HERITAGE BOOSTER CLUB MINUTES

February 2, 2006

 

Present: Beth Marchman, Cindy Adams, Sandy Thames, Susan Ebersbach

 

Old Business:

The Parent and Student Activity Accounting Form was presented by Sandy Thames, treasurer for the period ending 12/31/05, and is attached hereto. The existing balance as of today however is $10,012.99.

 

New Business:

1)       Coach Huff has requested a Booster Club contribution towards the lease of our baseball outfield fence ($995.00). However discussion followed concerning the anticipated cost of purchase ($15.00/foot x 330” versus leasing costs). It was agreed that the Booster Club would commit to contribute $1000.00 towards the outfield fence, but we want to explore the possibility of the school splitting the difference in the costs remaining to purchase the fence instead (particularly since the rental costs are included in the following years’ Athletic Department budgets).

2)       The baseball team is also in need of  8 additional equipment bags. The Booster Club agreed to contribute $360.00 ($45.00 x 8) for this purchase.

3)       The Booster Club will provide the Cheerleading Sponsor, Jane LaGuardia, the costs of the cheerleaders’ lodging for the State Basketball Tournament this year, as well as $20.00 per girl for expenses.

4)       Laura Crimes and Audrey Spragins will be the sponsors for the Little Cheerleaders Squad next school year. We also discussed what a great job Dee Smith and Mary Catherine Carter have done with these little girls this year, and how great their performances are for our school spirit and game attendance.

 

DISCUSSION & IDEAS:

1)        We need to begin exploring how Booster Club will be able to keep expenses and income related to the fledgling football program separate next year, in consideration of the facts that their expenses are not going to be included in the Athletic or School budgets next year and that they are the only team at heritage that must be financially self-supporting for the ‘06 – ‘07 school year.

2)        Specific needs for trophies, etc. for our ‘06 spring sports need to be reported / requested to the Booster Club for consideration.

 

With no more business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 12:30PM.
