Anne Divers opens meeting at 4:30 PM
Anne opens the meeting with middle  school will take some extra hats from Coach Skinner.  We gave MS extra jerseys unsure if they are baseball.  Last year new jersys were bought.  We had trouble getting them back.  We have to check if they were signed back in.  Should be in bin that was given to Lasher. Other things MS needs, field dirt, $7250.00. MS has no money, in the negative.  Wants Booster to pay.  The problem with that is county took over all our registrations,and our spiritwear when the went with Johnson&Lamb.  MS membership is dramatically lower than last year.  HS has increased every year.  We wil  have to get back to you. Lasher " Perri said  to put the fence on hold".  Blackwell Clarifiesies where fence is wanted.  
We are going over financials and renewing sponsorships.  Blackwell asks about Lawyer sponsorship.
Blackwell changed date for track from 3/21 to 3/22.
Heidi: General account: $43,026.04 
            Capital account $ 119,890.85
           Pay Pal $ 884.16
Anne: How do you think the burgers went over at track meet? Volunteers were great.  I think you sold about 80 burgers.
Allen:  I bet you made more money from burgers than you did food trucks 
Anne:  It depends, I'll reach out to Tony and Jersey Mike's and get numbers
Allen: I give them (coaches) the food but they have to buy their own drinks
Anne: We don't charge coaches, refs, or sheriffs for drinks.  Thats just our rule
Lasher: Did Perri reach out to you about concessions? 
Anne: I think we told her the PTSO can have it.  We had to bring everything from middle school.  Once kids had to be accompanied by a parent, concessions went from making $8-1200 to making $80.  We split the dates in the beginning however its not worth for us to do it.  We also emailed Perri about the Coke machines. We are getting rid of them. We refuse to give Coke $45. a case.  We pay $16.  In addition they haven't serviced the machines in 3 years, or maybe 9 years , before we took over.  We are waiting to hear what they are picking up Friday. We did reach out to Pepsi but he wants us to guarantee 3000 caes of soda in 5 years.  I don't us selling that.  We are still paying $10. over f we go with Pepsi.  So we are probably going to buy our own machines and we can sell whatever we want.   We don't have original contract from the old booster or Band.  Its a lot of work in concessions every refridgerator has a be at a certain temperature so we have to have a thermometer in each one.  Every food item that is opened had to used or thrown away if opened.   Usually we cook it off and give it to the custodians, we rather them have it.  Everything has to have a time written down, Its a 4 hour time limit for most of the food in there and every temperature needs to be monitored.  So if we buy our own coolers they come with it in there.  There is a lot of little rules.  The sink has to have a certain ratio of bleach in the bins. 
Tania is amazing, which you didn't thank her in our email, that woman runs that booth like she is restaurant manager.  All the volunteers disappear at the end of the event.  No help with clean up.  
 Blackwell:  with concessiond for sping,  do you know if you are going to have food trucks for certain stuff?
Anne:  Baseball and Softball, Tony (pizza) works better down there.  Skinner is great getting parents in there. Softball is not.  Skinner is on top of his stuff, He will get his parents to do it.  Ill leave it up to his team mom.  
Blackwell: if stadium games are going on we will open.
Anne: If Skinner wants it open, we will open, they are usually better with trucks.  If its 1 game going on, its worth for trucks to come.  For Clash we will figure it out.  Trucks were sold out last year by 12.  If we do burgers, we have to figure out how to stock it because last year we had restock it often.  The spot was good and tickets worked out well.
Probably not going with Pepsi, and we won't sign a contract. its unfair to the next booster.
Anne: Waxhaw PD presenting an award to Football.  Team cleaned up and brought their own equipment.  We have to get an exterminater for concessions. Each concession stand has 100, we clean constantly.  We have plug ins everywhere, they don't work.  
Heidi: Grate doesn't close flush. Other side there is a mud doppler.  Wrappers are left in garbage, candy wrappers left.
Anne:  Trying to get a blower for bleachers.  We are going to have it for spring.  It will be cleaner to blow it all to one side and pick it up that way.
 We need a new ice machine. Can you put another ice machine in there. We will buy it.  It would be nice to have 2 working machines. 
Blackwell: I'll see if I can get an answer for you.
Sent out a message to everybody for the basket.  Most teams are underway.
Anne: Probably going to have over 150 baskets.  Are we allowed to have alcohol in the baskets? We are not handing any alcohol to any kids. 
Blackwell: I will double check tomorrow.  
Anne: we will put out For Cheer coach this week.  We have a Foorball coach.  Boys Lacrosse is moved off site to CLA.  Parents are pissed, county took over sports and they are not competeing enough.   County will struggle getting money from Booster clubs.  There wwill be no money coming in.  Kids start going to outside sports and that effects HS sports.  We are already down 3 girls sports.  
Scoreboard and sound system. Can we get a definite answer?  We have the money and we will not be broke after it.  
We will reach out to Mr. Brooks and 
Also, we will have a T Shirt shooter for spring.

Anne closes meeting at 5:29 pm
