Dear PGITI Members,

Spring is in the air! A few days of warm weather is all it takes for us to remember that the leaves will soon be out and the flowers blooming. The shining sun can awaken us from our winter shadow. Cincinnati has so much to offer when the weather is warming up, and I wanted to give you a few ideas for celebrating this special time of year!

Is the family ready for some together time? Join the River Sweep. This annual event has volunteers gathering to clean the banks of the Ohio River at Woodland Mound on March 15th. There are lots of other one-day volunteering opportunities at the parks, too! https://www.greatparks.org/get-involved/volunteer/one-day-volunteers

If dinner and drinks are more your style, consider a sunset tequila at a rooftop bar like Vista at the Lytle Place Hotel. https://www.vistaatlytlepark.com/

Finally, the most significant event celebrating Cincinnati’s beer brewing heritage is March 7-9th, when Bockfest occurs at large and small venues across downtown. There is even a parade and a Fun Run! https://www.bockfest.com/

Remember, there is no poor weather, only poor clothing choices, so dress appropriately and get outside this March!

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Thornton
