  • Discussion Topics/Updates

    • Cookie dough fundraiser: Was somewhat discouraging to Rob Goss (20 kids sold, 40 kids registered, 150 fall athletes). He encouraged kids who’ve gone to camps to do it and some chose not to. This year emailed students. Next year will do FaceBook link as well. Not sure how much was made yet; not finished yet. It was all online this year. Would like to do this fundraiser again.

    • Can & bottle drive: Matt Macaulay called and left message with Griffs (Carthage). They will send truck and park it to be filled for donations. Advertise and canvas town that day. Good to have kids show up and help.

    • Fall concessions: Thank you to Laura Dening for behind the scenes work. Laura O’Brien is scheduler for volunteers for events.

    • Clothing sale: Store is online now (11/1/21-11/15/21). Early because of inventory shortage. Still possible that items will be delayed. Scholasticsportssales.com Will be put on FaceBook by Laura Dening.

  • New Business

    • Elections: All in favor for:

President – Matt Macaulay

Vice President – Ron Thomas

Treasurer – Shawn Macaulay

  • Winter concessions: not sure if it’s worth it to open. Maybe plan a minimum of popcorn and soda and sell remaining candy. Rob said Athletic Leadership Group can clean concession stand.

  • Website: Matt Macaulay will coordinate.

  • Other: Kinneys made a water donation. Sherry Beyer suggested getting a larger, grandiose flag for the turf area. Elks? Suggested to ask Roger Jones what might work.
