FEBRUARY BOOSTER MINUTES

 

Attendance:  Lisa Cray, Ed Hockenbury, Betsy Hoehl, Nancy Sheldon McSoley, Sandy Sherman, Betsy Weischedel

 

Ed asked for funding for 8 athletes to attend the athletic leadership workshop at the Sheraton on March 11.

 

Will we be funding athletes to winter New Englands.

 

Did we approve Sheila Stawinski for the full year of captains’ training?  Yes, in September we approved $4,500 for the full year.

 

Bruce Brown will be presenting at the athletic leadership workshop and the Positive Youth Sports Alliance of Essex is sponsoring him to present a workshop to local parents and coaches from 6 to 8 in the EHS cafeteria and auditorium.  It is appropriate for parents and coaches of youth through varsity level.  Try to get the word out to parents.

 

The summer Hershey track meet is 7/ll.  We need to find someone to do the concession stand.

 

Spring concessions will include 4 lacrosse games, 5 track meets, and middle school track meets.

 

At Christmas time, Lisa donated t-shirts, flip-flops for 5 or 6 kids for families who were in need.

 

The Sports Management class is looking for projects if anyone has any ideas for them.

 

Athletic Dept. would like to purchase two basic spinning bikes for athlete rehab.  They would be stored in the outdoor huts in the spring so that athletes can use them on the sidelines if they are unable to play and are in rehab.  Will boosters pay for one?  Approx. $399 each.

 

Probable playoff schedule and concession needs discussed.  Rescheduling of concessions due to cancelled games has been a nightmare.

 

The spring coaches meeting is Wednesday, March 4.

Meet the coaches night is Tuesday, April 7 at 6:30.

 

Next booster meeting, Tuesday, April 7 at 5:30.
