If you read the Dispatch sports section, you should recognize the tremendous success of the 2007 Ohio Dominican University football team. Coach Dale Carlson helped lead the Panthers to their first Mid-States Football Association (MSFA) Mideast League title and ODU made their first Football Championship Series playoff appearance.   ODU finished the season 12-1 overall after going a perfect 11-0 in the regular season.

What is often times missed, is the story behind the story on the example of the Coach to impress upon his 135 player roster to work as a team through incorporating Christian values. Benefit from this witness talk to learn how Coach Carlson, entering his fourth football season, is already making great achievements benefiting all of Columbus.  

ODU football players are hard working and dedicated student athletes. The on and off the field success of Coach Carlson had him recently named the American Football Monthly and Schutt Sports 2007 NAIA Coach of the Year.  This honor recognizes coaches in all football divisions.

To live our vocation as Catholic men, each one of us have individual goals we are trying to achieve. This talk will provide encouragement and important reminders to incorporate into our lives.  

Please promote the Catholic Men’s Luncheon Club by forwarding this e-mail and to men who you know would enjoy attending.  For more information contact Chad Wilson, CMLC President, at wilsoc43@nationwide.com or visit www.ColumbusCatholicMen.com.

MAY MEETING

Tom Lynch, “the Mayor of Broad Street,” - The Difficult Decision to Close Woodhouse Lynch Clothiers and the Story of How Our Lord Helped

Friday, May 2, 2008
St. Patrick Church, Downtown Columbus, Ohio
11:45am – 12:10pm (Mass)
12:10pm – 12:30pm (Lunch)

Everyone, at some point in time, is faced with a difficult decision. In trying to figure out what to do, our Lord has taught us to completely turnover our thoughts and concerns to Jesus as He will show us the way. But, often times this is a struggle for men which requires trust, prayer, and faithfulness.

Tom Lynch opened Woodhouse Lynch Clothiers a downtown men's-apparel store in 1972. In February of 2008 he retired and closed the doors one final time.

This talk will not only cover the important events of how our Lord worked to help bring peace this decision, but also how we can mirror Tom’s example in business and incorporate it into our own lives. All of us are called to be ministers of our Catholic Faith most importantly through our example. Tom created his business to be a ministry helping the homeless to top Columbus executives. This talk will help remind all of us that business is important, but friendship is event more important.
