Become a Member Now! Guilt-Free Volunteering

[FN],
Make history by helping to restore the Emery Theater ...

Save the date and save the Emery Theater on May 31st!

The Emery theater at the corner of Central Parkway and Walnut was built in 1911 and is a half-scale Music Hall. Although it housed the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra many years ago, it has been unused for over a decade. As part of a larger effort to renovate and re-open the
theater, Give Back Cincinnati will be giving the theater a much needed cleaning and painting. Save the date of May 31st for the opportunity to do a fun project in a piece of Cincinnati history. Click here for more information: http://www.givebackcincinnati.org/v3/events_details.asp?EventID=1257 Registration will open next week, so check your calendar and see if you can join us for this exciting project!

Kids Olympics is sold out - thank you to all who plan to volunteer.

That Mrs. Mary Emery, known philanthropist, donated all of the funds for the school and theater complex? Mrs. Emery also developed the suburb of Mariemont.
