Dear Medalist Club Members

Each year the Board of Directors must nominate a slate of Officers and Directors to be presented to the members of The Medalist Club for approval. This year's nominees are distinguished by their willingness to volunteer their own time and many skills to the Club's activities and by their love and support of the University of Alabama-in particular the Gymnastics program, of course! The board proposes that Jack Goertz be approved as President-Elect, and Lance Hocutt be elected Treasurer after completing a mid-year board appointment when the position was vacated. The two-year terms of Secretary and Membership Chair would be filled by Tammy Campbell and Sandra Chaux, respectively. The 2011 Director's class would include with your approval the talents and wisdom of Roger Ballard, Ron Burroughs, and our doughnut king Evan Smith - the latter nominated even though he has yet to bring a single doughnut to a board meeting!

The election of the new officials will take place as usual at the annual University of Alabama Gymnastics Banquet hosted by The Medalist Club and its benefactors, and in a new venue for us-The Zone at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The banquet will take place on Saturday May 3rd, 2008, at 7:00 PM. Please let members who contact you in the next few weeks know how many will attend the banquet with your membership level as this will allow us to better plan for the festivities.

I hope to see you as the Tide competes in regional and National action and in May as we celebrate the many accomplishments of our 2008 team. I thank all of you for your support of Alabama Gymnastics and The Medalist Club.

Roll Tide! Jim Davis, President
