See you at the Water Zone!

Monday, May 26 at 10:00 a.m., the Joint Veterans Council of Lakewood and Rocky River will hold a Memorial Day Ceremony at Lakewood Park Cemetery, 22025 Detroit Rd., Rocky River, to honor our fallen heroes.  The Rocky River High School Marching Band, several local scout troops and community representatives will also participate in the morning's tribute. 

For the first time this year, we will have a ceramic poppy field set up in the cemetery during the ceremony.  The poppy flower has become a national symbol of remembrance dating back to WWI.  The ceramic poppies were handcrafted by our very own Rocky River Senior Center Ceramics Class.  A ribbon and name tag have been placed on each poppy representing a Rocky River fallen soldier. 

We look forward to this year's Memorial Day events and programs and encourage all residents to take time to be a part of this important remembrance of our fallen men and women who have defended our freedoms.  There is ample parking across from the cemetery at the Rocky River Presbyterian Church. Seating will be available on a first come, first served basis. 

Sunday, May 25 at Rocky River Park, 20250 Beach Cliff Blvd., beginning at 7:00 p.m., the Rocky River High School Jazz Band will be performing.  Bring a lawn chair and come enjoy the kick-off of the Summer Concert Series. 

Saturday, May 24 at Lakewood Park Cemetery, 22025 Detroit Rd, Rocky River, beginning at 8:30 a.m., community members are encouraged to join members of the Joint Veterans Council of Lakewood and Rocky River and other volunteers in placing more than 4,000 American flags on the graves of veterans who have been laid to rest at the cemetery.

Friday, May 23 at the Rocky River Senior Center beginning at 1:30 p.m. Join us at the Senior Center for a Patriotic Americana-themed concert featuring award-winning arranger / keyboardist, Marge Adler along with vocalists, Laura Lindauer and John Webb.  $5 for residents and $6 for non-residents.
