MANTUA " The Downtown Mantua Revitalization Committee is hoping residents will treat their mothers to a unique gift this Mother's Day.
As family members contemplate gifts, the committee would like them to give Mom some time to reflect with images of yesteryear.
Committee secretary Becky Newell said residents are raving about "Mantua " Past and Present," a DVD show with more than 100 photos of the village from the early 1900s through 2007.
Newell said community members are excited about the downtown revitalization project and are encouraging others to offer their support.
"Want to really make Mom's day? Spend an afternoon together watching the DVD and talking about your shared past," she said.
The historic presentation is set to the music of guitarists Steve Vanderink of Hiram and Brian Henke of Cleveland.
The DVD is available for a $20 contribution to the Downtown Mantua Revitalization Committee. To place your order contact Newell at 216-990-5086.
The Downtown Mantua Revitalization Committee was incorporated in April 2007 as a non-profit corporation and is managed by a volunteer slate of officers with a 12-member volunteer board of directors overseeing activities.
