Hotel rooms were provided for the Girls' Basketball Team and coaches as they participated in the Girls' Basketball State Finals. Meals were provided to those wrestlers that participated in the Wrestling State Finals. No expenses to report from the Taste of Walther. There is a possibility that we could be reimbursed for portion of the hotel room and transportation since the entire team traveled Thursday for the participation of the three point shooting contest for one team member. B. Tuomi stated that he reviewed the Term & Conditions and did not locate any written clause pertaining to the above situation.

It was recommended that we invest in cleaning and mending our teams' uniforms professionally.

Concession Report: Two more Grade School Tournament: March 11 th & 12 th and March 18 th and March 19 th and the play the first weekend in May. It was suggested that we possible sell concession before the graduation ceremony.
Non-Concession Report: Taste of Walther is over. The best events at the Taste of Walther were the Salsa dance at the end of Walther. It was recommended that for next year when scheduling the Taste of Walther that we factor the holiday weekend, Wrestling State Tournament and the Sectionals for the Girls' Basketball Tournament. Also we need to established guidelines and portions of foods. Pricing was not in line with the portions of food. The vendors made the decision.
Wheels for Walther
Proposal was acceptance – Everything was great idea. Concerns with the brick paving around the concession stand made be the best location. The plan would be to have the brick goes from gate to gate and the design would be setup in clusters to establish two different directions (coming and going). School buy-in is still needed. Everyone involvement (role) needs to be pinpointed. Overall commitment is needed. J. Edwards will follow up with D. Gillingham with regards to the plan. S. Berg volunteered to work with the school on the fundraiser ideas.
Old Business:
• Mini Bus – Repairs: Awaiting the final parts before completed repairs. Coaches have received their CDL permits. Portable lights are scheduled for the game against Rockford Lutheran on September 22, 2006. We are waiting pending approval from the mayor office. We are seeking sponsor for the twelve portable lights that are needed for the night game on September 22 nd . The cost will be approximately $125.
New Business:
• Price Quote was presented for Walkie/Talkie. Cost approximately $1632 for six Walkie/Talkie. It was suggested that the booster and school could split the cost for the Walkie/Talkie and share the use of the Walkie/Talkie.
