Rob Smith behind in procuring needed paperwork, but contact made and he is going to work through in a time-frame that will not delay the event. Group suggested that a 3-4 week would be needed to sell all of the tickets. Karina to contact Milford fire to make sure that there is still availability. Date should be either weekend before Easter or the one following, but not on Easter weekend
The Lions club donated the raffle turnstile and Keith Inglin volunteer to fix and redo the wheel. Discussion on the state of the economy and if the ticket price would be more saleable if changed. Agreed that $25.00 per ticket would remain, but be investigated in the future.
Terrier Center
Preliminary presentation on what operational cost would be, the size of the building, and some of the larger details of its configuration.
The building would have an occupancy of one to three thousand people. Due to costs some items like shower would need to be scaled back. Water needs are a large factor in building use and size.
General estimate for construction of the structure would be 1M.
Cost estimates - monthly
Heat $700 (No AC Spec’d)
Insurance (between) $350.-$425
Alarm System $110.
To finance the project two homes would be raffled off on the internet. There would need to be 20,000 tickets offered at $100.00 each. There are similar sold out raffles on the internet.
After much discussion group decided that the project is so big in scope that it should be tabled for a special meeting.

American Flag Light in Gym
Keith Inglin brought up that he has been in discussion with the Athletic Director (Sue Hammerstone) about lighting the American Flag during the matches that are held at night with the ‘mat lights’ on. The school agreed that it was important that a light be installed, but added that there isn’t a budget for the expense. School returned with a quote for $1,100. Looking at simplifying what was submitted to lower the cost. After reviewing the estimate, Keith responded hoping that the existing circuit can be extended at a lower cost instead of installing a new circuit. Sue sent on request to school engineer for consideration.
