Cleveland Welcome Packet!
Welcome to Cleveland! We hope you will love this city as much as we do. Here is a packet of information to help with your transition into a new place. Most of the information on here are recommendations from other ward members.
We encourage you to purchase a map, even if you have a gps, it is wise to familiarize yourself with the layout of the area and to know the major streets (Cedar, Chagrin, Mayfield, Lee, Warrensville, Richmond, etc.) Please note many of the roads do not run strait; this city is not designed in grids so it takes a bit of getting used to. You will also find the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) to be an effective public transportation system (www.riderta.com). The RTA was recognized as the best public transportation system in the country in 2007.
The ward posts official church business and activity reminders through the ward web site at LDS.org. You must get an ID and password and enter an e-mail address to receive these announcements. The sisters in the ward also have an unofficial, non-church sponsored Google group called Heightsbuzz where people communicate about activities, things for sale, ask for and receive advice, etc. If you would like to receive these messages, email Rachel Houtz at robins_rachel@hotmail.com and she will add you to the list. Or you can go to http://groups.google.com/group/heightsbuzz?hl=en and request membership. Follow directions on the web site to create a google account. The sisters also have a blog you can access publicly at www.heightshappenings.blogspot.com

* For other local events, subscribe to East Cleveland Macaroni Kid Newsletter (you can just google search it). It is awesome with a full listing of all the free events / activities at local libraries and other things!
* You can also subscribe via facebook to Debbie Hastings, Festival Chaser, which has lots more information about local events and activities!
* There are so many great programs at affordable rates in Cleveland. Too many to list here, but a good place to start if you enjoy music, since Cleveland is one of the top cities in the country for musical education, is Cleveland Orchestra’s Musical Rainbows. You can google it for more information.
* Last but not least, be sure to search for “Smart Seats” ($10 seats) through Cleveland Playhouse. Not all productions will offer the discounted rates, but my family has attended many big shows, including Beauty and the Beast and Joseph and The Amazing Technicolored Dreamcoat at a VERY affordable rate!
