Owen presented to give on-staff coaches new apparel. For 23 coaches it would be approximately $2300 per year (each coach would get the same non-sports specific item). He will do the leg work, just needs our approval.
-
Owen informed us the school is looking to pull their portion of paying for the summer Rozy program-approximately $3000. Would the Booster Club be willing to possibly pick that cost up, so the student cost stays the same. He will send information to Jeff in regards to how many students attend and what the amount would go up per student.
