US GOVERNMENT LINKS

League of Women Voters: http://www.lwvcincinnati.org

This link- "They Represent Us" is a great resource to keep handy to answer all your questions about who represents you in your government and how you can contact them.
It starts with the President of the United States and drills down all the way to the Mayor of Norwood. (From there you have to click on the City's website). From legislators to judges to boards of education, it's all here complete with names, mailing and email addresses, and phone numbers.
What I found most helpful is that it lists all the different courts and the areas of law they cover, long a source of confusion for the layperson trying to sort out local judge races at election time.

NORWOOD COMMUNITY GROUP LINKS

Norwood is home to a variety of organizations that serve different needs in our community. If you are interested in devoting time, even an hour or two a month, to helping, any of these groups would welcome your participation. 

Norwood Historical Society: http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Eohnhs2/index.html

Celebrating its 30-year anniversary in 2008, the Norwood Historical Society now offers a web site packed with detailed information about the rich history of our people and our evolving streets and structures.

Norwood Service League: http://norwoodserviceleague.org/

In 2007, the Service League celebrated it’s 90th year of continuous operation serving the needs of families and individuals in Norwood for whom life has dealt unfortunate circumstances.  If there is one organization you are looking to support, either financially or  physically, that will have the greatest impact on the quality of life in our city, it should be the Service League.

LOCAL NEWS AND INFORMATION

For over 75 years, our city was faithfully served by the weekly editions of the Norwood Enterprise before it was purchased in the late 1980’s by the Community Press, which quickly dropped the paper from its roster and failed to extend coverage of Norwood into any of its surrounding papers. For almost two decades, Norwood suffered through a virtual news blackout. Fortunately, we now have two excellent sources of news and community event listings available both in printed and online versions.

The Citizens for a Better Norwood Blog. www.http://citizensforabetternorwood.blogspot.com

For the last few years, Norwood has been well-served by the CBN Blog, in my opinion one of the best run sites of its type in the country. The CBN Blog provides consistent, even-handed and timely coverage of government and community news. As a classic participatory blog, it has the added bonus of providing readers the opportunity to bolster the coverage and/or add their opinions.

The Norwood Star: www.norwoodstar.com

Started in early 2009, the Norwood Star is committed to providing a printed monthly newspaper directly to the front door of subscribers and through free distribution at local retail outlets. They also have a web site that provides some of the content in the paper and their own blog for community discussion. I strongly urge folks to go online and subscribe. It’s a big help to them in convincing advertisers to buy space in the paper to help cover the cost of reporting, printing and distribution.
