l For Fall Supper ’09 have applied for more money on grant to possibly get an Astrojump or similar activity for kids
j.) Rink
l people want keys to shack, we have responsibility if shack is open so there needs to be a supervisor present if shack is open
need a statement of policy for safety reasons
put a notice in newsletter to contact Jorgen if interested in supervising
will get both locks changed, only rink supervisors, flooders and Jorgen will have keys
maybe create a sign-up sheet for supervision for people to get a key
l need a bench outside for people to put on skates
l shack materials came to just under $4000, about $198 over budget
future improvements: need to decide before grant deadlines
