SPCA Elections

2010 is around the corner and your Civic Association needs you. Officers on the Board will be changing and it is time to think about joining the Team. This will be my last year as President. It has been a great 4 years with Schumacher Place Civic Association. I plan to stay involved, but have accepted a role with John Sowers to help with his campaign for 25th District seat in the State House of Representatives.

My involvement will be heading up his campaign's fund raising. Many of you know that I have horses and my 4 year old filly is under saddle and hopefully, ready for training for the dressage ring. I look forward to this as I bred her and caught her when she was born. Time to get serious in the saddle again.

Schumacher Resident Member of the 2009 OSU Marching Band

Schumacher resident Nathan Stuhlfauth has been selected as a member of the 2009 Ohio State University Marching Band. Nathan plays snare drum in the percussion section and secured his position in a highly competitive audition process. As a rookie, Nathan is quickl learning what it takes to uphold the rich traditions associated with the OSU marching band and master new performance skills each week. According to Stuhlfauth, the excitement of marching down the ramp at OSU stadium for the first time at the opening football game was an indescribable experience and one he will long remember.

Nathan began playing drums in elementary school and gained early performing experience with the Arts Impact Middle School steel drum band. He was a member of the Whetstone High School marching band, jazz band, and wind ensemble, graduating in 2008. This fall Nathan begins his sophomore year at The Ohio State University majoring in zoology. He is the son of Marleen Kromer and Gary Stuhlfauth, long-time residents of Schumacher Place.
