The Northern Cincinnati Foundation has teamed up with Flynn & Co. CPAs and Advisors to o�er some year-end giving advice to help you make an impact this holiday season and plan for future philanthropy.

Rick Flynn | President & CEO Flynn & Co. CPAs & Advisors

Are charitable contributions deductible for federal income tax purposes in 2021?

Yes, charitable contributions make up a part of total itemized deductions. A taxpayer may deduct the larger of itemized deductions or the standard deduction - $25,100 if �ling married �ling jointly or surviving spouse, $12,550 if �ling as married �ling separately or single, and $18,800 if �ling as head of household. Taxpayers who take the standard deduction can still deduct $300 ($600 if married �ling joint) for cash contributions. Are there any special rules for those subject to a required minimum distribution from a retirement account?

Yes, a taxpayer subject to the required minimum distribution (RMD) rules when reaching 72 years of age may direct some or all of his RMD directly to a charity of his choice. Donors can contribute the RMD to an existing fund at the Northern Cincinnati Foundation, or establish a new fund. The retirement plan owner cannot claim a deduction for this donation, but he does not have to recognize any income for the amount of the RMD donated. In this way, even if the donor will not be itemizing, he still receives full tax bene�t for his donation.

Erin Clemons | President & CEO Northern Cincinnati Foundation

What are the advantages of giving through the Northern Cincinnati Foundation?

The Northern Cincinnati Foundation is your partner in philanthropy, with �exible giving options and a donor-focused approach to help you meet your charitable goals. We can help connect you to regional needs, and our professional sta� will work with you, or your attorney or professional advisor, to determine the best giving path for your �nancial picture. You can give now, receive immediate tax bene�ts, and decide grant distributions on your timeline to support causes important to you. Is my charitable giving restricted to the northern Cincinnati region when I give through the Foundation? Although northern Cincinnati is our area of focus, we can help you make an impact in communities across the country, or around the world, in areas that align with your interests. The administrative fee from your fund supports the Foundation’s mission to improve the quality of life for communities in northern Cincinnati through grant funding and philanthropic support.

Fantasy Football Draft, Ice Cold Beer Draft … Window Draft—Not All Fall “Drafts” Are Enjoyable If you noticed any of the following issues last winter or even recently, it’s time to replace your windows:

• Fog on glass (sign of seal failure)

• Broken plastic grids

• Ice on the inside of the window

• Mold

• Cold air coming through

• Stains on the outside of windows on bottom sill

• Fading artwork or furniture due to UV rays

(common with older windows)

When you are ready to invest, go with the best—Infinity Fiberglass Windows from Marvin. Infinity Fiberglass Windows are 8x stronger than vinyl, which means they resist sticking, swelling and warping. Plus, with lifetime warranties from Holmes and Infinity, you have nothing to lose but those drafts and high energy bills.

GOOD TIMES

Run/Walk For A Reason 9/11 Event Loveland residents and business owners Sue Burnett and Chris Owens hosted their latest Run/Walk for a Reason event on 9/11—for this important anniversary, all of the collected donations were equally distributed between the Loveland Police Officers Association and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which honors the fallen of 9/11. Narrow Path Brewing also donated a portion of profits from beer sales. Facebook.com/RunWalk-For-A-Reason-107015440906916

St. Columban Festival Back this year and better than ever, the St. Columban Festival was one to remember! Though normally in June, this year’s event was the highlight of September—from rides and games to food stands and Bid and Buy booth, you couldn’t help but have a good time. And of course, the bands kept all dancing well into the night. StColumban.org

Loveland’s First Oktoberfest The bier was a’ flowing and the polka was a’ playing during Loveland’s inaugural Oktoberfest, a full weekend of German-inspired fun and fare on September 24th and 25th. The excitement was endless—stein holding competitions, lederhosen contests and Wiener Dog races were just a few notable events. We know this brand-new event is sure to become an annual tradition! LMRChamberAlliance.org

Loveland Frogman Race Contenders were ready to hop-to-it at the area’s annual (and favorite) Frogman race on September 11th. This unique triathlon-style race is comprised of a 5-mile paddle (canoe or kayak), 8-mile bike ride, and a 5k run. Afterward, race participants were invited to celebrate at a special post-party held at Narrow Path Brewing with 365 Wealth Management Group. LMRChamberAlliance.org

belly up to the barre BARRE3 IS THE PERFECT WORKOUT AT ANY LEVEL

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY ELIZABETH A. LOWRY

CRESCENT LUNGE. Carousel Horse. Upright Seated Chair. Narrow Athletic V. At first read, you might think these terms sound like a mixture of children’s toys and TikTok dares. Think again—these are just a few of the many positions an instructor might guide you through in a typical barre3 class. If this sounds intimidating—it's not. In fact, barre3 is a total body workout that integrates strength training, cardio and mindfulness in a way that is approachable to every body and meets you at every level. To open your eyes (and mind) to barre3 classes and how they can help you get stronger and become less injury-prone, we turned to Suzanne Breckenridge, owner of the Montgomery barre3 location. FROM CLIENT TO OWNER Suzanne began her barre3 journey in the spring of 2018 when an instructor invited her to a free friends-and-family class. “I was hooked from the first class,” she says. “I had been looking for a new workout routine—and I loved the friendly atmosphere and the full-body, low-impact workout that had an emphasis on modifications.” Two years of barre3 workouts later, the studio franchise became available for sale. “The previous owner asked if I would be interested in purchasing the studio from her,” Suzanne explains. “Despite being in the middle of a pandemic, my gut reaction was ‘I can do this.’ My husband, Andrew, and I discussed it for a while ... and then decided to go for it.” As an owner, Suzanne’s goals include sharing the barre3 experience far and wide throughout the community. “I want to help introduce barre3 to more people, as I really

