Registration DeadlinePlease register your children by August 23. We regret that we may be unable to adjust schedules to accommodate late registrations.

Infant Water SafetyThe goal of this private, one-on-one lesson is to promote a positive response to the water environment and teach your 6- to 24-month old baby to fl oat on his or her back and get a breath of air.

Meet the ProOne in a series of introductions to the golf professionals at The Golf Center at Kings Island

Jack Kraemer, Assistant Golf Professional

Jack Kraemer, a Cincinnati native, began learning the game at the age of six at Kenwood Country Club. He played his fi rst tournament when he was 11 and has been playing competitive golf ever since. He turned pro at the end of the 1984 and spent fi ve years playing the professional mini-tours.

Jack began his career as a club professional working for the Cincinnati Recreation Commission Golf Courses. He joined the staff at The Golf Center at Kings Island in 1994. In 1996, he became an offi cial Class A member of the PGA of America.

During my many years of experience in the game of golf, I have developed a great understanding of the swing mechanics, said Jack. He has seen many golfers who have a good understanding of how to swing but they dont have a good grip and good posture. Without these two important fundamentals, it will be very diffi cult to have a good, consistent golf swing, he says.

Jack enjoys passing his swing knowledge on to amateurs and junior golfers alike. If youd like to work with Jack to develop a good swing or improve other aspects of your game, give him a call at the pro shop at 513.398.7700. A 40-minute lesson is $55.

Support Education Across the Globe 5K Run/WalkMason Community CenterBring your friends and family to participate in a 5K run/walk benefiting education efforts in Mason and Kenya. While primary education is free in Kenya, secondary education can average up to $1,375 per year. With the average annual household income in Kenya estimated to be near $730, many children do not have the opportunity to attend high school. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Andrew B. Foundation to provide scholarships for Kenyan students to attend high school.

The Andrew B. Foundation was formed by Mason resident Maggie Githuku (Andrews sister) in 2012 in memory of Andrew B. Masinde, who passed away following a tragic road accident in Kenya. The foundation was formed with the primary objective of providing educational scholarships to talented and financially needy Kenyan students for high school and college education in Kenya. In addition, these students would be provided mentorship and internship opportunities to ensure that they are successful in their education and that they become productive members of their communities.

Race participants can also support local education here in Mason. All participants are encouraged to bring school supplies to the event. Those supplies will be bundled and delivered to Mason families needing assistance.

The course runs through Masons beautiful Pine Hill Lakes Park and Corwin M. Nixon Park. Awards will be given based on age groups and for overall top runners and walkers. Participants registered by September 14 will be guaranteed a unique African-designed T-shirt.

startup incubator, says Sue Oswalt, Vice President of Operations and Member Services at ConnXus. By bringing together public and private resources, the City of Mason is building a location and community that is a great t for a company like ours.
