The Christian Moerlein Brewing Co. OTR Makeover
Saturday August 21st
we are heading into Over-the-Rhine for a
spectacular day of service and fun. We
will be working with Keep Cincinnati
Beautiful for the Future Blooms project
(giving life to abandoned buildings with a
little paint and love), Findlay Market
to
provide aid with their urban gardening
projects as well as some general
beautification for the area around the
market, and we will be helping the Brewery
District with various projects!!!
We have a wonderful
title sponsor for this event and this
affords us some great chances to spread out
over the area and then locate our after
party at Findlay Market!! Many thanks
to The Christian Moerlein Brewing Co. for
their continued dedication to Give Back
Cincinnati and Over-the-Rhine.
We will take care of
all the details... parking, food, logistics,
fun, work worth doing, and an overall
experience that will be remembered once we
get into winter and we miss this summer
weather. Sign up now and mark your
calendars for Saturday the 21st!!!
Register here for the event!
Members' Choice - YOU HAVE CHOSEN....
We collected many great
ideas over the past few months and narrowed
the choices down to three events. You
then voted and provided a clear answer as a
super majority of votes collected were for
one event.... Gorman Heritage Farm!!
We have begun our
planning and we are truly excited to be
working with and at the Gorman Farm in
September. Mark your calendars for a
day in nature as we work the farm, build
some trails and maybe even spend some time
in a sunflower garden.
The Give Back Cincinnati Challenge
This past Saturday we faced off in a
fierce competition of Trivia, cornhole,
golf skills, volleyball, and a relay
race that challenged us all to leave our
pride at the door and get a little
silly. It was a wonderful day for
all. We teamed up into groups of 6
and represented various countries (World
Cup style) and faced off. The
t-shirts were great, the competition was
extremely well organized, the events
were fun, and the after party was great
with all the food options and tiny
beers. Many thanks to all who
helped organize on the social committee
and to those who participated.
Congrats to team Honduras and to all
teams who participated. The
results and pictures are now posted so
check them out on our website.
View the final Results here!
Many thanks to Last
Call Trivia for all of their
help!!
On the Horizon....

Cincinnati! Cincinnati is piloting a new
recycling program this fall, we have area
groups that recycle everything from your old
light fixtures to your old electronics.
We will be visiting various recycling
locations and hearing from the experts in
the area of recycling. mark your
calendars now and make sure that you
continue to keep those plastic, paper, and
aluminum products out of the landfills.
Friends of Give Back
Cincinnati
Littering is wrong but you can make it “write”!
Think
people who litter are rude and lazy? You’re not
alone. Keep Cincinnati Beautiful recently launched a
new litter prevention campaign to remind residents
just how unacceptable and inappropriate it is to
litter.
The
campaign, “Littering is Wrong Too” takes a unique
and light hearted approach to get attention and be
remembered. It links littering with wrongdoing,
while also defining the personality of the litterer
as a socially unaccepted jerk and vilifies the
choice they make to litter.
The campaign Website,
www.LitteringIsWrongToo.org
is packed with ways to get involved. You can even
come up with your own campaign ad by “writing your
wrong”. Check out the site, submit and vote for your
favorite “wrong”, pledge your support and share the
campaign with your online networks.
