This inspiring nonprofit was looking for a solution to refurnish their new office under a tight budget, yet they still wanted to create a warm and inviting environment for their employees and guests. AIS and OMNIA Partners, Nonprofit were able to provide them with the opportunity to purchase brand new furniture that offered substantial savings and allowed for them to stay in budget. OMNIA Partners, Nonprofit harnesses the power of cooperative purchasing to lower costs & simplify procurement decisions. For a nonprofit, like PACE, saving time and money is crucial to continued success and growth, and we are excited to continue our partnership with AIS to make it happen! Discover how this partnership turned a challenge into a savings triumph: https://hubs.la/Q02mhjjq0

*** The opinions and remarks expressed in this post are solely mine and do not reflect the opinions, principles, or conduct of my employer or the organization that I am affiliated with. *** Last September, members of the Friends of Cudell Commons Park group were granted a temporary restraining order preventing Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) from proceeding with the construction of a new Marion-Seltzer Elementary school on what is now Cudell Commons Park. CMSD’s plans would result in the loss of 44% of the Park’s greenspace, the basketball courts in the northeastern corner of the park, and the destruction of 40 mature trees.   After hearing two days of testimony including closing arguments regarding our request for a preliminary injunction, Judge Nancy Russo recused herself from the case, citing a conflict of interest. The case was reassigned to Judge Ashley Kilbane who recently ruled against the preliminary injunction and vacated the TRO, saying in part, "Plaintiffs claims of harm only discuss the removal of trees, and mature trees; but they do not address how they would still be irreparably harmed after new trees are planted and grow into mature trees." This type of illogical reasoning is exactly why Cleveland continues to lose its tree canopy at an alarming rate.    The Friends of Cudell Commons Park group is planning a march from Cudell Park to the next CMSD School Board Meeting on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, where we will gather to peacefully protest before the meeting and participate in the Board’s public comment portion, asking the CEO of CMSD Dr. Warren Morgan, the School Board, and Mayor Justin Bibb to come up with a plan for a new school that doesn’t require destroying the Cudell neighborhood’s only park.    We will be leaving the Park at 5pm to make the short approximately 2 mile walk to Waverly Elementary school on W. 57th Street.
