Golf outing
The East Palestine Alumni and Friends Scholarship Association will be sponsoring a golf outing on August 20 at the East Palestine Country Club. The four-man teams will have a shotgun start at 8 a.m. The cost is $100 per team plus green fees. In addition to hot dogs at the turn, a BBQ lunch will be offered upon arrival. There will be several raffles available, a beer pyramid, a 50/50 draw and potentially a chance for a “Hole in one.” All funds raised are intended for scholarships for senior PE graduates who plan to attend college or trade school. Registration forms and fees can be submitted to any administrator by August 4th. Contact Roger with any questions at 330-831-4620.

Summer Concert Series
This week’s Summer Concert Series performance will be held at a different location. See you Sunday at the Salem High School Auditorium starting at 6 p.m. for a very special concert sponsored by Bob and Linda Sebo. Las Vegas headliner Frankie Scinta, showman, musician, comedian and impressionist, will give a spectacular performance to Salem audiences in the comfort of air conditioning, plush seating, restrooms and adequate parking. Doors will open at 5 p.m.
The following Sunday night concert, July 31, with Jukebox Saturday Night will also take place at the Salem High School Auditorium. Both of these concerts welcome nationally known bands who travel to Salem from all parts of the United States.
For the Friday night bonus performance between these two Sundays on July 29, the Salem Quaker City Band will remain at Waterworth Memorial Park, as will the rest of the concerts scheduled for August.
All summer concerts are free thanks to many generous donors listed on the back of the evening program. The High School Concerts will have two tables set up in the main hallway of the auditorium to sell raffle tickets for two beautiful gift baskets and a 50/50 raffle.
Deb Cappa’s booth and some tables will be available outside the auditorium entrance doors for those wishing to purchase sandwiches, snacks and soft drinks. Do not bring food or drink into the school auditorium.
The entrance to the Salem High School parking lot and auditorium can be accessed on FE Cope Drive, off 816 N Lincoln Ave. FE Cope Drive is opposite the south side of Hope Cemetery. For more information, call the Salem Parks and Recreation Department at 330-271-8913.
