We will have a meeting next week at Innsbrook. Saturday June 6, 2009 10 am. Please make every attempt to be there. We need to work together - give status - understand process. All the good things you have to do to be successful.

Please give me any feedback or suggestions on the site.

The Check is in the Mail

This meet planning is really happening! Don't get left behind.

We have officially sent in the money for Collegiate. Those of you who think the gym is too small please get with me or Anne Marie Dunn, we can schedule a walk through for you. Parking is a bit of an issue, but no worse than other places we have been. It is the most scenic of all - of that I am sure.

There are lots of opportunities for help. The website is in the final stages, just going through a little QA then will be published. Once that goes out - we start registration.

I would love a theme for the meet. Not just fall... lets open the doors for this... anyone have any ideas. Post to the blog. Creative committees start meeting next week... need something to tie it all together. I keep thinking the wizard of oz.. lions and tigers and bears... I know aren't you all glad I don't get to make all the decisions.

Get involved. PS. All you wanted to know about the meet but were afraid to ask will be distributed at the show.

Hot off the press

Marketing met on Thursday - We need this team to grow. There is so much to do. This committee needs volunteers. Nancy is working with host hotels to get a rate, Dave is writing up the sponsorship lingo. We have some folks on stand by to call the gyms get a feel of numbers and interest.

We plan to have the mailing and website ready by Friday.


Now that the school is secured we are moving onto equipment, and funding. Start thinking of who you can go to for sponsorships.

We are going to be doing something interesting this meet. We are going to open the sponsorship of each events. So if you wanted to sponsor Vault - you can 750.00 there are only 4 events to sponsor. Be looking for details, Bars is already taken......

If interested in an event...contact Nancy Price or David Kee. They will be happy to assist....

Hello from the Program Committee

Well, we are in full sell swing for program ads. We need your help in soliciting from everyone you know, the businesses you frequent, etc. We need to start generating some cash flow so we can continue to get this meet underway. Innsbrook and Hanover, these forms were in your mailboxes yesterday. Sill working on how to get them to Trade and Chesterfield... but if you have not received one and are interested, email me at tkiwak@thesensorpeople.com and I will send you a word file and you can print all you need! I can also bring some with me to the show on Friday the 29th.

If you have any questions about program ads, give me a call or drop me an email and I will do my best to answer it!

p.s. I tried to put the document up here but it would not let me. :(

awards committee

Hi everyone! I am excited about Richmond Olympiad's meet this fall!!!! I know that we have a lot of work ahead of us. I am posting this to ask for volunteers to help out with awards. I am chairing the committee. Sandy Mann is also helping with this, but we need other folks from other gyms to help out (we are both at Chesterfield). Please, let me know if this is a committee that you would be interested in joining.

Thanks!

Latest Happenings

We did another walkthrough of the school today. It was even more beautiful the second time we went. We plan on having one final mandatory walkthrough over the summer. Anyone in charge of a committee will have to go. I will plan far enough in advance - but you will need to see the layout of the school for the event.

Met with Kelly Schaffer who is doing registration. She is going to be creating a registration template. She will be the mail point of contact for how many girls, what level and age group. That will also be listed on the web.

Met with Theresa Kiwak for programs. She, Beth Cole and Nancy Mulhvill will be in charge of selling Good Luck ads for the program. We decided on 100.00 for a full page, 55.00 for a half, 35 for a quarter of a page, she is creating a template for that and will be passing along the information. Ads can be sold all summer up through October 1. Please see them if you want an ad or need more information.

We added some new faces to the marketing team. Holly Burrus, Sandy Mann, and Lisa Hailey will be on the marketing committee. We still need help there. It is a huge responsibility. Dave and Nancy plan on holding a meeting this Thursday. Details to follow.

All of us will be representatives for finding sponsors. If you have friends, neighbors or relatives who will be good candidates for a corporate sponsorship -Please let us know. (I hit Loreley's grandparents up)

Going to View Collegiate

We are going to tour the school Saturday at 1130. Meeting outside the Jacobs center. If you are interested please let me know. This will be an excellent opportunity to check out where we will be setting things up and how.
