Aldersgate United Methodist Church

In 1885, North Randall Church, a small church at Warrensville Center Road and Emery Road was organized. During the next 40 years, despite some difficult times the church increased in membership. In 1924, the congregation of the North Randall Church joined the Methodist Episcopal faith. With the help of lay members and dedicated pastors, the church continued to grow through the Depression years and World War II. In 1952, the congregation merged with Elsmere-Lee Methodist Church and was renamed Aldersgate Methodist Church in honor of the street in London on which John Wesley had his “heart warming” experience. The congregation purchased five acres of land on Eastwood Lane, which is the site of the present building. The building was completed and dedicated 1957. The East Educational Wing – Van Horn Hall, was opened two years later in 1959. In 1994, the educational wing was dedicated to Bishop James S. Thomas, then Bishop of the East Ohio Conference. Under several pastorates, Aldersgate became a presence in the Warrensville Heights neighborhood, reaching out to the community, providing a variety of ministries, and providing opportunities for community groups to meet. Our members share their gifts and talents beyond the local church, serving on boards and committees at the district, jurisdiction, and general church […]

Village of North Randall

Since it’s establishment as a Village in 1908, North Randall has had a rich and enduring history through many generations of families and business. This industry driven village is ideally located by major highways I-480, I-271, and U.S. 422 just minutes from the heart of downtown Cleveland and Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. North Randall shares its boundaries with Warrensville Heights and Bedford Heights. Throughout the Village of North Randall’s history, its pro business government and location has made it a strategic choice for business. Since 1925 it has been the home of Thistledown Racetrack and The Ohio Derby. In 2013 owners Rock Ohio Caesars invested over 89 million dollars renovating the facility, now Thistledown Racino, securing the North Randall location. PowerSport Institute recently acquired a 15 acre campus in North Randall making it the largest motorcycle and powersport training campus in the U.S. North Randall was once home to one of the largest shopping and commercial complexes in the country. Recently IRG, a major industrial park developer, acquired most of the former shopping center. “We’re on a fast track for business!” is the message from Mayor David Smith, “Join us at the best location in Northeast Ohio.”

Newport Investment Advisors

Prices of stocks, bonds, mutual funds and variable annuities constantly rise and fall and market volatility has increased in recent years. Our investment management approach does not attempt to be predictive of market direction but instead is able to identify, in the early stages, changes in market direction. During periods of price decline all client accounts are positioned in safe, interest-bearing cash equivalents to avoid potential losses of capital. The importance of avoiding major price declines becomes especially clear during years such as 1987, when severe losses forced many investors to reevaluate their investment strategies. Capital preservation, reduced risk and enhanced return are the important benefits of our approach that allows participation in rising markets through superior performing mutual funds while avoiding major declines. Because Newport carefully monitors client positions our clients have enjoyed increased “peace of mind” as well as the economic advantages of our active investment management approach. Superior performing mutual funds have produced above average annual returns over recent times; yet surprisingly few investors have achieved these results. Why ? …. because prices of bonds and stocks fluctuate each day and sometimes wildly. Many investors simply don’t have the courage to continue to hold volatile mutual funds […]

Effective Leadership Academy

The inspiration for The Effective Leadership Academy (ELA) began when Founder and Executive Director Flo Brett, recognized the struggle of newly promoted corporate professionals who were expected to assume leadership positions, but lacked the necessary required traits. Brett, a former nurse and executive training program manager, developed and led an intensive adult leadership-training program with outstanding results. Through her own personal experiences with her local educational community, Brett quickly identified a significant gap in student leadership training within the middle school and secondary school environment. Taking lessons learned and successes from her corporate curricula, Brett adapted it to serve the needs of students in grades 5-12, college students and educators to ensure they receive essential life skills during their most formative years. The concept of training young people, and those who impact the lives of young people with essential life skills led to the creation of ELA in 2008.
