CASM Wearing Apparel
The place agreed upon by the club at the last meeting ended up not working out. Color selection of shirts and type of fabric was restricted and proved to be too expensive. Enterprise in Maumelle has agreed to do the printing for $25.00 per shirt with a minimum order of 36 shirts needed for a print run. The shirts will be on sale starting next week and may be purchased via PeyPal on the CASM website.

The goal is to have the contest completely paid for by the money obtained by sponsorships. Each sponsor group will have their name and advertisement on the club website. Medals and Plaques: Medals and plaques are in. Judges Training: Daris reviewed the judging criteria, which is available on-line and the organization of the judges and judges training was conducted after the meeting. Pre-Registration is open through the CASM website. All club members are encouraged to do this to expedite registration the morning of the show. Set-up: Set-up will start at 6:00 PM at the Arkansas Health Center. Tables will be set-up for vendors and the contest.
