Upcoming events
Never Say Dive Takeover
Adults only! Our first event at NSD was such a big hit we decided to do it again! This time let's enjoy the beautiful Cleveland weather on the patio! Like last time we will provide some appetizers.
No tickets are required, but we'd appreciate you 'buying' a free ticket to help us gauge how much food to order!
SHNA Annual Meeting 2024
The annual meeting of the South Hills Neighborhood Association. Bring a sandwich, we will provide drinks, chips and fruit!
Agenda will include voting on any proposed bylaw updates, event and financial updates, and more!
In order to be able to ensure we can provide enough snacks and drinks, we ask that you 'purchase' a free ticket!
Check out the meeting agenda in our flyer here:
The meeting will include the discussion of and voting on of one amendment to the SHNA bylaws:
The amendment:
Under Article IV.A.1, change "October" to "January".
Commentary:
Per the IRS, our tax reporting period runs from January 1 to December 31. No other reporting cycle has ever been registered with the IRS for the entire existence of the SHNA 501(c)3. The impact is minimal right now with our relatively small annual budget, so let's eliminate the potential for confusion or errors with tax reporting, recording of minutes, etc. This should improve readability of reports for residents, as well, leveraging the common understanding of quarters of a calendar year. We are not yet at the scale where a non-calendar fiscal year would have discernable benefits for fundraising or related matters, and do not anticipate this changing anytime soon.
Per IV.A.2, how to transition the fiscal year to a calendar year is understood to be within the Treasurer's discretion to establish financial policies. The treasurer's opinion is that recasting FY 2024 as a calendar year is the easiest option, and it would take no more than an hour or two to update all reports.
Discover the Carnival: South Hills Block Party 2024
You asked and we listened! This year our block party is on a Saturday. More information to come but our theme this year is “Carnival”
South Hills wide neighborhood Garage Sale
On Friday June 21 and Saturday June 22 from 8AM - 1PM there will be a South Hills wide neighborhood Garage Sale. Printed maps will be available at the SH Circle both days. You can also view an interactive map on your phone here and check off sales as you go. Note that the time has been moved up to keep everything out of the heat as much as possible.
Then, on Sunday June 23, drop off items as part of the FUNDrive from 12-2PM at the SH Circle. Read more about what items to bring and how to pack them here.
Pack Walk hosted by Turning Point Dog Training
South Hills resident and Dog Trainer, Paige Novak from Turning Point Dog training is hosting a Pack Walk. The idea of a Pack Walk is to let dogs get comfortable being around other dogs without playing. And to show off the dogs in the neighborhood!
There’s a suggested donation of $10 for the event. Half to the SHNA and half to a dog rescue group (name to follow).
Solar Eclipse at Loew Park
Join us at Loew Park for a once in a lifetime experience. A Total Solar Eclipse is viewable in Cleveland. Find us with the South Hills sign. We’ll have drinks and snacks. Don’t forget your Eclipse glasses!
Spring Fest Clean Up
On April 7th, 2024 we’ll be cleaning up the streets. Together we’ll clean up around the neighborhood getting rid of the Winter trash that always seems to pile up under the snow.
Afterwards we’ll head to Metropolitan Coffee for a well deserved coffee break.
Never Say Dive South Hills Takeover
On March 14th we’re taking over Never Say Dive for our first adults only South Hills event. SHNA will provide appetizers, you will provide the company! Join us at our new favorite spot and get an early look at proposed murals for The Bean
SHNA Board Meeting (Via Zoom)
December 5 6PM is the next SHNA Board meeting (Zoom details to be shared in the December newsletter and here when available).
2023 Food Drive
Our annual food drive is Sunday November 12th. You can drop off any non-perishable food items to the Circle between 12 and 4PM.
Tick or Treat Street (Halloween)
We plan to close down South Hills drive between Broadale and the Circle (similar to the block party). All neighbors are invited to come hand out candy there. Feel free to set up a table! Closing the street down can help ensure safety of our kids, as South Hills drive sees many more cars on Halloween.
