Salvation Army, Family Health Services of Erie County, Serving Our Seniors, Firelands Regional Medical Center, Firelands Symphony Orchestra

Unfortunately work and family life has taken time away from updating the blog on a more regular basis. (I usually updated at night, with newborn twins I sleep when I can!!!) I hope to be able to update more frequently once things settle down on both fronts. I apologize to our speakers who I normally write about after their visit to our club. At the very least I can get a quick mention out to support their causes. On August 4th Capt Mark Larrick from the Salvation Army discussed the Salvation Army Learning Zone. On August 11th , Wilson Forney CEO of the Family Health services of Erie County discussed their programs. On August 18th, Sue Daugherty from Serving our Seniors and Joe Bores from Perkins High School discussed the intergenerational program our club supported recently. On September 1st Mary Stacy from the Firelands Regional Medical Center discussed Sleep Apnea, its dangers and how it can be treated. On September 8th, our very own Pat Scheid was our speaker and discussed bible translations and the ongoing effort to convert the bible into as many written languages as possible. Our most recent speaker, Jamie Steinemann was our guest on September 15th to discuss the upcoming season of the Firelands Symphony Orchestra. The list is much longer than I anticipated. Once again I hope to be able to update more frequently in the near future. Next week John Lippus from the Sandusky Main Street Association will be our speaker. Feel free to contact us and our club would be happy to direct you to one of the above organizations or speakers for more information.

Pancake Breakfast 2009

Updates have been few and far between. I will be hopefully posting updates on a more regular basis with our upcoming meetings. Just a few quick notes in the mean time. Our annual Pancake breakfast is at Sandusky High on Sunday October 4th. If you need tickets please contact us. Our members will be out selling tickets and you can also purchase them at the door. Tickets are $5 each this year. Each ticket will also admit 1 child under 12 for free. For a family of 5 with 3 kids under 12 the meal would be $15. I hope everyone can make it for a great meal!!!!

Lake Erie Crushers

Zach Krantz and Randy Newell were our speakers today from the Lake Erie Crushers baseball team in Avon Ohio. The Lake Erie Crushers are members of the Frontier Baseball league an independent league of 12 teams. The league has an age limit of 27 unlike other independent leagues. Many of the players have minor league experience and are trying to get back with affiliated minor league team. The tickets prices are inexpensive and the team offers a fan friendly environment. Not to mention the team is doing well unlike the Major league team to the East :). Many of our members had great questions for Zach and Randy and I think I can safely say we would invite them back anytime to be our guests.
