It’s time for our annual raffle of The Presidents Club football tickets! The OSU Alumni Club of Franklin County is making all of our seats available again this year in our raffle. All money raised goes directly to our Scholarship fund to help a future Buckeye.
(The drawing for the first 6 games was on Friday Aug. 24 and for the final game was November 16th)
For questions contact Jerry Vance, jerry.vance@yahoo.com or 614-316-0852.
Join us for one of our Community Service days as we volunteer at the Mid-Ohio Food Bank on Saturday, Oct. 27. (No Buckeye Football that week!) We will be assisting shoppers in the pantry from 11 am to 1:30 pm, so you would need to arrive by 10:45 am to get instructions. The pantry is located at 3960 Brookham Drive, in Grove City. A map with details and a training video will be sent to you when you RSVP to help.
To sign up, please call or email our Community Service Chair, Ron Kenat, at 614-420-2736 or abelcom123@yahoo.com. Thank you for helping us “Pay it Forward” in true Buckeye Spirit!
Don’t forget to save your leftover Halloween candy!! The Franklin County OSU Alumni Club will be putting together goodie bags again this year for students. Candy, gum, pencils, any little trinkets you think a college kid would appreciate to help stay awake while studying for fall semester exams — bring it to us!
We will collect items at our next two meetings, Weds, Oct. 10 and Nov. 14, or you can contact us to arrange a drop off or pick up. We will schedule a packing night to put the bags together in mid-November.
Then we will schedule a night in early December just before exams to deliver them to the dorm. This has to be arranged with the resident advisor for that hall, so we do not have an exact date yet.
You are welcome to participate in any of the three steps – gathering supplies, packing the bags, or delivering. Just send us an email or call to let us know what you can do.

Join us for an old favorite – Wine Tasting at the Wine Bistro on Lane Avenue: Wednesday, October 3rd, from 6:30 to 8 pm. There is limited seating available at this Upper Arlington location, so get your reservation in early! It’s a great way to celebrate with Buckeye friends.
Parking is available around the Wine Bistro, both behind the building as well as across the street in the Lane Ave. Shopping Center. Along with the various wine samples, the chef will provide an excellent meal.
Save the date! Our Annual Tailgate party will be Saturday, September 22 for the Tulane game. If you already know that you have your own tickets to this game, and/or you just want to join us for the tailgate, its only $10/person — we provide all the food and beverages!
