From Columbus City Council & Team Rubicon

Council is teaming up with Team Rubicon, a veteran-led disaster response organization, to help our community recover from last week’s severe weather.

Starting this week, Team Rubicon volunteers will be in our city helping with cleanup and we need your help taking care of them.

Donations of the items listed on the graphic can be dropped off at the Fran Ryan Center during regular hours to support the volunteers working in our community.

September Meeting: Guest Speaker

Explore the New FPCA Digital Collection

At our September 8 meeting, Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML) librarian and Digital Collections Director Eugene Rutigliano will explain how the FPCA’s historic materials were preserved and digitized. He will also give us an online tour of the new FPCA Digital Collection.

You may remember that last November, Rita Woeste, Forester Editor, and Lou Bernard, Secretary, delivered Foresters dating from 1962–2026, along with photographs and other historic documents, to the Columbus Metropolitan Library. This effort was undertaken to preserve and share more than 63 years of FPCA history.

Over the past year, CML staff and volunteers have worked to digitize, organize, and upload these materials to the new FPCA Digital Collection on the CML website.

Join us September 8 @ 7 PM to see how our neighborhood’s history is being preserved—and explore the collection for yourself!
