Full Minutes with Notes from AD
Old Business:
Walkway Update and Recognition: Brad will take in the plaques that are sitting on the walkway completed and then we will have Luke install them in the spring and replace any cracked ones.
Hall of Fame: All the Hall of Fame plaques are installed. The Hall of Fame wall may be moved with the referendum remodeling to the grand entrance along with other plaques such as regional ones on the wall by the gym.
Athletic Trainer: Jill Timm is wondering if we would have money in our budget to purchase a table for her to work on kids during athletic events, such as football, along with other supplies such as splints. Approximate cost would be $500.00. A motion was made by Mary, second by Brianna for an allotment of $1,000 to purchase the table and other supplies that she needs. Not all supplies have to be purchased now, as we will set aside $1,000 until she uses it all. All were in favor.
Booster Club T-Shirts: At the last meeting we picked the neon green T-Shirts to purchase for Booster Club Members and others that help us at many events. An invoice of approximately $250.00 was given for the purchase. A motion was made by Heather, second by Dan Botting to purchase the shirts for the Booster Club Members. All were in favor.
Scholarship Committee: Brad and Pat have volunteered to form a scholarship committee and bring back the procedure to the Booster Club to give out scholarships and then we will discuss the amounts.
Youth Flag Football: At this time, it appears that Youth Flag Football will be possibly run under another organization.
Website Update: The website is now up and running. Garret Griffin has created the website and the domain of www.manawaathleticboosterclub.org. He has given us a proposal to maintain and train us on the website. Motion was made by Betsy, second by Heather to approve $300.00 for the first year’s Set Up, customization and training. All were in favor.
Wrestling Tournament: There are now 10 teams signed up. The refs and Mitch Patri are confirmed. Floyd Gerl and Jim Rill are volunteering their time for admission and Brad is working on getting table workers. Mary Johnson and Betsy Botting are running the Coaches Room. Mary Griffin still needs concession stand help for the day.
7-8th Grade Girls’ Basketball Tourney: Pat reported that participation is low this year. He will decide in the next week or two how he wishes to proceed.
Middle School Basketball Shorts: Middle School Basketball shorts were purchased by the Booster Club to complete their uniforms. Skylar is working with Badger to see if we can get some smaller sizes to accommodate the team.
Coaches Budgets for 2019: Skylar is working on the new budgets with coaches.
New Business:
Manawa Cowboys: The Manawa Cowboys can no longer store their equipment at the school as they were just informed. They were given an alternate spot at the school but it was not feasible for them to store their equipment there. Malia Ryan at Manawa Storage was able to work out a deal with them to give them a storage unit if they would pay for the cost of a field sign on the football field for her. This would cost half of what the yearly storage fee would be. It was discussed and a motion was made by Heather, second by Brenda that we would keep the first year’s cost of $300 to purchase the sign and then for as long as Malia gives the Manawa Cowboy’s the storage unit we will not charge the Cowboy’s the renewal fee. All were in favor.
Mat Light for Wrestling: There was a discussion on the mat light for wrestling. We will continue to discuss after we get bids and the asbestos test comes back.
3-3 Tournament: The Chamber is inquiring about a partnership and possibly moving downtown. This was tabled for now.
Bleacher Seats for Scorekeepers in the Gym: A motion was made by Sheri and second by Randy to donate 3 bleacher seats for scorekeepers in the LWHS gym. Heather will get them embroidered with Scorekeepers on them. All were in favor.
Basketball Towels and Basketball Whiteboard: A motion was made by Heather, second by Brad to spend up to $400 to purchase Bench Towel’s for Boys and Girls Basketball. All were in favor. The Whiteboard was put on hold for next time.
The next meeting will be on Wednesday, December 5th, 2018 at 6:30 at LWHS (Mr. Ziemer’s Room)
Motion to adjourn by Heather, second by Brenda. All were in Favor.
