School Uniforms Needed Since the Cleveland Metropolitan School District announced a cutback on providing vouchers for assistance with buying school uniforms for needy students, leaders of the West Tech Neighbors Block Club have decided to ask those who might have gently worn uniforms to donate them so other students can use them. Call Cudell Improvement, Inc. at 216.228.4383 to leave a number where you can be contacted about a donation or send a check so new ones can be purchased at Cleveland Uniform (in the neighborhood). Free Theatre in the Parks Join the fun at Noon on Thursday, August 5th at Mercedes Cotner Park, West 95th and Maywood Avenue, when the Student Theatre Enrichment Program (STEP) presents a live performance of Song of the Seekers. The free performance combines the creativity and talent of inner city youth with singing, dancing, rhythm and rhyme. National Night Out Against Crime Next Tuesday We're giving crime and drugs a going away party next Tuesday, August 3 at 5:30 PM at Cudell Commons Park, 1910 West Boulevard.

Condolences Our heartful sympathy goes out to the family of Helene Accordino, longtime Cudell member and supporter, Helene was a beautiful lady with the greenest thumb in the neighborhood. Her gardens at the Painted Ladies on West 117th Street earned her awards from Cudell Improvement and many others. Also, our deepest sympathy to Bob Darby, manager of the VA Transitional Residency on Lorain Avenue, on the recent death of his mother, Dominga. Although we did not know her personally, she raised a fine son and great community supporter in Bob.
