Moe Agler DVD for sale
Through the generous financial support of George M. Steinbrenner III, Roush Honda and others, the “O” Club was able to produce its first DVD titled Robert "Moe" Agler, More Than a Coach. This DVD includes a 22-minute film on the late Coach Agler and his impact on Otterbein College athletics, especially relating the building of the new Memorial Stadium. It also includes 42 minutes of footage shot during the stadium’s rededication on September 17, 2005 and a 3- minute photo collage of the stadium construction set to the Otterbein Love Song. The DVD was professionally produced by Keepsakes Solutions and is available for sale from Otterbein's bookstore or directly from the “O” Club for $30 (including shipping).
The “O” Club, established in 1955, is Otterbein’s athletic boosters association. Operated separately from the College, and run by a volunteer board of directors, the “O” Club raises money to support Otterbein’s athletic program. Along with the Vida S. Clements Foundation, the “O” Club financed the building of the new Memorial Stadium, dedicated in 2005. In the recent past the “O” Club purchased two, new 15-passenger vans and also donated the “O” Club bus for student-athlete transportation.
The “O” Club is open to all persons and businesses who wish to support Otterbein College athletics. We suggest an annual donation of $25 to $50 to help defray operating costs. We also conduct two fund raising events: the annual social & auction and the annual fall golf classic. The “O” Club hosts an annual homecoming meeting and dinner and uses the opportunity to recognize individuals for their contribution to the “O” Club, Otterbein College athletics, and athletics in general. The public is invited and encouraged to attend any or all of these events.
