Mark got confirmation for commission for the 20th anniversary. It will be written specifically for

this event

3

CV band will play, but Mark thought it would be good to also invite the alumni back

But we would need to get the word out quickly.

It will cost $2000-3000 to write the music

Wed (5/20) - Graduation is at 9 AM (maybe bring donuts)

If the school won’t cover a charter bus, maybe the boosters will be able to transport all the kids

Tuesday (5/19) 0 the night before there is a rehearsal, want to invite the alumni and then do an

event after the rehearsal

Should look into a potluck, banquet hall/event space, etc. to determine what type of event we

will want to do and whether or not we need to charge

Boosters agreed upon a cost of $25/person (so that we have the funds to cover food costs).

Mark looked at canopies. Most cost around a few thousand dollars ($2000 for a 10x10), but also

found some that were around $1000

Per discussion, given that we broke two canopies due to the wind this eason, we want some

that are heavier duty. Also would prefer 2 smaller canopies than a single larger one, so there is

more flexibility in what we put up.

15. Next Booster Meeting: January 7rd at 5PM

Leigh Wright, President, called the meeting to end at 5:53 PM
