Carolyn Able showed us some black carry bags with the logo on it. They would
cost $20. We could use them in various ways.

added incentives to higher levels.
It was approved to purchase three cases of wine glasses offered by TOSUAA to
give to those who join for 2011.
Jeff Reeb announced that Dan McGuinness has agreed to discounts for our
members. 10% on food all year long and beverage specials during game watch
parties. Good at Spottswood location only. We'll create membership cards which
staff will check to give discounts. This benefit includes
It was suggested we charge non-members for game watch parties. Not likely to
be approved by DM and would hurt our attendance figures.
It was suggested we display our accomplishments at game watch parties.
We should set up a "membership table" at game watches and set up a
drop box for membership forms and dues. Approved.
As a way to increase paid membership we should look into a small group life
insurance policy and the cost of such a plan.
Outreach - Should we ask members to donate cash or school supply items? Both
are accepted but it was decided that supply items should be the main focus.
Services (such as tutoring) could also be donated.
Redbirds game in August: Monday night, tickets only, no buffet.
Jeff Reeb will talk to the management about the smoking/no smoking issue to
clarify.
Contact the national organization to see if there is a national agreement
with Bank of America concerning monthly service fees on accounts.
Membership
Start a membership data base. This has been discussed before. Have members
list what they are good at and can do for other club members.
Hand out flyers at game watches with the names of members businesses. Canvas small businesses even without OSU ties as a cheap way to
advertise.
Consider placing businesses' logos and advertisements on the website.
Talk to our Grizzlies representative about getting Mike Conley, Jr. involved
