Annual Activities

OSU Planning meeting - The Ohio State Club meets each January to elect new officers and plan the year's events. We usually meet on a Sunday afternoon at a member's home. You are invited to participate and provide new ideas. We mail invitations to all members to come help us get organized. See you there.
OSU Spring Dinner - In April or May each spring, we invite a speaker from The Ohio State University as our guest at a sit-down dinner. They always bring an update of current events at OSU, entertain us greatly, and help each of us maintain contact with a very important part of our past.
OSU Adopt-A-Mile - We have adopted Royal Oaks Blvd in Franklin from the new post office to Mack Hatcher Blvd. We pick-up the litter from both sides of the street four times a year. It usually takes about an hour of a Saturday morning. We provide street warning signs, gloves, bags, orange vests, etc. Contact Gary Cooper at 889-4400. He'll put you on the 'call' list for the next pick-up.
OSU College Fairs - Each Fall the Alumni Club represents Ohio State at several College Fairs for area school systems in Middle Tennessee. We pass out OSU literature and answer the questions of potential new Buckeyes. These are usually 6:00pm to 8:30pm during the week from late September thru mid-November. It's easy, OSU provides 'facts and answers sheets', and we always send you with others who have done it before. Contact Mike Bradley at 297-4758 to get your name on the call list for this year. Each fall we typically talk with 400-500 kids and half of them will send info request cards to Ohio State Admissions.
OSU Football Trip to Columbus - Each fall the University allocates 50 football tickets for one of the early games to our Ohio State Alumni Club - we don't get a game choice. We mostly all stay at the same hotel, but we travel separately. It's a perfect opportunity to 'hook-up' with old friends and neighbors back in Ohio - we go the the band 'skull session' warm-up, run to the stadium to watch the band come down the ramp, and all sit together in a block and have a great time. You have to be a paid-up member to get in on this deal.
BIG TEN Picnic - The Ohio State Club joins with the other Big Ten school clubs in Middle Tennessee for a Big Ten Picnic (also the Christmas Mixer & Golf Outing) each year. This lets us have a big picnic (good networking opportunity) and still spread the workload. It is usually sponsored by the Michigan State Club who caters the affair at a local public park with drinks and dinnerware provided. The MSU Club trys to schedule the picnic so that we can invite Big Ten Alums who now play for Nashville's Professional Sports Teams.
BIG TEN Holiday Mixer - Usually scheduled in very early December, this all BIG TEN get-together features finger food and a cash bar at a local restaurant or Clubhouse sponsored by the Iowa Club. It's another good opportunity to get a big crowd together to socialize a bit.
