Opened in Prayer by Obie Galindo

Officers in attendance: Jeff Maas – President, Page Porter – Treasurer, Nanette Hintz – Secretary, Todd Ivory – Website Master

In attendance: Obie Galindo – Athletic Director/VVCS Club Advisor, Board Member Renee Morris and Lisa Galindo

 

Presidents Address: Jeff thanked everyone for taking care of the January Meeting in his absence and also for changing the monthly meeting time from 7pm to 7:30pm so he is able to make it.  This will be the new time of the meetings unless otherwise decided.  

Secretary Report:  AD Obie Galindo (only one with a copy of January Minutes at the meeting!) read an over view of January Minutes and they were approved by the group.

 

Treasury Report:  January Ending Balance is $6536.42 with the following pending items:  S&F for $116, Baseball Hats for $350, Weigh Room for $500, Baseballs for $100, Medical Bags for $100, Softball Bats for $300.  Page came with two different print outs with two different ways of reviewing the account.  Both were very useful in their own ways and she will try to continue to bring both to the meetings in the future.

 

Website Update:  No real big news.  Todd is working with everyone; coaches, parents and Athletic Dept to keep things up to date and fresh.  Please remember if you would like to post any sports pictures or videos please contact the webmaster at www.vvcsboosterclub.org

 

OLD BUSINESS:

A.        By laws:  The Executive Officers met on January 23 to review the By Laws.  These changes were typed up by Page and copies were passed out.  The group checked the revisions, Page had a few questions as to wording on a few points.   She took notes as to these final revisions.  Changes will be made and the new By Laws will take effect on June 1, 2010 (as it states now in the By Laws)  High lights of the changes are:

1.        Finance Article was completely rewritten to fit the new and already in place requirements of the school.  All monies are processed through the school accounts and bookkeeper.

2.       Membership was changed to state that all parents and guardians of active sports students in the calendar year are considered ‘Members of the VVCS Booster Club’.

3.       Board Members were redefined as members who attend 3 consecutive meetings.  They will be voted in at the third meeting and will retain their voting board member status until missing three consecutive meetings.

4.       By Laws will now be reviewed every year between the February and March meetings.  Changes will take effect in new calendar year starting in June.

5.       Calendar years was changed to June through May, meetings were changed from 10 a year to 12.

6.       Vice President Office was changed from needing 30 members to appoint the office to having the office open.  It will not be filled by the Athletic Director who has now been changed to be the appointed school official for the club and is an advisor to be present at monthly meetings and work as the clubs connection with the school.

A copy of the new By Laws for the calendar year 2010-2011 are available in the office for anyone who would like one or they are also available on the Booster Club website.

B.       Snack Bars:

1.        Jr Hi Basketball and Soccer: As the teams are set, Nanette will get the snack bar lists to the parents and see if we can’t get at least snack tables for the basketball games.

2.       Softball and Baseball:  Nanette will have the schedules ready to go as soon as basketball is over.  These schedules will be posted on the website and will be present at the parent meetings.

3.       Soccer: Page is still covering this.  Please visit her at any of the home soccer games.

4.      Basketball Games:

a.        Volunteers: Nanette is working on filling the last 3 home Basketball games.  Listen for the phone…

b.        Purchasing:  Page and Obie still have this under control.

c.        Coffee Truck:  The coffee truck idea was put on hold to see if we could affectively use the coffee shop.  Kari Bankston and Page helped organize this for the Excelsior home game vs VVCS but did not have a good response.  We have been approved again for the Coffee truck BUT now we haven’t been able to reach them.  If anyone reading this knows how to contact the Jumpin’ Java Coffee Truck or any mobile coffee shop in the area that would work with us on a fundraising basis, please contact Nanette or Page SOON!

C.        Mavericks Game:  The game date is set for April 17th 2010, game time at 12:00pm for Apple Valley Christian vs VVCS, Mavericks game is at 7:05pm.  Tickets will be available for us on March 1st.  We will discuss advertising, ticket costs and all other details in our March meeting.

D.      Status of Pending Items:

a.        Plyometric Videos:  Have not been purchased yet.  Still working on locating the correct source.

b.        Medical Bags have not been completed yet.

c.        Baseball Ball Needs: Some have been purchased but not all.

d.        Baseball Hats: They have been ordered but not delivered or paid for yet.

e.        Canopy:  Still not done.  AD Galindo called his artist during the meeting and he said he will call him the following morning.  Time is of importance due to Track coming up soon.  If for any reason this contact does not follow through soon another artist will be contacted.

f.        Softball Bats:  Scratchers have been handed out to returning varsity players as we talked about last meeting.  It was discovered that the coupons to give away were expired on the booklets.  The company was called and with a quick faxed request they replaced all coupons.  This delayed handing the booklets out so the turn in date has been changed to February 16th.  Bats are being purchased now.

 

NEW BUSINESS:

A.     Large Scale Yard Sale: The date and gym have been reserved for the date of May 1st.  The trailer to be used as a collection site has also been reserved.  Renee Morris took her homework seriously and came to the meeting with a printed sheet of How To’s from her experiences at her church with similar events.  The biggest detail was organization and MAN POWER.  Page also talked to Pastor Wayne regarding the sale and he too said Man Power and getting an organization to pick up all unsold items were keys to sucess.   A man power plan and more details will be discussed next meeting.  Early advertising is the point to focus on until then.

1.        GIANT ONE DAY THRIFT STORE is the name of our event.  We will begin advertising to save your stuff, save the date ASAP by:

a.        Church Bulletin and Calendar: Page will do

b.     School Wide Email: Page again will do

d.      Flyer to hand out at next three basketball games: Nanette will handle.

B.      Spring Junior High Sports:

1.         AD Galindo is working on hiring coaches as the school has enough students signed up for all teams.  We discussed having a group parent meeting for all three sports and the Boosters voted to sponsor refreshments.  The meeting will be late February or very early March due to Jr Hi Soccer will have first game March 8th.  Page and Nanette will take care of refreshments.  AD Galindo will be present with his speech regarding where your sports fee goes.

2.       Marie Calendars Cards:  We did not have complete details on these cards at meeting time but decided even though “Pie Season” may end before we get the fundraiser going, we will still use this as our Junior High Fundraiser for Spring Sports.  Details may be decided mid month via email votes and ordering.
