May Leadership Team Update!
Everything LT has been working on since the end of Finals!
Executive Team Update
It's crazy that the first month of summer has already flown by, and your fellow team members have been busy getting started on a great year of BobcaThon! Before I dig into what all of the LT members have been doing, there are some updates exec is very excited to update you all on!
First, Athletics has reached out to us and has asked us to help sell 50/50 raffle tickets at all of the home football games! This is the first year that they are using this brand new system and we are extremely lucky that they have asked us to be a part of this fundraiser! Since athletics is still working out the logistics with the company, I do not have a full plan for you all, but expect to work at least one home game, possibly two. Athletics have asked us to have 8 members be available the week of August 14th to come in for a training session. If you are interested you are committing yourself to being at the training session, working the first football game and helping exec train the rest of the team at a later date! We need 4 LT members to partake in this process with exec! This is a great opportunity for us to not only raise some extra money for the house but to also publicize our cause! Please let me Carol know by 5:00 PM on June 1st if you can attend the training session.
Secondly, the exec team will be heading to Columbus soon to meet the New Carly! Alexis Donahue has recently accepted the position of Community Partnership Associate at RHMC, she will be graduating from Ohio State University at the end of the summer and is very excited to be working with us! She participated in the Findlay University Dance Marathon when she attended Findlay for two years and is working with some Red Sole Society members that have previous Dance Marathon experience at Purdue to help us achieve great things this year!
Now to get you up to speed with what the rest of the team has been working on!
