New Business

There was a presentation from American Screen Printing to ask the Cougar Boosters to use their service to set up an Internet store to order Cougar Wear. They would provide this service and Cougar Boosters would be given a percentage for all items sold. They would also like to be our supplier for our stock at school. The Cougar Wear committee will need to breakdown all of our pricing and quality of stock and compare the company to our existing vendor.

Mr. Voda presented a vendor that would put up plastic lettering onto our Stadium Building saying, COUGAR COUNTRY at a cost of $975.00 installed. This would be a nice addition and can be seen from Ridge road. Mrs. Sanchez motioned and all voted "Yes." Motion passed.

Kevin Voda motioned to adjourn the meeting at 8:59.

The next Cougar Booster meeting will be held on October 1, at 7:00 at Plainfield South High School in the cafeteria.
