community awareness opportunities

Looking for a way to volunteer your time and efforts around Cincinnati? RSA has two opportunities for getting involved right now:

First, we're starting a meals for new moms program: being a new mom is exhausting, so let's help lessen the load by providing dinners for RSA moms who have just given birth.

Ideally, we would provide a week's worth of either freezer-ready or ready-made dinners and desserts to these families. If you're interested in providing a meal, or are a pregnant member who would be interested in the program, please see the latest newsletter for coordinator Rachel's contact info.

See some ideas for new mom meals at The Family Room Blog!

Second, in RSA's ongoing relationship with the CHECK Foster Care Clinic, we are supporting the clinic's fundraising efforts by participating in the Cincinnati Walks for Kids, which is being held at the Cincinnati Zoo this year.

The walk is on Saturday, September 28, 4 pm. This will be a great outing for the entire family, and for a great cause. Plus, the zoo is open after the walk for participants! RSA is teaming up with the Foster Care Clinic's existing walking team (the walk itself is only 1/2 mile and avoids the hills for those with strollers). Registration is $25 for adults, $5 for kids, and is completely covered by RSA. We would love to see as many members as possible at this fun event. To register, go to the walk's site and scroll down to "join team." Under Participation Options, you can choose to be a walker or a virtual walker and can also sign up your spouse and children. When you register as a new walker, you'll see, “What program would you like your fundraising dollars to support?” Select “Other” and then write in “CHECK Foster Care Clinic.” Print off your confirmation and send it to Sonja Daily for reimbursement (see newsletter for mailing address).
