Dear Residents,

Hello and happy summer! This is an exciting year in our city, with the

construction of four new tennis courts and a new community park. The new

tennis courts will be available for play in early June, and the new park will

open once construction is completed this summer. We hope you will enjoy

both for many years to come.

We have made a few scheduling adjustments to better accommodate all of the

morning pool usages. The swim team will move its practice time to early

morning hours, creating the opportunity for two separate adult lap swim

sessions. We hope that two sessions will offer even more adults the

opportunity to swim and aqua-jog for fitness.

There is another great group of bands scheduled for concerts on Thursday

evenings at John Carroll University. Join us there and you will see that the

Hamlin Quad is a nice setting for picnics. It also offers plenty of space for

youngsters to stretch their legs. Ice cream will be served at many of the

concerts, so enjoy the music and we will provide the dessert!

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know at

mayor@universityheights.com or (216) 932-7800 x222. Have an enjoyable

summer and I’ll see you at the pool!

Regards,

Susan Infeld

Mayor
