Since the loss of their son and brother four years ago at just 24 years of age, the Beyersdofer Family of Amberley Village has coordinated a Winter Caring Drive in memory of Kevin. Thanks to all who contributed to this effort.

All items and donations collected directly benefit clients of Mercy Neighborhood Ministries Food Pantry and Immanuel UCC Soup Kitchen during the holidays.

Don't forget to plan for your 4th Quarter Estimated Tax Payment due on January 17!

Amberley Village recently added new signage to the property at Ridge and Cross County known as the North Site.

The sign, which features Mercy Health Amberley Primary Care and Lewis Animal Hospital, also leaves space for future businesses, and assists clients and patients in locating their destination.

At right, crews install the new sign at the North Site.

Amberley Village Police Department recently stood watch over a special in-car Chanukah celebration at Amberley Green. The event featured passing out of treats and stories being broadcast over 100.9 FM. Special thanks to Sgt. Ryan Shaw who submitted above photos showing that the celebration was very well attended. The event concluded on an exciting note with a celebratory fireworks display.

Dispatcher Raven Jackson is again hosting a feminine product drive to combat period poverty for women in Greater Cincinnati shelters and students of Mabogo Junior Secondary School in Botswana.

Residents interested in supporting this effort are invited to drop off products and/or monetary donations at the Amberley Village Municipal Building.

For more information, contact Dispatcher Jackson at 513-531-2040. Happy New Year - and thanks for helping Change the Cycle!

As a county-wide leader in recycling, Amberley Village is proud of our residents' ongoing efforts to divert trash from landfills - and this holiday season is no different! Holiday waste generates approximately 25% more trash than during the rest of the year. But there are ways you can help combat unnecessary use of the landfill with these helpful tips.

Reporting issues with Rumpke pickup to the Village Administration can assist in faster resolution and helps us better serve our residents.

Amberley Village works closely with Rumpke and our residents to ensure regular, reliable pickup for trash and recycling services. However, there are times when pickup services are missed or homes are unintentionally skipped.

While this is definitely the exception rather than the rule, we have received an increase in reports of missed pickups. This is largely due to workforce challenges that often result in changes to regular route drivers.

If you experience a lapse in service, please contact Carolyn Wallis in the Administration Office at 513-531-8675, or cwallis@amberleyvillage.org. Carolyn tracks service requests and works to assist residents in resolving any issues with Rumpke services, and can often expedite resolution to your issue. While we hope it never happens to you, please take a moment to let us know if your trash or recycling has not been picked up.

Amberley Village Crews are notorious region-wide for their excellence in maintaining our roads during the winter months. But they can't do it without you!

Please help them in their efforts to keep our streets clear of snow by keeping them clear of vehicles and debris, especially during the winter months when conditions can be slick and sometimes treacherous.

The short video below is a great reminder of the importance of all of us working together to keep our streets safe during the winter months!

Sgt. Mike Koenig was recently featured in a radio interview regarding preparations for travel during cold weather. Not only did he represent our Village well, he reinforced Amberley Village's commitment to the safety and well-being of the community at large, and positioned our Police Department as a valuable resource to reporters and listeners alike.

Thanks to Sgt. Koenig for taking time out to offer tips to travelers during sub-zero weather!

Hear the interview in its entirety below!

Officer Chris Fritsch explains the interaction between coyotes and humans in populated areas.

Amberley Village was recently honored by Hamilton County Public Health for our community's commitment to its WeTHRIVE! initiative.

In addition to other efforts, Amberley Village WeTHRIVE! programs in 2022 included a Pickup Pickleball program, continuing Yoga on the Lawn and the addition of two new PlayCore exercise stations at the Municipal Park.

While there are too many names to list in the newsletter, our sincere thanks and congratulations to all of the residents who have contributed to our community's WeTHRIVE initiatives. We're proud to have you representing us!
