Registration is expected to fill up. Spaces
are limited so buy your ticket ASAP!! $5.00 reserves
your spot.
You do not need your team lined up
yet or a team at all as we can pair up teams day of.
Most folks will come solo and find team members
and be paired up on site. In years past this has
always been the case, hence do not miss this event
simply because you do not have a team set up.
Register now for the Challenge!!!
Many thanks to Last
Call Trivia in advance for all of their
help!!
Paint the Town Touch up Days
Many houses were
painted on the 10th of July, but we have a
few high spots to get back to over the
coming weekends. The last thing we
would ever let occur would be to have homes
only partially finished.
This Saturday and next,
we will be heading out to some of the homes
that need some additional work to finish up
some of the trickier spots. If you
enjoy working on ladders and are available
we would love to see you out there.
Register for the events and you will be sent
info regarding the details for the days.
Thank you!

Members' Choice - Time to VOTE!!
We collected many great
ideas over the past few months and narrowed
the choices down to three events. The
process was not a simple one as each needs
to accommodate 100+ volunteers, be hands-on,
and feasible to be accomplished in our
standard time frame (morning/early
afternoon).
None the less... we
have three great ideas!! Check out the
link below to review the ideas and vote for
your favorite. The event will occur on
September 18th, so mark your calendars now
and vote today with the enthusiasm you had
voting for Votto.

21st:
Give
Back Cincinnati has always found itself
working in Over-the-Rhine at least once a
year, now we have an entire event dedicated
to the area this year!! Many different
projects are being planned throughout the
entire community. This will be a great
event with something for everyone.
We have a wonderful
title sponsor for this event and many local
organizations have been helping us plan the
various activities. Keep Cincinnati
Beautiful has a project for up that will
change the curb appeal of boarded up
buildings... Findlay Market has some urban
gardening projects for us... The OTR
Foundation even has some work lined up for
us to help them with the historical
buildings in the area and this is all just
to name a few projects!!
We will open up
registration in the coming weeks, but for
now, get this on your calendar and get
excited to spend a day in the great
community of Over-the-Rhine.
