Raffle Ticket Sales:  Currently less than half of the tickets have been sold.  Oktoberfest, September 25, 26 & 27 will be a big push.

Discussions:  A meeting with the Galion Education Association was very positive.  Discussed having a Director for all groups.

Our Challenge:  What really is our mission?  How do we work with other groups?  The Alumni Association is a project oriented group with names of over 4000 Alumni.  Do we need a director?  How much of a salary would that person receive?

Bill Durtschi checked with his wife on banners for the scoreboard and fence at the end of the football field. Superintendant Kathy Jenny said we could put a banner on the fence, but nothing on the scoreboard.

Meeting adjourned.

Repectfully Submitted,

Bill Durtschi
