Mary: Wanted to know if the helmets are a priority for everyone?

Joel: Made a point to explain the head coach is asking for at least 6 new concussion helmets.  Joel explained different types.  A questioned was raised if only 6 helmets are who gets to wear them?  A suggestion was made to begin to start putting money to the side for the helmets. Discussion continued on why it is good idea to buy the concussion helmets.

Dick: Gave the figure of 17K needed to get one hundred helmets

Mary: Will be contacting John Lund to get in contact with a helmet rep to come out and discuss the new helmets with the gridiron club

Joel: Discussed some more of the items on John Lund’s wish list for next season.  The gridiron club added ¾ length weather jackets for players who were on the sideline out of the game.

Mary: Is checking with John Lund on where the rest of the weather jackets are located.  She will also look to speak to a sports rep about how much the jackets cost.
