Community Partners:
Although the chain no longer requires shopper’s cards, Albertson’s tells
us they will continue to offer the Community Partners fundraiser. We will be
issued a new number and new cards. There was no response to our inquiry about
the program.
Business:
Polo Shirts: Many Booster members have inquired
about Booster T-Shirts. Bob Ingram contacted Alex, who we have worked with in
the past for prices, but he has not responded yet. It will take 4-6 working
days to deliver the shirts once we place the order.
Storage Unit: Bob Ingram checked to see if we could
permanently place a cargo storage unit on campus to allow us to end our use of
the paid off-campus storage unit we are now using. He found a company that will
sell us one for $2200.00 including paint, leveling and installation. We would
add interior shelving. The unit would give us easier access and cost less in
the long run. Waiting for OK from Mr. Biera.
Dues: Dues must be paid by October 9. Dues are $5.00
per person and must be paid in order for member to vote in the Board election
in November.
