June 2025 President’s Notes
This may seem like repetition but with the website problems I want to make sure all the information and notifications get out for June.
We are having a good turnout at the Wednesday’s luncheons. If we want to have JROTC/ROTC staff attend on a weekend during the school
year, we need recommendations from YOU as to a suitable place/restaurant. I will be gone June 2 through the 10th, so Tom Luczynski will handle any issues. Picnic in July at Andy Emanuele’s. If you want to come and need a ride, call me. Ditto for the Steak and Corn Roast.
Here is a notification about volunteering for the Firestone Seniors Golf Tournament. 18 – 22 June 2025
This is a message from Lynda Farkas, past President of OWRC and currently the Chairperson of the Military Committee for Firestone‘s Golf Seniors tournament in June!
Join us – military group or many other opportunities to volunteer!
It’s a great opportunity! Free admission when working, they feed us well & you enjoy being on a beautiful golf course!
