Other News:
Maumee Valley Heritage Corridor has reached a critical point. We have been unable to secure funding to retain our Executive Director for more than a few hours per month, thus limiting our ability to provide the programs and services formerly offered.
As a result, we are working to be as financially responsible with your donations. We will be converting to an online-only newsletter, beginning with this, our April 2015, newsletter. However, because this is a free service for non-profit customers, we will be able to send a newsletter to you each month, We will also post in on our webpage atwww.maumeevalleyheritagecorridor.org, so that you can read it there as well.
Coming Events:
Mark your calendars now for our annual Regional Trails Conference, October 9th, at Oberhaus Park in Napoleon, Ohio. Constructing a “water trail” along the Maumee River will be one of the topics. Check our next newsletter for more information.
Introducing New Board Member….Dave Westrick
I was born in Napoleon, Ohio, and raised on a farm outside of Ottawa. I graduated from Miller City High School and earned a Bachelors degree in Journalism from Ohio University. I worked as a newspaper reporter, media spokesman, ad agency copy writer and communications director before starting my own media consulting business. I am currently retired and living in Maumee with my wife Nanci. We have two daughters and four beautiful grandchildren. I am an avid outdoorsman and an amateur historian. In addition to belonging to several history, preservation and nature groups I currently serve as President of the Fallen Timbers Battlefield Preservation Commission. One of my favorite hobbies in canoeing. I spend a lot of time on the Maumee and have paddled every river in the watershed. Working with the MVHC strikes me as a natural combination of my love of history and the natural world.
