*Unfinished Business – President Spera
a. Golf Tournament was a huge success. Several businesses and participants were extremely happy with how the tournament was run. Next year’s site is in question and the catering for the event will be in question also due to the Mohegan Sun ownership of the course. Fundraising must begin immediately.
b. The annual sponsor of the School Motivation presentation was a success. It was about Peer Pressures and how to work with the stresses in our lives.

*New Business
a. Mike Adams – Soccer Captain – presented about the new uniforms they requested from the PFO and explained how they each gave $40 towards the cost and collected monies for a student who could not financially pay for the uniforms. The PFO agreed to pay the remaining balance of around $1,000 for the uniforms made by UnderArmor.
b. Discussed the possibility of a pasta dinner by the soccer team.
c. Discussed that minutes and information will be on the website.
d. K. Passmore suggested that planning for the next year’s golf tournament should begin early. N. Spera said that we will discuss this on next meeting’s agenda. Donations from different companies, location, etc.
e. PFO table at basketball games selling soda, pizza, candy, etc. was discussed. Rotation of volunteers.
