*R=RESERVE WHEN ASKED!
There are times when we have to call ahead for a table; we require your help! When people don’t call but show up, those who have called are sometimes left without seats. So, take a second to call Steve & Arron if you think might come, or send a quick email to bears@clevelandbears.org, otherwise there may not be enough room for you with the group! (A couple extra seats is better than too few. Thanks!)

Hosts Wanted!
We’re always looking for people who want to host a potluck or get together. If you’re willing and have space, please email bears@clevelandbears.org !

Cleveland Bears now has a wide selection of club items you can order from Café Press! http://cafepress.com/clevelandbears http://cafepress.com/clevelandbears2 http://cafepress.com/clevelandbears3 T-shirst, shorts, hats, teddy bears, stickers, pins and more are available for order at this address: cafepress.com/clevelandbears, and available in a few colors and full range of sizes, including for large guys. Check it out, and wear one to PRIDE or Cedar Point. (Note: The club does not make any profit off these items, they’ve just been made available for those interested.)

Since some of our events are held at private homes, we ask that prospective members attend one of our public meetings or activities before inviting them into our homes. While we are trying to be a friendly and open organization, we hope that you understand the necessity for these precautions and hope to see you at one of our future public activities.

Joining is as simple as attending one of our public functions. There are no dues. The club is supported by the voluntary donations of its members. These funds are used to pay for newsletter and PO Box expenses.
