Community

is an active member and past president of the Mariemont Kiwanis Club. He leads the South 80 Committee that manages the community gardens and organizes the maintenance and cleanup of the gardens and the trails throughout the year. It makes sense that one of his family’s favorite things to do in Mariemont is to go to the South 80 and walk the trails. Steve says, “Our grandsons love the South 80, and our dogs and our kids’ dogs love it as well. We spend lots of time in the South 80!”

Suzy, Matt & Zachary Weinland

Matt and Suzy returned to Mariemont in 2005, after meeting at The Ohio State University and living in the Columbus area for many years. Suzy (née Stollmaier) grew up in Terrace Park and is an MHS alum, and Matt hails from Urbana. With journalism/PR and advertising degrees, the Weinlands have had careers in various sectors of marketing, broadcasting, content writing and editing, advertising, PR, event promotions, and the arts. When Indianview neighbor and then Town Crier publisher (for 13 years!) Claire Kupferle decided to pass the torch in 2016, she knew their unique combination of skills would make a perfect fit. “This publication is such a gem. It’s rare in today’s digital world to see a hard-copy, community paper, let alone one that is created by a group of devoted volunteers, and hand-delivered to doorsteps of residents and businesses,” says Suzy, who manages the editorial side of things while Matt oversees business relations and advertising. Son Zachary joined the Town Crier team two years ago, handling layout. The Weinlands most enjoy any time they can grab with their adult children Zach and Megan – who are also MHS alums – especially traveling and exploring new places and adding pins to the large world map in their basement. They have enjoyed many hours at the Mariemont Pool and Dogwood Park ball fields, walking the neighborhood and watching the seasons change, living in walking/biking distance to the elementary and high schools, enjoying the various restaurants and quaint shops, and being a part of all the traditions and annual events that regularly bring residents together.
