Programs:
Last week: There were 29 at lunch at the Holiday Inn and an additional 15 members participating virtually. Our speaker was Chris Price, an Air Force veteran and the co-owner of Climbing New Heights, a rock-climbing gym located off Rt. 9 near the GM Access Road. Chris talked about his time in the Air Force and Ohio Air Guard, about some difficult years after he left the Air Force that saw him spending time at both the VA Medical Center and the Martinsburg Rescue Mission, his recovery, and how he is currently active in a number of veterans’ groups and programs. He described a variety of programs for children and adults that are offered at Climbing New Heights.
This week: Ashley O’Brien, the Junior League.
