Thank you for attending Meeting #1, 38 Officials attended. Thank you John W for setting up Purchase Officials and selling to our association.
Pizza was provided, we had some hungry guys tonight! It didn't last long. Also thank you Andy Paul for the delicious dessert! You might need to bake and bring those to the meetings more often.
President Lightfoot opened the meeting. Secretary gave a quick update about meetings and DragonFly. VP Jones sold 50/50 tickets, Shawn P took home the WINNINGS. We had a good meeting that Joey said was going to be quick due to the technical difficulties of not having a projector that wouldn't fire up. After discussion from our Mechanics Interpreter Josh Bricker and Rules Joey, the meeting lasted the full hour! We had good discussions from other officials: DOC, Danny G,, Terry, the Sheriff amongst others. Thanks for all who participated.
We are looking for officer nominations for the offices of President, Treasurer and Rules Interpreter. So far we have Zach G for Treasurer. WE NEED others to step up and help with positions. If interested please let us know.
See you all in TWO weeks at Buckeye Valley.
Thanks
