BOOSTER CLUB MEETING MINUTES

October 5, 2009

Meeting called to Order at 7:10 by Nanette Hintz

Opened in Prayer by Obie Galindo

Officers in attendance:  Jeff Maas – President (excused first 30 minutes absences), Page Porter - Treasurer Nanette Hintz – Secretary, Todd Ivory – Website Master

In attendance: Board Members Renee Morris, Jim Bowerman and Russ Netter.  Lisa Galindo and Obie Galindo – Athletic Director

 

Secretary Report: September Minutes approved with no changes

 

Treasury Report:  Lots to be discussed as this was our first look at the new accounting system.  We went item by item and talked about each so everyone understood what we were looking at.  In the end, Page made notes to talk to accountant about a few issues.  She also decided that she will need to work on her own report that will be balanced against the accountants statement so that at our meetings we will have information that reflects everything current to our records.  Example: Smart and Final purchases for Boosters our now, as often as possible, made on the school S&F credit account.  These charges so on our statement as one sum and may not reflect all purchases at the time of our meetings. 

Activity Summarized for the past two months are available for viewing.   

Website Update:  We have had several inquiries through the website of people wanting to be on our emailing list.  Parents are using the map links for away games and LOVING IT!  What a wonderful addition, thank you WebMaster!  Please continue to encourage people that you see taking pictures at games to send them in to the website to be posted.

 

OLD BUSINESS:

A.        Coupon Booklets: Received 332 booklets, orders for 51 out of area.  Returned 129.  Page will take care of the rewards for team and overall winners.

B.        Veterans Game:  We served over 40 free meals.  Good night.  Thank you to the Junior High Football team for serving the veterans.

C.        Snack Bars:  Russ brought up that more has gone out than come in.  It was explained that both bars are fully stocked and with all the donation of Veterans dinners and half-ing the snack bars with ASB on the Excelsior games that it is better than it looks on paper.  Russ also brought up that we need to ‘splurge’ for the higher quality burgers.  Renee brought up the idea of Air Pumps for extra storage of hot drinks on cold nights.

D.       Trees:  PTF is going to sell the trees.  They would like us to help promote.  Jim will work with Page and Nanette to get the forms to have an option to benefit PTF or Boosters.  Page will send school wide email.  Page and Obie are working with Dr. Byrd to promote the trees at church the next few Sundays.

E.        Tail Gate Party:  Boosters owe Athletics $65 for gate fees.  Good time for all.  Yummy desserts!

F.        Cross Country Canopy:  Nanette will call and order from EzUp in Colton .  White and we will find our own person to detail it.  Obie and Paula both have contacts for airbrushing.  Canopy will cost $400

G.        Football Shirts:  This is new business to the Boosters monthly meeting but Old Business to the club.  ReCap:  It was decided by officers to order 100 shirts in two separate designs through CustomPlanet.  They were to cost team members $5 each and each team member would be allowed 2 shirts.  All other shirts will be sold for $10.  Coaches need to push the shirts at practice.  Shirts cost  $5.82 a piece.  Shirts were completed in 6 days to be available for the home game.

H.       Stadium Chairs:  No reorder at this time.  Still have 6 chairs.  Should revisit this in Basketball season.

I.        Half Time Drawings:  Bankstons donated some items and time to promote the sale of tickets.  Kari did an amazing job of decorating the prizes.  

NEW BUSINESS:

A.        Fan Appreciation Day: Still have 68 fans that were donated last year.  Oct 19th is first home league game for volleyball.  It is voted that we will get batteries again and have a “FanNight”.  Nanette will print labels for the fans and ASB will sticker and battery the fans.  Jeff suggested we get batteries at Costco.  Page will take care of.

B.        Little Cheerleaders:  Nanette asked if the Boosters would donate 17 Inflatable We’re #1 Fingers to the Elementary  Cheerleaders.  They cost us $0.79 each.  It was agreed to donate them.

C.        Powder Puff:  It was brought up that last year we did not have Powder Puff and was there any way Boosters could help this happen this year.  Obie says that ASB is trying to make it happen.  Boosters offered help through Cj, ASB VP to ASB for any needs that may arise.

 

OPEN FORUM:

          Page said that John Kilmer has a picnic table that needs some repair but would like to donate it to Boosters.  It will take around $100 in supplies and he would donate his time to fix.  Do we want?  Jeff said he will check it out.  If it is a good deal he has authority to move forward with the fixing of and donating of the table(s).

 

Calendar items for the next month: Football, volleyball, football, cross country, more volleyball and another football game mixed in with a more cross country!  See Booster Club website for schedules and links to maps to all away games.
