Meeting called to Order at 7:10 by Jeff Maas

Opened in Prayer by Obie Galindo

Officers in attendance:  Jeff Maas - President, Obie Galindo – Athletic Director, Page Porter - Treasurer Nanette Hintz – Secretary, Todd Ivory - Webmaster

 

Presidents Address: Welcome New President and Thank you!

 

Secretary Report: May Minutes approved with no changes

 

Treasury Report:  Beginning Balance of $5260.11.  Correction to last month, check #219 was actually #218.  Out this month was $520.13 for the mascot, $598.77 for the field drags (a mid-month officers vote approved the increased amount from $478), $240.34 for “LEAGUE CHAMP” shirts - yeah! ($101 of that amount is for parents shirts that will be reimbursed).  In was the scratcher amount collected of $637.75, this was $100 more than originally thought at the May meeting.  Ending Balance of $4538.62.  Still pending is $510 for Tournament fees for varsity girl’s summer basketball and two reimbursements expected from Staples Center for $250 and Bethel for $140.  Cash Bag from Snack bars was kept out for summer use.

 

Website Update and Info:  Can we burn copies of slide shows and picture movies from Sports Awards for sale?  Yes, we can.  The school has burning equipment.  Todd can advertise these items for sale on the site.

 

OLD BUSINESS:

A.       Golf Shirts – Invoice has not come up again.  We are considering this a finished item.

B.       Scratchers – Still have 19 untouched booklets and 15 partial (around $1100 on the partials)

1.        Coach Galindo will use the 19 full books starting right after his carwash to raise the new football uniform monies needed.

2.       A.D. Galindo has received approval to change over the coloring of all uniforms as soon as money allows so he suggested the Varsity Volleyball Team take the 15 partial books and see what they can raise towards new uniforms too!  Nanette will talk with Coach Shelley on 6/11 about the timing she feels is best for her teams to work on a fund raiser.

C.       Little Gals Softball Camp – (for details on attending please call the school office).  The camp is to be held June 22 thru 27 on the VVCS Field.  Coach Galindo is using this as another way of raising funds for football uniforms.  He asked the Boosters to pick up the lunch tab for the all day Saturday.  It was agreed that Boosters will pay for pizza.  There was no amount decided on as we do not know how many plan on attending.  Page and Obie will work together to take care of this.

D.      Football Uniforms:  Coach Galindo has a price of $3000 for the team to change over to the New ‘Vegas Gold’.  Helmets are painted each year and that cost is in the Athletic Dept Budget for Football already.

1.        Coach is not asking for any exact amount from Boosters.

2.       Funds are being raised through the following events:

a.        Little Gal Softball Camp (potential $500 to $1500)

b.        Summer Car Wash (potential $500 to $800)

c.        Team Fundraiser using the Scratcher Cards (potential $1900)

d.        Passing League hosted by VVCS in July (potential $500)

e.        Field Rentals (potential $$$?)

We all agreed at this rate Coach Galindo will be raising enough money to be making a large donation to the Booster Club with all the extra money he will be raising above and beyond the costs of new uniforms!.  Boosters have offered their support in each of these efforts to help in whatever way we can; lunch, snack bars, donate the cost of the scratcher cards, etc.  Good Luck Team and Coach!

E.       League Champion Shirts:  A mid-month issue came up and was discussed and voted on by officers via email to sponsor shirts for the Varsity Boys Baseball team as they took top team honors this season.  Designs were picked by the team and parents were given the option of purchasing additional shirts for cost.  Boys will be allowed to wear their shirts on the last day of school.

F.       Gift Registry on Website:

1.        Athletic Director says he has mentioned to coaches to get him a list of needs.

2.       Nanette suggested a call from a Booster to the coaches to reiterate the idea and to offer help in creating a list.  A.D. informed us that all items have to be approved by him before being published on a list.

3.       Todd said he would get a section on the website set up for the “Wish List” (and he did just that!)  Thank you Todd.  It looks great and we will build from there.

G.      Car Wash:

1.        Date is set for July 18th

2.       Pre-Sale tickets are to be handed out to athletes at practice next week.  Each will get a booklet of 10 tickets to sell.

3.       Boosters will man a snack bar for the day.  Details and volunteer duty list will be made at July’s meeting.

H.      Varsity Club Patches:  This item was overlooked at the Spring Sports Awards.  It was decided they will be awarded at the Back-to-School BBQ in August.  Need to invite 09 Seniors to return.

I.       Athletic Director Conference in April 2010 Fees:  The deadline is not until Sept or Oct to register so we ‘TABLED” the item until then.

NEW BUSINESS:

A.        Varsity Volleyball:  Coach Shelley said that she had not been given her budget for the year yet but knew her teams would be in need of some new volleyballs again.  A.D. added that she may need some funds for any tournaments she wishes to attend also.  Since Shelley may have access to some additional equipment she did not know about when asking for ball-funds it was decided to give the Summer Volleyball program $250 to be used however the coach needs; tournament fees, new balls, equipment or pedicures.

B.        Varsity Boys Basketball:  Coach Davidson was unable to attend due to work schedule but discussed a team need with President Maas prior to the meeting and asked if he could speak on his behalf.  The summer league team is looking forward to playing in more than one summer tournament.  The team is paying for the first tournament on their own but Coach Davidson would like to see if Boosters have some money they could use to sponsor an additional tournament.  This tournament date, location and time would be decided on only after approval from the A.D. and after the funds were secure.  Boosters decided to offer the team a check for $350 to go toward tournament fees.

C.        Football:  The team is attending a Passing League at Banning High School this next week and Coach Galindo asked if the Booster Club would pay for the team’s $125 entry fee.  Money was approved.

D.       Back to School Sports BBQ Kick Off:  This was brought up only to warn all that the July meeting will be used to start the planning process for everyone to bring their ideas and comments and helping hands to that meeting.

E.        2009-2010 Fund Raising Calendar:  A calendar of items and events, projections and actual funds raised was brought to the table.  We went over a few details on specific items and why or why not to do them again.  A copy was sent home as homework with each attending and will be worked on next meeting.  To request a copy of the proposed calendar please email hintz4@yahoo.com

 

OPEN FORUM:

A.       Coach Galindo is working on hosting a Football Passing League.  He asked if Boosters would host a Snack Bar at the event.  Nanette suggested that all proceeds over costs be given directly to the New Football Uniforms Fund.  No date is set at this time.  This item will be gone over in July meeting again.

B.       Athletic Director/VVCS Administrative Agent to Booster Club Galindo suggested that the new officers review the by-laws of the club and make revisions as may be necessary.  We did not have time so Page said she would make copies of the papers and get them out to the officers in the next few days to review as more homework!
