Committees:
Fund Raising: The John O’Donnell concessions will be handled differently this summer according to the stadium supervisor. We will be in need of more workers and will plan on working the grill stand and the pizza stand. April 29th, 2004 is opening day and we will need a count of people that will be interested in doing this fundraiser. It was noted that students need to be at least 15 years of age. It was also suggested that a “sub” list be created in the event there is a shortage of workers for that night.
