Suzanna Barbati, executive director of OH WOW! The Roger and Gloria Jones Center for Science and Technology, gave the club an overview of all the "happiest place in Youngstown" has to offer.
Operating for over three years in downtown Youngstown's refurbished McCrory's, the museum has welcomed over 40,000 visitors, including 11,27 students and educators. The museum's displays - eight in total - focus on ages zero to 14, and are open to children and their parents participating in "self-directed" exploration. Barbati also gave some insight as to what is on the horizon for new displays, including a wheelchair racer, kids in the kitchen, a discov-eary zone focused on hearing, and a prosthetic limb exhibit.
If you guessed Oktoberfestival, you would be right!
Oktoberfestival will be held on Sunday, Sept. 28, 2014. The committee is looking for volunteers for set-up on Friday, Sept. 26 and Saturday, Sept. 27, as well as volunteers for the day of the event. Look for the sign-up board at the regular meeting to mark when you're available!
A reminder that the Canfield Fair is right around the corner, and we will be in need of volunteers to man the Rotary booth. A sign-up sheet will be going around the meetings and online as soon as the dates and times for the schedule are received.
A reminder that the August Board Meeting will be held on Thursday, Aug. 21 at 7 a.m. at The Cafe at Wittenauer's. The meeting is open to those who would like a makeup for regular club meetings.
