Zareh asked how the group felt about trying to sell engraved bricks, much like what was done for the HS. Where to put them? Perhaps around the existing snack shack or the water fountain.

Ø Open Discussion Items:
Ø Is there a way to pipe some rally music at the games? Zareh will check with Todd to get it Okayed.
