COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Westerville North High School is looking for local business partners to get involved in "Warriors On Their Way" week. This week-long event will take place October 24th - 28th. During the event, school counselors work with 12th grade students to complete college applications, explore career opportunities, write cover letters and resumes, conduct mock interviews, and more. Businesses can get involved in several ways:

  • Include your business name, logo, and contact info in communication to students throughout the week
  • Provide promotional materials with your business logo. These are great ways to reward students, advertise your business, and connect students to your business.
  • Assist with mock interviews, speak with students, or share interview/resume tips and tricks
Email Ms. Erica Beebe, counselor at Westerville North beebee@westerville.k12.oh.us or misenerm@westerville.k12.oh.us if you are able to assist!
MEMBER SPOTLIGHT - Union Home Mortgage
Hello! My name is Tim Bullock and I have been Vice President of loan origination at Union Home Mortgage for 26 years and in the mortgage business for 28 years. I have built a team dedicated to getting our clients' loans closed fast & efficiently with no surprises. I enjoy working with first time home buyers who ask a lot of questions. I don't mind putting the time and energy into guiding my first-time home buyers through each step of the process, making sure they understand everything about their home loan. The value we offer our clients is nearly 60 years of mortgage lending expertise behind us, along with a primary focus on communication with weekly, and sometimes daily, loan status updates. No one in our business communicates more than we do. I invite you to contact me anytime to discuss your unique mortgage needs. I truly am dedicated to providing my clients with the highest quality mortgage lending expertise. Learn more here.

When attending the Quarterly Luncheon meetings, be sure to include your business card in the drawing for the opportunity to be featured as the ‘Member Spotlight.’
