College Hill Christian Church Celebrates  

its First Building Erected 100 Years Ago  

On July 4th the College Hill Christian Church will celebrate 100 years since its first building was erected by College Hill residents and others.

Honored will be former Sunday School Teacher, Bertha Keller, who was actually at the church raising that day. While just a child, she carried water to the workers throughout that hot July 4th day.

Also honored will be all who have made the College Hill Christian Church ~ the church that it is. These are the folks that have helped build its foundation.

In celebration of this wondrous event there will be a special service Sunday, July 3, 2011. It will be held at the church, 1631 Marlowe Avenue at 10:00 AM during morning worship. All are welcome to attend.

Dr. Glenn Casteel, former Church Historian, will be delivering the message.


Thanks to
Dr. Glenn Casteel

Northside's 4th of July Parade
 

 Northside's Fourth of July Parade is Monday, July 4, 2011 at 12 Noon. It starts at the corner of Rockford and Hamilton Avenue and ends at Hoffner Park on the corner of Blue Rock and Hamilton Avenue. As in the last few years, they are focusing on being "green" by encouraging entries to walk or use bicycles at no charge and donating the proceeds from vehicle entry fees to a carbon-neutral or environmentally-focused cause.

The parade committee is looking for volunteers to help them to spread the word, participate by being in the parade, post No Parking signs the day before, and/or help them to recycle by rolling a recycling toter along the parade route, which is very easy and fun. For more information about the parade and to enter, visit  www.northsidejuly4.com/parade and click Volunteer or Be in the Parade.

Please remember that Hamilton Avenue is usually closed at the intersection of Belmont/Hamilton/Hillcrest.

McAuley Fires the Kilns for Clay Camp

McAuley High School's Clay Camp promised campers: "Make it, Bake it, and Take it Home!" Co-taught by McAuley art and ceramics teacher Jane Kramig and friend JeanHenninger, Clay Camp is a fun-filled five days which feature activities much different from the traditional summer camp.

Campers learn different pottery techniques, ranging from pinch pots to coil pots and slab pieces. A wide range of tools are used as well, exposing campers to the world of possibilities which exist in ceramics. Campers usually complete four to five major projects, doing everything from design and construction to glazing their pieces. McAuley has two kilns in-house which are used during the camp.

Both morning and afternoon sessions are offered; the morning

Jamie Fehring, Alexis Fehring, and Megan Kenner work on their coil vases

group included 13 girls, seven of whom have attended McAuley's Clay Camp in previous years! Luckily, teachers Kramig and Henninger plan the camp so new projects are featured each year. A small "exhibit" of the campers' work is presented on the last day of camp for friends and family to enjoy.
