BRECKSVILLE, Ohio -- Every winter, the Kiwanis Club of Brecksville and the Lions Club of Broadview Heights have held their highly successful “Empty Bowls” dinner to raise money for the Brecksville Pantry and South Hills Lend a Hand food banks.
Due to COVID-19, the ninth annual dinner will be a drive-thru event from 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 4, in the parking lot of the Brecksville Department of Human Services.
The take-out dinner is spartan in order to emphasize the ongoing need to feed less fortunate people right here in our area. Participants will dine on three different kinds of soup, bread and a cookie. The homemade soups will be created by the Brecksville Human Services Center’s own chef, Dina Lawton.
Guests will also receive an Empty Bowl handcrafted by local artisans to remind them of the hungry people in the world.
Tickets are $15 each and can be purchased from Brecksville Kiwanian Bill Rittman at 440-725-4893 or Broadview Heights Lion Kevin Krcmar at 440-590-2380, or from any Kiwanis or Lions member.
Tickets are also available at Broadview Chiropractic & Health Center at 1100 W. Royalton Road, Suite H, in Broadview Heights and at Star Sports in Brecksville at 7032 Mill Road, just west of Ohio 21.
Tickets will not be sold at the pickup site, since the event has been a sellout for eight consecutive years.
The clubs would also like to remind everyone to support the restaurants that have donated to Empty Bowls in the past. The hope is that they will be able to help support the event next year.
They are 24 Karrot Kitchen, Burntwood Tavern, Courtyard Café, Creekside Restaurant and Bar, Danny Boys, Demetrio’s Family Restaurant, Frankie’s Wok, Good Old Daze, Last Stop at Dante’s County Line Saloon, Simon’s Restaurant and Deli, Sokolowski’s University Inn, Tom & Chee, The Wild Eagle, Zoup, Austin’s, Reinecker’s Bakery, East of Chicago Pizza, Michael Angelo’s Bakery, London Pickle Works, Augie’s Pizza of Independence and North Royalton, and Sirna’s.
Holiday planning: The City of Brecksville is in discussions regarding its Memorial Day celebration May 31 and the annual Home Days Celebration, which is currently scheduled for June 25, 26 and 27. Due to the uncertainty of the future directives from the governor’s office, they are making plans to reschedule Home Days to a weekend in July or August. Memorial Day plans will be announced shortly.
New restaurant openings: Blue Habanero will open its restaurant in the downtown Brecksville business district in the space that was once occupied by the Waterfall Brewery.
Farinacci Pizza will be opening soon, as well, at the southeast corner of Ohio 21 and Fitzwater Road. Watch for coming announcements.
Vaccination center: The Cuyahoga County Board of Health and our local and immediate surrounding fire departments are working together in anticipation of providing a vaccination center sometime in late April.
At that point, those 16 and older who have not been vaccinated will be encouraged to do so. More information will be forthcoming as the plans are finalized.
Drug take-back: Prescription Drug Take Back Day is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 24.
Operation Medicine Cabinet is collaborating with the Drug Enforcement Bureau (DEA), Brecksville and Broadview Heights police departments and the Brecksville and Broadview Heights CERT Team.
These collection programs protect our children, our water and our food supply, and decrease prescription drug abuse by making it easier for you to properly dispose of unused or expired medication.
This is a completely confidential program. No personal information will be collected. Please remove all prescription labels before arriving.
The program will take place at the Brecksville Horticultural Building, 6916 Stadium Drive, across from the Brecksville Community Garden. For more information, go to https://www.broadview-heights.org/DocumentCenter/View/8199/DEA-Prescription-Drug-TAKEBACK-April-24.
It’s a sell-out: The Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage has kicked off a new season of all-virtual public programs with its first-ever virtual launch event for “Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” presented locally by PNC Bank.
On the evening of the exhibition’s public opening, “Notorious RBG” authors Irin Carmon and Shana Knizhnik took the virtual stage via Zoom to share insights about their book and the transformative figure who inspired it all.
The event gathered more than 700 registrations from Northeast Ohio and beyond -- more than doubling attendance records for a launch event in the museum’s 15-year history. The success was followed by admission tickets selling out in the first week.
“We’ve been overwhelmed by the outpouring of positive feedback from guests who attended the virtual launch event and also from those who have explored the exhibition in person and online,” said David Schafer, managing director of the Maltz Museum.
“The success of the virtual launch event is a direct result of trying something new. We were able to offer significantly more virtual seats than would have been possible in person,” he said.
“And, for anyone considering a trip to the museum, please know that you must buy a timed ticket in advance, wear a face mask and practice social distancing.”
The exhibition is based on the New York Times bestselling book of the same name and created in partnership with its authors. It uses archival photographs and documents, historical artifacts, contemporary art, media stations and gallery interactives to explore the American legal system and civil rights movements through the lens of RBG’s personal experiences and public service.
Like the book, it also examines her varied roles as a student, life partner, mother, change-making lawyer, judge, women’s rights pioneer and pop culture icon.
More exhibition-related programs inspired by the life and legacy of RBG aren’t drawing virtual crowds quite as large as the launch event, but, so far, the verdict from attendees is that the intimate programs are equally compelling.
