The event consists of selling hamburgers and hot dogs and purchasing the necessary supplies that go along with that. We will post on Facebook looking for a volunteer.

E. 5K Run No update provided.
F. Apparel Committee: Cathy Korycki reported that the magnets were in and the bumper stickers are not. She showed the group the button down black cover up pants and everyone like them. Kathy talked with the group about getting blankets with just the word Lacrosse printed on them so they are generic enough that all teams at the tournament will be interested in buying them. The group agreed that this was a good idea.
V. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. End of Season Events The girls had their party at Leos and said that it was extremely successful. The boys are still deciding on a date to hold their event at the Riverfront.
B. The Treasurer brought up the point that we need to re-engage with the Board of Education to try and get the funding for the teams into the budget. The President mentioned that a committee had been formed once before but was not active at this time. It was decided that the committee should start to engage next year and a separate meeting will be held with interested members.

B. The Trestle will allow us to conduct a fundraiser at the restaurant on a Thursday night. We will be looking at dates in the near future. Ten percent of the tab will be donated to the booster club.
