Responsibilityof teams to communicate if unable to show up. Team liaison is a good suggestion.

Great news! Sales and attendance are up. This means we will need two Managers and two Bankers to handle the increase. Bingo Door – 5:30 pm & Instants at 5pm

Priority – need volunteers!! Bingo is our biggest fundraiser.

Suggestion – ask that Coaches communicate that volunteering is “mandatory”. Need a full staff of volunteers in order to make more money on Bingo nights.

Old Business:

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - Boosters communicate via WE/North website, FB page, Booster email distro, Principal email distro,North events.

How do we further communicate ALL that Boosters does and has donated. Need to get the word out even more so everyone knows how much time and work goes into benefiting ALL students at North High.

New Business: Volunteers needed for Fall sports along with Bingo.

*Put in the sign up genius what group you are volunteering for; AfterProm, Booster scholarship, boosters, etc.

Concessions -

Volunteers needed! Boosters continue to send out communications with sign up links.

Suggestion - Sports can switch and fill in for each other ex: girls basketball & boys soccer

New popcorn machine coming!
