Our next meeting will be Tuesday, June 2, at Alicia’s in the Fiesta Room at 6:30 pm. The new assistant director will be invited so people can meet him. Note that Denise George will be able to attend. Production Report The Great Game Show Mash Up will clear $1,800-2,000. We had 399 paid tickets with roughly 435 in attendance. The committee recommends it be scheduled in January on a Friday night. A financial report will be sent to the other directors and bc presidents and request that they get 2-3 people lined up from their departments for the committee so they can start meeting in September.

The Jr. High OAP cleared $1,000, with about 180 people attending. Maggie would like for it to possibly run more according to UIL rules.

New Business A discussion was held about each company member being required to sell program advertisements. Several amounts were mentioned. The forms will need to be revised for next year.

Michelle LaCour proposed having an end of the year party in the black box. The theme will be ‘Thrift Shop Prom’. Denise, Dina and Michelle will figure out the details.
