Where has summer gone?

It seems like just yesterday we were making plans for our spring gathering, and now it is time for the fall one.  Instead of just one date to share, we have two:

1.  Marion Correctional Institution is again hosting a cookout for retirees, plus a guest.  The date is Thursday, September 13, from 4-6pm at the FOP Park outside of Caledonia (5327 Harding Hwy E, Caledonia, OH 43314).  They will be providing sandwich meat and “go-withs” (hot dogs, hamburgers, buns, condiments, plates, and table service.  We are responsible for bringing a covered dish, and our own non-alcoholic beverages. 

To make sure we have enough of everything, please RSVP to Kathy Hamilton or Audrie Bender (extension #24216 or #25187) by September 11th if you are able to attend.


2.  We have confirmed arrangements for our twice-yearly luncheon.  Due to the positive response received in April, we will be returning to the Ponderosa Restaurant in Marion (2227 Marion-Mt. Gilead Road Marion, Ohio 43302).  The date is Tuesday, September 25, and we will gather at noon.  As usual, we secured the use of the back room for our gathering.  No RSVP is needed, just show up.  If you know of other retirees who might enjoy getting together, invite them too! 


3.  For those who have not yet heard, we are in search of a President for our group.  Charlie Daniel recently relocated to Florida, leaving us temporarily without a leader.  The duties are reasonable and require no heavy lifting.  If you are interested, or know someone who might be, make it known at one of the above gatherings, or by email. 


That’s all we know for now.  Take time to enjoy the warm weather of summer!

John Mathew, Vice President
