Come join us on Thursday, May 3rd, starting at 6:30 (for registration). Mr Park will begin at 7pm. The event will be at the Crown Plaza on City Line Avenue (just off the Schuylkill Expressway). Plenty of free parking. A Cash Bar, hor 'dourves, and an abundance of Buckeye Spirit.

In addition to the speaker, we also hold a Silent Auction, with the proceeds going to our scholarship fund. Now is the time for our members to start thinking about what they could contribute as an auction item.

In the past, people have offered up such items as signed photos of Buckeye Legends, Phillies Game Tickets, Box seats to a Phillies game, a week at a time share, having your tax returns done, just to name a few.

If you have something, large or small, that you would like to offer, we’d like to hear about it. Remember all proceeds go to our Scholarship Fund.

We thank those of you that have already contributed.

Volunteers Needed for the Scholarship Committee

It is that time of year when we award two scholarships to students from the Philadelphia area attending Ohio State. The time commitment is minimal (about 2 - 3 hours) but the personal satisfaction is exception. It involves reviewing applications from accepted students and ranking them...There is no pre-work you have to complete. The meeting will be held in mid-February when the committee gets together and jointly determines the scholarship winners..Please contact Peter Guth, Scholarship Chairman, at pwguth@comcast.net if you are interested.
