In Attendance: Tracy Wilson, Sondra Bialkowski, Kirk Mathers, Glenda Lubben, Laura Fuhrmark, Michelle Custer, Coach Campbell.

BANQUET: The Varsity banquet turned out nice!! Thank you to everyone who helped make it another successful year!!

At the end of each season coaches from all levels are invited to attend the varsity banquet. The parent club purchases gift cards and other items as a way to say Thank You from all parents for all the hard work, time, and effort the coaches put into each season. It was suggested at the meeting to let parents know they are welcome to donate money to the booster club tagged specifically to help purchase thank you gifts for the coaches. There were several parents who would have liked to donate this year but did not know they could. The board apologized for not explaining how the coaches gifts work each year and for not letting parents know they could donate. Every effort will be made next season to ensure those types of items are better communicated to the parents.

WEBSITE: Several parents have voiced concern regarding the new website not being very user friendly. Sondra is working with Rob (our website adviser) to make it user friendly. One of the big problems we were having is being able to post sponsor logos. It would take nearly 2 hours for the website to accept the logo and then it would kick it out again. There were several times we were not able to post messages, meeting minutes, or other pertinent information on the website. Rob listened to our concerns and the following changes are being made to the website:

*Updating the site to make posting user friendly

*The season schedule for ALL levels will be on the home page

*Live feed for game scores

*Players/Parents can register with FB/Cell phone information

*We can separate Frosh/JV/Varsity parents and send texts/emails/or FB posts

*Traffic feature will be turned on

*Be able to make announcements and bold advertisements on the home page

Changes to the website should be done within the next couple of weeks. This will allow us to start selling website ads in January. The plus side this year to our sponsors is they will receive almost a year and a half worth of advertisements for the price of just one season.

FUNDRAISER IDEAS: We are looking into getting a spot at one of the theatres to sell tickets to the premier of one of the big summer blockbuster movies. We will have more information at the next meeting. Since our school will finally be old enough we will also be able to have raffles, bingo or casino nights, 50/50′s and some other fun money makers. It was also suggested we could have an NFL Draft party at Blue32 or Buffalo Wild Wings and a percentage of sales during a certain time frame would be donated to the booster club. We will have more information on the NFL Draft party at our next meeting as well. Some other suggestions were to have a V.I.P. family air soft gun night, candle or cookie dough sales. If you have any fundraiser suggestions please let us know. Keep in mind we would like to start selling sponsor ads in January after the website is updated in hopes that business owners like the idea of getting more advertising time for their money this season, if you know any business owners who would be interested please spread the word. You can contact any board member to receive a sponsor form.

CONCESSION STAND: It was brought to the attention of the board there were several parents who would have donated to the concession stand if they had known donations would be accepted. If any parent would like to donate sodas, water, Gatorade, or any items sold in the concession stand please feel free to do so. Graduation water sales are coming up in May and water donations would be great to have. We will also be helping with the AIMS breakfast in the Spring and we will need help with getting donations for bagels, cream cheese, fruit, muffins, water, gallon size zip lock bags, and paper goods. The booster club is happy to accept donations at anytime. The board apologizes for not making a better effort in letting the parents know donations are welcomed anytime year round.

Running for the Booster Club Board next year?: Please post a few sentences about yourself, and the position you are running for. They will be posted in February 2012, and the Vote will take place in March 2012.

Running for School Board: It was brought to the Coaches attention that it would be wonderful if we had a Parent that is involved with our school and athletic programs who would be interested in for the board. It would bring another outlook regarding school athletics to the fore front for all to see. You must live in district boundaries to run for the board.

Coach Campbell Update: The players need a mental break weight lifting will begin again in January. They should be doing lifting on their own till then. Boys will get 1 ½ weeks off this summer before Varsity Camp in July. Off- 7/16-7/24. Camp, 7/25-7/28. Monday 7/30 will be first official day of Practice.
