It’s a journalism faux pas to begin a story or column with a question, but I must ask: How many times have you seen in this publica-tion a story about someone chasing his or her dream?

Lots. Today is another fine example.

That’s SoIn.Clarksville native Jimmy

Mai obtained a career as an aircraft mechanic shortly

after graduating high school. Nothing to sneeze at.But time spent volunteering with Big Brothers

and Big Sisters tugged at his soul. A two-year stint with AmeriCorps exposed Mai to the nonprofit sector — and the challenges organizations have in raising funds.

The light bulb went off.

After returning to Louisville, Mai hatched his idea: Food for Thought, which allows small busi-ness owners to mix their concept with a charitable cause, and to be able to funnel some of their profit into their nonprofit work, as Daniel Suddeath writes in today’s cover story.

A big player in Mai’s success is the Horseshoe Foundation of Floyd County, which awarded him $25,000 through the Kiva Zip program, which allows small businesses to match loans with no interest in Floyd County, Suddeath explains.

Food for Thought includes a cooking class at New Albany High School. Much more is learned than just how to make meals. It’s planting the seed to help students realize their own potential, Mai says.

How’s that for chasing dreams?— Jason Thomas is the editor of SoIn. He can be

EW ALBANY — Like many who make their professions in the nonprofit world, Jimmy Mai believed fervently in

his cause. Raised in Clarksville, Mai became an aircraft mechanic after

graduating high school. But his experiences while volunteering with the Big Brothers and Big Sisters program changed his life.

He eventually left his job and joined AmeriCorps, where he served a two-year stint.

“I traveled the country and was really exposed to those nonprofit organizations that are working out there, and the community development programs,” Mai said.

It was during his travels that Mai realized the constant struggle nonprofit groups face to garner funding. Relying on grants and donations, Mai said nonprofits face extreme financial challenges and have to rely on unpredictable funding sources.

“It puts a strain on the employees and the overall mis-sion,” he said.

After returning to the Louisville area, Mai began meeting with friends, local educators and people in the nonprofit com-munity to discuss a more sustainable funding mechanism.

From those discussions, Food for Thought was hatched. The program allows small business owners to mix their concept with a charitable cause,

and to be able to funnel some of their profit into their nonprofit work. Mai, who is a first generation Vietnamese

American, contributed to Food for Thought by launching a cooking class at New Albany High

School in August. The class meets twice a week, and Mai said it’s a mix between teaching kids to cook

while also providing a place to discuss socioeconomic issues. The classes were intended for freshmen, but the program

has expanded to include other grade levels. Food for Thought allows Mai to blend the cooking skills he’s mastered along with his passion for working with youth.

“I know my strength is working with kids and helping kids realize their own potential,” Mai said.

Through the Kiva Zip lending program, the Horseshoe Foundation of Floyd County awarded Mai $25,000 last

year. The program allows small businesses to match zero-interest loans in Floyd County.

The Horseshoe Foundation partnered with other organizations to form Kiva City Louisville, which

allows lenders to make no interest loans to small busi-nesses in the area. According to the Horseshoe Foundation, a borrower is

judged by their “social capital,” and not their credit history. “Kiva Zip is especially advantageous for entrepreneurs from

poor, minority and immigrant populations who lack these traditional measures or have few, if any, options to access af-fordable credit to start or grow a business,” said John Smith, general manager of Horseshoe Southern Indiana and a member of the Horseshoe Foundation board.

“Kiva levels the playing field. Every dollar loaned by individuals will be matched with a dollar from the Horseshoe Foundation, enabling the borrower to more quickly raise the needed funds.”

Mai plans to launch a pop-up restaurant featuring Vietnam-ese dishes. The concept would require Mai to partner with area restaurants and use their space on days the business is closed.

Funds raised through the pop-up restaurant would support the Food for Thought program.

Food for Thought is having an impact on the students at NAHS who have enrolled in the program, Mai believes. Social justice issues are often discussed, and the students are improv-ing their cooking skills each week.

The group recently invited kids in the Boys and Girls Club to class and cooked for them.

“What our mission is really is to be kind of an outreach pro-gram for anybody, any kid out there,” Mai said.

And Food for Thought isn’t just about cooking. “The cool thing about Food for Thought is, it doesn’t have

to revolve around food, you can start a business around what your strength is — anything we can do to kind of tap into what a kid might potentially be into,” Mai said.

The St. Paul’s Arts Coun-cil and the Arts Council of Southern Indiana present the inaugural Southern Indiana Writer’s Symposium, “Writing for Stage and Screen.”

Whether you have an idea for a play, or want to work on an unfinished play, this work-shop is meant to motivate you and help you find your own voice. A focus on the basics: How is a stage play different from a screenplay? How do I get my work produced? How do I get it published?

