Treasurer's Report: Motion to accept by Robin Tupper 1st by Karen Whitney, 2nd by Aline Strout, motion passed.
Old Business:
1. Homecoming - Aline Strout and Karen Whitney reported on the Pep Rally , they both were in agreement that it went well.  The students enjoyed the goat.  The football team were the winners and had to "Kiss the Goat".  The field decorations looked great. The carnival games did not go as well as the team building events, so next year some suggestions were to have more team building events along with maybe a volleyball game.  Karen Whitney and Jamey Martin thought that it was a good idea to keep the concession open during the events.  The students enjoyed having the silent auction outside  with the music.  Stephanie Doughty reported on the KFC dinner  via e-mail as she was unable to attend this meeting.  The feedback that she got on the dinner was very postive.  People really seemed to enjoy the dinner, she also sugguested if the KFC dinner is done next year that maybe the Boosters should charge $6.00 instead of $5.00.  It was also suggested not only to pre-sell the tickets but also to buy extra so that they can be sold at the door.
2. Concessions -
Football/Soccer concession - The holding tank at the FB shack had to be pumped out at the FB game on 10/8/07.  This was the second pump in two weeks.  We are not sure if it is because of all the usage or if there is ground water getting in from the soccer field.  It was suggested that the Boosters charge a usage fee for those organizations that use our facilities.  This issue will be tabled for another meeting.  The alarm for the holding tank is still not wired yet.  We need to find someone to do this.  Mark Tupper is checking with someone who might possibly be able to put in the extension on the cover to the tank for us.  The fryolator that was purchased in the spring is not yet in use.  Downeast Engery is unable to install the fryolator for us.  With the fall season winding down, this issue will be tabled until August '08 to decide to sell the fryolator or find someone to install it for us.  Jamey Martin is still working on getting the ventilation fan installed in the FB shack.
FieldHockey/Baseball concession - The garage door is installed and and Daniele Kates and Jacquie McAtee have volunteered to paint the door.  A thank you to Jamey Martin and Norm Hall for cleaning this shack out.

New Business:
1. Senior Recognition Roses - all the roses will handed out by the end of the month at the athletes last home game.  The Boosters have received a lot of thank you's for this service.
2. Booster Polo Shirts - New polo shirts will be ordered  along with aprons that can be worn at the concessions.  Aline Strout will check on these items at Adept.  Mark Tupper will be checking on beanies that we would be able to sell.
3. Craft Fair - Kathi Yergin reported via e-mail as she was unable to attend this meeting.  The Craft Fair will be on December 1, 2007 from 9a.m.- 3p.m. in the cafeteria at the High School.  Seventy invitations have been sent out to former crafters.  Kathi has had ten crafters who have confirmed their definite attendance, and has received several calls about the fair.  Monica Millhime is going to invite all three school, as to give them a chance to get a table to help raise money for their class.  The Boosters will be selling  apparel, Jewelry by Jamey plus fleece blankets, and possibly LHS totes, camp chairs, and stainless steel travel coffee mugs.  So far each crafter is donating one item so that we will be able to raffle these items.  Santa will also be there to have his pictures taken with the children for a fee of $1.00.  Pam Fournier will be making a school colored scarf  to raffle also.  Christina Wilkens has volunteered to chair the concession at the fair.  The students will be asked again to help the crafters bring in their items from and back out to their cars.  This service was greatly appreciated last year.
4. Tennis Aide - The team is requesting a donation of $30.00 for a practice aid.  The motion to give the funds was made by  Robin Tupper and was 1st by Karen Whitney, 2nd by Aline Strout, motion passed.

6. Concessions&Calendars - Some of the winter sports have been put on the calendars. Any one wishing to help work them can sign up at
