Tonight, it is Christmas in July. Christmas songs are played, a few poems are read, and BC briefly discusses Columbus holiday events...in July! Yes, it's Christmas in July. Bring out the tree, the egg n-- (oh, wait), the carols, the ugly sweater, and those Christmas cartoons, because it's Christmas in July on an all-new DJBC Happy Hour.

POEMS:
Mistletoe- Walter De La Mare
Merry Christmas, Everywhere- Anon
Christmas 1863/I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Chandler Wilson, a student in the Columbus Medical Association Foundation's Youth Advisory Council (YAC), talks about why using social media and other digital tools is important and helpful for philanthropy groups seeking advocates and donors. Then, host Anna Siriano sits down with April Calkovsky, the leader of the NECKO community garden, which was built for a community of people with disabilities, as well as their neighbors. Later, she also talks to Britany Hoeffer, leader of the Summit community garden, and two boys who have been helping at the garden for a couple of years. In the final segment, Youth Beat reporter Bridgette Kreuz talks to Brenda, an OSU student, to find out what kind of difficulties she and her family have faced as Mexican-Americans.

Alright, we were able to slam dunk some big news stories this week. The second half is an interview with Ken Eppstein from Nix.
