In this episode of The Rough Draft Diaries, we meet with yet another local non-profit. Tune in as Haley chats with Lexi Staples from the Collingwood Arts Center.

In this episode of The Rough Draft Diaries, Haley meets with Drew Coomer, a poet, author, musician, and creator of The Lost, Long-gone, Forgotten Records. Never heard of it? Listen now to hear more on the RDD!

Last week we heard from the Courtney brothers who gave us some great options for our next interview on The Rough Draft Diaries, but before we carry on with their connections we're going to take a quick stop at a local TedX event, held at the Way Public Library in Perrysburg, Ohio.

The story of the Courtney brothers was left incomplete. So far, you've only become acquainted with the older brother, Russ. So that can only mean one thing. In this episode, we'll hear from the younger brother, Rob as he talks about his recording studio, Little Elephant and his brotherly dedication to the city of Toledo.

This week, we have a pair of entrepreneurial brothers on The Rough Draft Diaries. Because we have two brothers, talking about two separate businesses, you'll hear two episodes regarding the Courtney brothers. This week will focus on the older brother, Russ and take a look at his food truck, Rusty's Road Trip.

Today The Rough Draft Diaries meets Josh Murnen. He is the Vice President & General Counsel of the Lucas County Land Bank. Never heard of a land bank before? Not sure what it does exactly? Listen to The Rough Draft Diaries and we'll help you out.

"The Theatre, the Theatre, what's happened to the Theatre?" Well according to Elizabeth Cottle, manager of support services at The Valentine Theatre, not much. It looks like Toledo's theatre community remains strong and healthy with each production it brings to the stage. Not bad for a theatre that first opened in 1895

This week on The Rough Draft Diaries we'll meet Shelley Kotz, a person so involved in the community of Toledo it's hard to cover everything she does. She’s the Diversity Chair of the AAUW, previous staff member at Bittersweet Farms, she’s also a local team leader for the organization Dining for Women. Listen now to hear if we can fit everything in on this episode of The Rough Draft Diaries.
