Bill Kany mentioned that Andy Greif and the Community Bicycle Center received 22 tickets to the August 6th Sea Dogs games against the Akron Rubberducks (yes, Bill was serious!).  The tickets are in the Troubh Skybox which is a fantastic place to watch a game.  Andy donated them to the club so we can raise a little money for Red Ribbon Committee.  Bill Kany suggested that some club members and their family and friends go to the game in exchange for a small donation for the tickets.  He recommended a donation of $20.00 to $25.00 per ticket.  If you or your business would like a few tickets and you are willing to make a donation for them, please contact Bill Kany as soon as you can with how many tickets you would like to purchase.  Tickets are a first come, first get basis.
