Erin' Corner: 
· Erin opened up the meeting by thanking all the parents for the hard
work to make the State Meet the success it was.  Erin said she had e-mails from
coaches, gyms and parents praising how well the meet went.  Erin is looking for
a copy of the Phoenix with the States article in it.  If you have one see
Erin.  Also if you know where the consignment shirts are from the state meet
please see Patti Corse or Erin.

June 28th.  The rain date will be June 29th.  Further details to follow.
· Christina Ng's last day of coaching the level 6's is May 14th.  Shawna
Eddy will take over the coaching responsibilities for Level 6 on May 27th.
· Keystone Games will be in Wilkes-Barre on May 31st and June 1st.  See
Marsha Beatty if you need a hotel room.  This is a meet for both YMCA's and
clubs.  Erin is having our giirls compete with the club teams to give them more
exposure.
· The YMCA is breaking ground soon for the new field house.  It was
suggested the GPO might give a gift of $500.00 to the Y.  The gift can be
allocated back to the team to be used for a purchase to benefit the team, ie.
cubbies for the girls.  A vote will be taken at the June meeting.
· Lisa Wohlgemuth would like to get a list of all the leftover meet
supplies.  If you have something that is leftover from any meet we had this
year please get in touch with her.  The idea is to have a master list so we do
not duplicate in purchasing things we already have.
· Erin has miscellaneous "stuff" in her office from the state meet.  If
you are missing anything, see her.
· Banners will be made for the Level 5 and 6 State Meets.
· The GPO is looking for volunteers to be a part of next years GPO
Board.  Please contact Ed Postell if you are interested in running.
· The June GPO Meeting is Mandatory, it will be the 2nd Tuesday of the
month and nominations and elections will take place.
· Please check over the schedule for summer practice.
