chapter focus — cleveland Get to know the Cleveland Chapter! • Established: 2007 • Serving: 888 alumni live in zip codes 44000 through 44399 • Leadership Team: David Erlandson ’06, Ron Kuntz ’86, Larry Montgomery ’66, Matt ’10 and Genelle (Schedlbauer) Pretty ’10, Mark Riley ’84, Sami SanGregory ’12, and Ty ’00 and Jillianne (Hancock) Waardenburg ’00 • Fun Fact: Cleveland was originally spelled “Cleaveland” for city founder General Moses Cleaveland. The “a” was dropped in 1830 so the name could fit into a newspaper’s masthead. “Growing up in Cleveland, I know the city pretty well. It is cool to be able to share some of the local hot spots with fellow alumni who have moved into the area and even give them some recommendations for churches, schools, or even a fun restaurant to visit on a Friday night!” — Niall McMahon ’13 To get involved in an alumni chapter near you, visit cedarville.edu/alumni/chapters .
