Unemployed or Under-employed?
I’m a 1961 ND graduate, and long time member of the club. Since I am retired from the HR field I have been volunteering with a non-profit group which seeks to help professionals in their respective job searches. The organization’s name is 40+ of Central Ohio ( no reference to age!). If you know of any experienced or recent ND graduates who might benefit from such an organization have them go to www.fortyplusoh.org for more details. If anyone would like to discuss their individual employment situation, this organization, or related issues please have them call me at 614-889-9258 in Dublin.
Thank you,
Steve Bennison, ‘61

Get Involved
The ND Club of Columbus is always in need of volunteers. Here are two opportunities to get involved.
Columbus Half Marathon Water Station -- Saturday May 5th
Volunteers are needed to help staff our 5th annual Capital City ½ Marathon waterstation. We will hand out water to runners in the morning and go out for brunch/lunch afterwards. Volunteers will receive a free marathon t-shirt/sweatshirt. Please contact Stefanie Marshall at smarshall@alumni.nd.edu to volunteer.
Tutoring Opportunity
My name is Mike Terry, ND '61.
I live here in Columbus and have been working with our Muslim
refugees/immigrants for the past few years as an ESL teacher.
We used
to get some help from Franklin County through Columbus State's Language Institute,
but the recession knocked that out a couple of years ago. I continue to volunteer
at Somali Senior & Family Services center at 3248 Cleveland Ave. But we
can't find enough volunteer teachers. Classes are Mon. - Thur., 9:30 - 12:00, 12:30 - 3:00, and 4:00 - 6:00. The
students are all adults, mostly women from Somalia, Morocco. Senegal. Very
kind, respectful, and eager to learn. No special skills are required other than
a knowledge of basic English, an openness to the Muslim community, and a desire
to help. If any ND grads (or others) in the area who might be
interested, please let me know by e-mail: mterrynd310@yahoo.com or call me. 614-886-6566. I
can provide more information about what we're doing. Thanks very much.
