Good morning, Hamilton.

Blue Ash-based Matthew 25: Ministries is shipping relief supplies to Venezuelan communities after earthquakes on June 24 that killed nearly 600 people.

The shipments include personal care items, cleaning products, and paper goods and will go through trusted partners (donations are accepted online or by mail).

Hamilton County’s Cincinnati Animal CARE — now in code red with nearly 900 animals — will waive adoption fees for adult pets at its Northside location Friday through Sunday as it braces for a likely influx from July Fourth fireworks while also offering free microchips for the first 100 visitors on Thursday.

The Butler County Historical Society will host Back to the Future of Rock and Roll: A 97X Retro Rock Reunion today from 7 to 9 p.m. at Fairfield Freshman School Performing Arts Center, where former DJs share behind-the-scenes stories and memories of the pioneering alternative station.
