ORSA SUMMER OUTREACH SPONSORED BY:
 
 
The Ohio Recreational Sports Association (ORSA) Membership, Retirement and Necrology Committee along with the Social Committee is excited to announce the plan for the 2017 ORSA Summer Outreach. This year, we will travel to The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. (Note: we had a last minute location change from Capitol University) . The date is set for July 27th and the program will run from approximately 8:30am-4:30pm. We have planned a morning of educational sessions and roundtables at OSU followed by a delicious lunch and an afternoon of fun and games at the Old North
Arcade, just a few miles from campus. Registration for this event begins on Wednesday, June 21st and closes on Wednesday, July 19th . It is limited so please encourage your staff to register early. With that stated, please only have them sign up if they know for sure they can attend. We tend to have people sign up right away and back out last minute. Also, thanks to our sponsor, Matrix, there is no cost associated with the summer outreach.
I am sharing this information with you so that you can pass it along to your current staff teams. All professionals and students are welcome to attend. Any new professionals or students are highly encouraged to attend so they can get a little taste of how wonderful ORSA is!
