Upcoming Events in the Noble neighborhood
​

Hello Noble Neighbors!

As you enjoy the rest of your summers, mark your calendars with these neighborhood (or of-interest-to-us) events these next several weeks!

July 16-17    Noon - 5pm    Garden Walk Cleveland Heights
The Noble Neighborhood is well represented in this year's Garden Walk thanks to folks on Sylvania, Montford, Englewood, Northampton and Cambridge who are showcasing their gardens for us. Find an interactive map and a printable list on https://gardenwalkclevelandheights.com/  and go explore your neighborhood's beauty!

July 19     7-9pm      League of Women Voters Candidate Forum 
The Cleveland Heights/University Heights Chapter of the League of Women Voters of Greater Cleveland will present a Candidates Forum on Tuesday, July 19, 7-9 pm at the Cleveland Heights Community Center, 1 Monticello Boulevard. Democrat candidates for the August 2, 2022 primary election for Ohio State Senate District 21 and Ohio State House District 22 will appear. (Republican candidates are uncontested so there will be no debate for these primaries.) The forum will be live-streamed at: https://youtu.be/Oppa1UPkmLE   It will be video-recorded and may be viewed through the League’s website lwvgreatercleveland.org.

July 21 and 28     4-5pm      Art at the Orchard
Noble Library and Delmore Community Orchard are partnering to host afternoon storytime and art events for kids at the Orchard, 3822 Delmore Road (near the Rainbow Veterinary Clinic at Noble and Delmore).  Grab the kids and enjoy the orchard!

August 2    7pm   Noble Neighbors Meeting
This is another BYO lawn chair and water bottle outdoor meeting. Join us at Delmore Community Orchard, 3822 Delmore Road for our August Noble Neighbors meeting. We'll hear about ongoing projects, plan for upcoming events and, of course, we'll have Speed Dating!  (Speed Dating is where anyone can pitch an idea to the group in 60 seconds or less). We'll learn a bit about this Orchard project, too.

August 6 - September 24       Saturdays  10am - Noon        Noble Gardeners' Market
Come to the corner of Noble and Roanoke (one block north of Monticello) for our 5th season of Noble Gardeners' Market. Neighbors who grow fruit, veggies and flowers in their own yard or in community gardens sell their abundance to neighbors. Sellers may join us for the whole 8 week season or just a few Saturdays. Buyers have learned to come early to get the best produce from the sellers who regularly sell out early. This year we'll have a new feature, "How Do You Do That?"  - a series of mini-demonstrations about gardening and other "green" topics. This is a most pleasant way to spend your Saturday mornings!  Go to   https://www.nobleneighbors.com/2022-noble-gardeners-market.html  for more info.

August 21 and 22       6-7pm       Chalk Cheers
School principals are telling me they are delighted that we plan to continue our new tradition! We gather at our schools the evening before the first day of school to draw chalk art drawings and write chalk notes of encouragement to our students as they begin a new school year. Do join neighbors, student families and school staff to create a delightful display on the sidewalks in front of the schools' main entrances. We'll meet on Sunday, August 21 at Caledonia School and on Monday, August 22 at Monticello Middle, Noble Elementary and Oxford Elementary schools - yes, simultaneously. We'll need a large crew that day since we'll be divided between the three sites. We'll provide the chalk. Bring a water bottle for yourself.

It is good to live in the Noble neighborhood!

Next Noble Neighbors meeting:

First Tuesday of each month, 7pm, usually.  We rotate where we meet between the public meeting places in the neighborhood.
We've met outdoors all summer and will wait to schedule an indoor meeting when the COVID rates drop.

​-Thank you for the beautiful oases in the middle of what would otherwise likely be overlooked or neglected spaces! I always enjoy stopping to see the differing new blooms when walking my dog (who enjoys sniffing the flowers)
​-Thank you to those who contributed to this project. I am a gardener and find the efforts of those who continue to beautify our landscape a step toward creating a sense of community. When we all experience and appreciate the gardens, we are together.

I no longer live in the area. I will miss the neighborhood (was in my home for 30 years) but alas it's time. You have done an incredible  job. I loved being part of the group and appreciated all the hard work everyone put into the many various activities. Keep up the good work.  Good Luck!
