Old Business:

·Terry checked out the nacho containers at the high school. They are much better than what we have and are cost effective: but, since we have an abundant supply of boats it was decided to wait before we order this type of containers.

·Deb- make snack shack schedule and gave to cheering for sign ups and then to Libby

·Suggestion to get rolling bags for team equipment @ $100/bag from LL Bean. We went over the list with Craig and this is what was decided.

·Ski team request

oDave would like to purchase Swix Cruising pants for the skiers (black) @ $60/pr – Dave wasn’t able to find enough quality pants in the sizes we need. We will place an order next year for kids. Maybe the kids can order for themselves

oBooster will buy hats for the team – The kids decided on headbands – The ski team says “Thank You!”. We will look into getting ventilated ski hats in addition next year since the headbands weren’t quite enough to keep the heads warm.

New Business:

·Popcorn machine – our popcorn machine has a heating element gone which will cost about $60 to repair. We have the opportunity to sell our old popcorn machine for $25 and buy the high school machine (which is a much better machine) for $100. Yes vote to go forward with the deal.

We have sign up sheets available for help at the concession stand at the Boys and Girls home basketball games. Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles of ball players and cheerleaders - you are all welcome join us. We need help at the stand and also with baked goods. Please see Libby Martin or Deb Morang to get on the sign up list. If we don't get the volunteers needed, the stand will be closed for that game leaving players and fans without food or drinks. The money goes to our athletes to help buy equipment and supplies that the school budget does not cover. Every team is supported if they have a need. Boosters purchase new basketballs each year for both boys and girls teams. We purchase new bats for baseball and softball. We were able to start a crosscountry ski team last year and purchase warm up jackets and ski waxes for them. Cheerleaders competition music and hair stuff were paid for through these concessions. The list goes on..... Let's support our young athletes and continue sports at DMS! Thanks in advance for your help. Many hands make the load light.
