June 2, 2011:Thirty-Five members and guests
were on hand to hear Andy Russell, former linebacker for the Super Bowl
Champion Pittsburgh Steelers talk.Russell shared some of his experiences as a professional football
player.After graduation from college in
Missouri, he never intended to play
professional football, but was drafted by the Steelers, none-the-less.His career spanned 1966-1976 and he was part
of a Steeler team that made history.He
became a successful businessman while still playing football and traveled the
world.The Pittsburgh Steeler owners
(the Rooney family) as well as head coach Chick Noll taught him that he needed
to balance giving back to the community in both time and money.One of his favorite charities is Economics PA
which he has served on as a board member and his Russell Family Charitable
Foundation has supported financially.
