Annual Kennedy Heights Movie Night This Weekend! |
|
The Kennedy Heights Community Council is proud to once again bring the community a FREE outdoor movie night on Saturday August 20 at the entrance to Drake Park. The movie this year will be the DreamWorks Animation film "Megamind". The Movie will begin at dusk (around 8:30-8:45 pm) on a giant inflatable screen and there will be cartoons shown prior to the stare of the movie.
There will also be concessions for sale so you can enjoy popcorn with your movie! Last year we had around 75 people attend and it would be great if we could double that number this year. There's plenty of room on the lawn to bring your family, your neighbors and your friends! And did we mention it's FREE?
A big Thank You goes out to the Cincinnati Park Board for this event! Bring the family and a blanket or lawn chair to enjoy the last days of summer in one of Kennedy Heights' beautiful parks.

Progressive Dinner! If you have never

sharing great food and entertainment with
wonderful neighbors.

greeted with great food, music, and drinks
and register for the next stop which will be

family will have between 6-12 people at
their home for dinner. The small number

More details at their website------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This year Mayor Mallory is encouraging all fathers to drop their children off at school on the first day, which for Cincinnati Public Schools is August 16th. This initiative is part of a nationwide movement known as the Million Father March. Studies show that students who attend school on the first day are more likely to succeed. Additionally, when fathers are involved in their children's education, students do better in school. That is why Mayor Mallory is encouraging all fathers and male figures to participate in this initiative by dropping their children off at school on the first day. The FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
for Cincinnati Public Schools
is AUGUST 16, 2011
But, be sure to take your kid to the
first day of school no matter what
school they attend.
