MEETINGS

All proceeds from our concessions and fund raisers will go towards the Jr. High Banquet. This year the banquet will be for all students both athletic and academic awards will be given out.

All donations are greatly appreciated, if it is not donated then it comes out of the student fund to buy the supplies needed. Look for a sign up sheet in Monday's concession stand. Many other supplies are needed.

We discussed what items to sale at concession stands and determined that we need to offer meal deals to teams and try to boost our sales.

Since the boys are playing one place and the girls the other, it is going to be difficult to have concession workers.-- Need Parent Volunteers!

Our tournament will hopefully bring in enough money to make up the difference in the low sales at the weekly games. We will also gain Freshman/Jv White games after Christmas.

Our banquet will be April 16th, 2011 at the Event Center aka "Parish Hall".

Committees were formed. A complete list will be added soon.
