CCPC Eighth Anniversary Celebration & Fundraiser

CCPC Eighth Anniversary Celebration & Fundraiser Friday, January 26 from 5 to 8 pm @ The Ohio Inn, 11822 Detroit Ave. Lakewood 44107. We had so much fun at this event last year so we thought why not do it again to celebrate the eighth of our office opening in January of 2016! And again we have the Ohio Inn as the venue which is right down the street from our office. The Ohio Inn has a cash bar and we’ll provide the food. If you can’t make it but can make a donation please click here or mail a check made out to Cuyahoga County Progressive Caucus to CCPC Office, 11910 Detroit Ave. Lakewood 44107. If you can make it but can’t make a donation at this time please come anyway for the celebration! Also, we’d like to know how many are coming so we know how much food to bring. Please RSVP by responding to this email, clicking the going link on the facebook event or by calling me at 440 220 1874.
