APRIL BOOSTER MINUTES
Attendance: Lisa Cray, Ed Hockenbury,
Betsy Hoehl, Nancy McSoley,
Sandy Sherman, Betsy Weischedel, Ross Kelley, Emily Danis, Dawn Grenn
Senior Ross Kelley came to
present his eagle scout project and request
funding. He will build three new picnic
tables and level the ground in between the grandstand and the hockey rink where
fans line the fence and children congregate during games. Part of this area will be made into a gravel
patio and part will be seeded with grass.
He is in need of $367 to fund the remainder of his project. Friends of Football also suggested a small
raised bed for bushes next to the grandstand ramp next to the concession
stand. Construction will take place in
May.
Emily Danis,
varsity girls lacrosse coach, requested $550 for new
JV uniform shirts. There are more girls
on JV than varsity as a rule, so they do not usually pass down varsity
uniforms. The current jv shirts are 10-12 years old and
the numbers are dwindling due to wear, injury necessitated destruction, and non-returns. A new set will cost them about $1050. They have fund raised $500.
Treasurers report—there is
$20,829 in the checking account. That
may not include Lisa’s clothing deposit of $1,300 after the conference sales.
Yearbook is putting
together a spring sports supplement that will cost $1,600. They are looking for $750. Ed will give them $250, he asked Athletic
Leadership Council if they would give $250, and asked if Boosters would give $250. It would include pictures of all spring
sports teams and would go to everyone who purchases a yearbook.
The Hershey Track Meet,
sponsored by the Essex Rec Dept will be July 11th. We have 8 teams interested in it as a fund
raiser. Betsy will e-mail the teams
asking why they would like this as a fund raiser and we will decide which team
will get it. We could also make the girls soccer jamboree concession stand and the wrestling
tournament available to one of these teams.
August 29th is the girls soccer
jamboree and there may also be a home football scrimmage that day.
Hockey concessions
update. There is a possibility that a
cart will be available for hockey game concessions next year. Boosters would not like to take on the
staffing of the 20+ games. ROTC has
expressed an interest in doing this. Ed
will tell them it is okay with us.
