distributed.
- Concession Stand Expansion: Wes has not yet heard from Larry Pyle regarding the plans. Lois reported that she got a fire door/steel door donated.
- Trophy Cases: Discussion took place regarding where to put additional trophy cases. Chuck reported that if you are in the concession stand looking out, our newest case is on the home side of the gym. We may do the same on the left side of the gym. We have many trophies that need a space. Our last trophy case cost
- approximately $1400, and the wood had been donated. We’re not sure if we can get the wood donated again this time. Issues are that we do not have a lot of space to work with in finding locations for new trophy cases. Steve Linder and Bob Mayer stated that this could be a good Eagle Scout service project. Steve reported that he received a thank you note from the MS Cheerleaders for displaying their trophy.

Decision needs to be made regarding what to do with this money. We need to explore the possibility of this money being used toward helping PTA with spiritwear.
