STATE Meet: Melissa G/ Dawn/Gary will be the meet directors. The theme is the “Golden Ticket” based on the Willie Wonka idea. We need a few more chairmen for individual spots. The sign up will be on the Booster Board. All chairmen are asked to begin working on your area, please see Dawn first to go over any info she has for you.

Bonnie B discussed with the group some legal issues and concerns, along with how the sponsorship for the meet will work. The agreement between ODG and ODG Booster Club will be a 50/50 split in profit.

Sponsorship: A group of members have already received the mandatory minimum $300 for the Sponsorship Program. All ads’ are due August 1st!!!!! Pictures will be scheduled by Dawn as soon as the fall season begins.

CLARIFICATION: This is for participating members coaching expenses for this coming competition season, NOT FOR THE STATE MEET! A new form and sponsor level form will be provided after our season starts. All ad’s you are getting for the program now will be included in the state meet program and we will ad specific meet sponsors and donations to the program and change the cover for the meet.

Please get as many sponsors over the min. required that you can. This benefits “all” who participate. You will definitely get your minimum back to pay for your child’s(children’s) expenses.

New Business: ODG will have a float in The Girard Parade on Sat. Aug. 16,2008. Chris W and Comm. will have info for you soon about decorating etc.

New Business is to be brought to the attention of officers before the scheduled meeting as was announced and in the minutes at the beginning of this year. This is not to “hush” anyone but to keep control at the meetings.
