All three are no-kill animal shelters in the Cincinnati tri-state area that have collectively received over $300,000 to date.

FENDING OFF FRAUD

“Scam Alert!” Have you ever felt you were scammed? What did you do about it? The Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office recently established a new initiative, the “Elder Justice Unit,” to protect Senior Citizens from fraud, scams and financial exploitation. These crimes are under-reported because elderly victims are often too embarrassed to report them. Learn how to protect yourself, what to do if you have been scammed and how to prevent future abuse.

FROM THE KENTUCKY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA : ITS FLOOD WALL JAZZ SEXTET

Hold on to your seats! The Kentucky Symphony Orchestra’s subsidiary group, the Flood Wall Jazz Sextet, will wake you up in a very good way. The group specializes in the music of Claude Bolling, Vince Guaraldi, Dave Brubeck, and others, bringing together a true hybrid mix of classical and jazz entertainment.

Honorary College Club member Paula Steiner has had a personal connection to the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra since 1997. It was then that the business in which she was a partner, Medical Research Laboratories, took on a benefactor role. Since 2004, as the company was sold to a corporation, Paula remained very active and supportive of the KSO, to this day, serving several terms on the board, including board president.
