Informal Meeting at Jennifer's 8am for some Rotary Fellowship

Local legend and Westlake resident, Phil Bova has recently released his book "Throwing Back the Chair"

Phil Bova was a Big Ten Basketball referee for 30 years and officiated in March Madness a staggering 20 straight years. Locally in Westlake, Phil is also very well known for his youth baseball camp which has been a Cleveland staple for 45 years.

Throwing Back the Chair is a humorous and entertaining read that covers several facets of his career, and further details the life of a big-time official. How do you get picked for March Madness? What are the intricacies of officiating a game? Which coach nearly caused a physical altercation on the floor? Which legend wrote Phil a letter of apology for his despicable behavior? What’s it like to be on the floor at Ohio State? What were the top 15 games he officiated during his career? What was the atmosphere like when Bobby Knight threw the chair across the floor? Phil tells us that, and much, MUCH more!

Phil will have books on hand to sell and autograph.

Come help us celebrate the career of a Cleveland treasure!

With the generous support of area businesses the Chili Open Golf Classic, organized by the Rotary Club of Strongsville, has raised more than $2 million for charity since 1992.

The all-volunteer event has become a February tradition in Northeastern Ohio, drawing nearly 1,000 golfers who tee off into blasts of frigid air, putt across frosty greens and warm up in a hall full of hot food and sizzling activities, like the action-packed celebrity auction.

Volunteers needed for the Historical Society Gounds Cleanup.  

People can bring work gloves, rakes, other gardening hand tools, 39 gallon yard waste bags, and 39 gallon cans to hold the bags while we fill them.  

I think we're going to clean and spread mulch.  People can bring wheel barrows, mulch shovels, and rakes to spread mulch.

There is also a group of middle school kids planning to come on Friday to do cleanup so depending on how much they get done, we might only have to mulch on Saturday.
