August 2012 Providing essential services since 1978 • www.communitypartnershiponaging.org How To Contact Us From Our Director Main Office / South Euclid 216-291-3902 I really hope you like our new logo as much as I do! As you know, early this year, we changed our business name after adding Mayfield Heights to our service area, which triggered the need to make a number of other changes. I am very happy to finally be able to unveil some of them in this issue of our newsletter. Lyndhurst & Trip Office 440-473-5138 Mayfield Hts.

We’ll still include all the information you need every month but in a fresh, colorful and easierto-read format. At the top of the newsletter is our new logo, which represents many months of deliberation as we chose a symbol which reflects the roots our agency has in the community and the energy and vitality of those we serve. We also selected a tagline that succinctly states what we do: Providing essential services since 1978. The next step will be our Website redesign and update.
