Message from the President:

As we move into 2009, I want to thank everyone who has helped out during my time as President of the club.  We have initiated several ventures over the last two years such as:  this website, the  new "Defenders of the Northern Border" logo, the highway clean-up, the making and selling of Buckeye jewelry which supports the Momsen Scholarship Fund, and several partnerships with local businesses which  help support our causes.  The Ohio State University Alumni Club of Lucas County board has been so supportive of me and Shirley during these last two years.  Beginning on January 1, 2009, Tom Roemer will be our new President.  We are excited to have his fresh thinking and leadership and are certain you will want to join Shirley and me in supporting him and the club.
