Minutes are available on website: PickeringtonPanthers.com.
TREASURERS REPORT (Lana Brindle)
Raffle came out to a $5.22/ticket
profit. Year to date reports were due Jan. 15. Cross Country is missing year to
Date summary and bank statements. Year to date summary is missing for softball
and concessions. Please, in the future, make sure the reports are turned in to
Lana, not Gary.
Boy’s and girl’s basketball doing well in districts. One wrestler advanced to state. Cheerleaders have won many competitions in their division (large varsity non-mount).
CONCESSION REPORT
Paul reports winter concessions
have gotten better late in the season. Concessions trailer should be here by
the middle of March for spring sports. Greg Boone indicated that baseball
probably would not be using the trailer unless it is very close to the baseball
diamonds. Greg requested that they be supplied with a grill, hotdogs, chips,
pop, candy, etc. as they were last year. Trailer will probably be closer to
softball diamonds since they do large tournaments. Dick Schultz inquired about
how the trailer will be hardwired, and where. The trailer is set up to be able
to move from one sight to another, but our facilities are not set up to make it
easily accessible. Mark A. and Bob D. were to look into this and will decide
what needs to be done electrically. Paul
suggested that concessions trailer be used at Violet Festival with a 50/50
split of concessions between clubs and Booster’s.
PROGRAMS (Hope Boren)
Spring sports programs will be
printed this year. Track invitationals will get the majority of programs to
sell, baseball, softball, boy’s volleyball and tennis can have whatever amount
they want to sell at home games. Let Hope know.
MULCH SALE (Greg Boone)
Joint
fundraiser with Tigers: selling bagged mulch. Anyone interested please order,
and pass info on to friends and neighbors. Order forms available tonight or
from Greg at later date.
SOFTBALL GOLF OUTING (Dick Schultz)
Planned for
Sept. 25th. Already have foursomes signed up. Keep the date open and
sign up!
Mark is willing to go to spring
sport’s meetings to explain membership- let him know.
Plans do not show that it will
make much profit, and at this time it looks like it might be tabled.
BINGO (Quarterback Club)
Bingo
was stopped in 1998 because they disallowed smoking in the schools, and the
equipment was old, and it took a lot of people volunteering. It ended up
costing money, instead of making money. Dick Schultz emphasized that you have
to have people there who know what they’re doing, and there needs to be
worthwhile prizes to get people in the door. Don Gordon replied that it’s a
consensus feeling among the football club that no one wants to sell the
restaurant cards any more, and the Legion has offered their place on Monday
nights, which is where Bloom Carroll holds their Bingo and made $72,000 last
year. Don hopes to have it up and running in April, they are waiting on the
Attorney General’s office for the license.
Meeting
adjourned at 8:15pm. Next meeting
Sunday March 20th, 7:30pm.
