Knoxville Alumni Association Board Meeting Summary:
Pennie gave an estimated summary of expenses for current renovations to the stadium:

Fencing around the stadium:

$ 17,800

Historical plaque:

Corner historical plaque monument:

4,600

Lights, plants, bricks for monument:

1,000

Additional seating on north home side:

Class Reunion line-up at the stadium is at 6:30 pm. The Girl’s Basketball teams that have gone to State over the years will be honored. The poolhouse building will be open for alumni to gather if they wish. The Alumni Annual Meeting will be Saturday morning, 10:30 am at the KHS Commons.

Special Guest:  KHS football coach Troy Rider talked about his emphasis on building character in the football players and holding them responsible for alcohol or tobacco problems and for low grades. They will also be on a point system for requirements such as weight room attendance. He has set up the “Pillar Club” to be awarded at home games to qualifying players, that will include gifts and scholarships.

Pennie asked if there was any further business. There was none. The meeting was adjourned. The next meeting will be held on October 13, 2010 at 6:30 PM at
