Hey there fellow Ohio Riders, I wanted to give you all a heads up and let you know about a poker run I am working on at the present time. I am sure you all remember John H McConnell, but in case u dont.... He was founder of Worthington Industries and the founding owner of the Columbus Blue Jackets. His son now has them. Mr Mac as he was called by friends, was a wonderful man and had a heart of gold. He gave to the community in every way he could. Some examples is the addition of the amphitheater at the Columbus Zoo, the expansion of the McConnell Heart Hospital to Riverside just to name some. It has been a while since his passing and I want his charitable legacy to continue and will put on this annual event. It is still in the planning stages and collection donations for raffle prizes. The event will be on Aug 18th and start at the McConnell Park at the Worthington Industries complex at end of Dearborn Dr. If there is any businesses out there that would like to sponsor this event, please contact me. Currently in talks with A D Farrow and if it works out, there will be a great party at the end of it. I would appreciate any help we can get. The proceeds go to the Blue Jackets Foundation and Worthington Cylinders Adopt a Family Christmas Program. Thanks, Cody
