Membership Report: Jane reported that there are 2 additional memberships. Dan Kalinsky will set up a booth at concessions at Friday's Basketball game for membership - Jane to make a poster for the booth to "join and get in free today".

Treasurer's Report: Doug Geib reported that are no big changes; we still have $50,000 in uncommitted funds; $15,000 is committed but not spent yet. Discussion to possibly set up and extra account for monies collected in membership for a future major expenditure (minus the expenses of membership). About $6,000 of collected $$ goes back to athletics, which could go back into fund also; i.e. old stadium renovation or artificial turf for high school football field. We still would have fundraisers for regular expenditures and allocations; could be a great long-term benefit to have available for long-term projects - will be brought up with executive board.
