Dear Reader,
This issue of the eNewsletter is short and
sweet, with some timely information you won't want to miss.
One of us is out of town and one is busy with kids in
school (guess which is which!) so there will be no eNewsletter
next week. Look for another one shortly after that.

CBT Volunteers Hold Community
Cleanup
The Cincinnati Black
Theater Company sent this photo of three enterprising

worked to make the area look better! Thanks to Phillip Casey for this
story and
photo. |

The eNewsletter is published every week or two by
the volunteers listed below. Our purpose is to help make
College Hill an even better place to live, play and do
business by publishing a broad spectrum of news for and about
College Hill, with an emphasis on stories of College Hill
people working together to improve our community.
The eNewsletter is
independently prepared and published by neighborhood
volunteers. It is not affiliated with the College Hill
Forum Community Council.
Opinions expressed here are not necessarily those of any
College Hill or other organization--or even of the editor. The
inclusion of an article is not necessarily an endorsement. The
fact that something isn't in the eNewsletter is not
necessarily a lack of endorsement--it's most likely because no
one told us about it.
eNewsletter photos are often edited to remove
extraneous material.
Send us news that you think would be interesting to your
College Hill neighbors--and we'll very likely publish it.
