Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties and The Meals On Wheels Fun Fest Challenge received wonderful coverage in today's edition of The Repository, the daily paper in Canton, Ohio.
Gary Brown, editor of the paper's "Your Life" section, ran a story titled "Event to help raise funds for Meals on Wheels." The story provides the details of the event, which will take place on Saturday, June 25, at Sluggers & Putters fun park in Canal Fulton. The morning will feature a corporate challenge, with teams from area sponsoring companies competing in good-natured, fun events, beginning at 8:30 a.m.
The park will be open to the public from 12 noon to 6 p.m. Admission during that time will be just $10 per person, for unlimited access to all park activities -- miniature golf, go karts, bumper boats, the Monkey Jump, bumper cars, the batting cages, the rock climbing wall, and the golf driving range. All proceeds will benefit Meals On Wheels.
The article details how Rick Mirenzi and Berry Carter, hosts of "The Akron-Canton Connection" on WHBC-AM in Canton, had Meals On Wheels CEO Teresa Barry on their program.
"We didn't realize that Meals on Wheels reaches 2,000 people a day," the article quotes Mirenzi as saying. "And she told us what a difficult time volunteers were having when gas prices started to spike."
From that, the idea for the Fun Fest was born. Click on the image to the left to see the clipping of the Repository story.
