MARIKA SAVOY
SCHOODIC MOUNTAIN SILVER CO.

• Title: Co-Owner/President
• How long have you been involved in the spirit industry? We have been working with all types of organizations including high school cheerleading squads for four years.
• Mission/main idea behind Schoodic Mountain Silver Co.: Schoodic Mountain Silver offers a unique fundraising program that is extremely easy, offers customers very affordable, fashionable, and high-quality products that they desire to purchase.  Our objective is work closely with organizations in attaining their financial goals.  We treat our customers as we would like to be treated, with honest, prompt, friendly, and personalized customer service.
• What does being a member of OSIP mean to you? This will be our first year as OSIP members.  Being a member of OSIP means that we are now part of an industry-specific family.  Like most families, we can nurture each other, learn from one another, especially from those who have had more experience, and work together to find solutions to problems.  We are really looking forward to coming to Las Vegas and establishing new strong, long-lasting business relationships in a positive environment.  It seems to me that we all have the same goal… to create opportunities for young athletes to have the total athletic experience.  These experiences will be embedded in their memories forever, and we want to be part of an organization that makes dreams realities.
• Why did you join OSIP?  And what does your company do to promote the spirit industry? It is very important to us to be a part of an organization that is moving in a positive forward direction, and that will be mutually beneficial to everyone involved.  Being a member of OSIP will give us the opportunity to meet and network with competition companies so that we can help athletes get to the competitions they dream of.  We work very closely with coaches, boosters, parents, and the athletes themselves, to help them defray the exorbitant costs that come with being a competitive athlete.  We are also looking forward to becoming more involved in the spirit industry.
• Interesting fact about Schoodic: We print a new catalog yearly, and have a huge selection of over 600 items in our catalogs.  There is truly something for everyone!
• What would you like to see happen with OSIP in the coming year? We would like to see OSIP continue to move in its forward direction, and we are looking forward to growing and moving along with it!
