Wednesday, 2/4/2026 was our club's 75th anniversary celebration at Welshfield Inn.
40 members, guests and past members attended a spectacular event. President Jeff Pascoe and secretary Bob Johnson presented the program. A Proclamation from Middlefield Village was read by Andrew Pleso, another from Burton Village was read by Brian Brockway and one from Geauga County was read by Commissioner Jim Dvorak.
A special announcement was made by member Fran Bayless announcing that she wants to donate $750 to our America250 tree planting project that will start in the spring. She would like the project to be in honor of her late husband,Tom Bayless.
Both Jeff, Bob and Brian Brockway spoke about past club accomplishments and members that have been part of the club since our founding in 1951. Welshfield provided a great dinner off their menu that was enjoyed by all. As Andrew was introduced to read his Middlefield proclamation it was pointed out that being the club's youngest member would make him the most likely BMR members to attend the 100 anniversary in 2051. A celebration slice of decorated cake was served to all in attendance and the celebration ended at 8:30PM.
