Friends of The Gathering Place

Allow us to introduce ourselves: we are the  Friends of The Gathering Place, a dues paying organization, founded in September, 2001 to support the mission of The Gathering Place. Our goal is to spread awareness of The Gathering Place throughout the community.  In addition, Friends assists at many programs and events, raising funds through the Race for the Place and through the sale of beautiful notecards with art created by students at the Cleveland Institute of Art.  Friends is proud to have presented more than $25,000 to The Gathering Place and boasts more than 435 members as they approach their 4th anniversary.

We invite all of you to join Friends of The Gathering Place and to participate in the interesting and informative programs presented throughout the year.  If you are interested in becoming a Friend, please send a check for $25.00 to Friends of The Gathering Place, 23300 Commerce Park, Cleveland, Ohio 44122. If you are interested in helping with programming and/or serving on the Board of the Friends, please contact one of our co-chairs, Linda Barnett at 216-292-2966 or Karen Wine at 216-464-0240.
