September 18th
On Saturday September 18th we will be heading into Reading to Gorman Heritage Farm. The volunteer activities for the day will range from trail building all the way to getting the barn ready for the winter. This amazing place is truly a hidden gem in our city. You turn off of Reading Rd. to find yourself whisked back in time to a place when your ability to understand the balance in nature and farming were vital to each person's existence. Goats, chickens, pigs, a sunflower garden, a full farm, a hiking trail with spectacular views of the valley... it is all truly impressive. Come to volunteer to make a difference and I can guarantee that you will not leave without learning many new things about nature, farming, and our region of the country.

August 21st
On Saturday August 21st about 200 volunteers spread out throughout Over-the-Rhine to perform various beautification projects. A large group worked up at the Glencoe site with Keep Cincinnati Beautiful while another groups worked at various points on Race St. with Keep Cincinnati beautiful. We had groups working within the Brewery District and at the Emery Theater doing some clean up and painting at the respective sites. And, lastly, we had a two groups working with Findlay Market performing beautification projects around the market properties and working in the urban garden on Elm and Liberty.
The sheer volume of work completed is just astounding. We owe a great deal of thanks to each group that we worked with to complete this project. The Christian Moerlein Brewing Co. as the event sponsor was extremely gracious in helping us with this event and then the added bonus of having their delicious beers at the after party. Noodles & Co. generously donated many lunches, Vitamin Water provided relief for many thirsty volunteers during the event, our friends at Frequency 94.1 stopped by with movie passes for our volunteers who worked so hard throughout the day, and Findlay Market provided many delightful snacks and coupons to our volunteers. Many thanks to these specific event sponsors for their donations.
We also must thank our partners who made much of this work possible - Keep Cincinnati Beautiful, Findlay Market, the Brewery District and the Emery Theater. Thank you for your help in organizing and executing this event!!
Lastly... thank you to our former president Jared Simmons and his band, That Certain Something, for playing our after party celebration at Findlay Market.
