She will ask Mr. Ehmen how the check should be written.

CONCESSION STAND WORK: (NOTE: Between meetings, officers voted and approved authorizing up to $1,500 to update the sink, countertop and faucet in the outdoor concession stand. This was the result of broken pipes during the winter and other damage from water. ) The work has been completed and will probably come in under budget.

Mr. Dukes would like for us to consider putting sod where the new rock is. Boosters agreed to review it at the end of the season.
