I wasn't really enthusiastic about attending the meetings last night. Went to Caribou and got a mocha and a scone. I figured if I was going to sit through it, I may as well enjoy something to snack on!
The meetings exceeded my expectations, and I was glad I was there. We spent the first hour discussing boosters involvement in donating money to the school district for facility improvements. The district got a 6-figure grant from Hennepin County. This pays for lights and other improvements for the Central Park fields.
Our superintendent, Dr. Rod Thompson, and athletic director, Troy Urdahl addressed us during the second hour. I enjoyed listening to their vision for athletics in the community. They talked about a philosophical shift in allowing boosters and other community groups into the high school. Really exciting stuff.
Then came the annual meeting. We voted in officers for this next year. The current officers are staying in for another year, so it's nice to have some continuity. That was about it. Meeting ended quickly enough.
Last, we had our regular monthly business meeting at the end! We had already been there for more than two hours. So, we cut this last meeting real short. We just approved the treasurer's report and adjourned the meeting.
