Today we produced the State of Ohio's Veterans Hall of Fame program. 20 remarkable people represented the class of 2019. This live award program and tv show featured Governor DeWine and Ohio Department of Veteran Service Director, Debra Ashenhurst, Color Guard, a bagpiper, and yes, an Army quintet band. This program is one of our favorites to produce each year!

Friends,
I need a volunteer who knows WIX and has some web design skills. They would restructure an existing site and basically streamline it.
This person needs to be able to come occasionally to a monthly meeting in Columbus.
Wix is a software package for web design.

Thanks!
