In what follows the details of his presentation:<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText">OSSB has numerous models of historical buildings and items that are used as part of the school's education programs. These models are very old as they were originally built by artists during the Work Projects Programs of the 1930s and 1940s. These models have served many generations. He mentioned that he attended OSSB during the 70s and early 80s and he certainly benefited from being able to use the models to better understand what the historical buildings and items they represent looked like. He added, unfortunately, time has not been kind to many of the models and they must be restored so that they continue to serve their educational purposes. Restoring these models is not an inexpensive process as they must be restored by hand. OSSB is accepting donations to assist with model restorations and is offering a plaque to be placed on models for every$500 donated. The Board of Directors authorized a program where the NFB of Ohio will match all donations made to the project via the Affiliate by July 1, 2021. He further clarified that the goal is to garner at least $1000 in donations so that we can receive at least two plaques to honor long-time NFB members and OSSB graduates Paul Dressell and Paul Jordan. If we are able to raise additional funds, we will also be able to receive plaques to honor other long-time NFB members/OSSB graduates.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText">Again, the NFB of Ohio will match all donations received by members, Chapters, and/or Divisions received for the project between Saturday, April 24, 2021, and July 1, 2021.
