Former OSU QBs Discuss Buckeye Football and Literacy
 
Former Ohio State QBs, Craig Krenzel and Justin Zwick were our guest speakers.  This is an annual club favorite, and Craig and Justin did not disappoint.  Their lighthearted storytelling from their playing days - in addition to insights into the current, confounding Buckeye Football team - kept the club members interested until after our regular scheduled end time. Unfortunately, they had no good answers or optimism to share about the recent challenges with this year's edition of the gridiron Bucks.   
 
More important to our Rotary charter, Craig also provided an update on behalf of the 2nd and 7 Foundation which was founded by Ryan Miller who was traveling and unable to join us on Friday morning as he normally does.  Founded in 1999, 2nd and 7 has football players in college and high school read to 2nd grade students and donate books - all of course to encourage literacy.  Currently, 2nd and 7 operates in 26 states, with 47 colleges and university football teams participating in the program. More than 67,000 books have been donated, and the foundation has published its 13th original book.
