Old Business:
Walkway Update and Recognition: No Report. Bricks are there but not put in the ground.
Hall of Fame Recap: No Report.
Meet the Cowboy/Wolves: There were low numbers in the Cowboy Organization this year. If they would not have Cowboy’s next year, we may have to reconsider this event. However, it is not a lot of work and good for the kids. Maybe better advertising to get the community more involved.
Bags and Balls: Went well, made more on 50/50 this year. Well attended even if many could not be there due to other obligations. A good way to end the summer.
Donations: Approval actual donation of Chairs and Banner because the bill was higher due to shipping that we did not know about. Motion to approve $3,355.00 for Conference Board and $3,705.40 for Chairs was made by Heather, second by Brenda. All were in Favor.
T-Shirt Update for Booster Club Members Events: Betsy gave us samples and we voted. The winning color was a dark lime green color. We just have to decide what color we want for the wording and vote to purchase next time or pay for them ourselves.
Scholarship: We need to form a committee to discuss possible scholarships and what that would look like for applicants to qualify.
Youth Flag Football: No Report. Mary will reach out to Jamie Krueger and Shannon Wepner for information.
Website: Mary is working with Garret Griffin as he has already started the website.
New Business:
PLT4M: It was brought up about making this a permanent ongoing donation. However, when we decided to pay for this originally the school gym teachers were going to be taught how to use this and it was asked if we could split the cost with the school. This was not put into the budget so we had to pay for it again this year. Since Skylar was not at the meeting, we could not discuss this with him so it was decided to bring it back to the board every year for approval and review. Motion was made by Mary , second by Heidi and approved by email vote by with 10 Members replying “yes” to pay the cost of $1200 by the Booster Club.
Krossover: We were told the school would start paying for HUDL and Krossover, however only ½ of the cost of Krossover was put in the school budget. The $400 for Wrestling is in the School Budget so we should not have to pay for that and part of the Football Team’s Hudl is in there. Motion was made by Heather, second by Mary to pay for the balance of Krossover in the approximate amount of $800. All were in favor.
Request for Check Form: Mary discussed the Request for Check form for donations and its use to keep compliant with the school.
Wrestling Tournament: Currently 8-9 teams.
7-8th Grade Girls’ Basketball Tourney: Coming up and help should be covered by parents/students per Pat.
Middle School Concessions: Brenda said going well and there is going to be a 6th Grade Girl’s weekend tourney coming up that will be run separately.
6th Grade Basketball Tournament: Pat would like to run this tournament under the Booster Club Flagship with money going to the Girls’ Basketball Account with MABC. Motion by Heather, second by Sheri to approve. All were in favor.
Middle School Basketball Shorts: Several coaches contacted us that when the school agreed to purchase uniforms for middle school basketball they were only going to pay for the jersey’s and not the shorts. They were upset because it is hard to get the kids to wear the appropriate colors if they are not issued the shorts. A motion to approve purchase of shorts for boy’s and girl’s middle school basketball uniforms up to a maximum of $1,000 was made by Betsy, second by Brianna. All were in favor.
Future Goals: Discussion was had to set goals for where we want to go with the Booster Club in the future. Are bleachers a goal or just making purchases off the wish list as needed? There was discussion to have all the coaches put together a budget of needs that they would like the Booster Club to pay for so they don’t have to have as many fundraiser’s with their team. We will have more discussion at the next meeting.
Interesting Facts: Mary went back and reviewed Booster Club Donations since 6/2012 when formed. These numbers do not include purchases/donations made by individual sports that keep their accounts within the Booster Club. The donations are as follows:
