Highlights from the 1/16/08 GRIN Conference Call
Chairman Mel Goldstein, called the meeting to order at 8:00 PM.
Treasurer's Report:
Our numbers are running
slightly behind this time last year, but we still have
registrations coming in. The Treasurer's Report and
Minutes from the October meeting were approved.
Registrar's Report:
USMS registration is now available
on line. GRIN registrations are slightly behind
from a year ago. We have sent a renewal notice to all
swimmers who have not registered. For those who
submit paper entries, please do not staple the check
to the application.
State Meet Entry:
The final draft of the GRIN State
Meet Entry was submitted to the committee for
approval and is in this GRIN
Newsletter. The meet will be March 29-30, 2008, at
Fishers High School, Fishers, Indiana.
GRIN Newsletter and other
USMS Events:
The NASTIs had
already received as many entries for
the "Check Off Challenge" than previous
hosts of the meet, but would
love to have even more participants!
This is an event that all swimmers
can enjoy and we'd appreciate support
from every club in Indiana.
Mel reported on the USMS One
Hour Swim and hoped everyone
would support this event as well.
Club Organization:
We discussed some of the organizational
concerns of club Irish Aquatics and asked
those in attendance how their individual clubs were
organized. The discussion brought forth many different
successful models to help further develop a
Masters program.
Irv Merritt Award:
Cheryl Gettelfinger brought
forth a nomination for this year's Irv Merritt Award.
The nominee was approved unanimously and the
award will be presented at the GRIN State
Championships.
The next Greater Indiana Masters LMSC Conference Call Meeting will be Wednesday, April 16, 2008, at 8:00 PM.
With no further business, a motion to adjourn was passed and the meeting was adjourned at 8:46pm.
