One of our
town's strengths, and you see it in Shaker
Square activities, is that community
leadership isn't limited to
people who grew up here. We welcome
newcomers.
Our
previous Citizen, Donita Anderson, founder
of the Farmers Market, came here in 1985
from Michigan. As editor Kristen Romito
writes in the most recent issue of The
Connection (below), Carol Lowenthal and her
husband came here in 1977 from Minneapolis
Minnesota.
Another strength of the Square is that its
uniqueness attracts people in nearby areas.

Examples:
Donita Anderson is from the Onaway area,
Carol Lowenthal from the Boulevard School
neighborhood. Many friends of the Square
live in nearby parts of Cleveland Heights.
Read the Plain Dealer story (below)
about The
Connection's founding and you'll see
that interest in the Square is also found to
the west - in the Buckeye area and what was
then called Fairwood.
Thanks
Carol for your role as founder of The
Connection and for your long and devoted
service to Shaker Square. |
