Hello Everyone,
Here we are looking at one of the hottest months of the year. I hope everyone is being smart about working and playing outside. That means drinking lots of water, when outside in the sun wear a hat with a brim and get out of the sun and take a break during the hottest part of the day.
Check the calendar and the website for registration information about the summer picnic, 13 July 2024. < https://owrc.net/events/?event=1280 >. This will also be our July membership meeting.
It will again be held at my house, 426 East Ave, Tallmadge, OH 44278. The Chapter will provide Fried chicken and JoJo’s (from Altieri’s in Stow), drinks and table service.
Members bring potluck—casseroles, salads, fresh fruit, desserts. If you last name begins with A thru L, bring a casserole or side (i.e. appetizers, baked beans, potato salad, etc), if your last name begins with M thru Z please bring a salad, fresh fruit or dessert (i.e. brownies, cookies, etc).
Adult beverages permitted. A heated pool is available for our enjoyment. Bring lawn chairs if you can.
The OWRC Board Meeting for Third Quarter is scheduled for Tuesday, 16 July 1400 – 1600, at the Summit County Veterans Service Center, 1060 E. Waterloo Rd. Akron, OH. Board members will be receiving the agenda shortly.
Looking ahead, the Annual Steak, Chicken, and Corn Roast will be held on Sunday, 18 August at the Tadmor Shrine Picnic Area, 3000 Krebs Dr, Akron, OH. Watch the calendar and your email for registration information.
It looks like our tour to the NASA Glenn Research Center on Brookpark Road will now happen on Thursday, 19 September. In order to get the most out of this tour it will be held in the early afternoon. If anyone knows of a good restaurant near there where we can share supper, let me know.
We still need a nominee for 2nd Vice President. This is an excellent way to learn how the Chapter works and to ease yourself into helping run it. We also need a Newsletter Editor, a Photographer, and a ROTC/JROTC Liaison. Please get in touch with me if you are interested.
And don’t forget our weekly lunches at Michael’s AM, 1562 Akron Peninsula Rd, Akron, OH 44313. Right across the street from Papa John’s/Iacomini’s
Thank you
Andy Emanuele
President, OWRC
