Cincinnati Change Response to Changing the Gulf

A celebration of the Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., often called Martin Luther King Day in on Monday January 16, 2006 at the Cincinnati Music Hll. for a free concert starting at 11:30 AM.

It is a United States federal and state of Ohio holiday honoring the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and is observed on the third Monday of January each year, around the time of King's birthday, this year that is January 16, a day after his birth.

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday celebrates the life and legacy of a man who brought hope and healing to America.

We will commemorate at Cincinnati Music Hall the timeless values he taught us through his example -- the values of courage, truth, justice, compassion, dignity, humility and service that so radiantly defined Dr. King’s character and empowered his leadership, which we need in the Nati NOW.

In 2001, the founders of Cincinnati Change submitted a request to the Cincinnati Empowerment Corporation (CEC) that they set out procedures to issue $100M of revenue bonds. The request was updated in 2002 and again in 2003. In 2004, the CEC set the procedures to issue the bonds through the Cincinnati Hamilton County Port Authority.

In 2005, Cincinnati Change assembled a team to meet its organizational objectives through creation of a mutual fund to fund its mission to Change Cincinnati NOW. On June 19th, 2005 Cincinnati Change received its charter from the State of Ohio and stands ready to change Cincinnati NOW.

On 16 January 2006 Cincinnati Change is creating a limited liability company called Queen City Development Group. It will be going after contracts to help those in the Gulf, like the $100M plus contract due on 17 Jan. 2006.
