Welcome Back! Let’s Kick Off the Season With Fun, Food & Festivities

We hope your summer was filled with sunshine, adventure, and a little bit of well-earned relaxation. Whether you explored faraway destinations, visited family and friends in your home country, or simply enjoyed a slower pace here in Cincinnati, we’re thrilled to welcome you back!

Now that we're all returning to routines and reconnecting with colleagues and friends, it’s time to jump back into the swing of things — and we’ve got a fantastic lineup of events to ease you in and keep the good times rolling.

Welcome Lunch – September 26

Let’s kick things off together! Join us for a Welcome Lunch on Friday, September 26 — a perfect chance to catch up, share summer stories, and meet new faces. Don’t miss this opportunity to reconnect and recharge together. Our speaker, Meghan Henshaw of Ocotillo Herbals, will inspire us with all things herbs.

Bourbon Tasting Experience – October 10

Ready to elevate your fall evenings? On Friday, October 10, we’re hosting a Bourbon Tasting as part of the American River Roots celebration in downtown Cincinnati and NKY. Whether you're a connoisseur or just curious, this evening promises good spirits, expert-led tastings, and maybe even a few new favorite pours. Cheers to cozy nights and great company!

🌱 DIY Terrarium Workshop – November 6

Get your hands a little dirty in the best way possible! On Thursday, November 6, we’re diving into creativity with a Terrarium-Making Workshop. You’ll design and build your own miniature ecosystem — no green thumb required. It’s a perfect way to bring a little life and green into your space as the days get cooler.

Mark your calendars and come ready to have some fun. We can't wait to see you at all these amazing events- because the best part of being back is being together.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Thornton
