Minutes from September 7, 2010

Choral Booster Meeting

Meeting was called to order at 7:05 p.m. by Steve Johnston, President of the Choral Boosters for 2010 – 2011. Steve stated that the Booster organization is for the benefit of the students in the choir program.

The board members were introduced as well as the choir directors at both campuses.

Steve stressed the importance of volunteers to help with man power for the various opportunities. Yellow sheets for the various activities were on the table for names and phone numbers of volunteers. There was also a sheet for signing in with your name and email address.

Volunteers are needed for the following activities:

-Video tape helpers for the Christmas and Spring concerts – this is a fun activity and you are trained by T.V. personnel.

- Disney trip helpers are needed as chaperones and in preparation for the trip.

- Zappa snack helpers – Maryann is in need of volunteers to help with distribution.

- Uniform helpers at the main campus – volunteers are needed to learn the system and

help with concerts

- Spring Dance Coordinator and helpers – this dance is self supporting

Fund Raisers

Zappa snack forms were sent home today. Students will earn 25% profit towards Disney

JD Stackerz cards – Restaurant near Liberty Krogers. Cards were available that donate

10% of sales back to the choir. If you activate the card number on

the back, individual earns 5% towards products.

Other ideas suggested for fundraising were Kroger cards, selling ads for the choir programs, pizza kits from Little Caesar’s, City BBQ night, Bob Evans night, Gold Star Chili night. Carlena Grayson and Jenny Walters offered to help organize additional fundraisers.

Treasurer Report – A treasurer report was not given during the meeting due to the treasurer not being present. The choir has a yearly budget of $9,910. As of this meeting, we presently have $686.91 in our Lakota Performing Arts account.

Disney

All the Disney trip information will be on edline by September 8. Trip is for currently enrolled choir students at the East campus grades 9-12.

Kimberly Summers is the person to contact at New Horizons if you have questions.

Penny Eisner is our parent to contact with questions.

It is important that we have a ratio of 4 students to 1 chaperone.

First deposit is due September 15. Mrs. Huddilston and Mrs. Underwood will be available first period to receive money so students do not have to carry until class.

It was suggested to pay the $75/person refund policy in the event that your student cannot attend for any reason. On the application form, the $75 is already added into amount. You may subtract it out and only pay $939.

Disney trip is every 2 years however, this may be the last one for awhile considering present state of economy.

Students will sign up for bus buddies and for room buddies.

Boyfriends and girlfriends will not be on the same bus. Boys must have a boy bus buddy, girls must have a girl bus buddy.

Parents were concerned about the number of freshman and upperclassman parent chaperones. We should know if we have adequate chaperones by the November meeting.

Steve thanked everyone for coming this evening and for donating their time to the program.

Meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m.
