Here are the top three stories today in Avon-Avon Lake:

  1. In an effort to make it convenient for all Avon Lake residents to attend the Facilities Community Forum, which will take place on November 10, the Avon Lake High School Key Club (along with several adults) will be offering babysitting services during the Forum. There will be one room for quiet movies and one room for play. They will also have greeters in the Commons to check the kids in and walk them down to the room. Doors open at 6 p.m. The Forum starts at 6:30 p.m. Hope to see you there! (Avon Lake City Schools via Facebook)
