A Little Bit More About CEF of Greater Cincinnati

Our charter was formed on December 2, 1968. At the time of our charter Fern Hederstead was the director. Our current director, Patricia Beatty, our only current full-time worker, has served with us for more than 4 years.

We currently have two After-School Good News Clubs and two regular Good News Clubs. With 2005, we have begun an all-out push to promote After-school Good News Clubs, and, to help promote this ministry we will be conducting Children in CRISIS Conference September 16th-17th, 2005 (for details or how you can help contact us).Our goal is to enable an After-School Good News Club in every elementary school in the Greater Cincinnati area, which includes Hamilton, Clermont, Butler and Warren counties where there are over 290 schools.
