MAY 2011
Sunday, May 22 – The MENS GROUP welcomes Baiju Shah, founder, president and CEO of BioEnterprise, headquartered here in University Circle, and Chairman of the Global Cleveland Initiative, as their guest speaker at their "COMMUNITY SPEAKS" FORUM on Sunday, May 22, at 9:30am in the Great Hall.
BioEnterprise, a non-profit organization, was created to encourage growth in the region's health-care economy. In its eight-year history, it can claim a hand in the birth of 89 Northeast Ohio biomedical companies, generating 1,900 jobs and drawing in $859 million in capital. Under the moving-force direction of Mr. Shah – described as "a walking Rolodex" – BioEnterprise has helped establish our region as a hot-spot for biomedical investment in the Midwest. Don't miss this opportunity to hear how one man's vision has helped move Cleveland's biomedical expertise and reputation ahead in dynamic ways.
Sunday, May 22 – Join our Outreach Committee in the Great Hall following worship for a light lunch and a one-hour presentation about area volunteer opportunities, offered by HandsOn Northeast Ohio.

It is dramatically changing the way northeastern Ohioans volunteer by making it easier for them to get involved and make a bigger impact in their local communities. And its core programs provide actual management of volunteer projects using best practices learned through national training, research and networking. As a result, local volunteerism is more effective because it is monitored and constantly evaluated.
If you're interested in learning more about this new approach to volunteerism, sign up at the church office or e-mail Phil Long at plongcrash@aol.com and include "UCUMC" in the subject line. RSVPs are needed by Sunday, May 15th.
Tuesday, May 24 – The Ladies Lunch Bunch, an informal gathering on the fourth Tuesday of every month, meets at 12:00pm in the Reception Room for a brown bag lunch (coffee and tea provided) to share fellowship and conversation. All women are invited.

In the recent years that we've been a part of this event, hundreds of attendees have walked up to walk away with fantastic creations on their heads and smiles on their faces.
The parade, which begins at noon at the Museum of Art, features the drama and artistry of super-colorful floats, puppets, costumes, dancers and musicians. Circle Village presents an afternoon of activities, live music with great bands, intriguing booths and fun food offerings.
Plan now to add this unique happening to your calendar. And be sure to stop by the church’s Mat Hatter booth to make your own really cool hat with the help of some really cool people. We look forward to seeing you!
