 Committee Reports:

• Treasurer – Kate Rodriguez

  • Current balance is over $9000. Several outstanding items are remaining for this season with banquet events for each team, t-shirt expenses, and YouNameItSports for development of the game program.
     

• Clothing - Robin

  • Playoff t-shirts have been ordered and the extra homecoming shirts will be sold at the concession stand during the school carnival.
     

• Communications and Technology – Eric Sadlo reported on the need help from frosh and soph class. Dave Oznowitz has sent the scores for previous games and will do so after the remaining games.
   

• Concessions – Linda Price - report on concession from the (9/23) West game. West game profits were approximately $3300. Report on concessions during frosh and soph games. Need concession help with school carnival. Linda and Janie will get items to the concession stand. Ron will ask Ms. Ball about redeeming tickets after the carnival. We have enough volunteers to cover the event.
   

• End Zone Advertising - Dave Cobb

  • No report.
     

• Fund raising – Diane Nagy

  • Monical’s pizza night is scheduled for Wednesday, October 19. Fliers will be passed out at the varsity homecoming game on Friday evening as well as at the school carnival.
     

• Game Program – Ray Rapp.

  • Game programs will now be given away so we do not have to return money to advertisers due to a district agreement with Royal Publishing. Playoff posters will be ordered for the players.
     

• 50/50 - Greg Rodriguez.

  • All is going well – may need to make additional calls if there is a home playoff game or two.
     

• Tailgating/reserved parking - Eric Sadlo – Mike Steach

  • We need to be aware that the homecoming carnival does not end until 5:00 and there may be parking conflicts for this Friday night’s game.
     

• Team food - Greg Rodriguez

  • Noodles has volunteered coupons for the team for free entrees. We would like to do something for the frosh and soph teams. Special thanks to Dale Smith for being the Gatorade sponsor for the team. Gary will handle fruit and water for the freshmen game this Thursday afternoon. A post game homecoming meal is also being planned. Longhorn Smokehouse has offered to donate 50 barbecue sandwiches, chips, and cookie for the team post game event. FOIF will supplement those sandwiches with 30 additional sandwiches so coaches, players, and trainers can participate. Ron Dierkes has notified Coach Venerable of the plans, and the senior café has been reserved.
     

• Banquet stuff

  • Need senior parent volunteer to organize. This is still in the planning phase. We will communicate more as details become evident.
     

• Homecoming lights and decorations – Eric Sadlo

  • Eric is going to organize a team to put lights up near the football facility entrance again. Work will begin this Thursday around 4:30.
