Fundraisers:

Mardi Gras Day will be February 17, 2007 at the United Methodist Church in Tempe. It is a fundraiser for Katrina victims. The Boosters will sell cotton candy and split the proceeds 50-50 with the church.

 

There will be a Yard Sale on February 9-11 at the Ingram’s house. We will ask the students and parents for donations, which can be brought to the band room.  For large items, donors should contact Kathy Hermanson.

 

The Coupon Book event is supposed to begin in February. Francine reports that she has not received any new information from Craig. We are expecting contact soon.  

 

Bob Ingram has turned in the facilities use request for the Boosters to sell water at Graduation from 4-10 pm. He has asked that we handle sales on both sides of the field.

 

Business:

The main focus of tonight’s meeting is the Booster’s Budget for 2006-2007.  Kathy Hermanson reported the  balance in the General Fund as $12,221.00. We reviewed the Budget Worksheet made by Kathy Hermanson and records provided by former treasurer Robert Fulgum. Among the items discussed were the Band Awards Banquet: some members feel we should pay for the Band members with money from the General Fund. The Community Investment category of the budget carries donations our organization makes to Minds in Motion. The Maintenance category is defined as service and repairs to the popcorn machine, cotton candy machine, etc. Dr. Bennett proposed music and visual package for Marching Band will cost $1500.00 to $2000.00, including battery and guard. Doc feels that the Visual Package fees could be paid for using class fees. Professional expenses are miscellaneous costs incurred by Doc. We discussed the Postage and Mailing category: It was set up to fund mailing of the booster newsletter, The Bugle. We have not produced a newsletter for the past year or more, but have developed a website. The committee proposed using the money for the website and making a paper edition available to mail to those who do not have internet access. The budget proposals made tonight will be presented to the Band Boosters at our next General Meeting, to be held February 1, 2007.
