  2. Mike Stamos and Doug Culver talked to group about Westerville Booster organization.  They said their goal as a group was to not take away from what the individual school booster organizations are doing.  Their goal is to come up with large money making activities, such as, casino night, super games, golf tournaments, etc.  This money would be used to lower pay to participate fees across the district.  They also will be working with all extra-curricular activities in the future not just sports.  They want all booster groups to be represented at their meetings.  Eventually they want to become a foundation to take care of all money raised.  And the foundation will distribute money in the future.  Also they want volunteers to help start booster groups at the middle school level.  They need a representative for Blendon and Heritage at the present time.
  3. An election will be held in May to elect new officers.  If anyone wants to run for an office or be a committee chair please contact Cathy Noskowiak at Cathy.noskowiak@hylant.com or give your name to Scott Dorne.
