Your enthusiastic and generous support over the past 50+ years for the OSU Alumni Club of Greater Cleveland’s Football Appreciation Banquet and the scholarship fund it benefits is much appreciated. This event has helped our club send the best and brightest from Northeast Ohio off to help “make Ohio State great.” We’ve made a difference in the lives of many students.

It is with sadness that we announce that the 57th Football Appreciation Banquet, scheduled for November 25, 2008, will be the last. Policy changes at the OSU Alumni Association and the OSU Athletic Department, coupled with the upcoming shift in the football schedule and increasing scrutiny from the NCAA, mean that our major scholarship fundraising event cannot continue in its current format.

The events committee is working hard on developing a new fundraising event where Northeast Ohio Buckeyes can show their pride and spirit and “pay it forward” to the next generation of Buckeyes. In the meantime, we’re asking you to help make this final football banquet and silent auction a rousing success by making your reservations now.

Let’s go out with a big Buckeye bang!

Please join us at the Treehouse in Tremont (820 College Ave.) for happy hour from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, August 15. We’ll be hoping for good weather so we can chill on the patio.

Coach Tressel will be signing copies of his book The Winners Manual: For the Game of Life on Thursday, July 17, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Borders in Westlake. They will start distributing tickets for a place in line at 9 a.m. that day. You must have a ticket to be able to get your book signed, and Coach Tressel will be signing ONLY the new book, with a limit of three per person — please leave your other stuff at home. They are expecting a huge turnout, so pick up your tickets early.
