SUPPORTING THE PURSUIT OF
ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE!
I. APPROVAL OF APRIL MEETING MINUTES
The meeting was held in Rm B3 and called to order at
II. MAY FINANCE REPORT
Beth addressed the May Finance Report, noting the total balance for all team accounts to be $106,441.36, noting income from the Blue and Gold Auction to be $ 37,158.
III. TEAM DISTRIBUTIONS
The next topic of discussion was the second semester team distributions. Monies available for distribution from Blue & Gold totaled $17,600. From this amount, $1150 was set aside for distribution as follows: $400 Wagner raft trip/swim team, $450 Girls' tennis/3 team tables, $150 Girls' basketball/team table, $150 Carvalho's Friend of a Feather/cheer team table. This left $16,450 available for team distribution based on Blue & Gold participation.
Officer incentive distributions were then reviewed. A maximum of $4200 was allotted for officer participation, each officer being allowed $700, with a $700 cap per team. Gayle Nelson requested her $700 allocation be given entirely to boys' soccer rather than split between boys' soccer and boys' volleyball, since boys' volleyball was already capped at $700. Beth agreed, and corrected proposed year-end distributions accordingly.
Finally, in regard to team distributions, Beth explained that a new account would be created for Lacrosse in the amount of $1135, but this account would be moved to the General Fund at the end of July 2008 if Lacrosse has not by that time been sanctioned as an Oak Ridge High School sport.
Prior to moving on to the next item on the agenda, Beth read the Spring Sports Results that were presented to her during the meeting.

VI. OTHER
A committee was formed to meet over the summer and discuss how team distributions should be made in the future. Committee members include Ralph Clark, Susan Spink, Bill Wagner, Mike Hall, and Steve White.
VII. BASEBALL ISSUE
Bill Wagner asked to discuss the "Field of Dreams" project. Beth reiterated discussion in meeting held in Steve Wehr's office immediately prior to the Booster meeting. She said Boosters was willing to work with baseball to come up with a solution but that in no way should other sports be impacted. Dan Sozzi, one of the parents largely responsible for the Mercedes fundraiser to raise money for the "Field of Dreams" project, expressed his frustration that none of the money raised was used for the purpose intended. Jerry Jolly said he was willing to talk to members of the original project committee to see how many still felt strongly about moving forward with the project. Dan said he would like to see the project move forward through the summer, since much of the work will be more difficult to accomplish during the winter months. Bill Wagner said he could have a plan by the end of June.
VIII. PRESENTATION OF PLAQUE TO RETIRING PRESIDENT
Steve White presented Beth with a plaque and thanked her for her service to Boosters. He commended her for retiring the stadium debt.
