Help us grow our Scholarship funds by inviting a friend to join Us!

Our mission statement is: To promote student scholarships, enthusiasm, loyalty, and support for The Ohio State University among Buckeye Faithful. The reasons are simple and straight forward, but the first one is the biggest reason we need your help in recruiting new members for our club. All of the proceeds from our dues and our other activities are put into scholarship endowments for Shelby County students to attend The Ohio State University.  Membership has its privileges including special events such as the Spring Banquet and Annual Meeting, golf outings, tailgates, and blocks of tickets to football, basketball, baseball, and hockey games. 

Dues are $20 per year or $200 for a life membership. Simply go to take the form on the back page, fill it out and send it with your check to The OSU Alumni Club of Shelby County, P.O. Box 42, Sidney, OH 45365.

With your help our club will grow and be able to assist more of our local youth in their quest to become future Buckeyes!

       $1000 of a Scholarship finds it’s way back to our club!

       In May, Iddy Andrews sent out an email informing the board members of an exciting and feel good letter that we had received in the mail.  While we all know that the main purpose of our club is  : To promote student scholarships, enthusiasm, loyalty, and support for The Ohio State University among Buckeye Faithful,  I think that many of you will agree that unless you know one of the recipients, the regular member really doesn’t get a lot of feed back from the scholarship winners.  I have taken the liberty to pass along parts of that “exciting and feel good” letter, and I hope that you appreciate it as much as I did.

I had a most interesting experience today which impacts all of you. I went by the post office to check the OSU box and picked up the mail. Just now I sat down to open it up. There was a letter there from David Timmerman, a young man that we provided a scholarship to in 1999. As some of you may recall, he didn't show up at the interview, and in this letter refers to himself as a "cocky teenager." In this letter which I will share with you at the next board meeting, he says how much our confidence in him meant and how wonderful his OSU experience was. He graduated summa cum laude (GPA 3.92) with a bachelors of Science in Computer Science and Engineering in 2003, and is now working for Lexmark in Lexington, KY. 

Enclosed with this letter is a check for $1,000 to go to our scholarship fund so that someone else can have an opportunity like he had! I just about fell out of my chair! I would like to recommend that we make David a life member of the Shelby County OSU Alumni Club even though he didn't mention a membership. Wow - what a young man!    Iddy
