Old Business

Kathy McTigue discussed the fund raising opportunity that the North teams have with I.U. home games by assisting with parking, ushering and taking tickets. The teams need to commit to at least 7 games and certain dress and age requirements must be meant. Due to the constraints of the time of the shifts and weather conditions there was concern as to whether this was a commitment that could be honored completely. Kathy said that a date of November 14^th would be set for teams to commit by or we (the Booster Club) would not do it.
