Secretary’s Report:  (As posted on the website)

Nathan Porter motioned to accept the December minutes. Steve Toupal seconded. Motion passed. There was no correspondence.

 

Treasurer’s Report: The Treasurer’s Report was presented. It was reported that the check from Great Video Productions was returned because of a problem with the issuer’s account. It will be reissued and GVP will reimburse bank fees. Francine Porter motioned to accept the Treasurer’s Report. Nathan Porter seconded. Motion passed.

 

Fundraisers:

Great Video Productions: The Boosters have been invited to hand out flyers for ASU Graduation and High School Graduations held at ASU May 10-12. Volunteers are needed for this fundraising opportunity.

 

Mardi Gras Day: This fundraiser will be 2/17/07 at the United Methodist Church in Tempe. The event will raise money for Katrina victims, and the Boosters will sell cotton candy. We will split the proceeds 50-50 with the church. Kathy Hermanson has volunteered to run the cotton candy booth. This event is the same day as the Regional Band concert.

 

There will be a Yard Sale on February 9-11 at the home of Bob and Becky Ingram, 2806 N. 70th Street. Donations will be accepted February 7th at the band room or Thursday evening or Friday morning at the Ingram’s. For large items, call Kathy Hermanson.

 

The Coupon Book is still on hold while the contractor is waiting for confirmation from 4 merchants. Printing is 2 weeks from now.

 

Time Share: Pending.

 

Laser Tag: There is interest in organizing another Laser Tag event. Only half of the targeted number of tickets were sold in December. We discussed possible changes in day, time…

 

Business:

The E-Board held a  Budget Meeting on January 22, and the resulting budget for 2007-2008 was presented (see Budget Worksheet). The following items were discussed:

          Q: Steve Toupal asked if the budget included costs of band competitions and Band Days, like NAU. A: Most fees are covered by the District. The Boosters pay for equipment truck rental which enables us to drive – the District would be required to hire a driver.

          Q: Steve Toupal asked if jacket fees for seniors were included in the budget. A: No. This year the Boosters gave the jackets to seniors as a gift for sticking out a difficult year.

          Q: John Komlos asked about Spring Drumline for 2007-2008. A: If there is a Spring Drumline, the students involved will have to pay the costs. It would not be a scheduled class, but an extracurricular activity, so no funding would come from the District.

 

Ella Bristow motioned to accept the proposed budget. Steve Toupal seconded. Motion passed.

 

Spring Tour:  The last of three student payments for the Spring Tour is due March 1. Please note that only half of the trip cost can come from tax credit monies.

 

Band Camp: The school calendar has been approved and school starts August 13. The Mingus Mountain camp reports that Palo Verde High School (Las Vegas) has reserved August 6-11. They have a week open in July, but that may not work. August 6-11 is available at Camp Shadow Pines in Heber. They have a football field. No info on cost as yet.
