    "I really enjoyed the program, and once I met everyone in the cohort, it made attending other Club events easier. I always saw familiar faces when I otherwise would have been overwhelmed by attending my first event and not knowing anyone. The kick-off brunch was so much fun. We played a dozen ice breaker games to ensure we got to know everyone and learned about our common interests. You could hear our laughter from down the hall. The program is excellent and Melinda, the program manager, is awesome. I loved the Facebook group chat because it gave us a closer sense of community and allowed us to keep in touch throughout the four months so we could organize last minute meetups. I can't stop raving to my friends and family how awesome this entire club is!" - Katriina Floderus, Cohort Two

    Goodreads Summary: 

    Nominee for Best Historical Fiction (2021)

    An emotional, rousing novel inspired by the incredible true story of two giraffes who made headlines and won the hearts of Depression-era America.

    “Few true friends have I known and two were giraffes…”

    Woodrow Wilson Nickel, age 105, feels his life ebbing away. But when he learns giraffes are going extinct, he finds himself recalling the unforgettable experience he cannot take to his grave.

    It’s 1938. The Great Depression lingers. Hitler is threatening Europe, and world-weary Americans long for wonder. They find it in two giraffes who miraculously survive a hurricane while crossing the Atlantic. What follows is a twelve-day road trip in a custom truck to deliver Southern California’s first giraffes to the San Diego Zoo. Behind the wheel is the young Dust Bowl rowdy Woodrow. Inspired by true events, the tale weaves real-life figures with fictional ones, including the world’s first female zoo director, a crusty old man with a past, a young female photographer with a secret, and assorted reprobates as spotty as the giraffes.

    Part adventure, part historical saga, and part coming-of-age love story, West with Giraffes explores what it means to be changed by the grace of animals, the kindness of strangers, the passing of time, and a story told before it’s too late.

    Protecting wildlife from immediate threats resulting from unsustainable human activity, including human-wildlife conflict, illegal wildlife trade, and habitat loss. Strategic and collaborative efforts are needed at every level to protect wildlife and habitats from exploitation and illegal activity.

    Building conservation capacity locally and regionally to strengthen the knowledge, skills, tools, competencies and abilities of individuals and communities (through training, education, awareness-building, and empowerment) - improving their ability to effectively carry out conservation activities.

    Promoting conservation science through the study of biodiversity, conservation, wildlife and human ecology, and examining the relationships between them. Investigations embrace the natural, physical, social, economic and political sciences and generate information needed for effective and measurable conservation impacts."

    Looking for a way to let off some steam this summer? Join one of the Cleveland Professional Twenty-Thirty Club's volleyball teams! Each summer the 20/30 Club partners with Mulberry's for a session of 6 vs. 6 co-ed volleyball games. 

    The level of play is casual/recreational and is self-officiated. It's a nice way to make new friends and get some exercise on a Monday night! The league will start on May 6, 2024 and runs for 7 weeks, plus 1-2 weeks of playoffs (this may include holidays but is subject to change). Schedules are determined at the discretion of the volleyball league. We will inform the team with as much notice as possible, however, game times can be determined with one to two days' notice. Start times for the games could be 6:00PM, 7:00PM, 8:00PM, 9:00PM, or 10:00PM.

    All games will be at:

    Mulberry's

    2316 Mulberry Ave.

    Cleveland, OH

    Currently registration is open to professional members only.

    Important notes:

    If you register for the league, you are expected to attend; if you cannot, you must give 24 hours notice if you are unable to make a game so we have adequate time to find another professional member to substitute. Substitute players will be determined by a team captain.

    Ref fees are included in the cost of your registration and a committee or board member will pay the ref each week.

    We will have multiple teams, so you are able to request up to 2 teammates. Requests to NOT be someone's teammate will be ignored. If you want to register a full team, please make your own arrangements through Mulberry's directly. Also, please do not sign up for a team through the 20/30 club if you are already planning to play on another team in this volleyball league.

    Have fun! Please be respectful of other teammates and opponents, as many players in this league have little to no volleyball experience. This is considered a fun league and for those interested in learning the basics of organized volleyball. There are refs so backyard rules do not apply.

    Goodreads Summary: 

    Goodreads Choice Award Winner for Best Fiction (2017)

    Everyone in Shaker Heights was talking about it that summer: how Isabelle, the last of the Richardson children, had finally gone around the bend and burned the house down.

    In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is meticulously planned – from the layout of the winding roads, to the colours of the houses, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules.

    Enter Mia Warren – an enigmatic artist and single mother – who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenage daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than just tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the mother–daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past, and a disregard for the rules that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community.

    When old family friends attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby, a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town – and puts Mia and Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives, Elena is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia's past. But her obsession will come at an unexpected and devastating cost . . .
