Last week, we had the pleasure of hearing from Jeff Abke with the
Perrysburg Schools Foundation . As a proud Perrysburg native, Jeff
brings a deep personal commitment to our schools and our community —and it shows in everything he does.
His presentation, School Funding 101, was both informative and eyeopening. Jeff has a remarkable ability to break down complex topics in a way that feels approachable, relevant, and important. He reminded us how vital community support is to maintaining the high standards Perrysburg Schools are known for, and he helped us better understand how funding works behind the scenes.
Beyond his professional role, Jeff is a true family man and a passionate sports fan—two things that shine through in his energy and enthusiasm. His dedication to Perrysburg, both on and off the field, makes him a tremendous asset to our community.
Thank you, Jeff, for an outstanding presentation and for everything you do to help elevate Perrysburg Schools.

Member Recognition

This week, we’re recognizing the man who literally keeps our
meetings from exploding into overtime—our resident
timekeeper, Jim Davis with Calverley Heating & Cooling!

Armed with his handmade electronic timing device (which,
let’s be honest, looks a bit like a movie prop from a bomb
squad scene), Jim makes sure we all stay on track—and on
edge—each week. When that timer starts counting down, you
can practically feel the tension in the room!

Beyond his precision timing, Jim brings the same level of
craftsmanship and reliability to his work at Calverley Heating & Cooling, Inc.. Whether it’s installing a new system, keeping your
home comfortable, or engineering gadgets that could double
as Hollywood props, Jim’s attention to detail is unmatched.
Thanks for keeping the clock (and all of us) in check, Jim—
you’re the reason our meetings don’t blow up!

We’re shining the spotlight on someone who might
not wear a cape, but always shows up like the hero we need.
While Batman couldn’t make it, we’ve got the next best thing
right here in our chapter—Ryan Davis from Technique
Roofing!

Ryan is the kind of guy you can count on anytime. Whether
it’s a roofing emergency, a question about storm damage, or a
CEU marathon that literally crashes the app, Ryan always
rises to the occasion. He brings an upbeat energy and an
infectious smile to our Wednesday mornings, making every
meeting just a little bit brighter.

At Technique Roofing, Ryan delivers the same reliability and
positive attitude to his customers—ensuring quality work,
honest answers, and protection overhead when it matters
most. Just like a well-built roof, Ryan’s presence gives us all a
sense of support and security.

Thanks for always having our backs, Ryan. You're truly a rocksolid
member of our BNI family.
