Last year boosters gave Gatorade, power bars and fruit. Matt Clark moved to provide snacks and beverages. Kim seconded; all in favor. Regarding an ad in the state program, discussions were that historically that has not been done. Consensus was to provide snacks and drinks for the finalists instead of an ad.

AD SALES UPDATE: Matt and Mike met with DJ and the football team. Letters are ready. Phone calls will be done the week of June 3rd and then the football players will go out the following week. Gibson Hospital will be on a sign at the end zone as a result of their monetary donation and the $100 per touchdown.
CONCESSION PRICING: Review will be done through committee. Committee TBD after the June elections.
BUDGET: Future major projects include: sprinkler system for the athletic field (need information by the June meeting); batting cages; football score board; sound system at the middle school; and uniforms. Concerning uniforms, boosters need to review the amount that we give to the school each year and determine if separate amounts need to be given to the high school and middle school. Suggestion given to pair up with music boosters to work on a new sound system.
ROUND TABLE: Request to better utilize technology. Can we coordinate with Hanns? Other districts have done much more with their website and social media. Karla will speak to Linda about possible options with the students.
Matt moved to adjourn.
