Rock Shop
Dave noted that he had gotten in his first batch of stuff from Herman’s (about $1,500 worth) with plenty of room to put things away with the flags out getting cleaned. His Sports Depot items will be coming in the next few weeks and the VISA card machine is good to go.
Concessions
Kevin reported that he is gearing up for the season. In addition to four home game we will also so two Alleman games as they have two dates they can’t get into Augustana. He noted since we will provide the product and the workers we’ll keep all the money. He also noted we have the battle of the bands and the Rocky/Alleman alumni game (on a Sunday).
Old Business
Raffle tickets are ready to pick up, we’ll have them available at home football games and out at the schools.
New Business

The girls bowling team asked for a donation for $300.00, Doug made a motion to make the donation, Jim V 2nd, and the motion passed.
