MEMBERSHIP WELCOME EVENT JUNE 19

We need to welcome new members to our club! Social opportunities were so limited last year, that we have not met those of you who have recently joined us. If you would like to meet some members of the club, plan to join us on Saturday, June 19 from 4 to 6 pm at a small gathering (hopefully outdoors if the weather cooperates!) in Powell.

We will have a variety of sandwiches, snacks and beverages, tailgate style!  If you want to dress up in your Buckeye gear like you’re going to the Stadium, that is totally acceptable!  Bring a lawn chair / tailgate chair if the weather is nice, so we can relax and talk and have a little fun in the sun. 

If you have joined our club within the past year, and have not yet had a chance to join us for an event or meet anyone, then we really want to encourage you to join us for this event. Come meet our leadership team, ask questions about the club, and see how much fun we are!  There is no cost to attend, simply RSVP to OSUAlumniFranklinCounty@yahoo.com!  Tell us your name, phone number, and how many people are coming. This is a family-friendly event, so feel free to bring yours!  We will send you a map / directions when we reply to confirm. Questions?  Call Leyla at 614-893-0559. 

Eddie George returns to Ohio as Head Coach of Tennessee State Univ

The Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio is also home to the Black College Hall of Fame, and is proud to host the Black College Football Hall of Fame Classic Game between Grambling St. University and Tennessee St. University.  The game will take place on Sunday, September 5th at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.  This will be the first game for Heisman Trophy-winning Buckeye Eddie George as Head Coach of the Tennessee State University Tigers.

This presents a unique opportunity for Buckeye Alums to welcome Coach George back to Ohio and pack Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.

It would be great to fill the stadium with a strong Buckeye contingent!
