This year's dinner will be on Saturday, March 13th at 4:00. Once again we will be meeting inside the rustic Great Blue Heron Lodge, located at the Rookery. What is the Rookery, you ask? It is a Geauga county park located just 2 miles from our club grounds near Munson Township. It has been the perfect spot due to its location and being part of the park district it is cost effective. Everyone is invited. Just bring a covered dish or dessert. Wild game or not! Coffee, pop and water will be provided. Directions from Chesterland: Take route 322 E. to Rockheaven road and turn right. The road will then make a right turn. Follow it to Cedar road. Turn right on Cedar and you're there. For more information, call Mike at (440)-227-6756

BENEFICIARY

All available funds are going to a 12 year old girl at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Tori who has cystic fibrosis and is in need of a liver transplant. the expenses are mounting and they need help. she is in constant pain But never complains about it.her biggest wish is to go deer hunting with her uncles. Money raised at the Gosh is going to the family to ease the burden. Torie is doing pretty good. She has her good days and her bad days. She gets tired very easily and that bugs the heck out of her. She would rather run than walk and usually if she can't run, she won't go. Torie goes to school 2-3 days a week for 1/2 day and then is tutored the rest of the time. They have to go to Cincinnati Children's Hospital soon for an evaluation and to have some kind of bands wrapped around her liver. I'm not sure what that procedure is all about, I just know she has to have it done periodically. Hearing of the generosity from the OSTA family overwhelmed them tremendously

If you aren't planing on attending the GOSH and still would like to help ,please send a check of any amount  to:
