Secretary Report: June Minutes Approved with no changes

 

Treasury Report:  Report will be reviewed at the August Meeting

 

Website Update:  We still need the coach’s specific needs for the Gift Registry.  Any and all pictures are welcome.  All we need to keep the site fresh is help from everyone with anything they wish see on the pages.  Todd will post schedules as soon as he receives them from the athletic dept.

 

OLD BUSINESS:

A.        Where is the Mascot?  Nanette is working with the mascot company.  Its delivery company says it was delivered but can not produce a signature for receipt so…the mascot story continues…

B.        Scratcher Cards:  Football team will start on this fund raiser right after the car wash to raise monies for the new uniforms.  Obie will organize this with help from Page.

C.        Football Uniforms:  Coach Galindo is still working on the fund raising and ordering.

1.        Little Gal Softball Camp was cancelled.

2.       Summer Car Wash: Set for July 18th.  Tickets have been passed out to the athletes.  Coach Galindo has all areas covered to include the man power, signs and supplies.  Bree suggested creating a Car Wash banner to use year after year.  Boosters will provide snack bar. (Nanette and Russ will bring coolers.  Nanette will purchase drinks and non-melting snacks.  Page will bring the cash bag.  Page and Nanette will man the table for the day)

3.       Scratcher Cards (see above details)

4.       Filed Rentals: Coach Galindo is handling this himself.

D.      Kick Off BBQ:

1.        Date is set for August 27th 6pm to 8pm in the VVCS Gym.

2.       We will add the Varsity Patch Presentation, announcement of banner sponsors and an on going picture/video to the events of the evening.

3.       Obie suggests that all else stay the same as last year.

4.       We will go over volunteer needs, tickets, menus etc in our August meeting.

E.        Passing League here at VVCS:  changed to August date

F.        Staples Center :  Obie will be meeting with the new people at Staples next week to go over our owed deposit, the new deposit for this year and potential dates for our game this year.  Suggestions were made that the date be changed to later than last year maybe in January and that the ticket prices go back to the $25 each instead of the $35 price from last year.

G.        By- Laws:  Did all officers get copies to review?  No.  Jeff has a copies and will get them to Todd and Nanette for review.

 

NEW BUSINESS:

A.        Where is the ‘GAME TONIGHT’ sign?  It was heard that it may have been damaged in roof repairs or just mistaken as trash in that construction.  Obie will look into locating it.

B.        Booster Memberships:  This is covered often so to put it under new business is a stretch!  But…

1.        Game Entrance Discounts or coupons: for members, but what constitutes a ‘member’.  Attendance to a meeting, attendance to 3 meetings, just having your child play a sport?

2.       Having Booster Shirts: How to give them out, who to give them to…

3.       Laminated Membership Cards or Season by season punch cards or coupons…?

4.       How to get more people involved?  Benefits! 

OPEN FORUM:

Trophy Case: Bree brought an idea forward to update and change our trophy case.  Her ideas included sections for each sport/team with up to date info and team pictures.  Nanette has some pictures of other schools trophy case with some of the same ideas.  Maybe we could get Boosters to pay for shelving or decorations if the ideas would be approved of by the school…who to ask?  Nanette said she would talk to Pastor Josh as a starting place for approval.

 

Garage Sale:  The idea was brought up over a year ago but we were told that we would not get approval from the school/church due to the fact that the church holds their own ‘parking lot sales’.
