Stating it will be a good opportunity to raise money without having to rely on our own football families. Profit Goal is $1000.  Ron will oversee the project, take care of purchasing food items, and gathering volunteers.  He also proposed using the funds that are made that day be put into a scholarship fund for our graduating football seniors.  Details of who would receive the scholarship will be determined at a later date, but it will be academic based.  A motion was made to underwrite a concession stand @ the Girls Soccer Fest with profits to be used for a scholarship fund and it was accepted unanimously.
2. Football:  Dates:July 13^th will be a passing league in New Canaan (participation has already been paid for by TD Club). Aug 14^th is first formal day of practice with Aug. 29^th being the first day of school. They will be following the new Korey Stringer Rule re: shoulder pad usage and double sessions at the beginning of the season. Boys have received summer schedule of their practices and additional passing league camp dates.  The HS staff and players will take an active role in the youth program for the first 2 weeks of GYF practices for which the boys can get community service hours for.
3. Scissor Lift:  Coach readdressed his desire to get a scissor lift to film practices and end zone shots.  He asked if the TD club could help provide it through purchase or rental.  Further investigation as to cost/E-bay research/what other universities utilize/used deals etc. needs to be done prior to making a decision.  It was suggested to put it out to the robotics club to see if they could come up with a proto-type camera on a pole to help.
4. Handling of Uniforms:  Discussed how uniforms have been handled and washed in the past.  It was suggested that the players take on the responsibility of caring for and washing their own jersey instead of having a cleaning service or a parent washing them all.  To be addressed with Coach.
