CELEBRATE MARIEMONT’S CENTENNIAL WITH RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS

Mary Emery is a Role Model for Community & Generosity

Mary Emery was a remarkable woman in her time.  She became an important American philanthropist, who quietly and generously supported Cincinnati.  Mrs. Emery saw it as her responsibility to take care of her neighbors.  She helped provide for the community through her support of Children’s Hospital, the Cincinnati Art Museum, our zoo and many other organizations. She is best known for her vision, support, and creation of a “national exemplar” community —Mariemont– to provide high quality housing for the many factory workers living in unsanitary housing conditions in downtown Cincinnati.

In celebration of Mariemont’s Centennial this year, and in the spirit of Mrs. Emery’s generosity and focus on community, we invite everyone in Mariemont to share their love. Please consider doing a random act of kindness for a neighbor you know, or one you would like to know better. Perhaps you can drop off a home-baked item, a small plant, maybe shovel a walkway, or bring in trash bins.  Let your neighbors know they are loved and appreciated.

Parents of students, please consider discussing more about Mary Emery (https://mariemontpreservation.org/the-founding-of-mariemont/) with your children and encourage them to participate too, by doing a random act of kindness for a neighbor or friend.

Please use the attached graphics and instructions to participate and let’s spread the love!
