From the desk of Mayor Bill Cervenik

It is hard to believe that we are already on the backside of summer. Before the weather changes, the kids go back to school and we all start heading indoors, I hope you will make sure to check a few items off your to-do list:

Our last summer concert at Sims Park will be held on Thursday, August 28th beginning at 6pm. The featured musical guest is Luca Mundaca and the food trucks on hand for the evening will be 216 Bistro and MotorMouth. Don’t forget to bring your chair or blanket.

Has your Neighborhood/Condo/Tenant Association applied for Euclid’s $200 grant?  Funds can be used to print and distribute a newsletter, sponsor a block party, beautify the neighborhood, etc. To be eligible, associations must have held at least three activities and/or meetings in 2013. For information on grant applications and guidelines call 216-289-2751.

Our “Caught Being Good”program is in full swing. “Caught Being Good” is a city program which authorizes police officers to hand out coupons donated by local businesses to young people who are “caught” in random acts of kindness, good deeds or positive community activities. Our Police officers are on the lookout for kids wearing bike helmets, helping others, crossing at designated crosswalks, etc. The City of Euclid applauds and appreciates our younger citizens for taking pride in doing their best.

This month at the John Piscitello Service Garage, 25500 Lakeland Blvd. The month of August is Computer Round-Up. Computers and related apparatus can be dropped off at any time. Televisions cannot be accepted!

Community Shred Day is Saturday, August 16th from 9am until Noon.

And, as always, if you are in the neighborhood, please feel free to stop by and visit me at my office.  God Bless and let us all be thankful for what we have.
