Before we can Paint the Town, we need to prep it. Join Give Back Cincinnati on Saturday, May 19 as we prepare selected homes for their brand-new paint jobs. Volunteers will scrape, sand, make minor repairs and get each home ready for Paint the Town. Registration is now open for this fun event, so click here to volunteer!
Breakfast, lunch and t-shirts will be provided... and we'll end with an after party at Game Time on Harrison Ave. So come prepared with closed-toe shoes, some sunblock and a portable radio and get ready to prep Cheviot for Paint the Town on June 9!
A Look Back at the Cheviot Community Immersion
The Civic Engagement led volunteers into the streets of Cheviot -- home of this year's Paint the Town event -- for a day spent immersing ourselves in the culture, history and unique characteristics of this historic Cincinnati neighborhood.
The walking tour included a Cheviot Memorial Fieldhouse, St Martin of Tours Church, the Drama Workshop, Pioneer Cemetary, Cheviot Entertainment District (home to more than 13 bars, the highest per capita in the country!) and Harvest Home Park.
Lunch was served courtesy of NYPD Pizza, and a round of sand volleyball was enjoyed at Game Time Bar & Grill after the event! Check out the photos here!
Special thanks to our partners in this event, Cheviot Westwood Community Association, Cheviot Civic Association, and the City of Cheviot including the Mayor Sam Keller and City Council President Debbie Slaughter!.
Leader Profile: Gaelle LeCourt
From time to time we like to feature the leaders who work so hard behind-the-scenes to keep Give Back Cincinnati up and running. Today we're featuring Gaelle LeCourt, the coordinator of GBC's social and fundraising events.
What GBC means to me:
Give Back Cincinnati is, for me, the perfect representation of what I am looking for in a non-profit organization. Offering volunteering opportunities with no strings attached, a diversity of events and programs for any young volunteers, a focus on our community and a hand ready to reach out and help beyond Cincinnati and the USA, the opportunity to build amazing new friendships while having fun and to make Cincinnati known as the most philanthropic city of the US. GBC is just all about amazing people with a huge heart who love their amazing city!
What I do for GBC:
In 2012, I will be the coordinator for the Social/Fundraising committee. Our mission will be to organize social events to thank you all for offering so generously your time and energy at GBC events throughout the year. We will do everything possible to make you happy and having a blast at our events. Come, make new friends, learn about other events and programs, and share your volunteering stories! We will also have couple of fundraising events to help raise funds to support the philanthropic and volunteer efforts. Click here to learn more about Gaelle!
