May's Cafe Connections proved to be another wonderful time of networking and information! Many thanks to Krista Tokarz, manager of Cuyahoga County Public Library's brand-new Parma Heights branch, for hosting at the beautiful facility. Guests toured the building and learned about the library's many services. We also extend our gratitude to Brandon Bunyak, chamber board member and Small Business Specialist at U.S. Bank, for sponsoring the event and for educating us on the lending and banking solutions they offer.

In the wake of the heartbreaking loss of a Valley Forge student, many parents in our community felt the same thing — we needed to do something.


These “You Matter” yard signs were created as a simple but powerful reminder that every person deserves to feel seen, valued, and supported. As May is Mental Health Awareness Month, we hope to fill our Tri-City community—Parma, Parma Heights, and Seven Hills—with this message and create visible reminders throughout our neighborhoods that no one is alone.


These signs are for anyone and everyone to display—parents, families, neighbors, local businesses, schools, and community members who want to stand together in support of mental health awareness and kindness.


This is more than a sign — it’s a community statement. It’s people coming together to say: we care, we notice, and you matter.


Proceeds from these signs will go directly back into our schools to support student safety initiatives and help strengthen the environments where our kids learn and grow every day.


We would love for the entire Tri-City community to stand with us, place a sign in your yard, and help spread awareness, compassion, and connection—one street at a time.
