Annual New Year's Day Pancake Breakfast
Tuesday, January 1, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.Tommy
Tommy's, 1824 Coventry

We don't care if you're in your p.j.s, or what your New Year's resolution is (hopefully it's not giving up eating pancakes)-join in Tommy's tradition of welcoming the New Year with a Pancake Breakfast to benefit Heights Arts!  

Tommy's staff has the day off but don't worry, he's doing the cooking, and volunteers serve, bus tables, and do the dishes.
Look for the Flower Clown to bring his amazing talents to your table and remember to bring a Greatly Appreciated but Unwanted Holiday Gift for the annual raffle.

(Practice saying 'keep the change' and tipping lavishly, because Tommy gives every penny to Heights Arts.)

About the newsletter
Smiley bench
Lots of people want us to include their information in this newsletter.  We do when we can, but we aren't Cool Cleveland.  We try to keep the newsletter short and sweet, and feature art and culture that you might not know about otherwise. If you want to submit something to us, email it to e-news@heightsarts.org and please embed your information in an email, not a pdf or word document, so that we can cut and paste.  And remember we'll try to include your notice, but no promises!
THANK YOU!
