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),

provide aid with their urban gardening
projects as well as some general
beautification for the area around the
market
- 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

their continued dedication to Give Back
Cincinnati and Over-the-Rhine.

difference...we are working with
wonderful groups that have great
causes. each one is a
little different than the
others, but all great programs

events, we want you to work hard
and then get a chance to mingle
with fellow volunteers - we will

Market... obviously with

Sounding Session #2 - Reduce,
Reuse... Revealed!!
Cincinnati continues to push ahead in
it's recycling efforts, in ways you may
not yet be aware! Join us to learn about
Cincinnati's continued dedication to
enhance the city's sustainability, the
current types of unique recycling
available within city limits and how you
can get involved!
For one evening on Tuesday September 21,
from 6:30 to 8:30 PM, we will explore the various
and plentiful ways that groups in our city are
recycling. As always, no fee- you will just
need to register ASAP once the link opens up
(hint...next week). We will have refreshments
and light snacks for you, but more importantly a
power packed line up of speakers and groups for the
evening. Will be a great night, hope you will
join us.
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
Saturday September 18th to spend a
day in nature as we work the farm, build
some trails and maybe even spend some time
in a sunflower garden.
On the Horizon....
Paint the
Street
with the Fine Arts
Fund-
Sunday September
26th:
The New York Times recently told the world about
Cincinnati’s
artsy swagger.
Case-in-point: Last fall, people from across the
region came together on Fountain Square to
celebrate our city through the power of
collective creativity. Cincinnati’s first-ever
Splash Dance
became an Internet hit, getting over 50,000
views!.... next up.... the Fine Arts Fund is
putting together an event to paint a mural on
12th street between Main and Central Parkway...
yes.. ON THE STREET, not on a wall near, not on
the sidewalk... on the street!!! Details
will be coming soon but for now, put Sunday
September 26th on your calendar and check out
the event website below.
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.
