The Ohio State Alumni Association Brings Buckeye Pride To Van Wert

(Van Wert, OH) - The Voice Of The Buckeyes, Paul Keels, will be a featured speaker at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center on April 10 at 3:00 PM.

Club President, JoAnne Wolford, shared her gratitude of the resource that the Niswonger stage provides to showcase such talent as Paul Keels and why the Club feels it is important to partner in support. "People from around the country are impressed that a town the size of Van Wert could have such a facility. Of course, we all know Scott Niswonger Loves his home town and we thank him for all he has done. Now it is our duty to step in and support this great gift we have been given and use it to its fullest," expressed JoAnne. The Club was founded in 1987 by Carl Jeffery with their first held at Van Wert High School with Coach Earl Bruce as speaker. Throughout their 35 years of existence, they have raised thousands of dollars for scholarships for Van Wert and Paulding County graduates to attend The Ohio State University.
