, Nov. 14 from 9 am – 5 pm and on Sunday, Nov. 15 from 9 am – 4 pm. Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet members of the Cincy LEGO Users Group (LUG) who built the display from more than one million bricks and parts. The LEGO model of the Memphis Belle alone has over 3,000 pieces and a full 10 man crew, which required four months of planning and locating parts, and another month to assemble.
Visitors can also see the first few sections of a new exhibit titled “Women in the Air Force: From Yesterday into Tomorrow,” which is currently being installed in several galleries throughout the museum and will be completed in early 2021. This exhibit highlights women’s achievements in civilian and military careers with an emphasis on the U.S. Air Force and its predecessors and covers historical issues and changes in laws and attitudes.
These programs are free and open to the public. Additional information on these and other upcoming events is available at: https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Upcoming/Events/.

Miamisburg Company Pivots From Uniforms to PPE
epluno™, a software, e-commerce and fulfillment company headquartered in Miamisburg, OH, has traditionally supported the school/medical/corporate apparel industries with technology and apparel services. Like most companies, was not prepared for what 2020 would bring. At the beginning of 2020, epluno™ partnered with A+ School Apparel to bring their retail partners a comprehensive e-commerce solution with a goal of bringing hundreds of A+ retail partners on board. By all accounts, 2020 was looking to be a great yea
Then the Covid-19 shutdowns happened, and business ground to a halt. The apparel space was no longer where the need was; now their customers needed PPE items urgently, and that’s when epluno™ had a choice to make: wait it out or pivot to meet their customers’ current needs.
However, adapting to meet their customers needs has been something epluno™ has been doing since day one. When their customers needed an ecommerce solution, they answered the call by bringing in a visionary development team and building their own. When they needed better decoration support, they brought on their own decoration equipment and decorated apparel themselves. When they needed better reliability and turn-around time on their orders, they built out a state-of-the-art distribution center and staffed it accordingly. When they needed a more robust software/ecomm/ERP system to support their retail customers, they built their own proprietary platform.
So when the pandemic hit, the choice was clear. “We’ve been supporting our medical customers for years with our current solutions. But now, they needed disposable and reusable gowns, nitrile exam gloves, surgical/non-surgical/reusable masks, and come to find out they needed a trusted supply partner to deliver them.” says epluno™ Founder and CEO, Paul Scapatici. In April, one of the first projects epluno™ took on was repairing N95 masks for an area hospital who had stockpiled masks from the H1N1 pandemic. “They had 30,000 masks that were defective,” says Scapatici.
The straps on the back had disintegrated and were no longer able to be worn , so epluno™ put their facilities to good use and replaced the defective straps with new ones, repurposing their embroidery machines for repairing the masks. A few other groups reached out with defective masks and their repairs made it so that a final total of 50,000 N95 masks were available in the critical first days of the pandemic.
They also worked with the Dayton Chamber of Commerce to create a web-store for PPE, connecting Miami Valley businesses with PPE as soon as they were able. And that was just the beginning. In the following months as schools shut down and the future of the 2020/2021 school year was uncertain, A+ School Apparel, headquartered in Burlingame, California, joined forces with epluno™ to manufacture L1 and L2 grade medical gowns made right here in the US. Utilizing their cut and sew options in the United States, their facilities in Arkansas, California and North Carolina began manufacturing hundreds of thousands of gowns and epluno™ secured one of their medical customers, Bon Secours Mercy Health, to purchase them.
But epluno™ didn’t stop there. In addition to their other initiatives, epluno™ has also become the number one distributor to one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies’ campaign gear in the U.S. epluno™ has put their bleeding edge e-commerce solution as well as their fulfillment and decoration capabilities to providing face masks and other apparel to support the race to a vaccine.
“We’re a creative company, and we always try to come up with ways to help our customers, but we really wanted to think of something in Covid-19 support. With that in mind, any group/hospital/school/organization who needs PPE items, we can help.”
So, no, they may not have been prepared for what 2020 would bring, but they have indeed been able to meet the challenges presented by Covid-19 with creative solutions to help support not only their own employees and other businesses, but those working on the front lines during the Covid-19 pandemic.
epluno™ is located in Miamisburg, OH. For questions or inquiries please contact [email protected] or call 800.249.5275. You can also visit them online at www.epluno.com.
St. Anne The Tart To Add Greenhouse Seating
St. Anne the Tart has just announced that they will be adding a 20ft by 30ft greenhouse in their parking lot this weekend.

The greenhouse kit arrived this week from a small family owned business in Ozark, Missouri and will be assembled throughout the day on Saturday during our normal operating hours.

Hairless Hare Celebrates 7th Anniversary

Digital Book Club Features Fantasy Suspense Novel
Dayton Metro Library is participating in OverDrive’s Big Library Read, the world’s largest digital book club.

Anyone with a Dayton Metro Library card or eCard can borrow the title at DaytonMetroLibrary.org or through OverDrive’s Libby app.
Reverie, Ryan La Sala’s debut novel, is suspenseful fantasy about what happens when the secret worlds people hide within themselves come to light.

When three of his classmates claim to be his friends and the only people who can tell him what’s truly going on, he doesn’t know what to believe or who to trust. This compelling book is appropriate for teen and adult readers alike.
“Will this be the book that gets us to one million digital checkouts this year? It’s possible!” said Holly Varley Richardson, Collection Development Director. “We’re on track to reach that milestone for the first time in a single year. A fantasy novel full of intrigue might be very popular right now,” she added. “What better way to escape reality than getting lost in a good book?”
The Big Library Read is facilitated by OverDrive, the leading digital reading platform for popular ebooks, audiobooks and magazines. It connects millions of readers around the world with one digital book to read and discuss. Reverie is the 23rd selection for the program, which began in 2013 and takes place three times per year. Readers can join an online discussion about the book here: https://discuss.biglibraryread.com/.
Reverie was published as an ebook by Sourcebooks and audiobook by Recorded Books. The title can be read on all major computers and devices through Libby or libbyapp.com. Through Libby, readers can also “send to Kindle” [US libraries only]. The title will automatically expire at the end of the lending period, and there are no late fees.
To borrow the title, visit DaytonMetroLibrary.org or call 937-463-2665.

On Tuesday, November 3, the Greater Dayton RTA will provide free rides system-wide to ensure access for everyone who chooses to exercise their right to vote in the national election. These free rides apply to both RTA’s fixed-route and paratransit services.
The RTA understands the necessity for reliable transportation to fulfill this constitutional right. Along with providing thousands of riders with daily transportation to work, medical appointments, and activities, this Election Day program ensures the polls remain accessible for all. The RTA has been providing free rides for all elections since 2018, and extended this program to include early voting in 2020 in order to alleviate concerns about voting during the international COVID-19 pandemic. Early voting rides were made available in partnership with the Dayton Unit NAACP, League of Women Voters of the Greater Dayton Area, and East End Community Services.
Riders are encouraged to use the Transit app, RTA’s official real-time information and trip-planning mobile application, to find the bus stop closest to their polling place. The app is free to download and available to both Android and Apple users. More information about the app can be found on our website here: iriderta.org/ridetime/track-by-app.
Those needing to find their polling location can use the Montgomery County Board of Election’s website at https://lookup.boe.ohio.gov/vtrapp/montgomery/pollfinder.aspx
