Dear Mr. Miller,
This is in reference to a photo on the Loveland Magazine web site.
I wanted to say thank you for taking a photo of my daughter and I during the funeral procession of Matt Maupin, not to mention all of the excellent photos you took of the events that weekend. I am not thanking you for reasons of 
vanity or just because we are on the web site, but for immortalizing a moment and relationship between a mother and daughter.
I was unaware of the photo of Ashley and I until a friend of mine saw it and sent me a link to the magazine. At first I thought "Of all days to have a picture taken and published." Ashley went to school with Matt and Micah Maupin and even though I knew it was going to be hard for us, I was not fully prepared for the day, I don't think anyone was.
As you will remember, it was cold, windy and rainy and no one looked their best. I showed the photo to my husband and he quickly corrected me that it was not a day to be remembered for appearances. My husband went on to express how perfectly you not only captured the atmosphere of the day, but how you also captured, perfectly, the characteristics of a Mother/Daughter relationship. Jerry said he saw an expression on my face that he had seen before as the family had gone through adversity. He referred to me as the family "Rock" and even after 21 years, I did not know he felt that way.
So, thank you for the photo and tightening of our family bonds. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Sincerely,
Robin Steinmetz

Dear Loveland Magazine,
The American Cancer Society will be holding it’s 8th annual Relay for Life of Loveland from 6 PM on June 6 until noon on June 7 at the Loveland High School track.
Everyone in Loveland who has been touched by cancer is invited to attend. This team event builds friendship among team members by having fun and raising money for the fight against cancer. It’s the perfect team-building event for any organization.
The event consists of teams who spend 18 hour together in efforts to raise money and fight cancer. Each team has at least one member walking or running the track during the entire event.
Relay for Life is about celebrating, remembering and fighting back.
The society celebrates cancer survivors by inviting all local cancer survivors to start each Relay event. The Survivors Lap honors those who have won their fight against cancer and those who are currently undergoing treatment. This lap is followed by a dinner sponsored by Loveland Epiphany Church.
The Society remembers all those touched with cancer with the Luminaria Ceremony after dusk. The track is lined with luminaria marked with the names of those who survived and those who lost their battle with cancer.
The Society fights back by raising money for research, education, local patient services, and advocacy.
The event is also filled with music, live entertainment, games and other activities. This year, the Relay for Life of Loveland will be enjoying the theme of Olympics and many activities and decorating around this theme will be happening for 18 hours.
We hope to raise $45,000 from this year’s event. To reach our goal, we need your support! By forming a team from your company, church, school, neighborhood, family, etc., you will not only be part of a great community event, but you will raise funds to improve the quality of life for cancer patients today and the outlook for those diagnosed in the future.
Visit our website at http://events.cancer.org/rfllovelandoh and sign up a team today, register a survivor to participate, purchase a luminaria or make a donation, or contact Loveland’s ACS partner Alice Sowers at 1-888-ACS.OHIO ext. 4212 or via email at alice.sowers@cancer.org.
It’s about being a community that takes up the fight!

LOVELAND, OHIO - The first, second and third grade students at Children's Meeting House Montessori School shared the gift of song at a local nursing home on Wednesday May 14. The residents of Loveland Health Care Center were delighted by songs such as 'There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly', 'This Land is Your Land', 'My Dog Named Blue', and 'Waltzing Matilda'.
John Phenix, a teacher at the school, practiced songs with the children for three months and accompanied their voices with his guitar.
"The children really enjoy preforming for an audience and the experience was rewarding and valuable for both residents and children," said Mike Flohr, a teacher at Children's Meeting House Montessori School.

Dear Loveland Magazine,
We have to gather together to raise awareness to this epidemic. The Cincinnati Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention has had a difficult time in raising the money needed to change the direction and to stop the stigma.
That is why we are asking you to join us in our first annual “SWING INTO ACTION” to prevent suicide, golf outing.
Please consider coming out and having a great day on the golf course for a very worthy cause. The second favor I am asking is that you send this email along to as many of your friends as possible so that this event is able to reach innumerable people.
I look forward to this great day and hope to see you all out there having a great time along with raising the much needed funding for Suicide Prevention.
You are welcome to E-mail me with any questions.
Sincere Thanks and gratitude in your consideration!
