Funding Request Presentations:
Coach Willis, head coach for girls softball was present to update us on the progress of the softball shed. He has met with Kevin Dalton of Dalton Builders and they have finalized plans for the shed and plans have been approved by the ROE. He didn't know how to go about purchasing the products needed and Marg told him to purchase the products and present Leigh with an invoice and we will reimburse him. He also presented us with a proposal to purchase softball equipment bags for his varsity team. He would like to improve the look and image of the program. The cost is $1079.84 and softball would contribute $300 so he is asking for $779.84 from boosters.

Athletic Director's Report:
Kaneland has been asked too host a girls soccer tournament on May 7th and 8th and would like us to do concessions. After discussion, we have to decline as it is not feasible to set up and run concessions with what is available at the soccer fields. Leigh presented a proposal to have us rent portable bleachers for the home football games next fall. The bleachers seat 472 people . The cost would be $8070 plus tax. We tabled the discussion until next meeting but Leigh needs to know then. Currently, Kaneland has one of the smallest seating capacity for football of the schools in our new conference.

Marg brought up the question presented to us at a prior meeting by the coaches as to the boosters purchasing cloth for the athletes. Currently, our bylaws state we do not do this. She believes that by changing our bylaws in the future to purchase cloth, we will deplete our funds quicker and should keep the bylaws as is and purchase supply items for the programs. Leigh agreed to present this to her coaches at her next meeting.

Leigh reported the sound system is still on hold and she is currently looking at other options.
