A. Membership – Susan Lisheron reports that membership has remained unchanged.
B. Banquet – David reports that there are 108 RSVP’s so far. The count is low among the JV players so Maria and Marisela will call parents to make sure they know that players eat free. David needs head count to make final report to caterer. The program is almost finished. Kris will be in charge of set up and has 3 people signed up to help with this beginning around 4:30 p.m.
C. Coach gifts – We are not allowed to give gift cards so we will write a check for their gift. There is $900 budgeted to cover this plus the taxes that have to be taken out. Susan made a motion to pay $400 and $500 to the coaches plus the taxes that will be taken out which is estimated to be around $30-$40.
D. Banquet video - Suzanna needs the final rosters for All Academic District players to use for the video presentation. Maria will also send calendar team pictures to Suzanna.
E. Scholarships - Committee will be meeting after tonight to review applications. There have been 6 received so far. Names will be given to David so certificates can be printed.
F. 2010 Scholarships – We will begin dialogue to possibly change scholarship requirements. Suzanna suggests that the students have more investment in the club in order to receive scholarship. She thinks we can keep track of who works or participates at booster club functions and can have a place on the application for this information. The scholarship committee should be able to make discretionary decisions based on who has helped the booster club/ team. David suggests that the committee establish the criteria, that will begin with the class of 2011, at the beginning of the year. Kris and Marisela have volunteered to be on the committee for next year.
New Business
A. Bulldogs and Hotdogs – There will be a meeting in May for all the booster presidents. David will plan on asking them to put all the food booths together
B. Maria will be thinking of other fundraisers we might try such as a casino night with the fish fry in the spring. Players may be able to be the dealers (18 year olds). For the calendar we could use sponsors instead of selling ads.
Next meeting will be officers during the summer to discuss the upcoming year. David will call officers to inform of date. The next booster club meeting will be in September after school starts.
Meeting adjourned.
