The R.O.C.c.K. Children's Choir gave another great performance to large crowds at the Boardman Ohio American Cancer Society Relay for Life and at the Leetonia Ohio Street Fair the weekend of May 17-18. The hot, humid weather did not slow down the Choir's participation in the Cleveland Zoo Walk with LIFE MAXX™ May 31st and at the June 7th Relay for Life at Austintown. Certainly they are now in great shape for the trip to the Victory Junction Gang Camp in North Carolina later in June! Check the A Way With Words Foundation, Inc. Calendar for their next appearance in August. Don't miss another chance to hear these voices for healing. |

March 26, 2008 Report Pow! Bam! Pass the syrup! The rumors were true!!! Life Maxx™ did indeed make his first public appearance at the Pancake and Sausage Breakfast for the A Way With Words Foundation and the R.O.c.C.K. Children's Choir on Saturday, March 15, 2008. Created by award-winning comic creators Chris Yambar (of Bart Simpson and Mr. Beat Comics fame) and George Broderick Jr. (I Dream of Jeannie and Mister Magoo, among others), Life Maxx™ is the WORLD'S FIRST CANCER SURVIVING SUPER HERO. The first issue of the Life Maxx™ comic book was released November 18, 2007. Now there are plans to give the character his own live-action DVD movie release, which will be distributed to children's cancer wards across America. The Pancake and Sausage Breakfast was a great opportunity to meet the character and his creators face to face. Several people had their picture taken with Life Maxx™. Life Maxx™ and Chis Yambar autographed the first edition of the Life Maxx™ comic book copies for those who attended the breakfast. Everyone had a well-cooked, delicious breakfast and a super fun time too! Look for the "Helping Hands" T-Shirts to go on sale at Aardvark's Sportswear & Trophy Shop in Austintown, Ohio. The T-shirts were made by members of the R.O.C.c.K. Children's Choir between performances during the Pancake and Sausage Breakfast March fundraiser. |

"We never do anything small in scope," states Yambar from his office in the Ohio One Building located in downtown Youngstown, Ohio, "When the sky is the limit you go for everything in sight . . . even if it means flying into an outer space adventure with your own super hero. Life Maxx™ is all about living each day to the maximum. It's a code worth thinking about and going for." A HEARTFELT THANK YOU to the following contributors of food who are making the Pancake and Sausage Breakfast possible: The Breakfast raised funds for the A Way With Words Foundation, the R.O.C.c.K. Children's Choir, cancer survivor needs, and cancer research. The Foundation is hoping to cover the costs for the Choir trip to the Victory Junction Gang Camp in North Carolina this June, when the Choir will perform for cancer children there. At the camp, the Choir will present "Helping Hands" T-Shirts made by Choir members for the benefit of children with cancer. |

The latest CD was again written by Alan Matavich but on a new topic, "No Good Day To Say Goodbye." Sung by Janeen Williams, the song deals with leaving and loss. Combined again with Brenda Rider's musical composing, the CD is being donated to raise money for the A Way With Words Foundation, Inc. The same trio that created the "Dillon" songs released in May a new music CD entitled "Marc Dann's Party Pad" to emphasize no one is above the law. The "Dumb as Dillon" music CD is still selling strong, helped by the surprising amount of publicity over the song and its sequel "Honey, Don't Touch It," which was released the beginning of February. The songs can be heard on several Youngstown area radio stations (Y103, Y105, WKBN 570) and on some other metropolitan US radio stations, due in part to the press attention from local and national newspapers. Both songs were written and composed by Alan Matavich, Mike Talanca, and Brenda M. Rider. Mike Talanca sings both songs, with Janeen Williams assisting him on the "Honey, Don't Touch It" CD. Published by the A Way With Words Foundation, Inc. (AWWWF), the CDs can be purchased directly at Glorious Homes, Inc. on 14 N. Anderson Road, Austintown, Ohio Monday through Friday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm EST. Phone sales are also accepted during these hours by calling (330) 360-3300. Due to the extraordinary generosity of all involved in the production of these latest CDs, the full price of $5.00 each is tax-deductible. All sales from the "Dumb as Dillon" and the "Honey, Don't Touch It" CDs continue to benefit the R.O.C.c.K. Children's Choir. The Choir is now raising money towards their trip in June 2008 to the Victory Junction Gang Camp, where they will perform for the campers during the week that cancer is the focus of the program. The increased popularity of the songs has made this trip more a reality each day. Founded by Kyle and Pattie Petty, the Victory Junction Gang Camp provides children with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses a life-changing experience in a fun, safe environment. R.O.C.c.K. Choir members are looking forward to do what they do best: kids helping kids. |
