Program shines a light on Cleveland history and Superman

Learn about “Truth, Justice and the Cleveland Way” as guest speaker Dennis Sutcliffe addresses the legend of Superman on Thursday, May 19.

The Bay Village Historical Society invites the community to join their members for an informal potluck dinner and an evening of Cleveland history.

Sutcliffe will talk about Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster, two kids from Glenville High School who created the world’s most enduring superhero. Meet the original Superman and learn how he was influenced by the boys’ lives in Cleveland.

Social hour begins at 6 p.m. in the Bay Village Community house, followed by the potluck dinner and 7 p.m. program. The society provides the main dish, which is a cookout with hamburgers and brats. Guests with a last name beginning with A to L are asked to bring an appetizer or dessert for 10 to share. Guests with a last name beginning with M to Z are asked to bring a side dish. Everyone should bring their own place setting.

Admission is free. Please RSVP to Cathy Flament at 440-835-4472 or Doug Gertz at 440-554-6355.
