Bank balances are as follows:

$55,319.00checking

$22,078.00savings

The Durham Bulls money has come in earlier this year and more students have paid their fair share at this point…so we have taken in around $25,000. Since July, we have spent $20,000 and another $20,000 will soon be paid out to Frostburg for away camp expenses. We are in great shape for the year. Most of the salaries for the staff have already been paid out as well. Greg noted that a general ledger is always available for review at meetings.

Greg explained to new parents that Fair Share money is used for operational expenses, while general funding is used for things such as instrument purchase, etc. Greg has filed our tax return with the IRS for this past year.

It was noted that money has also been deposited for ink cartridges that have been collected and turned in.

Wendy noted that she will mail Fair Share statements this week.

  1. Operations Report–Patti Snow (not present)

Tracey presented samples of chrome emblems to consider selling. It was noted that we have a large supply of magnets still available. It was suggested to look at this later since we are doing CitiPass books and the Fruit Sale.

  1. Old Business:

Kathy extended a sincere thank you to all parent chaperones for Away Camp. She indicated it was a great week at camp. Thanks to Kathy for her organization as CampDirector.

  1. New Business:

Thank you to the parents who are organizing feeding students on Friday before games. It was noted that this will not take place on the early release day. Greg clarified that this is not for the whole band, but is primarily for students who do not have enough time to get home on the bus and back by 5:00 to get ready for the game. It was suggested for Renae to send out clarification of the policy through the yahoo email group. It was also suggested to have students sign up online to have an accurate count.

Slee Arnold noted that orders will still be taken for shirts. The band has been permitted to use the 50th Anniversary logo. It was suggested to open up polo shirt orders to all Enloe Band students as they are not marching band specific. More bags will also be purchased to sell as well as this was a success in the past.
