Getting Involved!
June 8, 2009
Getting involved with our community is a great way to reconnect with the city and yourself. It provides a way to make a positive impact for someone or an organization that needs help. You might not realize it; but volunteering can directly help you too. It’s a great conduit for making new friends and uncovering new skills and interests while having fun at the same time. David Bowman, Eric Rauchorst, and I have organized the Community Impact Team at LÛCRUM.
We are here to help our organization become more involved. While LÛCRUM has a number of programs through out the year such as the Fine Arts Fund and United Way drives, we want to extend our reach. Our goal is to have a least one event per quarter. This will include a number of hands-on events with local organizations such as Give Back Cincinnati, Habitat for Humanity, and local community centers. We view this as a great way to strengthen bonds between LÛCRUM employees and between LÛCRUM and the community.
For our first event we are taking part in Paint the Town, which is going to help change the lives of families in Price Hill. It is taking place on June 13th from 8 am. – 4 pm. You might be asking, “What is Paint the Town?” Well, it’s an annual event organized by Give Back Cincinnati. They pick a Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky neighborhood and help revitalize it by painting homes for people who cannot afford too. Give Back Cincinnati provides everything needed. They will have breakfast in the morning, lunch in the afternoon, water, a free T-shirt, and all the supplies. The homes will already be scraped and rimed. All you have to do is show up.

Paint the Town is a huge event with many corporate sponsors including Duke-Energy, P&G, GE, Macy’s, Kroger, and countless others. I greatly encourage you
to join us on June 13th and lend a helping hand.
