Labor Day is pasted and we move on from summer with thoughts now focus on the fall season. Labor Day marks the end of summer just a few weeks away fall is coming. This as we know happens every year. But what you might not know unless you went to Shaw or live in East Cleveland is that every year since approximately 1992 the Shaw High Alumni have put together an All Class Reunion Weekend. I would say with much success it has grown. As one might think with each class that graduates from Shaw adds to the ranks. I have watched this event as it has grown, but this year I am just floored by the sure volume of people. Many times I have been to the picnics given on the last day that Sunday in the park event bring many former students as well as old residents of the community looking to see if they’ll find an old friend or an old classmate. And as an after affect there is always an after-party given at the local bars all whom has some connection to Shaw either as students or parents of students. In the past there was four that opened their doors this spread the crowd out around the city. This year with the loss of the room to fire, Tuckers and the Park Avenue took up the slack. As people poured onto Euclid and Taylor EC Police came to direct traffic and the party began. Many Cities would fear such a gathering of people. But not here, If want to know what civic pride is come to East Cleveland On Labor Day weekend and You will witness civic pride at its best.
