CINCINNATI ARTISTS TO GIVE FREE PERFORMANCES FOR CITIZENS AND DISCUSS
HOW CINCINNATI ARTS AMBASSADOR FELLOWSHIPS FUEL CREATIVE NEW WORKS

Cincinnati – Art lovers and curious Cincinnatians are invited to see
how their $6000 investments in seven city artists paid off. The city
is hosting its final and free evening performance. Don’t miss it!

Doors open at 5:30 pm at Clifton Cultural Arts center at 3711 Clifton
Avenue tonight! Refreshments will be served and the performance starts
at 6pm. Children and families are welcome.

The City of Cincinnati began the Artist Ambassador Fellowship program
last fall, awarding seven artists $6000 grants to create a new work.
The CAAF requires artists to share the results in two public
presentations. Our last performance is taking place tonight!

Wednesday, May 15 at 6 pm at Clifton Cultural Arts Center

(Doors open at 5:30, refreshments provided, families welcome)

The seven CAAF artists will each have ten minutes to perform/present
and then they will answer questions from the audience.

“This will be a one-of-a-kind event to bring art to citizens and
showcase our city’s great artistic talent,” says Council Member Laure
Quinlivan. She won her council colleagues’ support to create the CAAF
in the 2012 budget.

life-sized puppets and performs his own shows.

Greetings to all,

The Great American Clean Up for Paddock Hills is this Saturday, May
11th from 9am to 11:30am. The meeting place is Avon Woods Nature
Center, 4235 Paddock Road.

Lynne Stone will running the clean up this year. It would be great if
anyone that wants to volunteer would let me know by email so I can
give her a head count. If you have already responded, I have you in
the count. There will be lunch provided after the clean up is
completed. The lunch will be at the Avon Woods Nature Center.

The volunteers will be cleaning up trash along Reading Rd, Tennessee
Ave. & Paddock Rd.

If you need to reach Lynne with questions, please call her at 513.520.7332.

The clean up is for public areas only. If you have items that need to
be picked up such as tires, appliances, furniture, etc., please call
513.591.6000 to arrange a pick up time with the City of Cincinnati.
They are still doing the large pick ups but you have to put the
request in.

Hope to have a great turn out.

For all those who might be interested! What a great opportunity to
help add trees to our neighborhood.

Martha Stephens is the one offering the trees!
—————————————————————————–

Neighbors: I belong to the Audubon Society, and they have sent me ten
tree seedlings to share. One of them Andy wants for his back yard,
and one I’ll plant in my yard. But that leaves ten large trees –
River Birch, Red Maple, Sugar Maple, Silver Maple (as in my back
yard), Colorado Spruce, White Pine, Northern Oak, and so on. One Pin
Oak.
We’ve lost a lot of our Paddock Hills Pin Oaks, so perhaps some
neighbors would like a new oak or maple or spruce.
Please let me know this week if you want a seedling. They are
tiny seedlings easy to plant, but with good root balls, need to go in
the ground soon while it’s still good growing weather. If I don’t
hear from neighbors, I’ll take these plants over to the golf course
management; they have lost a lot of trees lately.
Trees are wonderful for beauty and shade — and keeping hillsides
safe from sliding earth. They help keep the air sweet and eat up
pollution. Around homes they seem to offer protection that saves on
heating and cooling bills.

Greetings to all,

Our Great American Clean Up will be on May 11, 2013 starting at 9 am
to 11:30 am. We need all the volunteers that we can get to help pick
up trash on Reading Rd, Paddock Rd & Tennessee Ave.

Lynne Stone is running the clean up this year so please help her with
a great turn out.

Meet at the Nature Center @ 9 am. She will give you a Tshirt, trash
bags, gloves & water! Then off you go!

In the interest of figuring out how much pizza to get for lunch after
the clean up is over, I would appreciate it if all that are going to
join Lynne, would RSVP to me! turnerorr2@aol.com

Thank you!

It is with sadness that I send this. Paddock Hills has lost a long
time neighbor, Eleanor Huffman of Westminster Dr.

It is fascinating to see the ideas that the students have come up with

for our neighborhood. As mentioned below there will be a display of
all their ideas on April 24th from 4 to 7. There are a couple of
garages by DAAP, that is the best place to find a place to park but it
does cost!

Projects for North Avondale and Paddock Hills by fourth year architecture students will be on display in this year’s DAAPworks exhibit on Wednesday, 24 April, 4-7 pm. The location is 6499A, which is an irregularly-shaped space on the 6th floor at the “prow” of the atrium space. On the attached map is is the area surrounded by dashed just below the green bars that indicate the book stacks of the upper level of the library (the library entrance is one floor below).

The North Avondale projects are centered around the Lenox Garage. The
Paddock Hills projects focus on the zone adjoining Reading Road. Due
to DAAPworks organizational conditions, only some of the student
projects will be on display for the entire week, so the Wednesday 24
April event is the only time to see all the projects and hear the
students describe them. The event will be “gallery talk” style, so
visitors may arrive and depart at their convenience. Feel free to
invite others.

Hi there again!

There was a neat article about Clearbrook Farms in the Enquirer
yesterday. It is about a business that was started by two families
that lived on Clearbrook. There are probably many people that have
seen, used & purchased their products without knowing the history
behind it. Click the link below & read about our former neighbors!

Thank to Susan Glas for sending the link to me for the e-list!
