Dishcrawl Cleveland’s Neighborfood

After removing 3 pingbacks and placing the remaining entries in Random.org:

Congrats, entry #34 – Katie B! (It’s apparently a lucky day for Kate’s and Katie’s!) You won two tickets to the Tremont restaurant hop and fundraiser on June 22. Tickets are also still available for this event at dishcrawl.com/neighborfoodtremont.

I will email both of you today – please reply by Monday to redeem your prize.

Now! For the news I teased earlier this week.

If you were at Ohio Blogging’s meetup on Wednesday and saw me enjoying the Goose Island beer tasting, you’ll know I’m not pregnant.

I also haven’t decided to embrace my love of capes and become Cleveland’s masked avenger.

Not happening.

But while I may not be taking up employment as Captain Cleveland, I do start a new job on Monday!

For 7 years (6 of those in Cleveland), I’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the most hardworking, intelligent and conscientious people I know in PR Newswire’s Content Services department.

People who can spot a barely discernible, but significant typo on page 9 of a 30-page earnings announcement, while also counseling clients on social media, SEO, and writing strategies.

What started as an Assistant Editor position proofreading and distributing press releases evolved into something much more over the years. From counseling a nonprofit on how to increase their online presence to a large company on reaching media in China, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed helping our clients tell their stories.

And anytime my office sent out a news release about Cedar Point, I got a little giddy.

Although I’ve enjoyed the work, it was my team members that made me want to come in each morning.

I met some fantastic friends, ate my fair share of dip at Dip Day, and been lucky to have an incredible boss in Cathy Spicer (aka The Grammar Hammer!).

I’m going to miss working side by side with them everyday.

The good news is that I still get to see their faces. Because on Monday I’ll be working only 50 feet away as a Media Relations Manager on PR Newswire’s Audience Development team.

I can’t wait to tackle what’s next and bridge what I’ve done in my current position with what I’ve learned as a blogger and media relations freelancer.

Over the next couple of months, you may notice fewer blog posts than usual. Until I get my bearings, I’ll be posting at least once a week (more likely twice).

But first, I’m happy with one more day where I am.

Dishcrawl Cleveland’s “Menu” of Nonprofits Benefiting from Neighborfood

Cleveland is filled with so many incredible nonprofits that it can sometimes be difficult to choose how to give back to the community.

Not the worst problem to have, I know. But Neighborfood, a new event on June 22 from food tour company Dishcrawl Cleveland, wants to make it a little easier for us.

With a literal “menu” of local nonprofits to choose from, a portion of each ticket goes to community causes while showing off one of Northeast Ohio’s delicious neighborhoods.

From 2-5pm on June 22, discover tasty Tremont with stops at 8 of the neighborhood’s restaurants.  At the start of Neighborfood, you’ll get a map and are then free to walk around at your own pace to locations like Press Wine Bar, Treehouse and Prosperity Social Club.

Dishcrawl Cleveland’s Neighborfood – June 22, Tremont

• Tremont West Development Corporation

Tickets are only $40 in advance / $45 at the door. To designate which nonprofit you would like to benefit, enter that organization’s code found at dishcrawl.com/neighborfoodtremont.
