COLUMBIANA — Ohio Sen. Jason Wilson, D-30th, will be the featured speaker at the Fairfield Township Ruritan Meeting, 7 p.m. Thursday at Heck’s Restaurant in Columbiana. “We have asked the Senator to address some timely issues, matters of concerns to all area citizens,” said Wayne Holtom, club president. “Therefore, we have decided to open this meeting to anyone who would like to attend and meet the senator.”

The dinner will be $10, and the program is free to anyone who would like to just hear him. “We realize more folks than ever are concerned about the economy, and would like to know more about plans for Columbiana County and are particularly interested in politics in an election year. It is important everyone has the opportunity to meet their state senator,” Holtom said. Reservations are required by calling 330-482-2561.

The 2008 graduates selected for scholarships from Columbiana High, Crestview High, and Heartland Christian Academy will also be announced at the meeting.
