SPONSORSHIP
NEEDED!!
OCSC is seeking
members and businesses to sponsor the swim and dive teams in 2008. Information will be available to members on
opening night detailing how you or your business can sponsor one of our teams
this year. There will be two levels of
membership: Gold and Silver. Gold
sponsorship will include your name or company name on swim team shirts, or
towels, recognition at all swim team events, and signage on the OCSC website
and at the pool.
The sponsorships will
be assisting with the overall cost of participation in the 2008 events and to
also provide special recognition to individual pool members. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Our goal is $2,500.00.
If you have any
questions about sponsoring the teams prior to opening night please contact John
Steiner at 937-510-1067.
