We were very excited to have been one of four collaboratives selected as a recipient of the Cuyahoga County Senior Center Innovation Grant . CPA will partner with Cleveland Heights, Maple Heights and Solon on this planning grant, which will seek to enhance the safety and independence of older adults through minor home modifications, simple maintenance tasks and repairs, and assistance with coordination of required work. The project will include an independent-living risk evaluation and information and referral service for home owners in the collaborating cities. Volunteers will be sought from corporate, non-profit, civic, school and faith-based organizations. The restaurants in Cedar Center are offering a "Taste" of their businesses Thursday, July 14 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m . and all you have to do it bring your appetite and a ten dollar bill! Enjoy a mid-summer evening with Rick and Sharona as they entertain you with their lounge act. Raffle baskets will be available for bidding. Proceeds from the event will help eligible older residents of South Euclid make needed repairs and modifications to their homes that will allow them to age safely and independently. For tickets ($10 each), call Jim at 216-291-4358 or stop into our South Euclid office during business hours. Parking will be available throughout Cedar Center. This year, for the first time, we’ll be initiating an annual campaign. The Summer of Giving will be formally kicked off in August. Our agency is fortunate to be trusted with meeting the needs of older adults all year long to ensure they have opportunities to access the programs and services that will support their aging in place. Providing those programs and services can be costly and we are hopeful that you will give to the extent you are able! Stay tuned in the coming months for activities and information about our first-ever Summer of Giving.
