Group looked over list of sponsors and auction prizes. It was decided that more auction prizes are needed, and Lynn said she would follow up on some leads. Sponsorships are 100 percent greater than what was budgeted, thanks to hustling from Sammy, Stephen and other board and staff members.

Decorations were discussed - group decided that a lot of decoration was unnecessary because gambling tables and slot machines will act as decor. Table decorations will be utilized and were discussed.

Sammy said he would check with Sister Corita about her crew for night of the event and when they can set up the food from Sokolowskis. Set up for event will take place on Thursday.

All board members will be asked to volunteer to help out on the evening of the event. Number of volunteers for bingo, liquor basket, sideboards, 50/50 raffle and auctions were determined, as well as numbers of greeters, cashiers and hosts/hostesses.

Times to start raffles, gaming, buffet line and auction were determined.

Sammy will call Gray's to ask about availability and price of parking lots for event.
