Dear Reader,
Election Day is over. Congratulations to those whose candidates and issues won; condolences to those whose candidates and issues lost. Either way, please remember to throw away your campaign yard signs -- or take them inside to preserve for posterity, if you're so inclined. And if you didn't vote, remember: No complaining about anything for the next four years!
The College Hill news keeps pouring in, and this week -- in addition to eating some stories I will have to rewrite -- my computer stopped letting me resize my photos or store any new. So some great stories and photos have to wait for next week when Ken Lyon is back. His computer savvy is far greater than mine.
As usual, if you've got news -- send it here.

| Next Wednesday, Buy Pizza for Aiken Ladies
A new fundraiser for an Aiken club makes it easy, and tasty, to contribute.
Buy a pizza any Wednesday in November from the College Hill LaRosas and benefit Young Ladies of Aiken, a three-year-old club that helps girls become young ladies. "They share, laugh, and talk," says Aiken Lead Secretary Paula Davis. "The older ones mentor the younger ones. And they participate in community service -- we just did Make a Difference Day, for instance, and we always do the College Hill potluck."
Future plans include a Ladies on Campus Day, hoodie sweatshirts for members, and other activities to help young women make a positive difference on campus and in their lives.
You to turn in a special form with your order. Pick one up at Aiken or at many local businesses, or call Paula at 363-6761 for more information.
Thanks to Paula Davis for this story.

Local Man Helps Hearts
A College Hill resident was featured on a Channel 12 Medical Edge spot about a new screening program for student athletes at Christ Hospital. The test detects a rare genetic heart problem, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, that is not usually detected until a young man or woman passes out, or even dies, during intense activity. Student atheletes are particularly at risk. Resident Ken Bertke works for Midwest Ultrasound, which is performing the test for schools and athletes. The video is gone, but you can read his quotes (and more information about how to get the test) here. |

Blood Drive Nov. 25
It'll soon be Thanksgiving, and one way to say thanks is to help others at the First United Church of Christ Blood Drive. Parish Nurse Cindy Beckman writes: This blood drive is in memory of a beloved member, Ewald Bauknecht, who always wanted to do something to help others. He was a multiple organ recipient and knew the importance of blood donations as a lifesaving measure. We hold our annual fall blood drive in his memory and are looking for donors who would like to donate blood as a community service.
The Hoxworth Mobile Van will be in the church parking lot from 6-8 pm for your convenience. Appointments are required and may be made by calling me at (513) 541-7302, ext.14. Questions can be directed to that number as well.

Check Our Online Calendar for Music and More!
Co-editor Ken Lyon is on a well-deserved vacation, and until he comes back there won't be a mini-calendar at the end of the newsletter. But don't let that deter you -- click here for a list of all the great things coming up in College Hill! |
|
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. Email to eNewsletter@CollegeHillOH.net.
