Wear Your Bike Helmet To Work Or School Day



Help us prevent head injuries. Last year, 51,000 injuries were prevented by wearing a bike helmet. On Wednesday September 21st, join the American Academy of Pediatrics and Governor Kasich in a statewide effort to promote helmet safety. Wear your bike helmet to work or school and tell everyone why!

Help your kids remember to wear their helmets. It’s all about saving lives.

Call for Artists and Volunteers


The SPCA House and Garden Tour Committee is seeking artists to participate in our garden and arts tour to be held on Saturday, August 27. Although we do want artists who fit into specific themes in each of the eight gardens on our tour, we also welcome artists who want to put up booths or play music along the tour route. If you know any artists, please send their contact information (or invite them to contact) Jeanne Tranter, 581.0979 or jtranter@trantercommunications.com. The attached postcard provides more information on the event.

We also will need a lot of volunteers from the neighborhood to pull off this fun and unique event. We could use your creativity and your time. (We promise not to hog it; there will be plenty of time for you to tour the gardens yourself!) We will be sending a list of volunteer positions shortly — but feel free to contact Jeanne before then if you want to be a part of this first-of-its-kind Schumacher celebration.

Let’s showcase the artistry of Schumacher Place!



Calling all Schumacher Place neighbors with a flair for or love of the arts! We are celebrating the artistry of Schumacher Place at this year’s house and garden tour through a whole new approach: A garden and art tour, “Romancing the Neighborhood: Exploring Art, Expressing Love.” We need people, artists and gardens. First, we need a committee big enough to pull off what we think can be the best, most creative garden tour in our city.  And we need five gardens, in relatively close proximity to each other, to be on the tour. If you are proud of your garden, please show it off! (It would be helpful, but not necessary, if you also had a garage or covered porch to showcase some art in the event of rain.)
This is big: We even applied for a grant from the Greater Columbus Arts Council to help us pull it off. Don’t miss out on the fun of working together on this first-of-its-kind event. Join us for the initial planning meeting on Friday, April 22nd (the day after the social) at Hal’s and Jeanne’s house, 345 Forest Street (southeast corner of Ebner and Forest).

Please RSVP to me (Jeanne Tranter), and let me know if you can join us at this first meeting — or are otherwise interested in being a part of the art of Schumacher Place.

Thank you!
