October meeting minutes were read and approved.

FINANCE: Mary Hugo reported that with all expenses having been reported, our end balance was $114,314.00

MEMBERSHIP: MaryBeth reported that more letters had been sent for Winter/Spring recruitment to have names in the program. No responses had been returned, with the deadline being Friday, November 17. Membership numbers have remained the same. Items for LCD Ads need Father Morin’s approval. There were no new additions reported through the Booster Club. We decided to shorten the 2 min adds and Annette will handle. We discussed giving a break to $500 doners.

COMMUNITY BUILDING: The Thunderbolt scramble committee will meet again on 11/30 and work on adding additional members. Concerning the cookout, Barry will meet with George. George is looking at dates for the proposed track meet. Scott is working on a letter to assist in recognizing the unrecognized activities. There will be our free-will offering dinner on 12/9, prior to the Skutt basketball game. Flyers will be sent to Skutt and posters made for Pius. Greg will arrange for the food with George’s and Steve will arrange seating. There will also be a scrimmage the Saturday after Thanksgiving for the JV and Varsity teams.

CONCESSIONS: Mary Hugo is in the process of dividing up the workers so we have adequate coverage.

MERCHANDISE SALES: Loren reported that Kep Stadium Seats were $21.75 a piece with our logo costing $2.50 > 12 or $2.75 < 12. Committee approved getting 12 as a trial. He is also getting logos for the rock.

PROJECT UPDATE and COST: No news on stadium projects. Scott, Barry, George and Tim will meet on future capital projects.

NEW BUSINESS: Transportation request discussion was tabled .The theatre department requested funding for a 1 act play. Father will have it funded through the normal activity fees. Once the audit is complete, a decision will be made where the funding from the Booster Club will go or should funding come from activity fees.
The Grandmothers Fund Raiser was discussed and 2 dates were proposed, 12/15 and 1/26. MaryBeth is looking into coordinating a drawing at basketball games to win a mug or some token. There was a request made to George to supply 9th girls basketball team with new shorts for about $250. Request was approved. New mats were discussed for the old gym for about $800. Also discussed, was the possibility of purchasing new wrestling mats after the state meet. It would save us about $1000.

OLD BUSINESS: Activity passes were discussed. MaryBeth forwarded a proposal to Father Morin, included were results of our survey. Majority mentioned convenience as the biggest factor in consideration for a pass or card. A student only punch card for winter/spring activities would be $25 for 10 punches. There would be no refunds or replacements. The program would be administered through the office. It probably would not increase attendance, but we would also look at adults in the future. MaryBeth will work with the front office to administer. The proposal passed.

The meeting was ended with a prayer.

Respectfully submitted,
Greg Gibney
