Comet Skippers.

This year the Comet Skippers we will be hosting our 5th annual “Jump with the Stars” jump rope workshop on Saturday Dec 6 from 9AM to 3:15PM with a staff performance following and an advanced skill level workshop on Sunday Dec 7 from 8AM to Noon. A multitude of shows are scheduled to perform at schools throughout the Mason area by the Comet Skippers and the All-Star jumpers on Friday Dec 5. We have requested TV coverage of either the shows, practicing early AM on Friday the 5th for the shows, or the workshop itself on Saturday and/or Sunday. This would be off all the Staff jumpers whom will be practicing for the shows in the Mason Intermediate Building gym. This is an exciting opportunity for us as this will be the first time as many as 80 talented jumpers of local, national and International regions will be performing jump rope tricks in one room!

New for this year we expect to have an International flair as we have invited teams from France, Germany, Canada and Denmark. Mason as well will be hosting a film festival premier of the documentary movie Jump! from the filmmaker Helen Hood Scheer the evening of Saturday December 6. Most of the workshop Staff will be attending this premier. This will be shown at Mason Middle School Auditorium at 7:00 PM. We have chosen to present this movie to the public at cost(just $5.00 admission) as it does a fantastic job of promoting the sport of jump rope. The movie follows 4 teams of jumpers one of which being the Cincinnati Ropin Rockets as they compete at the Regional, National and on to the Worlds levels.

Mutt March...

The Hugs from Jeni Foundation is a non-profit organization developed by the family of Jennifer Miley in her memory.
Jeni was a Class of 2000 graduate of Winton Woods High School. She lived in Greenhills, in Cincinnati, Ohio all of her life and was involved in many community activities. She was captain of the Drill Team during her senior year and was also involved in the choir and band throughout the years of her high school career. She was a volunteer with the HOSTS program, the Big Sister Organization and was active in the Christian organization, Young Life. She also had a great love for animals and was always finding homes for stray cats and dogs. She attended the University of Cincinnati majoring in Journalism. Her long term goal was to use this degree to have a career in broadcasting to help people on a world-wide scale.

In honor of Jeni, quilts are made each year for children who are in crisis centers or foster care. The fabrics of the quilts represent the many things that Jeni loved - frogs, cats, dogs, books, the color purple, camping and the ocean. Lakeside Elementary school children draw pictures on squares that are then sewn together with other fabrics by our volunteers. They are then given to Project Linus, a non-profit volunteer organization that donates them to Children’s Hospital. For more information regarding our quilt project, click here.

Each year the foundation sponsors the Greenhills Halloween Mutt March held on the last Sunday in October. Owners and their pets are invited to dress up in Halloween costumes and parade through the Village of Greenhills . The activities include music provided by the Winton Woods High School band, raffles, demonstrations and vendors displaying their products and services. All proceeds from the event are donated to the Stray Animal Adoption Program, an organization that finds homes for stray animals. The 2008 3rd Annual Greenhills Halloween Mutt March will be held on Sunday, October 26 from 12:30 pm to 4:00 pm. To find out more information to sponsor or attend the event, click here.

If you would like to make a donation to the foundation to help us continue our work, please send a check payable to Hugs From Jeni Foundation to HFJF, P.O. Box 40701 , Cincinnati , OH 45240 .
