Food Bank finds new home at Royal Redeemer Lutheran Church
As you may have read in our last edition, the North Royalton Food Bank has been relocated to Royal Redeemer Lutheran Church at the corner of Royalton and Abbey Roads.

The Bears are building and future is bright
The first two months of the North Royalton Bears football season has been fraught with bad luck. After the first six weeks of the season, North Royalton had a 1-5 record. But, that record could easily be 4-2 or better if a couple of breaks went the Bears way. The string of bad luck goes back to the first pre-season scrimmage against Padua.
