|
● The following information shared with the group: Treasurer Report: We are on a fiscal year taxes are due Nov 15th and will be submitted this month. We have renewed website, insurance, and post office box. We will be using funds to restock concession to begin the season. In response, have we received any mail? Why do we still have the post office box? Ask Deborah is the post office box even necessary How much does the box cost?
● Maroon and Gold Day was engaging and a good time. There was better participation this year in comparison with last year. Still want to possibly coordinate with Open House to encourage Parent Participation. What happened to the hotdogs? Kids asked about the hot dogs and wondered why it was advertised but not given. Members stated that chicken was passed out instead. ● Travis was thanked for his publicizing via Instagram and encouraged to continue doing so moving forward. To also begin the positive publicizing via our website. ● We had no update shared in regards of additional items to sale for back to school. |
| ● Concessions Plan for Upcoming Year
● Fall Sports & Schedules

● Following information shared :We are required to have permits for concession stands sales and will have a surprise inspection some time during the year. We are looking for more adult volunteers, so we can be prepared and help student volunteers. I asked if we had any possible volunteers. Members responded with question of volunteers from church? Could outsiders volunteer? I stated we should start with the members present and at the table. I expressed that I would volunteer but my family and I already have chains every home game. Donna stated she needed to check her work schedule. It was suggested to ask for volunteers via the website and instagram. I stated if we do so, be sure to add CMS Volunteer form to the link. Any volunteer needs to be at the field by 5PM since the gates open 6PM.
● First football game is August 23, 2019 at 6PM ● First volleyball game and tennis match is August 20, 2019 and August 21, 2019 at 4PM Valerie Carrothers shared that we have 3 paid members as of right now.

Money collected by Valerie and given to Luckey in Deborah’s absence. It was noted that Open House is the same day as the first football game, August 23, 2019 at 4-6:30 PM.
