NYP Pub Crawl!

Join the Norwood Young Professionals for the first annual NYP Pub Crawl to drink away those January blues! We'll be visiting 9 of Norwood's most popular bars including those favorite neighborhood dive bars that you've been dying to visit. The bus will leave from Rookwood Pub at 7:30 and make 8 more stops. A wrist band will give you access to drink specials at each place. The bus will drop you back off at Rookwood Commons after the round trip is over. Cost for the night is $20 with proceeds going to support NYP. Email norwoodyp@gmail.com to request an invitation.

Spots will be reserved for the first 40 people that pay online via paypal.

Please remember to drink responsibly and arrange a ride home if necessary!

Taking Care of Business!

NYPers,

Our biggest philanthropic event to date, Taking Care of Business, is around the corner...from 10am to 3pm on September 20, over 100 young professionals from all across Cincinnati as well as Xavier students will be converging upon Norwood to help beautify our already charming city!

We need you! We are teaming up with Cincinnati's largest young professional organization, Give Back Cincinnati, for this project. The Norwood Young Professionals have committed to have at least 25 volunteers participate. This will be a fantastic opportunity to meet your neighbors as well as like-minded young people from around the tri-state. It'll also a chance to show off the great things going on in Norwood, from Surrey Square to Linden Pointe to (most importantly) Chipotle!

The event is focusing on our business district from City Hall to Norwood Plaza and will include painting (Safety Lane, City Hall, Engine No. 2, and several private businesses), landscaping, and trash pickup.

It'll also be followed by a happy hour and social at Stones Lanes!
