Summer Reading Program for Over-The-Rhine - Pastor John Suguitan of Prince of Peace wants to set up a 2 week Summer reading program for the youth of Over-the-Rhine during the weeks of Aug. 5th and 12th from 3:00 – 5:00p.m. At least 10 volunteers are needed, and a volunteer could sign up for one or both weeks.
