As part of the United by Lee collaboration, we are seeking 10 x 10 inch fabric square donations from communities that were once part of Warrensville Township to be transformed into a cross-community quilt. Learn more about the quilt and drop-off locations at www.shakerhistory.org/united-by-lee

We encourage you to choose fabric that is meaningful to you by representing your story, family, culture, neighborhood, or personal memories connected to your community.

On Thursday, Executive Director Brianna Treleven had the pleasure of attending ACE Mentor Program of Cleveland Presentation Night, where Shaker Heights High School placed in the top 3 and advanced to the final round! 🎉

The ACE Mentor Program connects students with professionals in architecture, construction, and engineering. Since November, we've been partnering with Shaker's ACE team, sharing our needs as a small nonprofit and watching them rise to the challenge.

We've been blown away by their creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork. Now go bring home that win! 🏆

Thank you to all who joined us on Sunday for our 3rd annual Historic Homes Tour in partnership with Nature Center at Shaker Lakes! We enjoyed a wonderful presentation by Steve Heister of the Northern Ohio Railway Museum over brunch followed by a trolley tour of three beautiful homes dating from 1923 to 2020, all located on or near the rapid lines that were central to the growth of Shaker Heights in the early 20th century.

We are deeply appreciative of the homeowners who welcomed us into their homes and of Stems Fleur for providing beautiful floral arrangements.

While researching houses for Sunday's homes tour, we came across this 1958 advertisement for Heinen's "3 convenient locations," with a fourth coming soon to Cedar & Green.

Did you shop at the South Taylor or Shaker Square locations?
