OSU Alumni Club of Greater Cleveland

From Duane Smith, our local alumni band coordinator:

We got a last minute request last week for our alumni band to play at a 90th birthday party.

The family of Joe Russo held their birthday celebration at Walton Hills Lake (near Bedford) with about 50 in attendance. My contact came in from California & in her attempts to find a band had a suggestion from another family member in Columbus to have the OSU Alumni Band. TBDBITL in Columbus passed along my name & phone#.

Any way, that’s the short version.

On such short notice, I was still able to assemble a band of six along with our own ‘Brutus.’ In return for our performance, a donation of $400 was made to our Scholarship Fund.

It’s nice to have fans that want to include us in the special events.

Media reports from Coach Tressel’s book signing at the Westlake Borders last night:

The Morning Journal

WKYC

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.

The deadline to enter the football ticket raffle is approaching quickly. Remember, the raffle is for the chance to PURCHASE at face value a pair of great seats for a Buckeye home game this fall. Raffle tickets are $1 each or six for $5, and there is no limit on the number of tickets purchased per person, but only one pair of game tickets per person. A drawing will be held on or about August 7 to determine the winners. The first name pulled has their choice of the seven home games. The second name drawn has their choice of the remaining six games, and so on. Winners will be notified by phone. All raffle tickets must be received by August 4.

Fox & Hound
8735 Day Drive
Parma

If you’re looking for a place to watch the game with legions of Buckeye faithful, this is the place. The Fox & Hound near Parmatown is throwing out the welcome mat for Buckeye fans — decorations, food and drink specials, a separate room, and, of course, a great game! If you don’t have tickets, join your fellow Buckeyes there.

Take I-480 to the Ridge Road exit, turn south on Ridge toward Parma. Turn right on Day Drive. Turn left on Ames. Go past the service station and restaurant, then turn left into the shopping area drive. The Fox & Hound is the first building. There is plenty of parking.

Progressive Field

7:05 p.m.

Once again the Ohio State Alumni Club of Greater Cleveland will be sponsoring a night at Progressive Field. The game is Friday, July 25 against divisional foe the Minnesota Twins. First pitch is at 7:05 p.m. As an added bonus, there will be a fireworks spectacular after the game, so make plans to stick around afterward.

Since we anticipate a large group, we have reserved 100 tickets. We have negotiated a ticket price of $20, a $2 discount because of our anticipated group size! Deadline for ticket orders is Tuesday, July 1. Any questions, contact Brad Paton at 440-427-9446.
