and having one field designated for their use. He said that
the money by the softball association was made by their con-
cession stand. He eras told that the Stimpson Field had not
been set up for concessions. Further discussion led to Don

themselves before makinany promises as to what would be done.

Howard Thelkeld canine before the Board to discuss the tennis
program. He told the Board that things had dropped off drasti-
cally at the courts. Ile was asking for suggestions as to how
we could generate some interest. Trisha remarked that maybe
we could get the schools to initiate a program whereby tennis
could be part of the P.E. program. It was also thought that
maybe the heat played a big part in people not coming out
there now. Ile was told to keep on trying, that maybe this
was just a temporary lag. He thanked the Board for their
suggestions,

Board to discuss the mdmning team and their future plans.

maybe heating it in the future, depending on the fiords available.
