B.
Pasta Dinner: Everyone loved the way we stepped
it up. Aaron now has 55 entries who want
to do solo’s for next year. No one got
the 2 different times for dinner. We now
want to have it as one event. Dinner and
Dance. We will raise the price and have
it as a 3 hour event. We can also bring
in Jazz bands from other schools to perform.
We want to rent the kitchen for 2 hours too.
C.
Tacoma Dome shows Done: Bull Riders and George Strait. There was a concern about the tips. It was not made clear how this was to be
done. We understood that the tips would
be divided 3 ways only. Then at the last
show at the last minute we were asked to divide them in percentage of how many
people each group had show up. This was
discussed and then decided that we would just divide the tips 3 ways only.
