    The wrestling tournament is scheduled for December 29th and 30th and has approximately 40 teams participating.

    Dan asked for some help and support for the winter concession stands. The Boosters may help out with this task. Linda Hagen will meet with Dan to iron out the details.

    Lacrosse meetings are progressing and a cost estimate for playing this new club sport should be available soon. We are still looking for a coach, so this year may be a learning experience for us to prepare for next year's season.
