OSU Alumni Club Achieves Scarlet Tier

The Marion County Alumni Club has achieved the prestigious rating of "Scarlet Tier" on the Alumni Club Incentive Grid once again this year. This is the highest incentive level where qualifying clubs must have a minimum of two board meetings, 5 category events, a scholarship fundraiser, and a game event.

How has our club been affected by COVID-19?

The Alumni Club has had virtually all activities cancelled due to the lockdown and protocols for safety during the COVID crisis. We will resume meetings and activities as soon as the crisis is over.

The Executive Board consisting of President Ted Temple, Vice President Mark Osborne, Treasurer Judy Osborne, Scholarship Chair Russ McBride, and Secretary Marlene Temple have met several times throughout the year to determine how to hold a scholarship fundraiser in these trying times. The board decided to send letters to all club members, Buckeye fans, and donors that have attended our Big Ten Bash in previous years. As of early December, the club has netted $12,003.04 from approximately 75 contributors. Along with the $10,000 match from the Raymond and Charlotte Baldauf Foundation, the Marion County Alumni Club will be able to offer a substantial number of scholarships to area students for the 2021-2022 school year. These funds will be designated for our Scholarship Fund. The Board appreciates the tremendous support we have received. Thank you to all of our donors. We hope to hold our annual Bash at the normal location, The George Alber Student Center next year. We have already started planning.

Food Pantry

The Ohio State Alumni Club of Marion County continues to provide canned goods and non perishable items for the food pantry set up in the Alber Student Center. We piloted this program at the spring meeting in May, 2019 and have continued too replenish items through our various functions throughout the year. Please continue to provide items individually if you are able. The club will also take donations at the spring meeting this year. We are committed to continue to be a part of this program.
