TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME!
The Chapter has made arrangements to attend the Mud Hens game at Fifth Third Field when they will take on the Omaha Storm Chasers on Friday, June 14, (7:05 PM Game). The tickets will include admission to the game and a ballpark picnic dinner – burgers, dogs, mac & cheese, mixed salad, cookies, soda and water bottles. The cost is $35.00 per person.
Your reservation must be made by Friday, May 17 with a check made out to Toledo AGO and sent to treasurer Matt Meinke, 1794 Lexington Dr., Perrysburg, OH 43551. We will not be able to accommodate reservations after this date.
Dinner will be served in “The Roost,” a private patio area on the club level. A few steps away are the club level seats where you can watch the game. You can easily move back and forth between the two areas during the game. The Roost is closest to the First Base Gate on Washington Street. Then up one level via stairs or elevator.
Parking is typically $10.00 – some lots are cash and most also accept credit card. There is also street parking if you get there early.

Shuttles will leave the locations listed below an hour before first pitch, and will return 20 minutes after the game or post-game fireworks have concluded.

Over the past three years St. John’s Lutheran Church Bellevue, Ohio, completed a tonal redesign of its 4/53 organ under the direction of GT Organ Associates and J. C Wilson & Associates. St. John’s had planned an inaugural concert for May 2020 that was cancelled due to the COVID pandemic.
In place of a rededication concert, St. John’s Lutheran Church is pleased to extend an invitation to you to set up a date and time for you to bring your music, come in and play, and explore the tonal possibilities that this organ possesses. If you are interested, contact Paul Lieber plieber08@gmail.com (419) 217-7046.
