The Point at Otterbein University is officially complete. The opening was Friday, September 21 and the space looks great. You guys should all go check it out. You can get a membership to their makerspace for $75/month. Want to know about The Point? Here’s an excerpt from the website:

“Hands on learning combined with a suite of sophisticated tools, labs and special manufacturing and engineering equipment, The Point is a one stop shop for learning, creating, and building. Built for the larger common good in mind, The STEAM Innovation Center offers an opportunity for students and community alike.”

Another successful year in the books. We can’t thank you enough for all of your support. Our sponsors, Premier Commercial Construction, King Business Interiors, Jezerinac Geers, Daltile, Mohawk, and Shaw, come through every year to help us throw this event and raise unabridged money for the iBELIEVE Foundation. Many of you donated to our silent auction and it was good stuff, man. Lauren Davis from Feinknopf donated her time to photograph the event and we’re so excited to share them with you. And to the rest of you, just buying a ticket, showing up, and tossing a few cornhole bags makes a huge difference in an Appalachian kid’s future. Thank you.

Because of you, we have donated $5,000 to iBELIEVE to support and sponsor Newcomerstown High School. Five children get to attend leadership camps, which means those kids get to network and develop skills that will encourage them to follow their dreams, as cheesy as it sounds.

Thank you again. I know I say this every year, but when people jump on board to support the things we care about, it’s overwhelming in such a good way. Gear up for next year, kids. We’re getting a dunk tank and you know Tim’s up first.
