Community Immersion - Walnut Hills
Walnut Hills is rich
with arts and culture, history and
philanthropy. With names like Harriett
Beecher Stowe, a former resident and
Andrew Carnegie, who funded the library,
there are deep roots in the historical
foundation. And community organizations
like the soup kitchen at the Geiger
House, the recycling and sustainability
efforts at the Work Resource Center and
the youth engagement program between the
YMCA and Camp Ernst, are dedicated to
maintaining the community’s heart and
soul. And through businesses like
Amphora Studios, a pottery co-op and The
Monastery, a church converted into a
recording studio by an original member
of the band Over The Rhine, Walnut Hills
is alive and well in their arts and
culture.
Join us on
Saturday, April 10th from
9:30 to 3:30,
as we explore these unique stories of
Walnut Hills and learn more on the
revitalization efforts that we touched
upon during the Sounding Sessions in
February. In addition, we will also
take one hour of the day to get our
hands dirty with a clean-up project in
the community. Lunch will be provided
and we will end the day with a community
block party! We hope you can join us!

Blazing Trails
Are you ready for
EXTREME

If you like hiking and working in your
yard, why not take both to the extreme
with Give Back Cincinnati? Join Give
Back Cincinnati on Saturday, April
24th as we help CORA complete the
trail in Northern Kentucky at Devou

build trails; it will increase
attendance at the park, and bring more
people into the surrounding communities.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided to
keep you fueled during the day, and a
relaxing after party will be immediately
follow the event. We hope to see you out
on the trails as we switch gears from
