Per Capita and the “joy” of statistics
In just 2 months, “annual statistical reporting season” begins for session clerks. It’s typically not one of a clerk’s greatest joys! But, it is important for a number of reasons, and the most practical of those is determining Per Capita.

Christ Church Quilt Ministry |
For a few months we have been making quilt tops for Cincinnati Children's Hospital; another group of volunteers puts them together and they are distributed to the patients. This week we had 5 new visitors, complete with sewing skills and machines, plus loads of donated fabric. These are so helpful and comforting to the children and families. We meet the 2nd Monday of each month from 10 AM - 3 PM. Non sewers are welcome too! Contact Martha at 513-260-4352 with any questions.
