BOOSTER CLUB

BOOSTER CLUB SUPPORT FORM REQUEST

All parents with students in High School athletics are members of the Booster Club. Club meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month in the High School Commons. If you aren’t able to attend the meetings, it would be appreciated if you could volunteer at the concession stands for the home sporting events, Packer home game concessions, and the Pink Flamingo Tournament. It’s a great way to meet other parents and have fun while helping raise funds to support our athletic program.

If you have any questions, please call one of the following officers:

• Old Business

Winter Banquet: $700 was collected at the door. All positive comments were received. Some quantities of food will have to be adjusted. Notes will be made on that. Though the numbers were the same for the fall banquet, different sports, different athletes, i.e. football players versus pom team so closer review on amounts will be needed for the next banquet.

Scholarship Application: A few small adjustments were made to the scholarship application. Members felt it is important to have a more diverse group reviewing the applications to include an alumni, administrator, guidance counselor and booster club members. It was voted on and current version was approved. Committee members include: Greg Smith, Lisa Boyd, Karen Ambrosius, Amy Gildernick, Lori Bloemer and Steve Linssen.

• Other Items to Address

Pink Flamingo: Bonnie Linssen discussed with Lois Veau and Dave Van De Hei concerns about Pink Flamingo. The Booster Club is guaranteed a minimum of $1,000 for working the concessions at the Pink Flamingo. Amount given is determined by proceeds from the weekend event and number of groups benefiting. The Pink Flamingo’s have all been very generous in the items they have given the Booster Club, i.e. new grill, food for special events, etc. and are willing to share their time helping in whatever area we need for fundraising.
Bonnie has volunteered to oversee this year’s event with volunteers and being the main contact with the Pink Flamingos.

Motion to adjourn Lynn Aland and Lori Bloemer seconded.

Meeting adjourned – 8:39 pm
