Simple Service Saturday helps local residents

Over 70 volunteers came together on Simple Service Saturday, a community service outreach partnership between Winton Woods City Schools and Messiah Lutheran Church, to serve senior citizens living in Greenhills and its surrounding communities. “April 28 started out to be a rainy day, but we were able to finish all our tasks,” said June Tessin of Messiah Lutheran.

 

Students from the Academy of Global Studies @ Winton Woods High School, WWHS Key Club members, and volunteers from Messiah Lutheran helped nine residents with yard work that included cleaning out flower beds, mulching, and planting flowers. “The day was a huge success, and we plan on helping our residents again in the fall,” said Tessin.

 

To be considered for future Simple Service Saturday events, please contact Tessin at Messiah Lutheran  at www.messiahgrh.org.

CINCINNATI (FOX19) - On Saturday, May 5th, Councilmembers Yvette Simpson and Cecil Thomas will go door to door in the Avondale community with local Girl Scout and Boy Scout organizations to recruit Avondale boys and girls to participate in a free, week-long summer day camp. 

“This is the first of several initiatives we are organizing to encourage young people to get involved and engage them in a positive way.”  Simpson stated.  “Our young people are caught in the crossfire, and need positive experiences and connections that foster and encourage change.  It is our hope that these camps will lead to long-term involvement with these organizations or others like them.” 

The Dan Beard Council/Boy Scouts of America and the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio will provide all camp fees, transportation, and meals during the week-long summer day camp programs.

Car show mostly avoids rain, attracts thousands

 

SHARONVILLE, OH (FOX19) - The 35th Sharonville Classic Car Show, the first car show of the year, had a big day on Sunday, April 29, 2012 on the streets of downtown Sharonville. 

Despite heavy rains during other parts of the weekend, the show was largely unscathed.  A few morning clouds and a sprinkle or two of rain didn’t stop over 350 cars and thousands of spectators view shiny, pristine classic cars while enjoying food, drink, and the midway. (If you only see one photo, click on the headline to see more.)

The Sharonville Chamber of Commerce sponsors and hosts the Car Show each year.  Over 50 volunteers helped the Sharonville Chamber starting at 7am in the morning.  Thanks to the input of many car owners, the Sharonville Classic Car Show added Express Entry for pre-registered cars.  This was a huge success as cars were able to zip right in and not wait in line.
