Old Business:
Spring Meet the Teams (SMTT), rescheduled to Saturday, May 21st (Mary Mizell):
SMTT was rescheduled due to rain. Therefore, there is more time to sell deeds and increase team and Booster profits! Yes! Mary has more deeds to sell if needed. Food orders are also ongoing. It was suggested that each team member could purchase food, since they will be hungry anyway. The food will be from Taco Dude.
Baseball is doing a bake sale.
Baseball is doing a coffee bar.
A discussion was held on whether we could combine SMTT with the Spring banquet, since everyone is there already, and the families have to be out so late on a weeknight to attend the awards banquet. Mr. Yovino prefers to keep the formal nature of the banquet as it is now, and not combine the two events.
The sundae auction will still be held at SMTT.
The auction for the following items will now be at THE AUCTION at the Claremont campus on Saturday May 7th, at 5 pm.
• 1st row at 2011 graduation ceremony.
• Two (2) senior parking spots for 2011-2012. Boosters will purchase two (2) “reserved” signs. Mr. Yovino was in agreement with installing the signs.
• Two (2) preferred parking spots for football home games.
• One (1) boys and one (1) girls spirit basket.
The Auction, Saturday, May 7th, 5 pm, Claremont Campus (Brandon Doolittle):
Mr. Doolittle spoke about the Auction becoming the main fundraiser of both campuses, and the probability that the Legacy dinner would be discontinued.
He requested that any items that we may have for the auction be dropped off to Kathy Scheenstra, Claremont campus.
Mr. Cordero had a question about the auction baskets. (The teams can auction a themed basket for the silent auction portion.) He wanted to know where the profits would go. It was clarified that it would go to the teams’ accounts.
Fundraising Ideas Discussed (These ideas can be added to/integrated with ideas listed on the February and March minutes.):
Mrs. Pandzic will make some calls regarding the cell phone tower possibility.
