Usually this issue of the newsletter each year highlights the fun we had at the Annual Meeting with pictures from the grand reveal of the check amount and comments from the division doctor accepting the check. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the Annual Meeting didn’t happen, but I do have great news…

YOU CAN JOIN US VIRTUALLY FOR THE CHECK PRESENTATION AND ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE NEW DIVISION!!

The event will be held on Friday, June 19, 2020 at 11:00 a.m.

Please spread the word and join us from the comfort of your home, office, or vacation site. While we wish we could have this grand event in person, we are so pleased that the hospital is allowing us to do it virtually given the current circumstances. Many thanks to Keith Henize, the Development Office, and the doctors and staff at CCHMC that worked together to make this virtual presentation possible. We will have access to the video after the presentation for members that cannot watch it live.

We are working on securing a date and making arrangements to hold a Member Meeting/Annual Meeting in September where we can acknowledge our members for their years of service, present the Barbara Fitch Award to a deserving member, and acknowledge the unbelievable dedication and service that Bonnie Hueneman provided during her two years in office. We can then learn all about the new division and continue on with our fundraising. It’s always amazing what we end up doing each year and no virus can stop us from continuing this tradition.

I’m excited to be serving as City President for the next two years. Kindervelt is my philanthropic passion and I’m happy to be sharing it with you in this capacity.

I hope to “see” everyone on June 19th. Have a great summer and I hope to SEE everyone in September.

Katrina Smith
City President
