On November 19, the 2011 HIDDEN TREASURES FORUM will take place.  Cincinnatus is a co-sponsor of this event which is a celebration honoring the 28 Stable Integrated Communities in the Cincinnati area that have been integrated at least 20 years and more than half of them up to 30 and 40 years. The last ‘Hidden Treasures’, published in 2007, only listed 15 communities that met the 20 year qualification.  The Cincinnatus Association, through the Inclusion Panel, was a founder of this project.  Anyone interested in attending this event on Nov. 19^th, please contact Myra Calder at myra.calder@homecincy.org.
