Spotlight: An Inside Look at Give Back
Beyond Cincinnati
In just a few short months, Give
Back Beyond will travel to Guatemala
to build homes and hope for those in
need. It's a big commitment... but
it's also a big thrill. You can
learn more by attending an
upcoming info session, or by
reading this interview with Anthony
"AG" Garay -- who has been on five
trips with Give Back Beyond,
including two international trips.
Here, AG offers the inside scoop on
what's it's like to go beyond the
borders of our city to help those in
need. You can
read
the full interview here. What
personal benefits did you gain from
your trips with Give Back Beyond?
These trips
offered me the chance to visit
places around the world that I might
not think to visit on my own as a
vacation destination. Plus you're
traveling with a fun, like-minded
group of peers and helping those in
need along the way. The experiences
on these trips challenged my values,
and offered perspective when I
returned home.
Why would
you suggest that someone attend the trip to Guatemala?
You will
witness some beautiful countryside
and mountains, meet very caring and
open people, and learn how people
(that aren't too terribly far away
geographically) can live a
completely different lifestyle from
what you know here in Cincinnati and
in the United States.
How do you
finance your travels with Give Back
Beyond?
The
entire trip group will participate
in a group fundraiser. You can also
do your own personal fundraising and
ask for donations from family,
friends, and co-workers. Some
people that I've traveled with
fund-raised enough to cover pretty
much their whole trip.
Again, you can learn more
about Give Back Beyond's Guatemala
trip during an
upcoming info session, or by
reading the interview with AG
in
its entirety.
A Word About Paint the Town
Right now, it's probably difficult to
picture yourself outside, painting in the
sun! But believe
it or not, Paint the Town 2011 is right around
the corner! This year, the event will take place
in Bellevue & Dayton, Kentucky on June 11,
2011. Do you know of a homeowner in those
communities who could benefit from having their
home painted? Applications are now being
accepted for consideration. Please direct
interested homeowners to the Paint the Town
website at
www.paintthetowncincnnati.org for more
information.
February Programs:
Young at Heart and
Our First Sounding Session
At Give Back Cincinnati, we're proud to
offer programs that fit a variety of
interests... y'know, a little something
for everyone. If you'd like to give back
to the greatest generation the world has
ever known, then Young at Heart is for
you. Spend an afternoon with local
senior citizens at St. Paul's in
Madisonville, where we'll play casino
games and bring smiles to the faces of
local senior citizens. The goal is
to support local seniors, especially those
with few resources.
If you'd prefer to learn more about what
makes the urban core tick, and let
your voice be heard at the same time, then you'll want to attend our first
Sounding Session: Urban Renewal - Four
Stories. Our panel will bring together
four unique perspectives -- community,
politics, academia and developers -- for
a lively discussion on our constantly
changing Downtown and Over-the-Rhine
neighborhoods.
