  PPC voted on spending $24,000 on a new control panel for the heating and cooling system.  This covers

  updating everything and the company doing this will also be the ones servicing our heating and cooling

  system.

Old Business:

Todd Westendorf – New sign will be worked on as soon as Drama is over.  Per Dan O’Connell the electric sign originally thought about was $10,000 to $15,000, so we are just going with what we have and fixing that as well as the electric in that.

Matt Stenger – Mary is up in the back behind the Annex.  Bert Schroth will be working with Father on getting the plants and grass, etc. put up back there.  Father would like this done by May Crowning.  A parissioner donated the money to do this decorating.  Matt thanked Joe Lengerich, Brian Minning, Gary Ehling and everyone who assisted in anyway with getting where she is.

New Business:

Todd Grandstaff – For anyone who has kid glove tickets, he has a bunch of Hall of Fame tickets, if anyone is interested in taking the kids to this before the game, please contact Todd directly to get these tickets.

Mark Auferbeck/Gary Ehling – Gary has set up a website where anyone in the parish can use for fundraisers, etc. to purchase items and pay for them with a credit card.  Talked about using this for sign-ups as well in the future.  There is a fee per transaction, so will be discussed further by the board to see if this is something we would want to pursue.  It could be that if our sport fee is $40 and you wish to pay via credit card, you might be charged $41.00 to cover the fee of the credit card payment.  More discussion to follow.   For now, if anyone having a fund raiser wishes to untilize this website, please contact Gary Ehling.  The website is www.saintalsfundraiser.org.  Currently you can purchase your major award tickets this way.  This is a secure website.

Steve Bigner – Pilgrim has agreed that we can start parking in their lot again for events held at St. Al’s.  The only thing they ask is that we call them in advance to ask if they have anything going on before we just start parking their.  Their office number is 574-4208.  Suggestion was made to get a monthly calendar from them.

Dave Bauer – There will be additional parking for the festival available in the empty spot by Frisches (where Roy Rogers used to be).

Dave Bauer – Made a motion for Athletics to purchase 2 Major Award tickets for this years festival.  Motion was seconded by Mark Aufderbeck and all approved.

Steve Bigner – asked about the spot under the scoreboard where Athletics has a sign and if it was OK to replace that with a sponsor.  All agreed it was OK to remove our sign and allow it to be rented out.
