Hello Readers,    

 

Well just when you think all of our community is safe the Federal Government goes and dumps a bomb on us!

I would not have thought the College Hill Post Office would be on the short list.  However I'm incorrect, wrong, didn't have a clue and refuse to get one.

How dare them!  We are not some little Podunk ~ middle-of-the-road ~ one horse town.

And, how was your week?

 

I'm Wishing Blessings to You All!

Reader's Questions & Answers


Well, here's a question for the community.  What do you think about the possibility of our beloved College Hill Post Office being on the chopping block?

Here are two links to read information on this possibility:

Cincinnati Business Courier and WLWT.com.

Let me know something!!!!!!

The Cicada Killer Wasps

We're not afraid! For years, like clockwork, the cicada killer wasps appear in LaBoiteaux Woods ' field to the delight of those who know their antics, but stirring fear in anyone who doesn't know that these very large wasps are only interested in food, mates and digging holes for their solitary nests.

Learn about their life and habits. We have a great habitat for them, so we hope to observe some of their behavior up-close. Leave your pet cicadas at home! For more
information call 542-2909.
 Good Samaritans

  


These ladies gave out hotdogs and cold water on a balmy Saturday.  

They were from House of Joy Ministries.  What a way to go Ladies!!!!!!

College Hill Farm Market!   UPDATE!




GREAT NEWS! 

Once again the eNewsletter is being innovative.  We are giving you the opportunity to get more information from the Farm Market community.  If you are interested, please follow this link and sign up for their eNewsletter Sign up for the College Hill Farm Market eNews.


Just so that you know the Little Pepper Food Truck plans to be at the Farm Market each week.  As reported they have run out of food but plan to stock even more very week. 


Mark your calendars for Give-Back Day at the Market on August 4th.  You are being asked to support our local resale store--The Lord's Bounty. They not only resell clothing and household items, but use the money to give scholarships to College Hill students. There will be a truck at the market to collect gently used clothing and household items August 4th from 3 PM to 7 PM.

There will also be a second-hand fashion show at 5 PM featuring The Lord's Bountyclothing from Sonshine House and the Lord's Bounty. Have a favorite outfit from a resale shop you would be willing to model in our fashion show? Email MzGAS@fuse.net and describe you outfit. The rehearsal for the fashion show is August 4th at 4 PM in the College Hill Presbyterian Church.









Are you willing to put up a College Hill Farm Market yard sign? We have a few available at the market table. Put it up for a few weeks and then bring it back to the market so someone else can put it up. We hope to get the word out by putting them up all over the neighborhood this summer.

For more information, contact Diana Porter at porterd@cinci.rr.com or visit www.CollegeHillFarmMarket.org.

 

   

COMMUNICATION ZONE

Follow College Hill Community Organizations on Facebook and on the Web.

There are now several Facebook pages that provide another window into what's happening in our neighborhood. Click the names of the organizations to get an idea of what they're about. "Like" a page to get posts from that page in your Facebook news feed.

 

The eNewsletter is published every week or so 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 editors. 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 improved through editing.

 

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.
