• All board members are asked to submit content and relevant links to John to incorporate into site.  Content can be photos from our activities or races where members participated, articles of interest etc.  Links should be websites which provide relevant information to our Club members, e.g. Active.com, TriKC.com, athlinks.com, Mararunning.com, Rebound etc.

2.  Club Creative & Uniforms

• Eric has been in contact with Primal Wear.  Creative templates will be forwarded by e-mail for input to all Board members as they will be received over the next couple of days.
• Goal is to receive alignment on creative and cost by e-mail to place order ASAP.
• We need to deliver on our promise to provide one complimentary tech shirt to all members.  I suggested to survey all members for their specific needs of club clothing, e.g. tri shorts, tri top, tech shirt, jacket etc.  Depending on demand Eric will negotiate best price and offer credit for the cost of tech shirt.
