Hospice of the Western Reserve Hosts Warehouse Sale
8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
The next sale is scheduled for Friday, February 26, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, February 27, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Hospice of the Western Reserve Headquarters, 17876 St. Clair Ave., Cleveland. Whether it’s sprucing up a home, staging a property, locating a “like new” desk for a student, or finding a dining room table large enough for holiday gatherings, Hospice of the Western Reserve’s Warehouse Sale is the place to be to find gently used home furnishings, accents and accessory pieces—all priced at a fraction of their original retail prices!

In addition to furniture, framed artwork and lamps, the selection often includes matching sets of fine china, glassware, antiques, collectibles and one-of-a-kind treasures. The proceeds not only support seriously ill patients and their families, but veterans in need of specialized care, grief and trauma counseling in schools and other community-based programs provided by the nonprofit agency throughout northern Ohio. Cash and major credit cards (VISA, MasterCard, and Discover) are accepted for payment (no checks). Ample parking is available in the Hospice of the Western Reserve parking lot. (Follow the “Warehouse Sale” signs upon arrival at the agency’s site.)

Donations of furniture and household goods are still actively being sought. Furniture items will be previewed by volunteers prior to acceptance for donation; tax receipts will be provided.

"Thurgood" one-man play
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
In honor of Black History Month, Heights Community Congress (HCC) presents a special performance of Thurgood. Gorge Stevens Jr.'s one-man show depicts the life of Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American Supreme Court justice, and his role in the historic decision on the Brown v. Board of Education case. Staged by Ensemble Theater and starring Greg White in the role of Thurgood Marshall.

The show is directed by Sarah May Winner of Cleveland Critics Circle Award for Best Director, "The Normal Heart." With the play "Thurgood", Ensemble Theatre brings to life the career of one of the most important civil rights giants and has been called "one of the most frank, informed and searing discussions on race you will ever see." - The Baltimore Sun - 2015

This "gift to the community" is intended to provoke thought about how the past impacts the present and our daily personal interactions with each other. HCC is concerned that the racial divide in the United States is getting broader not narrower. It's important to revisit the civil rights struggle as the worthy goals of equal opportunity for all are promoted and upheld.

Please join us in celebrating literacy as traditional part of Black History Month!

This event is FREE and open to the public. The play is about 90 minutes and HCC will host a short reception following the show.

Please RSVP at http://thurgood-hcc.eventbrite.com or call 216.321.6775 for more information.
