OHIO STATE WINS ROSE BOWL 26-17 over Oregon!!!!
Happy New Year Buckeye Fans!!!!
What a way to start the new year……a Rose Bowl victory!! I want to thank all of you who attended gamewatches at Glory Days and MaGerks! Without your support during the entire season, we wouldn’t have half the fun and we wouldn’t have two fine establishments opening their doors to us. I want to take this opportunity to thank our club VP, Kathy Jo Harris, for running things at MaGerks. It was our first year there and hopefully, the first of many more. It’s hard work and with the crowds she’s been getting, it shows how much she’s done to get the word out at our newest gamewatch location. I want to thank Mark Gromofsky, Treasurer and Rob Evans, Secretary, for their help throughout the season running things at Glory Days when I wasn’t in town and helping out on game day. I couldn’t have done it all without your help……from posting information to the website to running the raffles and just being there when I needed you. I also want to thank the many fans and alumni who donated raffle items throughout the year. The raffles are our biggest source of income and help support the running of the club, paying for college fair registration fees and providing funds for our scholarship fund. I want to thank my college fair volunteers for helping to promote Ohio State at local high schools throughout the year……Kathy Jo, Mark, Rob, Kylee Chow, Ron Kennat, and Cindy Obiecunas. Your efforts are a big reason why Ohio State is actively looking at the Baltimore area for more students. We couldn’t do the number of college fairs without your support. I want to thank our Scholarship Team, Karol Rainier, Kim Jenner and Karen Kirts who put countless hours into reading all of the entries, scoring them and making the tough decision on our winner. We’ve been able to award a $1000 scholarship each of the last two years. We’re hoping to offer more this year after we review our finances. I also want to thank Anthony Paul for his work behind the scenes maintaining our website. I think it looks great and it’s a great place to get all of the club information. I want to thank the staffs at both Glory Days and MaGerks for their support of our alumni club. It means a great deal to have quality establishments to get together to watch the games. I would ask that each and everyone of you let them know you appreciate their support. Finally, I want to thank you….again….the fans and alumni who come together to support the Buckeyes each week. It could be easy to stay home and watch the games on some days, but coming out to the gamewatches with fellow fans and alumni makes the experience that much richer and more FUN! Keep an eye out for information on some gamewatches for Buckeye Basketball games. I’m discussing with the officers now about which games we’ll get together for during the remainder of the season and especially the Big Ten and NCAA Tournaments. I hope all of you have a very happy and prosperous new year!!
GO BUCKS!!!
