In the 19th Century, Cincinnati was a dynamic boom town, one of the top ten most populous cities in the United States. Part of that history lives on in buildings that exist today. This program presents a virtual tour of significant structures in the basin and outskirts of Cincinnati, highlighting their architectural styles. The presentation will describe the effects of commerce, European immigration, and cultural influences on the design and utility of structures that created the foundation of our city.

Returning to the glory days of old-time radio mystery shows, this sequel to the “Golden Days of Radio,” last year’s CWC presentation, will follow the intrepid detective Dicky Dweeb as he solves yet another case. Through the talents of the CWC Players and the creativity of Carol Parsons, CWC Players’ director and long-time College Club member, we follow the always hilarious players as they put their twist on classic radio programs that thrived from the 1920s through the 1950s.

It’s been estimated that about half of families living in poverty in Cincinnati don’t have access to sufficient food, especially during periods when children are not in school and don’t receive free or reduced-price meals. Yet, the problem largely remains silent behind closed doors, because parents don’t want to admit they lack adequate resources for such basic needs. Childhood Food Solutions was created to help fill the gap through programs designed to provide food to children in areas of poverty, high-crime and food insecurity in our community. The presenters will describe the results of these efforts and how others can assist.
