My daughter, Hannah Klein, recently had the opportunity to try out for the Team USA bowling team in Reno, Nev. Although she did not make the team this year, she had a great experience and looks forward to trying out again. The competition consisted of five days of bowling against 100 of the best female bowlers in the country.


Don’t forget to send information to my email at CM101495@aol.com by the second Wednesday of the month to be included in the column and thank you.

Around Edinburg: Celebrating Ravenna’s new book store

- by Cathy Klein .

On Aug. 30, I celebrated the Grand Opening of my bookstore in Ravenna, Books a Go Go. I could not have dreamed of a better day and cannot thank the members of the community enough for coming out to show their support. Thank you as well to the Main Street Ravenna organization and the Ravenna Area Chamber of Commerce for putting together a great Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.
