NEW BUSINESS
MS CROSS COUNTRY TIMER: Mr. Price asked if boosters would consider making a donation of the timer which includes print out information. He has been using Crescent City’s timer and it works well. The cost is $379. This is the first year for MS cross country and the sport had no start-up costs. The track team could use the timer as well. Melody moved to pay for the cost of the timer. Matt seconded. Motion passed.
PTT CONCESSIONS/Popcorn & Oil Use: Anne talked with PTT and told them they could use the popcorn and oil for a $15 approx. donation. They agreed to do so.
MS DANCE CONCESSIONS: Ms. Giles would like to use the concessions since it is already stocked on site and available. They won’t keep profit; it’s just handy for them to use. Boosters agreed to allow them to do so.
MS SHELVING UNIT: Ginger moved shelving unit from her room into concession. Anne replaced it with available vouchers that she had that were already approved and left over from the outdoor concession project. There was additional discussion on what else needs to be done. Ginger will mount “IW Booster” sign on back wall. Anne will bring more water to MS.
