Journey to Hope, an evening of dinner, silent & live auction

Friday, November 13, starting at 5:30 p.m.

 

Only recently have healthcare organizations like HealthSource of Ohio and UC Health announced new access to specialized OBGYN and maternity care options for women. Still, many of these services may not be available until 2028.

 

In the meantime, A Caring Place is already putting in the work to bring hope to women and families in our community who face pregnancy-related challenges.

 

This Friday, they are hosting Journey to Hope, a special fundraising dinner featuring silent and live auctions. Individual tickets are $75 each, or gather a group and reserve a table of 10 for $700. Join us for an evening where hope takes center stage!

 

You can buy your tickets online and learn more about how A Caring Place provides resources for underserved communities.

 

Houses 101: Demystify Your Home

Are you a new homeowner, or do you want to learn more about how your house works inside and out?

 

We encourage you to apply for "Houses 101: Demystify Your Home" on November 14th in partnership with Fischer Homes in a new-construction neighborhood in Batavia. Home improvement experts from Do It Yourself Darlin will walk you through a short section of the neighborhood to see homes in various stages of construction. They’ll discuss how to protect and extend the lifespan of certain home features and provide a crash course on plumbing, electrical, and insulation.

3rd Annual SnacPac4L Foundation Gala

Saturday, November 14, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

 

The days are getting darker this fall and winter. If you or someone you love experiences seasonal depression during the latter half of the year, SnacPac4L Foundation is making it easier to access the resources to manage and improve mental health in Clermont County.

 

On Saturday, you can celebrate the SnacPac4L Foundation's year and mission to provide support, educate, and promote resources for mental health awareness and suicide prevention for teens and young adults in our local community and beyond.

 

The night will include dining and live music by the Jet Pack Academy, a high-energy cover band that plays classic rock tunes and chart toppers from across the decades. It’s a great opportunity to build connections with friends and professionals while supporting a great cause! Raffle baskets and a split-the-pot will also be available throughout the evening.

 

Paul Wesselmann will join as a keynote speaker, delivering messages of compassion and hope.

 

Don't miss out on this opportunity to make a difference!

 

Field of Honor®—a powerful community tribute

Sunday, November 15, TBD

 

Kiwanis Club of the East Fork Region continues to present the Field of Honor® display this Sunday: a powerful month-long tribute to first responders and veterans across Clermont County.

 

As America approaches its 250th Anniversary, this year’s display carries special meaning. United States flags will stand in solemn formation at four locations to commemorate milestones that remind us of unity and the sacrifices Americans have made to protect democratic principles and liberty for all.

 

Locations will include:

 

West Clermont High School – 4101 Bach Buxton Rd., Cincinnati

Bethel Tate Middle School – 649 W Plane St., Bethel  

Williamsburg  Middle/High School – 500 South 5th Street, Williamsburg

Clermont County Sheriff’s Office – 4470 State Road 222, Batavia

 

120 flags will be on display at each site, representing an individual hero.

 

The generosity of sponsors, donors, and dedicated volunteers has made this tribute possible for the local community. You can also contribute by sponsoring a flag or making a donation.

 

The Field of Honor® is free to attend.
