That is, of course, if they ever arrive. Mother Nature forgot to change the seasons – or the Ground Hog erred in his prediction. Either way, we need a little relief. What this means for you is that we have a little more time to plan for some of our major events we have coming for you this year. As always, we have Solon Home Days, Fireworks on the 4th, (except this year we’ve added the Solon Philharmonic Orchestra!), Summer Camps, Golf Outings, Arts Festivals, etc. These events help cap off our beautiful summer in the park and around town which can be so relaxing and enjoyable. This is now my 33rd year serving Solon in the Recreation Department, and each one brings new joys and challenges. I think I speak for most in these departments when I say that it is a pleasure to serve in Solon and we look forward every day to new opportunities. Please come out and enjoy the sunshine with us and we’ll make every attempt to make your spring and summer memorable. Sincerely, Donald W. Holub Director of Recreation www.solonohio.org 2 Special Events in Solon The 5th Annual Solon Community Indoor Triathlon KIWANIS CLUB OF SOLON PANCAKE BREAKFAST The Kiwanis Club of Solon will be hosting its Annual Spring Pancake Breakfast at the Solon Community Center.

The length of the course is nine weeks and are scheduled for Tuesday evenings 6:30-9:30 pm. All classes (exclusive of Medical Examiner’s Office) will be held in Solon.

Applicants are subject to a background check and may be denied acceptance into the academy based upon those checks. There is no fee to attend.

The purpose of the academy is to increase citizen awareness of the day-to-day operation of the SPD by educating them on topics relative to the role of a police officer in the City. The academy is not intended to make citizens into police officers, but to allow citizens to learn more about police operations. During the sessions students will be presented with information on various aspects of police work as it relates to our community. At the end of the course, graduates will be permitted to schedule a ride along with a patrol officer for one evening. Graduates of the Citizens Police Academy will be eligible for any future police related volunteer opportunities.
