  The topic of the Booster Club dasher board was presented to the general membership. In addition to the dasher board, he Booster Club will also have the opportunity to place periodic announcements on the "ring" advertising screen around the arena. Mark put the vote to the general membership. The motion passed with one opposing vote by Margaret, who was not in agreement that the expense of the dasher board sign overruled the benefit of it.

  Mark moved on to discuss the possibility of creating T-shirts and sweatshirts for the club. The idea will be examined by the Board of Directors.

  November 3^rd is Houston Aeros Military Night. Tom Huber suggested that this would be a great opportunity for the Booster Club to sponsor tickets for those in the military, and their families. He further suggested that the tickets should be half donations and half from the Booster Club treasury. The final decision was made to guarantee $450 towards tickets, and that we collect donations to offset the expense. Any excess would go toward providing more tickets. The motion was seconded by Melanie and Christiane and passed unanimously.

  Erika then brought up the discussion of TABC certification for the general membership. Information about the actual certification process was carified, as well as who might be interested in such certification.

  The club still needs a website domain host so that we can link our two sites together. The club is still looking for someone to do this.

  A motion to adjourn was presented at 8:20 PM by Tom, and seconded by...everyone.
