  5. Volunteer sign-up sheet is going on the web-site for OPH.
  6. As discussed previously, the proceeds from the sale of Land Shark buckets, t-shirts, and club items at OPH 2008 will be used as "seed" money for the club to cover expenses for 501(c)3 fees, more club items to sell, etc. This will allow our club to raise more funds for donation to Make-A-Wish and The Dubuque Regional Humane Society.
  7. At OPH 2008 we will write the door prize winning ticket numbers on a dry erase board rather than announce them. Attendees will be reminded to check their numbers often.
