Serving Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky and Wood Counties
P.E.R.I. Chapter #93, Lucas County will meet Thursday, April 24, from 1-2:15 p.m. at The Hungarian Club of Toledo, 224 Paine Ave., Toledo. Extra parking is available across the street at the Birmingham Library (use the farthest parking spots from the library entrance).
Bring questions regarding benefits and Medicare denials.
All P.E.R.I. members, pre-O.P.E.R.S and O.P.E.R.S. retirees of Lucas County and communities close to Lucas County are welcome.

SAME Café, a donation-based, fair exchange nonprofit restaurant located within Toledo Lucas County Main Library since 2022, will be closing.
The café’s last day of operation in Toledo is Wednesday, April 23.
The decision to close the Toledo location was made by the board of So All May Eat, Inc. due to the financial challenges that come with supporting two locations (the other location is in Denver, Colorado). The café closure is unrelated to the ongoing deliberations happening at the state level about the Public Library Fund.
SAME Café has served hundreds of meals each week since it opened at Main Library in 2022, strengthening the community through healthy food access and creating a shared space for collaboration, openness and care.
So All May Eat, Inc. is a Federal 501(c)3 nonprofit organization located in Denver, whose mission is creating community through healthy food access. Visit soallmayeat.org to learn more.
Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful is seeking volunteers for “Ramp It Up,” a one-day volunteer cleanup event focused on highway on- and off-ramps, which tend to be hot spots for litter and pollution.
The event will be held Saturday, May 3, from 9-11 a.m. at various on- and off-ramps throughout the city. All cleanup supplies will be provided. As a thank-you, after the cleanup, participants are invited to enjoy a free lunch provided by Bards Coffee at Glass City Metropark.
“Our ramps are not only litter magnets, they’re often connected to storm drains that flow directly into our waterways,” said Adam Cassi, KTLCB executive director. “We need to stop treating storm drains like trash cans. What ends up there ends up in Lake Erie.”
Registration is required at ktlcb.org/ramp-it-up-toledo.
