Business:
Minds in Motion: $300.00 was donated by the Boosters
to the Minds in Motion academic recognition program held October 1 at the
Polo Shirts: Many Booster members have inquired
about Booster T-Shirts. Bob Ingram contacted Alex, who we have worked with in
the past. He can get red or blue shirts for $27.50 each including tax and
embroidery. It will take 4-6 working days to deliver the shirts once we place
the order. Bob will bring order forms Friday and Saturday. Doc wants to order
blue for the staff. Minimum order is 12. An order form will be distributed to
parents.
Storage Unit: Bob Ingram checked to see if we could
permanently place a cargo storage unit on campus to allow us to end our use of
the paid off-campus storage unit we are now using. He found a company that will
sell us one for $2200.00 including paint, leveling and installation. We would
add interior shelving. The unit would give us easier access and cost less in
the long run. Waiting for OK from Mr. Biera.
