Booster Meeting

In Attendance: Joe Torres, Misti Torres, David Bostwick, Jodi Provence, Brandon Wallace & Kerry Wallace Topics of Discussion & Notes: Homecoming: Homecoming Parade is Wednesday, Oct 19 @ 515pm Do we want to put together a parade float? Majority says yes- due to the 8-9 senior kids on team we need to take into consideration this is their last year at MHS and also still need to let public know we have wresting available at both Youth and HS stages. Do we have time to get a float ready for all kids? Joe will contact Coach Reed and send out Remind text to all students for participation. We could take trailer to HS and allow kids to decorate there instead of a practice one night Will we reach out to the Youth Team, Midlo Wrestling Factory, to participate? Brandon will speak to Coach Wade regarding this and follow up w Joe Banners? Booster does not have money in account at this time to purchase banners, may be parent donations could be considered 2 trailers needed to accommodate – Joe will discuss w Coach Reed and ask for parent participation and also need another truck + trailer.
