TREASURERS REPORT (Lana Brindle)
Lana is absent.
Great winter season- all five teams won league
championships!! First time in history for swimming- way to go!! Cheerleading
finished second in the state competition. Great job for a second year school,
first year in the league. Spring sports
season starts this week with scrimmages for softball and baseball, Hammond
relays for track is this Saturday. Volleyball and tennis start in a week or so. Coach Langenderfer reports eight schools
will be here for Hammond Relays. There are 80 girls on the track team. North
will be hosting Division 3 regional track and field meet this year.
CONCESSION REPORT
Lynn has checks for clubs for concessions work, and they
were dispersed. Thanks to Lynn for running the winter concessions. Paul has
worked on a plan for keeping the concessions running for spring sports. They
are looking for someone to head the concessions for the fall. There will be a
short meeting after this one to coordinate concessions among baseball, softball
and track. The concessions trailer
should be here this week. It will be stationed at the softball diamonds. Greg
Boone reports they will, then, not be using the trailer, but will sell chips,
hotdogs, drinks, etc. from a station near the dugout, where electricity is
available. Greg requested athletic boosters purchase a refrigerator for
baseball to use, to prevent the hassle of lugging ice, hotdogs and drinks back
and forth. Lisa DeCarlo is calling Coke to find out if they can provide one.
Paul reports if Coke does not, then we will find another way of getting one.
Dick Schultz recommended renting a unit from Home City Ice, and they take care
of refilling the ice, and then there’s enough for the entire season.
SUBWAY
Subway has requested to become involved in
fundraising. Wants to hand out coupons, that will be money off a Sub, with a
portion of the savings to go to booster club.
Committee for Responsible Schools is working to pass the bond issue on the May ballot to build new
elementary schools. They have requested a donation from the Booster’s club to
assist them in their campaign. Paul asked for ideas- Greg Boone moved to make a
$2,000 donation, Marcia Stewart seconded. Motion approved.
Mark Aprile stated that Jim Nevius, the head baseball coach,
passed away two weeks ago. His family has requested that all donations be made
to the Diamond Club. The Diamond Club is working on establishing a scholarship
fund in his memory. Paul reports that Mark has pitched in and taken the
responsibility of head coach.
Bingo fundraising for QB club is just waiting on the
Attorney General’s approval.
