Jason P. Scribben was a senior at Grand Valley High School and died in a boating accident on Lake Roaming Rock on July 4, 1998. The volleyball court at Lake Roaming Rock was dedicated to him, and the community started a fund in honor of him.

Jason’s family took the community fund and started the Jason P. Scribben Memorial Scholarship that is awarded every year to a Grand Valley Senior. The Scribben family has one fund raiser around or on the 4th of July in honor of Jason.

This year the annual Jason P. Scribben 3 on 3 Volleyball Tournament and Bicentennial raffle will be held July 6th 2013 at the Roaming Shores Beach#1 Club House. The tournament will start at 1pm and registration will begin at 12:00pm. If you would like to register early or have any questions, please call (440) 812-5554.

Trophies and t-shirts will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams and there is no registration fee, but donations are accepted. So please come and join us as we celebrate Jason P. Scribben’s memories and help raise money for a special scholarship to a future graduate of Grand Valley High School.

On Saturday, March 23rd, about 34 students participated in the Boating Safety Committee’s Safe Boating Class held at the Clubhouse.

The course was taught by the Coast Guard Auxiliary, with help from some of our members and ODNR Watercraft Enforcement.

The course, as well as successful completion of a comprehensive test, are required by the State in order for those born after January 1, 1982 to operate a watercraft.

Thank you to Bruce Bower, Joe Palombi and Ed Baitt for organizing the event! Lunch was provided by Chicago Sub Shop out of Orwell, care of the RRA.
