We need to check on outlets for the hot dog machine and the popcorn machine. SVRC is allowing us to use their skates. If we have some milk crates that we can have them for kids to learn to skate with. Alison will get funds for the cash box. We want to make sure that we make decisions as a team and it was unclear how we had definitely decided to do. Sue will get popcorn bags. Alison will ask Johnna about napkins and cups. Amber will get ketchup and mustard. Alison will get relish. Angie will get the hotdogs and buns. $1.00 for hotdog and $.50 for cocoa and popcorn. Amber
