LET'S EAT TOLEDO! is a locally produced show sponsored by the Northwest Ohio Restaurant Association and Sofo Foods featuring local restaurants. Ralphie's Family Sports Eatery was featured for the month of January on a show that was broadcast six different times on Channel 24 and TV 5. They had great shots of our Franklin Park restaurant and great shots of the food. Tom Ball did a terrific job on camera
explaining our many menu items. They also interviewed our customers and had a great shot of Sam Smith in the kitchen working his magic. Tom mentioned that he is now recognized wherever he goes and that he has had to beat the women off with a stick. Our Franklin Park Ralphie's has become one very successful restaurant and it is because of Tom's leadership.

celebrity Tom Ball.
(by Paula Powell) Congrats to Big Boy #29-Napoleon employees Mike DeMichiei and Wayne Eicher who received nominations to the Navy Academy. A banquet with Congressman Paul Gillmore was given to all honorees and their sponsors. Mike and Wayne attended the banquet with Executive Manager, Mindy
Rex and Assistant Manager Tracey Schroeder. Mindy and Tracey were invited to attend because of their participation in writing the letters to the Academy for Mike and Wayne. A good time was had by all. Congratulations and Good Luck to both Mike and Wayne.

Ralphie's Maumee was named Employer of the year by the Toledo Area Consumer Advisory Council.
This honor was bestowed upon them because of their commitment to employee Diana Tipping who was injured in a car accident. Diana could not perform her full duties, so they accommodated her by
allowing her to wait on two tables at a time during her recovery. Letters, certificates, and wall plaques praising Ralphie's Maumee were sent by George Voinovich (U.S. Senator), Bob Taft (Governor of Ohio ), Betty Montgomery (Attorney General), Jim Petro (Auditor) and the Ohio Senate. Congratulations!