Exercises will explore technique include writing mono-logues, creating interesting characters, adding action to dia-logue, using subtext, intensifying conflict, and using symbol-ism.

The event features workshops by richard Krevolin, who attended Yale University where he earned his undergradu-ate degree in history. He went on to earn a master’s degree in screenwriting at UCLA’s School of Cinema-Television, and a master’s degree in playwriting and fiction from USC. he has been an adjunct professor at USC Cinema/TV School, UCLA Film School, Emerson College, Ithaca College, Pepperdine and UGA.

Krevolin’s workshop, “Mastering Storytelling,” analyzes what it takes to write a great screenplay or story in order to guarantee that people will want to read more. Learn how to create real page turners with dynamic dialogue, surprising plots and compelling characters. There will be video examples and networking opportunities.

Edith Weiss is a playwright, director, actor and stand-up comic living in Denver. She is the author of almost 30 pub-lished plays for the community theater and educational theater market. Her short adult plays have been seen in productions and competitions in Chicago, New York, Kansas City, Denver and Boston. She is also head writer for the award winning “Vox Phamalia,” a sketch comedy series by Phamaly Theatre Company.

Workshop Topic: “The idea comes from the artist. The writ-ing comes from the craftsman.”

(lead vocals, piano), Louisville; Billy Galloway (lead guitar, vocals), Louisville; Brett Sharp (drums, percussion), La Grange, Ky.; Skyler Jones (lead guitar, vocals), Charlestown; Nick Tehrani (bass, vocals), Louisville

Title of EP: “Soul, Grace, and Vain,” record-ed at New Albany Production House

What was the inspiration behind the album? When we wrote “Soul, Grace, and Vain,” we went into it with the goal of writing every song as different as possible from one other in every way, while keeping it within our style. Not just musically, but lyrically as well. For example, the album’s title track was written about a girl who goes through life mistreated and abused, but keeps going on thanks to inner faith. While the album opener, Contra-band, was inspired by the movie “Scarface” and all the drug busts making headlines every day. We basically just wrote about whatever was around us in and out of our lives.

Please describe the EP’s sound: Modern teenage rock with a more progressive, old school twist.

What was it like to record the EP? What did you learn? recording “Soul, Grace, and Vain” was quite the bonding experience for us. It allowed the band to really connect with each

other musically. With the help from richie ray and the New Albany Production House which made our recording experience extremely en-joyable and fun. We would recommend to any-one looking to record their music to go there. Also, recording was also a learning experience for us, we learned how to compose our music better and what should and shouldn't go into a song. We learned a little on how to be studio musicians to make recording easier on the next go around for us. It was one of the most fun times the band has had so far.

Where can people go to buy the EP? iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Google Play, and the mer-chandise table at the band’s concerts

Three firefighters spenttwo weeks in New York


JEFFERSONVILLE —A group of Jeffersonvillefirefighters have returnedfrom helping out with Hur-ricane Sandy recovery andsaid help there is ongoing.

Jeffersonville Fire De-partment Maj. Michael Mc-Cutcheon, Maj. TravisSharp and Capt. RickVanGilder spent nearly twoweeks in Long Beach,N.Y., organizing relief ef-forts for the city of more

than 30,000 people follow-ing the October hurricane.

The work was more pa-per-filing than pulling peo-ple from homes, but theirservices were greatly need-ed as the entire four-milelong island had been cov-ered by water during thesurging storm.

JFD Chief Eric Hedricksaid the need for relief serv-ices — after initial crewsconduct search and rescueefforts — are often under-estimated.

“After immediate re-sponse to save lives, thereare still efforts needed formonths and months,”Hedrick said.

National Maple Syrup Festival this weekend in Brown County

NASHVILLE— Something sweet is definitely happening in Brown County. From live sugaring demonstrations and historical reen-actments to a culinary competition, pancake breakfast, and much more, there is something for everyone to enjoy at this year’s National Maple Syrup Festival.

Today and Friday, Christine Farrell and Mike Tailer will share their tapping tales, sugaring adventures, and much more while guests dig in to a dinner featuring maple-based dishes, according to a news release.

The festivities continue the next couple of days, kicking into full swing on March 7 and 8. Guests will be able to join in the maple madness on Saturday and Sunday at various locations throughout Brown County, including the State Park, the Village of Nashville, as well as the Story Inn.

Activities taking place at the State Park are headquartered at the Lower Shelter. There festivalgoers can expect to see live reenactments of Native American and French Colonial maple sugaring techniques, as well as modern day sugaring demon-strations. Both days the Dutch oven Diva also will be preparing one-of-a-kind maple creations cooked live over a campfire for guests to sample. Gourmet hot chocolate by Brooke’s Candy Co. and maple marshmallows from 240Sweet will be up for grabs as well. State Park activities will take place on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
