Congratulations to our 2009 - 2010 Officers and Committee Chairs that were elected last Saturday.  Elections were quick, as none of the nominees faced opposition, and all positions were filled.  The quick elections allowed us to do a little brainstorming and planning for next season.  We also were happy to welcome our newest honorary member, Joel Siegman, Manager of Fan Development for the Columbus Blue Jackets.  It was a pleasure for everyone there to have the opportunity to exchange ideas with Joel for next year's events.  Thank you to all who attended and enjoyed the fabulous free lunch!  We are now seeking volunteers for each committee for the upcoming season.  To sign up, please email the committee chair that heads the committee you wish to help with by clicking on their name below, or head to our contacts page under the About Us tab on the website above.

Did you know that the Jacket Backers encourage and accept donations to local food pantries at all of our events?

Sometimes this gets lost in the excitement of cheering on our team.  But the Jacket Backers are dedicated to helping our community.  That is why we accept food donations at all of our events and share them with various food pantries in the area.  A frequent question that comes up is, "What exactly should we donate?"  Follow this link to the Mid Ohio Food Bank's Grocery List for the answer.

So, if you have the ability, bring a donation to our next event and:
