Nick told us the story of his journey to open his beer brewing company and tap room. Opening a brewery is not for the faint of heart. He got into it by accident when his college age son wanted to brew beer. The process made a complete mess of the household stove, but they kept trying. Friends and local business owners like Doubledays wanted him to brew larger quantities and sell it.

CHS partnered with our club to find students who have a desire and a financial need to pursue a degree in the skilled trades to present them with the Skilled Trades Scholarships. Skilled trades are in high demand and this is a wonderful opportunity for a good job, to earn good money, and have a great future. The Will Cale Scholarship requires a Counselor’s recommendation and the emphasis for selection is on financial need and potential rather than academics or class standing. The goal is for the recipient to graduate from Sinclair with an Associate Degree.

Fort Ancient is Ohio’s first State Park. The mission of the Dayton Society of Natural History at Fort Ancient is to provide visitor and educational services focused on archaeology, Native American culture, and heritage stewardship as they relate to the site, on behalf of the Ohio History Connection. The walls and mounds of Fort Ancient were built 2000 years ago by dumping baskets loaded with soil upon one another. There are 553,000 cubic yards of soil. This soil would fill enough dump trucks to stretch 200 miles.
