The Ohio State Alumni Club/Memphis attempted
to hold a meeting on 9/26/09 however there were not enough voting members
present to conduct official business. Those present were: Cecil Moore,
Jeff Reeb, Carolyn Able and Bill Eggert.
President Cecil Moore made a couple of
"executive" decisions in the best interest of the Club.
The first order of t-shirts
are in and the cost, with setup, was $15 each. President Moore
determined we will sell the shirts for $22 each. The cost will go down
with the next order. 100% of the t-shirt proceeds will go to the
Endowment Fund. It was determined that three individuals will receive a
t-shirt with the compliments and appreciation from the Club: Archie Griffin,
Kathy Bickel and Carolyn Able for seeing this project through to completion.
It was decided to not use the t-shirts as an
incentive during the membership drive. It was decided to raffle off a
basketball to one of the members who join by 10/31/09.
Obtaining a "kickback" from Dan
McGuinness was discussed.
An email should be sent to Nelson Taylor of
the Grizzlies about getting Mike Conley involved, especially when we go to
Westside Elementary to conclude the School Supplies Project. (This was
done on 10/23/09 without response).
We should hire an attorney and trademark our
logo. We should also talk to an attorney about sales tax law.
Jeff Reeb gave the Treasurer's Report.
Cecil Moore suggested a Christmas Angel Tree
for the Website.
As for
President Moore decided to get two tables at
the Shelby County College Fair.
Operation Buckeye: a minimum $400 donation,
shoot for $500.
