The meeting was opened at 2:37 pm by President Warren Settles. He introduced the board members including the committee chairs.

Our trailer is just about complete. Warren shared who has been responsible for the trailer in a shout out. Daryl Flood and Chris Siler for the trailer. Klein Crossing Dental for their donation. Mudd Dog Graphics for the installation of the wrap. Flower Foods and Brian Rodnicki for the ramp. Ron and his son plus Warren spent over 350 hours building the inside of the trailer. Also, the King family donated the small trailer. This one will also be wrapped by Mudd Dog Graphics. 

Treasurer Roni Tucker reminded people to put their child’s name and what the check is for in the memo section of their check. Our band runs on the finances that we give via the participation fees. Please stay current and turn your funds in on time.

The mattress fundraiser meeting is Tuesday, August 20 at 7:00 PM. We can raise $500 just at this meeting! We will get yard signs, pamphlets and other information to share. Last year we raised just shy of $12,000 on this fundraiser. We can do more this year!

A reminder was shared to all about needing to sign up to be an approved volunteer in order to chaperone. Chaperone sign ups will be sent out from Michele Poe via sign up genius.

If you need to sign up your child for Game Day meals you will need to contact Lenny’s directly located at Spring Cypress and Champion Forest. It is behind the McDonald’s.
