Centennial Memory Book
After two years and hundreds of hours of research, writing, editing, proofreading, designing and producing final art for the printer, the 688-page Cuyahoga Heights Centennial Memory Book is now available.
Books are being offered first to bona fide residents. Residents must sign up for a book. Only one (1) book will be given to each residence. Residents can purchase a book for $10 (cash or check only). All proceeds will be donated to our Historical Committee.
If there are any books still available after our resident orders have been fulfilled, we will offer nonresidents the opportunity to purchase one (1) book for $50 (plus shipping and handling if we need to ship). Believe it or not, the book weighs in at five pounds. Anyone interested in purchasing a copy of the book, should send an email to l.schoeffler@cuyahogaheights.com or contact the Mayor’s office at (216) 641-7020.
Again, we want to thank Laura Bacci Merhaut, Laura Hine and a multitude of other individuals who helped to make this Centennial Memory Book so special. Documenting the heritage of our community was truly a labor of love. We hope you enjoy reading it!
