  • Acoustics for Autism with insights from Scott Hayes

    Acoustics for Autism with insights from Scott Hayes
    Feb 13 2026

    Acoustics for Autism is a free, all-day community concert in Uptown Maumee that raises money for Project iAM, a local nonprofit providing scholarships for therapy, equipment, and services for individuals with autism in Northwest Ohio.

    In this episode, I talk with volunteer Scott Hayes about how the event works, what to expect, and why it matters to families — including many from Perrysburg who have supported and/or benefited from the fundraiser over the years.

    We discuss the music lineup, sensory-friendly spaces, parking and shuttle options, silent auctions, fundraising efforts, and volunteer opportunities — including the need for cleanup volunteers at the end of the night.

    If you've heard about Acoustics for Autism but weren't sure what it's like or how to get involved, this episode will help you plan your visit.

    Girl Scouts has been part of many childhoods, including mine! But, what's Girl Scouts like in 2026?

    In this episode of The Perrysburg Podcast, I talk with Erika Jackson (a Recruitment Specialist with Girl Scouts of Western Ohio) about what Girl Scouts is like in 2026 and how families in Perrysburg can get involved.

    We talk about who Girl Scouts is for (kindergarten through 12th grade), how troops are structured, what meetings look like, and how the girl-led model helps girls build confidence, leadership skills, and strong community connections. We also talk about volunteering, becoming a troop leader, camping opportunities, and how Girl Scouts continues to stay visible and active here in Perrysburg.
