Funding Secured
In Spring 2025, Mike Johansen (alumni member and lobbyist), in collaboration with Senator Gile (District 33), successfully secured a $75,000 Legislative Bond Initiative to support the club’s field lighting project.

Project Management
Henry Posko and Katie Fitzgerald managed the initial filings with the American Legion. Upon completion, project oversight was transitioned to Phil Denton, who assumed responsibility for implementation.

Project Approval & Contracting
In December 2025, the SRRFC Board of Directors voted to proceed with the proposal from Musco Sports Lighting, LLC, following the recommendation of Project Manager Phil Denton. The contract has been executed, and the first payment has been issued to Musco.

Next Steps
The Board of Directors, through the Infrastructure Committee chaired by Henry Posko, will continue coordinating with the American Legion to ensure proper appropriation of funds.