BALANCE AND STRENGTH THROUGH MOVEMENT During a 45- or 60-minute barre3 class, instructors will prompt you to listen to your body ... to honor what it needs in the moment. And, while the general class structure is the same, each session will feel different—because instructors regularly change their classes using a wide variety of postures, movements, props and music. There is no competitive aspect to any class, and, despite the word “barre” in the name, there’s actually no dancing involved either. “While we do move to very energizing music, it’s not a dance class ... in some classes you barely touch the barre,” Suzanne

Plank

says. “The class works all major muscle groups, with a focus on functional movements to help strengthen the muscles that you need and use in everyday life.” Barre3 classes are low-impact, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re a walk in the park— Suzanne says that for just about every person who comes through the door worried that they won’t sweat or burn enough calories ... they all come back to report they really felt the muscles they worked the next day, and that they felt really good both during and after the workout. In addition to impacting the body, barre3 offers perks for the mind, too. “Whether it’s simply changing how you think about why you exercise, learning to breathe more deeply, or just appreciating what your body does for you ... these benefits are just as important as stronger muscles.”

5 GREAT BARRE MOVES WITH MODIFICATIONS At barre3, modifications are not only offered, but encouraged. The instructors want you to do what feels right for your body at that time, as there are postures that may feel great one day but not the next, Suzanne explains. Try these five moves at home—then stop by a class to see how transformative barre3 can be. Modification

IT’S NOT A PICNIC, IT’S A MOMENT IN LUXURY

WHILE MANY OF US ARE FIRED UP FOR FALL CORN MAZES AND PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES, MOST OF US STILL WISH WE DIDN’T HAVE TO PUT SUMMER AWAY. Luckily, Hey Sweet Cincy, a luxury picnic and event-planning business, is keeping both seasons alive by bringing the outdoors, indoors ... this fall (and beyond!). Owner Julie Dye has partnered with the Marmalade Lily to host an array of unforgettable moments on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings at the flower farm—even during the colder fall and winter months—utilizing their indoor space. 32

Loveland Lifestyle | November 2021

But that’s just the start. Hey Sweet Cincy stands out from typical picnic-planners by offering several additional creative options. “What sets us apart from other companies is that we are truly a onestop-shop,” Julie says. “Most other companies contract out for food, photography and extras like bouquets or proposal planning—I plan everything from the food to the photos. Plus, we are cost-friendly in comparison to most companies in the area. As a fulltime high school teacher, this is truly just a fun and creative outlet for me.” Take one look at Hey Sweet Cincy’s Instagram and Facebook pages, and you’ll see for yourself—the settings and arrangements are truly to die for. “I also do stylized photography sessions for couples, families, friends and more,” Julie explains. “In addition, I provide gourmet dessert boards, chocolate

LOCAL LIMELIGHT ON THE ROAD WITH ONE OF OUR OWN, LOOKING BACK ON HIS SUMMER DRUMMER TOUR

ARTICLE HENRY ALLEN WITH THE EDITOR OF LLM | PHOTOGRAPHY BEN MEIER

CA A M P - I NG O UT HENRY ALLEN, LOVELAND LOCAL AND LONGTIME LLM WRITER/CONTRIBUTOR, GOT THE CALL OF A LIFETIME EARLIER THIS SUMMER—A CHANCE TO GO ON TOUR WITH AMERICANA FOLK/ROCK BAND CAAMP. From Red Rocks to LA’s Fox to the Ryman, festivals and more, by year’s end, Henry will have played nearly 40 shows—we got the inside scoop on his travels. START WITH A QUICK HISTORY OF THIS JOURNEY— FROM FREELANCE WRITER TO DRUMMER FOR CAAMP. In January 2019 I started focusing on copywriting—working my way into some cool freelance jobs with help from Steph Meinberg (editor of this lovely publication) and a few other amazing people who are still in my network. Last spring, I was getting close to committing to a full-time writing gig before I got

on any stage and play, or to write material for people who will read it—no matter the size of the audience.

ANY FAMILY OR FRIENDS LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE YOU ON TOUR?

BEST PART OF BEING ON TOUR? Definitely being able to visit new parts of the country with some of my closest friends.

My brother and his girlfriend attended my very first CAAMP show in Sandy, Utah—it was really special to have them there. And my mom saw our Columbus show. The support from my family and friends has been tremendous.

FAVORITE VENUE? So far, it’s been the Kettlehouse Amphitheater in Bonner, Montana. It’s a 15-minute drive into the mountains from Missoula, and sits about 100 feet from the Blackfoot River.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU? Continuing on fall tour playing shows, writing when I can. I’m taking it one step at a time.

I’m big on mountains and trees, so I could think of no better place to play a show.
