                D.            Spirit-Wear

                                                Jennifer was working on samples, but ran into a glitch.  The thinking was that we needed to hold off on purchasing merchandise until IRS came through.  Andrea M. said we need to go ahead and order so we have something to sell on September 15 at the first home football game.  Andrea will get the sweatshirts ordered, gray bird on blue sweatshirt and red on black.  Bret L. made a motion to buy the spirit wear when we know the balance of our operating budget and the Board can make the decision of how much to spend of the $1500 approved for purchasing.  Michael M. seconded it and it passed.  Suzanne M. is also looking into ponchos and Melanie into glow sticks to sell at the games.

                B.            Proposed Operating Budget: 
                               Motion to Approve Operating Budget: Melanie E. 2nd: Michael M.
