Todd Arseneau for Outdoor Athletic Club:
To build stewardship for students with nature. So far 23 kids signed up. Would like PAC to purchase strength and cardio training equipment so the kids are prepared for hikes and outdoor activities involved with the club. They will also be learning first aid and wilderness training. Todd has asked for: 2 racks of bar bells, bench press, set of dumb bells, chin up bar, and if possible stationary bike. After some discussion if was asked if Todd could submit a list of the items and their prices for the PAC.

Not much to report as this is the first meeting.
Treasurer’s Report:
Jenny Goertz was not present but had submitted the financials. General account is $14,614.99 and Gaming is $15,778.97. Went over proposed budget and Shelley moved to have $2000.00 (to be spent on two stationary bikes) from general and $1000.00 (misc. workout equipment) from gaming to go towards Todd’s outdoor club. The reason for the split is that the stationary bike(s) would be able to be used not just for extracurricular for a total of $3000.00. Theresa seconded and all were in favor.
Theresa moved to have $5000.00 from gaming for musical. Michelle seconded and all were in favor.
Lorisa moved to accept the budget and Tanya seconded and all were in favor.
DPAC Report:
Theresa will still be our DPAC rep and next meeting is Oct 24th at school board office at 7pm.
New Business:
Christmas Craft Fair is happening again. It was a huge success last year!! So far 9 tables booked and paid for. Most other tables booked and cheques in the mail.
Non fundraiser of $20 for families has had no bad feedback so far. Lots of nice comments from parents in the envelopes. Some divisions we have had nothing back from? Charlotte will be looking into that. Approximately $2100.00 raised so far.
