1. Honoring the lives of J. Michael Dunn and Ken Wing
With heavy hearts, we remember the dedication and service of J. Michael Dunn and Ken Wing, two members of our Rec Sports family. Mike Dunn passed away July 23. His determination to better the student experience inspired all of us at Rec Sports. Mike was the director of Recreational Sports Learning, and former director of Recreational Sports at Ohio State.
Plans are being made for a public memorial service at Ohio State on Friday, October 8 at the Recreation and Physical Activity Center (RPAC). Please email recsports@osu.edu, to be added to the invitation list. Details will be posted on the web site as they are determined.

Ken Wing also passed away on July 23 after a long illness. Ken was the program assistant in the sport shop at the RPAC and managed the men’s locker room in the old Larkins facility.

2. Urgent Need for Blood Donors - Red Cross Blood Drive
Summer blood drives are particularly important as the demand for blood to support trauma victims increases, while donors are busier and less likely to find time to donate.
Three blood drives are planned in the next two weeks:
On Wednesday, August 4, from 2 to 8 p.m., you can donate at the Neil Building in the William Hall Complex (corner of 10th and Neil Avenues). Email Brian Tomlinson at btomlinson@studentlife.osu.edu to schedule or ask questions.
On Thursday, August 5 from noon – 6 p.m., Red Cross will be holding a blood drive in the RPAC Second Floor Lounge.
On Monday, August 9 from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. at the Jerome Schottenstein Center to “Give Someone a Schott at Life.”
