The Apartment Association Outreach, Inc.


LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT By Jeff March, BRG Apartments, Outreach President


Welcome to spring 2021, and while we Jeff March


normally bring in the season with the 5K 4 Rent, please remember that we have moved the date this year to Saturday, July 31 at 9:00 am at Friendship Park. I want to thank Joe Mischell and Cincinnati Coin Laundry for their continued generosity as the 5K 4 Rent Presenting Sponsor. I encourage our member companies to sponsor and to pay for regis- tration for team members as this is a great team-building opportunity, and a nice way to support


the Apartment Association Outreach (AAO). We expect a record turnout this year, and your partici- pation includes a t-shirt and Chick-fil-A breakfast sandwiches. Come join us to help raise money and have fun too! Despite the ongoing challenges of COVID-19, Outreach contin- ues to provide meaningful assistance to help our partners. Through the 1st quarter, we have provided financial assistance of almost $50,000 in rent assistance, funding to our food pantries, and hope to many seniors. Your continued generosity enables us to assist so many members of our community in crisis. The AAO Board formed an internal committee of Jamie Thiel,


Emily Howard, Jordann Morgan, Megan Lawhon, and of course, Patty Braun and Susan Peck, to determine how to best assist seniors during the pandemic. I am pleased to share that we were able to provide puzzles, personal care items, granola bars and adorable homemade, personalized cards to seniors at Aldersgate in Flor- ence (a Wallick Community) and Clifton Place. A special thanks goes out to the 1st graders at The Summit Country Day School, 2nd graders at Liberty Early Childhood School and the students at All Saints School for providing much needed inspiration and good cheer to these deserving seniors. Thank you to our committee for making this happen!


AAO’s amazing staff continues to make great progress on


utilizing the $30,000 grant from the L&L Nippert Charitable Foun- dation that we received last December. We are procuring with the help of Home Depot (thank you) a much needed refrigerator and chest freezer for the Anderson Ferry Church of Christ Food Pantry. Supervisor Terry Camele noted, “It is through people like you who live and work in our community that make it possible for us to serve those in need. Thank you and God Bless.” Additionally, this grant is being used to help Gateway Com- munity & Technical College realize their dream of expanding and adding a food pantry to their Edgewood campus. We will be providing the needed appliances, and our friends at CORT generously donated a table and four chairs. Mark, Susan and Patty were present on campus for CORT’s delivery and presented Julie


Althaver, Director of Development at Gateway, with a check for $500. Julie shared, “Our partnership helps every student facing food insecurities find immediate help, giving them the best opportunity to stay in school and complete their education and skilled training.” I would like to thank the Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky


Apartment Association (GCNKAA) social media committee for their incredible work promoting our partners. To date, Kurt Reiber (FSFB), Liz Vogel (JFS) and Melissa Meyer (CAIN) have all been interviewed, and, if you have not seen them, I urge you to go take a look as they are informational and truly reinforce why we are so passionate about the important work of Outreach. Finally, I am extremely pleased to announce that Liz Werner with Sandstone Management LTD. was recently elected to the AAO Board, and I hope you will join me in welcoming Liz as we know she will help make our organization even better. I look forward to July 31 when we will all come together to help


Outreach grow and assist more children and families. Together, we are making a difference. Thank you!
