Banned Book Bingo

We heard you!
It’s time to play Banned Book Bingo – Cincinnati Edition. Grab your lucky charms and join Red Wine & Blue at Heart of Northside in Cincinnati.
Instead of B-13, you’ll listen for the name of books that have been banned. From Catcher in the Rye to The Hate You Give, you won’t believe some of the reasons books have faced challenges in our schools and libraries.
There’s no cost to play and we’ll have snacks and non-alcoholic drinks available. And yes, there will be prizes!
Bring a friend, make a friend, and enjoy some community building with like-minded folks.
Red Wine & Blue is a politically left-wing 501 organization founded by Katie Paris after the 2018 midterm election. Operating out of suburban swing districts in the United States, RWB engages women at a grassroots level and drives media narratives to better reflect issues faced by the “everyday woman”.

Bring questions, concerns, ideas, or just listen. The police make their crime report at the beginning of the meeting and take questions too, a good opportunity to take advantage of the personal access. The bulk of each meeting is spent discussing topics relevant to the Northside Business District, hearing reports from NBA committees, and occasional presentations from those looking for NBA support/endorsement of their projects.
To inquire about getting your topic on a meeting agenda, please email nba@welcometonorthside.com.

*There is no meeting in July due to the tremendous amount of volunteer work put in to the Northside Rock n Roll Carnival (produced by NBA), in conjunction with the Northside 4th of July Parade (produced by the Northside Community Council).

The Heart of Northside (previously the North Presbyterian Church) is a community health center whose goal is to help you connect to the information and providers you need to become healthier in mind and spirit.

It is our goal to begin to identify gaps in healthcare at the community level, and work to address them at the community level. With all the changes taking place in our healthcare system, we will need to rethink how we deliver care among our neighbors. The Health Fairs at the Heart of Northside are the start of that conversation.
