Tuesday June 15 will see the monthly Kennedy Heights' Community Council Meeting. Held at 7pm at the Kennedy Heights Presbyterian Church on Kennedy Ave., the meeting gives residents a chance to find out what's going in the neighborhood, and to meet fellow KH residents.

June's meeting will be the last before the Community Council goes on Summer Break. The next scheduled meeting will occur on the third Tuesday in September.

A meeting of the Community Council's executive board takes place at 6pm.

After years of planning by a number of Kennedy Heights residents, our new welcome signs can be spotted at several locations throughout the neighborhood.

The signs feature the logo that was first introduced at the 2008 Progressive Dinner; a refreshed version of Kennedy Heights' classic "Yin Yang" design that has served the community for many years signifying the racial harmony that has long been a hallmark of the neighborhood. The design was created by Kennedy Heights resident Erik Brown.

A committee including past community council president Ernie Barbeau, current vice-president Clete Benken and webmaster Rick Boyer have been working with various Staff members of the City of Cincinnati to shepherd the installation of the signs.

The signs can be found at the following locations: NE corner of the intersection of Kennedy Ave. and Congreve Ave., on Red Bank Rd. Just north of Drake Park, on Woodford Rd. very near Benken's Garden Center, at the NE corner of Kennedy Ave. and Aikenside Ave., on the SW corner of Plainfield Rd. and Zinsle Ave., and two signs on Montgomery, the SE corner of Montgomery Rd. and Orchard Ln. and a sign across from the Kroger/Furniture Fair site.

Many thanks go to all of those who saw these projects through to completion. With the new Kennedy Heights Cultural Center and other great things happening, this new look shows how our neighborhood is "moving up" in the world!

It's time again to celebrate the many beautiful homes in our Neighborhood with the Kennedy Heights Landscape Awards.
