Save the Date! North Coast Rotary is hosting our annual Great Pizza Bake-Off at Avon Lake High School on Thursday October 6th, 2016

The North Coast Rotary Club has hosted a youth exchange from Japan for the 2015-2016 school year.  Nobu is returning to his home in Japan.  On his last day he said, “I’m not sure if I’m leaving home or returning home!”  Rotarians and friends met at Buffalo Wild Wings in Avon Lake to say “bon voyage”.

Rotarians enjoyed the hospitality of Sprenger while meeting many business owners at the very successful 2016 Avon Lake Business Expo.

Preparations for this well-attended event are underway, as Rotarians Doug Maurer and Rebecca Russell are enlisting pizza merchants to join in this friendly competition.  Culinary students from the Lorain County Joint Vocational School will once again be preparing their specialty desserts!  Tickets for the all-you-can-eat event will remain at $10 per adult and $5 per child and will be available for pre-sale next week.  Pictures below are from last year’s event.

The following club members were elected to serve on the North Coast Rotary Club Executive Board:  John Crooks, Vice President; Matt Knotts, Deputy Treasurer; and  John Daly and Allen Porter as Member Delegates.
