Kickoff Celebration – Matt Gaunt, Rebecca Graves and Sheila Voss on the subcommittee
- Sheila distributed a sheet with the estimated expenses for the Centennial Kickoff on Wednesday, September 23, 2015. The committee decided on serving Shakespeare’s pizza, popcorn, tiger stripe ice cream, and bottled water.
- The committee decided that the giveaways for the kickoff will consist of 16 oz. plastic cups (with a possible sponsorship from Shakespeare’s Pizza), frisbees that will second as plates, t-shirts (with a tie-in to the student library fee campaign) and possibly stickers reminding students to vote in November for the student library fee. The student fee working group will be working with students on the t-shirts and student fee handouts, such as stickers.
- Sheila will contact Dr. Brad Snow about reserving Marching Mizzou for the kickoff celebration. Unfortunately, Truman the Tiger was not available to attend the event.
- Matt has arranged for Howard Richards to serve as Master of Ceremonies of the event. Matt is also in contact with the Athletics department to try and arrange for some athletes or coaches to speak at the event.
