Members and Guests present:  Kathy Hermanson (led the meeting), Doc Bennett, Ella Bristow, Kathy Komlos, Dede Powers, Francine Porter, Nathan Porter, Alicia Smith.

 

Secretary’s Report: The minutes from the last meeting were not available. There was no correspondence.

 

Treasurer’s Report: The Treasurer’s Report was presented. Nathan Porter motioned to accept the report, Alicia Smith seconded. Kathy Hermanson is Treasurer-elect and she will meet with former Treasurer Robert Fulghum to go over matters necessary to make the transition. Doc requested a list of those students who have not paid their uniform dry-cleaning fees so the funds can be collected.

 

Fundraisers: The Laser Tag event did not work out. There were not enough tickets sold to get exclusive reservation of the facility. The event was cancelled and refunds were distributed. We discussed the reason for the failure – event was on a weeknight? Cost too high for students? Busy time of year? We may try to have the event again during Spring Break, although some parents are concerned that families will be traveling. BACH will survey the students for input.

 

Great Video Productions: Kathy presented the flyer handout schedule. There are still a few spots open on the schedule for Friday afternoon and Saturday midday.

 

Mardi Gras Day:  The Methodist Churches started Katrina Recovery program to send groups to Mississippi to aid victims. A fund raising event will be held February 17th at the First United Methodist Church in Tempe. We have been invited to sell cotton candy at lunch time with shared proceeds. The event is indoors and electricity is available. This could also be a community service opportunity for students helping to serve three meals that day. Meals are $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for kids 12 years and under. Donations are accepted.

 

Yard Sale: The Booster’s Yard Sale is planned for February. We have a storage unit for items in closed boxes. There is no space for large items. BACH will announce a donation day for students/parents to bring items to school for the sale. We will ask Lindsay Komlos to make a mass email announcement for the Yard Sale when a date is set, and ask for donations.

 

Coupon Event: The Coupon Book sales event is set for February. Francine will contact the company to assure that books are available in time for the Yard Sale. Money made during the sale will go into individual accounts for those students that sell them. Money for books sold by the company will go into the General Fund.

 

BACH: BACH wants to sell candy canes/candy grams on Monday. Doc advises that they need approval from the Student Council. Candy canes will be $1.00 with message, to be delivered to friends. Doc will follow up with BACH to be sure proper procedure is followed.

 

Other Possible Fundraisers: Ideas were briefly discussed for other fundraising – ColdStone Creamery tip night was investigated by Alicia Smith. The office has not returned her call. Deer Valley HS has a fundraiser night at Outback Steakhouse that we could check into. The Sugar Bowl and Harkins Theaters have fundraising events. Shani Whormes-Smith works at Harkins and will check into their program.

 

Business:

 

Spring Trip: The Spring Concert Band trip has been approved by the district and is set for March 15-18, 2007. The band will compete in a music festival in Fullerton and visit Medieval Times and Disneyland. Cost will be $491.00 to $495.00 per student. Details will be forthcoming.

 

Jackets: The first shipment of band jackets has arrived. Another order will be placed tomorrow. All but 8 people have paid for the first order. Jackets are $50.00 with name embroidered on the front. We get $6.00 per jacket.

 

State Tax Credit: Donations can be made to the school with designation for the Band program through December 31. Saguaro HS is contacting parents to encourage donations. They also have donation forms on their website with special fundraiser categories to choose from. We may consider something like this for future.

 

Donation: $10.00 was left over after refunding money for laser tag. It is not known where the extra come from. It will be donated to the General Fund.

 

 

Activities:

 

Winter Concert:  The concert is Tuesday night at Scottsdale Community College at 7:00 pm. Call time is 6:30 pm at the Performing Arts Center. Band is required to watch other performers. Music is holiday themed. Students were given an instruction sheet and map.

 

Discussion:

 

Spring Drumline: Due to scheduling difficulties, there will be no Spring Drumline.

Francine Porter motioned to adjourn the meeting, Dede Powers seconded.
