BRUNSWICK, Ohio – Everything old is new again. That seems to wrap up the past month or so for me, thanks to the telephone for the Brunswick Area Historical Society.
About a week ago, the phone rang. It was Marjorie Hay Thompson calling from Virginia and she had just discovered a packet of papers among items from her parents, Walter and Twyla Hay. They were marked “Important church papers passed down to Twyla Hay.”
Walter and Twyla were very involved at First Christian Church until they passed away. Marji wondered if the historical society was interested. I explained we had an amazing collection from the church, which was sold to Tri-C last year, ending the congregation’s 184 years in Brunswick.

The Ambassador’s Fund for Catholic Education invited grant proposals to its online portal on Tuesday, April 6 for a second round of funding to be awarded in the 2021-22 academic year. The deadline for applications is 11:59 p.m., May 3.
The Wayne-based charitable organization awarded almost $583,000 in eight grants to Catholic schools and organizations from its first proposal cycle last fall. This funding is in addition to approximately $115,000 previously designated for the second year of four multi-year grants.
Grantees include four first-time proposal applicants: Archbishop Wood High School, Merion Mercy Academy, La Salle College High School and the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa. They join previous awardees Independence Mission Schools and Sophia Institute for Teachers in funding awarded at the fund’s board meeting in January.
