Tell me about your job.
I am a sales account manager for Falken Tire. I sell passenger, light truck and commercial (semi) tires to wholesalers and retail stores in Eastern Canada (Ontario to the Eastern Seaboard) and in the US (OH, KY, WV, PA & western NY). My job is mobile so when I am not traveling to meet with clients, I can typically be found working from my home office or occasionally from Common Grounds!
On behalf of Troop 256, I would like to thank all the people who donated to the Bluffton Food Pantry during our Scouting for Food event. On March 23rd, scouts put out bags on people’s doors around Bluffton. On March 30th, Scouts collected the bags filled with food. We collected around 120 bags that contained 850 items. If your bag was missed or you did not get a bag, you can call Mike Metzger at 419-235-5654 to still donate. Again, thank you for all the support in this year’s food drive.
Bluffton Trinity United Methodist Church will host a live auction of talents at 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 5, at the Jenera Park building.
The event is the first of many planned to support a new outreach group, Project Hope of Bluffton, which is focused on helping community members in need.
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin, has again compiled County Health Rankings, a tool they have developed so that counties can see how their health ranks with that of others in the state. Ohio and county data are now on the County Health Rankings website: www.countyhealthrankings.org. These rankings have been released annually since 2010.
