Our community service project this fall is in support of the Columbus chapter of Blue Star Military Mothers of America, an organization that supports our service men and women who are currently stationed overseas.  The local chapter, known as Buckeye Military Moms, packs and ships care packages of the items most requested by our soldiers and sailors.

     Our “Picnic with the Police” event on September 20
     The “Wine Bistro Dinner” event on October 18

Come help us Serve Those Who Serve!  On Wednesday, Sept. 20, our alumni club will show appreciation for the OSU Police Dept. by serving lunch for all the officers as well as their administrative staff. This event was extremely popular last year and the police department is grateful to have us back again.

We’ll be grilling and serving a “Tailgate” style lunch, so we need a few folks to help set it up, and a few to clean up after. Join us for this great opportunity to give back to those who serve and protect the students and staff of our great campus! 

We’ll have two shifts: we need some people to help set-up and serve from 12:30 to 3 pm, and some people to serve then help clean up from 3 to 5:00 pm. 

Sign up to participate by emailing us at (OSUAlumniFranklinCounty@yahoo.com) with your name, phone # and email address, and which shift you’re available for. 

Come help us say “Thank You!” to these hard-working individuals!
