Reception for HUC Library Rededication
Sunday Nov 1 7:30
Let HUC know we want it to stay in Cincinnati !

(Few outside academic circles are aware that Cincinnati is home to one of the world’s great Jewish seminaries, and a scholarly library unsurpassed anywhere. Due to budget constraints, the Board has considered closing the Cincinnati campus... A tragedy for our city. Please attend this free, public event and show them that we care. Ellen)

Dear Friends,
I want to invite you all to a very special event for friends of HUC in the Cincinnati community. On Sunday, November 1, in the presence of President David Ellenson and the Board of Governors of HUC-JIR, we will be dedicating the renewed Klau Library and The Jewish Foundation of Cincinnati Library Pavilion at 2 pm at HUC. We are also sponsoring a community dessert reception at 7:30 pm that evening at the Mayerson JCC (free and open to the public). (The JCC is the new Jewish Community Center on Ridge Rd and Cross County Highway. On Rockdale Temple Campus.)
Dr. Gregory Williams, the new president of UC, will be speaking at the dessert reception. Please join us at these events. Your presence is particularly requested at the evening reception----we'd like to see a huge turnout of HUC supporters in the Cincinnati community who appreciate the importance of our ongoing presence here. NOW is the time to show us (and the Board!) your support by being present with us. We promise you a good time---please join us. (Please share this invitation with all your friends.)

With my very best wishes,
Rick Sarason

P.S. Hi, Folks---
An additional note: If you plan to come to the HUC dessert reception on Nov. 1 at the JCC (and please do!), we need you to RSVP to pvolan@huc.edu (or to call Phyllis Volan at 487-3032) by October 26--we need to have a head count.
Thanks again, Rick

Easiest Honeysuckle Removal...now!

Bush Honeysuckle is a horrible invasive in our region. Compromises biodiversity big time, along with garlic mustard. Bush honeysuckle is terribly hard to chop down, kill, dig up, pull out. HOWEVER, there is a simple way. In the fall, since it remains green and active after all other plants have gone dormant for the winter, you can spray the foliage with RoundUp and it will kill the bush! You must have a no-wind day, so that you won’t gas yourself while spraying (RoundUp = Agent Orange). If you do a good job of it, the branches will remain bare and dead in the spring and you can either deal with them easily then or wait until they rot away. Ellen
