INTRO Insider: November 2025 by introcleveland

hello resident,

As the crisp autumn air settles over Cleveland and the last of the fall leaves dance along the sidewalks, we find ourselves reflecting on what we’re most , our incredible residents. Your energy, kindness, and community spirit make INTRO truly feel like home.

We’re still smiling from our unforgettable Halloween celebration at TRUSS. Thank you to everyone who joined in the fun and made it such a spooktacular success! The laughter, creativity, and costumes reminded us

Looking ahead, we’re already counting down the days until the annual Kandy Kane Ball on December 19th — a sparkling evening full of holiday cheer, music, and festive memories you won’t want to miss.

As we move deeper into this season of gratitude, we’ll leave you with a few

“Gratitude turns what we have into enough.” – Aesop “Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go.” – Unknown

From all of us at INTRO, thank you for being part of our family. Here’s to cozy nights, warm hearts, and a wonderful November ahead.

HimynameisBABKA!Iamnamedafterthebread,babka--lookitup!

I enjoy wet cat food, looking down upon my kingdom (the plaza), and going into cabinetswhenmyparentsaren'tlooking.Myjobistosupervisepeopleinthebathroom so that they don't fall into the toilet or drown in the shower. I am often found lying on the bathmats, perfectly in the way. I also love sharpening my killer claws on my mom’s blanket basket or on the nice accent chairs, but I'm not sure why that seems to be a problem. I am often found wasting away the days on the barstool. At night, I adore takingupthewholebedorknockingoverwateronmydadwhileheissleeping!!

Fun fact: I HATE Broadway, and will bite my dad, or whoever, that sings show tunes loudly.
