Treasurer

  • For April, total income was $169.25 and total expenses were $1550.89. The balance at the end of April was $13,359.83
  • For May, total income was $233.69 from Indigo Joes fundraiser and merchandise sales and total expenses were $1737.23 most coming from senior recognition. The balance as of May 31st was $11,856.29.
  • Sandy has a check from Sky Sox for $784 for all the April and May 3rd games. She will deposit it towards the $1300 we initially paid out.
  • Sandy received a letter to renew the raffle license. Karen Arel and Jeanette Applin will be taking the class.
  • Sandy will also talk to Nancy about transferring money from the concessions account to the US bank account.
  • Those coaches who took athletes to state need to submit forms so they can be reimbursed for their expenses.

Membership

  • Laura Watts has agreed to be in charge of membership. Debb will forward the spreadsheet to her.
  • All memberships are $10 including teachers. Doug will draft an e-mail and send it to Brett and Nancy about memberships.

Concessions

  • Sky Sox is doing very well.
  • All kids that work need to be at least 16 years old.
  • Doug will double check to see if Joanne still needs help July 1, 2, & 3rd.

 

Merchandise

  • Laurie is not here.

Old Business

  • The officers for the 2009-2010 year have not changed. The board members are Joanne Tolbert, Linda Garcia, Becky Jackson, Karen Arel, and Jeanette Applin.
  • Some comments about Senior Recognition were: it seemed rushed, not enough time to read all the accomplishments, not enough room on stage for all the coaches to sit; only 30 athletes came out of 90.
  • Brett’s greatest concern was having only 30 athletes show up for all the time, money, and effort we put into it. Next year we should possibly look into doing something different.
  • We only made $63 at Indigo Joes. It could have been too far away and this was a busy time of year, don’t do this kind of fundraiser in May.

New Business

  • Doug made some grammatical changes to the by-laws. Angela will make some changes with the nominating committee and past president and submit a draft at the next meeting.
  • Some goals for the budget for next year are: moving the baseball scoreboard or a dual scoreboard for both baseball and softball, Debb suggested a marquee for the front of the school. Brett said The ACE Program is looking into that and maybe we could join in with them. He also suggested we could get businesses to advertise on the scoreboard to raise money, He already has a letter ready to send. About 60 to 80,000 people would see it a year. Cheer is doing the carwash so we will see how well they do.
  • Registration will be on Aug 6th and 7th from 8-10 and 12-2. Should we sell beverages and snacks? Freshman orientation is on Monday, Aug 17th. Open house is Aug 25th. Maybe we could do a BBQ that night? Student Council is doing a Carnival or some kind of Fair. Doug will talk to Leah for more info.
  • A motion was made for $10 membership fees, which will include 10 punches for 1 free popcorn per punch at the Mitchell High School concession stand. All were in favor. Laura will make the membership cards.

Open Discussion

  • Doug will e-mail Laurie on t-shirts for memberships.
  • Brett was very pleased overall on how the spring season ended. There are openings for a new girls and a new boy’s basketball coach and a new girls and boys track coach.

 

The next meeting will be on Monday August 3rd at 6:00 pm.
