I. Catering

-Old Bag of Nails has to cater this one. We are looking at having heavy appetizers and a cash bar. The Otterbein Alumni office will be taking care of negotiating prices. Next meeting we will be looking at the menu and choosing what will be served.

2. Admission

-The prices will be $12 if you register before the event and $15 at the door. There is a $5.00 flat rate for students with their Otterbein ID. If you register before the event, you will also receive a surprise gift to commemorate the occasion. Old Bag of Nails will provide wristbands to show who is able to drink. We will also have a person at the door checking IDs. The alumni office will provide name tags to show who has paid to attend the event.

3. Alcohol

- Cash bar. Ids will be checked at the door and wristbands will be given at the door.

4. Aircheck CD

-We are soliciting alumni for cassettes and/or CDs of their on-air work at WOBN. Please send them to Tricia Mays, 5827 Tuttles Grove Blvd., Dublin, OH 43016. On-air work can include promos, PSAs, airshifts and projects. We're looking for anything from :15 seconds to :60 seconds. Please send a self addressed stamped envelope to help us keep postage costs low. This CD will be onsale at the event for one or two dollars with proceeds going to WOBN. Students will be in charge of making the CDs. I will contact the advisor and professors for the program to see if it's possible that students will get credit for this to provide incentive. The last track on the CD will be the future of WOBN!

5. T-Shirts

-We are working on getting T-shirts to sell before, during and after this event. Tricia will contact JC Manney on Otterbein Ave., while Bonnie will contact the Jacketman to comparison shop. We would like to keep the price of the T-shirts at or around $10. An idea for the T-shirt will be WOBN/WOBC logos from the past on the back and the logo that we come up with for the event up front. Would like to do some T-shirts pre-sale to help raise some money.

6. Invites

-Bonnie will have proofs of the invites at the next meeting. We will have the usual info for the event, how to pre-register, T-shirt sales info, soliciting for CDs and Photos.

7. Photos

-We will solicit for photos of WOBN's past from alumni and such. These will be displayed on a slideshow during the event. Photos can be sent to the same address as the airchecks or e-mailed to triciamays@columbus.rr.com.
