Two suggestions were brought up - a soft springboard gym floor and a tarp for the girls softball field.

Allocation Requests:

Boys volleyball is requesting money for fees for the officials and also $150 for a new ball cart.

Girls softball: The field needs a tarp for home plate and the batters box and the infield. We need more information and measurements from the coach. The scoreboard has been fixed twice but still needs a new sensor board to fix it properly.

Reverse Raffle /Silent Auction:

Ticket Sales - We still have 4 tables left to sell. We will try to make a push to sell these tickets. We will contact the fire and police departments.

Silent Auction - If anyone else wants to help Sat. evening, let Jan or Anne know. There are 137 donors and 83 items donated. Thanks to all members of this committee for their hard work.

The set-up committee is set and volunteers for the sideboards are set. There have been 40 ads sold for the program book, which will generate a little over $4000.

Because of a change in the Captains management, the program that our baseball team was scheduled to participate in on April 15 has been canceled. The team will still play in the Hardball Classic at Jacobs field on May 5th and also at a game in June.
