The Strongsville City Club Breakfast on the Covered Bridge has been a hit with all who attend and come back year after year. Where else can you spend a beautiful fall morning in the Cleveland Metroparks, and be served a delicious breakfast by a group of volunteers ready to respond to your requests? You not only enjoy a great breakfast, but at the same time you are donating to the betterment of our community.
The Strongsville City Club Breakfast on the Covered Bridge is the major fundraising event for the Strongsville City Club. The club has been active in the city since 1968 and was organized for the purpose of promoting civic interest. Over the years, the City Club has supported numerous projects, and is the very proud sponsor of those extraordinary athletes involved in the year-round competitive Special Olympics Program. The Strongsville City Club was recognized this past year as the Best Supporting Organization of the Special Olympics in the State of Ohio.
