Award for Devou Park Volunteers


I have just been informed that CORA will be receiving a Resolution of Appreciation from the City of Covington on May 26th at 7pm during the monthly commissioners meeting. We will be receiving this high honor for our past, current, and future work on the Devou Back Country Trail System. KyMBA, UGive, Give Back Cincinnati, and Duke Energy will also be receiving this high honor for their respective rolls during this grand project. All the above organizations have collectively worked 2346.5 total hours to date.

A Resolution of Appreciation is an official acknowledgment that goes into the city records for all of eternity. An example of a Resolution of Appreciation is; an individual may retire from working for the city for lets say 25 years. When that individual retires after 25 years, the city acknowledges their appreciation for that individual and their service through this resolution. We have been working in the dirt for only seven months, therefore, this is a big deal!!

You may think "this just can't be so, I have to see this to believe this." The meeting is open to the public for anyone who may want to witness the official reading.

There will be celebratory beverages at a local establishment immediately following the reading.

Hope to see you there!!
