Project LEARN of Medina County
Match Wits 2021
 
 
Mike Kovack, Medina County Auditor and "Quiz Master," welcomed Table Team Sponsor Medina Sunrise Rotary and and the other team contestants to the 2021 Match Wits Trivia Competition Dinner and Silent Auction Fundraiser to support Project LEARN of Medina County.
 
An evening of fun, folly and good fellowship was complemented by an excellent buffer dinner at the Blue Heron Event Center with desserts provided by the Honey Bee Bakery and autumn table decorations from Prudence Aylsworth.
 
Guru assistance was provided  for the 8 trivia categories: Law, Tea, Disney, Nursing, Astronomy, Theatre, Olive Oil, and Music Terminology.  Did you know that within our solar system there are 4 planets which have rings and that the Cleveland Playhouse is America's oldest continuously existing theatre venue? Hearty laughter and warm applause greeted this year's Match Wits' Champions - "Quizitina Aguilera".
 
100% of every dollar raised supports Project LEARN of Medina County's literacy programs, which include: adult literacy, Reading & Math, English as a Foreign Language, US Citizenship Testing, Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery Testing, State Nursing Assistant Exam, and the BookShelf.
