Sandusky Kiwanis 90th Anniversary

On Wednesday November 4th our club celebrated its 90th Anniversary of service to the Sandusky Ohio Community. We had a very special guest for our event. Former Sandusky High and Ohio State University Head Coach Earle Bruce was our keynote speaker. Thank you to the several division clubs who were able to join us in our celebration. Each of you should be commended on your work you do for your communities too! Thank you Heather, Ed and Pat for putting together our history slide show that ran during the meeting. Coach Bruce had some wonderful stories about local kids as well as stories about his coaching days. At the end of the evening our club presented Coach Bruce with a donation to the Earle and Jean Bruce Alzheimer's Foundation at OSU. All members and guests enjoyed a wonderful program and he motivated us all to go another 90+...and of course had most of us ready to beat Penn St ourselves (Other than our very own Penn St alum Ed S). THANK YOU COACH BRUCE!!!! Enjoy the photos. There are more available on our facebook site! Please join us there as well!
