CCPC Summer Solstice Outdoor Celebration

CCPC Summer Solstice Outdoor Celebration Wednesday, June 21 from 6 to 8 pm @ Cumberland Park Pavilion, 1740 Cumberland Rd. Cleveland Heights 44118. With summer arriving it’s time to get outdoors and spend some quality time with your fellow progressive activists! CCPC will provide food and drinks but if you would like to bring something to share that would be great. The pavilion has picnic tables but if you’d prefer, bring your most comfortable lawn chair. Aside from the usual short speeches by candidates and elected officials this meeting has no political agenda. The agenda is to have fun and enjoy the longest day of the year!
 
 
Important Note to Petition Circulators: Please mention to people who sign your petition the importance of voting no in the August 8 special election on the 60% threshold to pass a constitutional amendment.
