The inception: On A Dime Installations Announces New Business This is compacted from several publications over the last month to help convey how and why this venture has been formed.
Suzanne Perry, President of On A Dime Installations, based in Orchard Park, NY, has founded and announced two sibling companies to show promise of unity and hope for the new decade: OP Music House&ICE Cafe.
Perry is currently looking for a home for the new facilities.
Perry was a victim of domestic violence for over twenty years. She has been free from the violence for over two years now with her 3 children; and launched On A Dime Installations, an accredited telecommunications company in April, 2008. In mid-2009, she decided to tell her story. The response was so overwhelming, she needed an outlet and with her musically-inclined daughter, came up with the music venue and coffee house concept.
She has most recently been published inside the cover of WNY Women in Business, December 2009. http://www.metrowny.com/wnywomenonline/articles/bioya/dime.html
Perry says, "If there is one thing I want to represent, it is hope. I want people who feel like nobody understands, to reach out directly to me. I know how they feel and how to help them."
The hype has spread like wildfire through the social networking realm and the general public alike. Perry writes about domestic abuse as a means to educate the public, for several columns and websites. She is a columnist for MyBuffalo.com as a band, venue and restaurant critic as well as local business and local reflections. She also is the Buffalo startup business Examiner for Examiner.com and has drawn nearly 20% of the entire reading audience by discussing realities of business in WNY, life and death, family, priorities, spiritualism, positive thinking, and of course domestic violence and abuse; the how's and the why's.
The press release came out last week OP Music House is having an EXPOSURE Concert in August, because love should not hurt. There are already 19 bands confirmed to unite and perform to expose domestic violence. It's truly amazing and moving. The wonderful people at Club Paradise are working with us to make it a two day festival, and will add 1 or 2 outdoor stages to accomodate all the acts. It's turning into a big deal.
Representing music, peace, and nonviolence in the home, what a trifecta!
An excerpt from Perry's most recent Examiner article: 'I recently wrote a very powerful article, but since it was not related to my topic, I did not publish it here. Because of my following and supporters, I am linking it here. It describes how we were raised and the comparison of why in the old days, we chose to look the other way; and how people have become monsters because of limitations embedded into our minds and imposed upon us at an early age.'

From the horse's mouth:
If you Google 'suzanne perry + violence' your screen will be packed with my work; yes I am passionate about education, prevention and intervention of abuse in the home. I am not here for my own personal gain, but to help those who need it. I live on Facebook and am a self-proclaimed photojournalist there. I post sunrise and sunset photos from my little house in the outskirts of Orchard Park, NY.
Thank you for letting me know that you care and I am helping you, or someone you love, in some form or fashion. I will raise my voice even louder and we will expose these insecure maggots who feed their weak souls by controlling people. My Examiner and MyBuffalo column's views and subscriptions are triple and quadrupled the area's standard. Although I didn't join until October, I have 20% of all last year's readership, so I obviously struck a nerve. That's pretty amazing.
A calendar of events is on the OP Music House & ICE Café website. Perry will be "locked up" for Jerry's Kids at Danny's South on February 23 with a bail set at $1600 to raise money for muscular dystrophy.
March 6 Perry will have a booth in the Community Marketplace & Job Fair in the Orchard Park High School from 10am-5pm. This event is sponsored by the Orchard Park Chamber of Commerce.
A golf tournament is taking place May 23 at the Rosebrook Golf Club for the OP Music House, with a portion of the proceeds to also benefit to Make-A-Wish.
